Feedback about New Inn Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the New Inn Hotel for its spacious and clean rooms, often highlighting the superior double rooms. The delicious and varied food, including the excellent breakfast with both continental and hot options, and the fisherman's platter, is another frequently mentioned highlight. The hotel's location provides easy access to attractions such as Ellon Castle gardens and Balmoral Castle; some guests have, however, noted occasional noise disturbances at night. With free parking and its proximity to a lovely river walk, it's considered a great value base for exploring the area.

loud music excessive heat
Breakfast offered a good selection of items.
The room I booked (a Double Room) turned out to be directly above the bar. Loud music continued until 1 AM. This made it impossible to sleep. the room was excessively hot. I couldn't open the window due to the noise. (This was frustrating.)

surprisingly lovely stay

friendly staff comfortable bed local produce
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. was nice, the bar area was lively but not disruptive. my room had recent updates, and the bed was very comfortable. the breakfast included locally sourced products.
