Dining & Local Sourcing
The hotel's restaurant serves a seasonal menu that draws on local ingredients, with a dessert invented here-the Udny Arms pudding-that later spread across Scotland. Breakfast is cooked to order and includes à la carte, full English/Irish, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. The bar area offers a strong community atmosphere, where guests can sample local gins and discuss travel plans with the owners.
Accommodations & Comforts
Each of the 12 rooms has a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, and tea and coffee maker, with super-king beds in some doubles. On arrival, guests find homemade cookies from a local bakery and Highland Soap Company toiletries. Discovery Maps of the Aberdeenshire area are placed in rooms to help plan walks and visits to nearby attractions.

The hotel is 800 metres from Newburgh on Ythan Golf Club and a 15-minute walk to Newburgh Seal Beach, where seals gather seasonally. Tolquhon Castle is a short drive away, and Aberdeen Airport is 22 km. Free private parking is available on-site, and the owners share local history knowledge to enrich guests' explorations.
Pet-Friendly & Community Atmosphere
The hotel welcomes pets, providing dog biscuits in rooms and a pet-friendly policy throughout. The bar area fosters a community atmosphere, with regular gatherings and attentive staff. Owners respond directly to guest feedback, making improvements such as adding bedside lamps based on reviews.
