Newburgh Inn

Tucked between Aberdeen and Ellon, just ten minutes away by car, Newburgh Inn sits a short five-minute stroll from golden sands and the Forvie National Nature Reserve, where a colony of seals makes its home. Golf enthusiasts will be delighted to find the historic Newburgh-on-Ythan Golf Club—one of Britain’s oldest—right on the doorstep.

Guests can enjoy complimentary WiFi throughout the property. Each room comes equipped with a flat-screen TV featuring free Sky channels and movies, an iPod docking station, and a tea and coffee tray. Every en-suite bathroom includes a shower, hairdryer, and complimentary toiletries, while the rooms also offer a work desk, a laptop safe, and fresh bed linen. A selection of pet-friendly rooms is available for those travelling with small dogs or cats.

The inn boasts a welcoming bar serving light bites, a garden with a children’s play area, and an award-winning restaurant. For business or special occasions, there’s also a dedicated meeting and events space.

Set just a nine-minute drive from Trump International Golf Links, the inn also places you within a 20-minute radius of 15 other courses. Aberdeen city centre lies 13 miles away. Couples are especially fond of the location, rating it 9.0 out of 10 for trips away for two.
