    Slightly biased as it was the town were I was born so I was not a complete stranger to the town. Had only passed through over the past 50 years. It is a nice town, adequate shops and catering options for a short stay. There are several hotels and I imagine they have restaurants and lounge bars, the Station Hotel definitely has. There are several walks around the area - I picked up a leaflet showing these. There is a nice picnic and parking area down by the river Ythan. There is a cycling/walking path along what used to be a railway line which is ideal for getting to some local villages. The bus service from Aberdeen is perfectly adequate and there is also a park and ride scheme and retail park on the outskirts of the town. Ellon is ideally situated for visiting other towns and villages in the area. I was visiting family so did not have much change to sightsee.

    A town that has continue to grow over the years both physically and with the amount of amenities needed by locals and travellers alike. A great place to base yourself for exploring the North East of Scotland

    I flew to Ellon via Aberdeen for a funeral and did not look around Ellon. Because of the lack of flights I had to stay 2 nights at The Buchan and on the second day my room and towels and bed etc were left unattended. I got back to the hotel around 9 pm and everywhere was locked up and no staff found.

    Ellon is a lovely town on the banks of the river Ythan with an array of excellent cafes and restaurants. If you have a car it is an ideal base for exploring Aberdeenshires wonderful coastal beaches including Collieston, Cruden Bay, Newborough. There is excellent golf in the area too as well as historic castles and houses: Haddo House, Castle Fraser and Fyvie nearby.

    Ellon has a few nice wee shops, is on a river with lovely walks, the Brewdog brewery and bar are just a mile out of town, has an Aldi and a Tesco and is just 5 miles from the sea at Newburgh (gorgeous beach walks and look at seals) It is a great base for touring the area - we visited Inverurie, Portsoy (just over an hour away), Cullen and Portknockie. Also climbed Mither Tap in the Bennachie range on a glorious day. Not long to travel to Peterhead (visited the prison museum - great!) Lots of castles in the area but unable to visit due to Coronavirus. Did go to Slains near Cruden Bay though (ruin) which was fascinating. Just need to come back for the others!! Restaurants - food at the New Inn Hotel is superb. Also visited The View (appropriately named) at Newburgh. People in town all friendly and helpful. Ellon a great wee place....

    Superb apartment in the centre of Ellon, with access within 10m to the riverside path ( which also is part of the local parkrun course) Beautifully furnished. Breakfast is continental style, left in the fridge the evening before - plenty of meat, cheeses, yogurt, bread, croissant, jam , milk juice, etc. private parking is a little tricky initially as it is down a narrow lane but actually easy enough to reverse into. 20 minmute walk to Brewdog brewery, 10 minutes down the riverside path to Aldi for provisions.

    Everything was very pleasent and comfortable. We stayed In a room that was recently renovated, and it looked great and both bed and sofa were very comfortable. Shower was great - very good water pressure and a sophisticated mirror that thaws the condensation by itself and tells the time. Staff was very nice and helpful - in the hotel as well as the restaurant and bar. We had a blast at the bar. So yes, definitely will recommend to anyone.

    This was a nice little spot to stop for us between Aberdeen and Inverness and the proximity to the seal beach was wonderful! The staff were really friendly, the room was well equipped, and there was a great bathroom. Nice restaurant where we had an excellent dinner (and huge whisky selection) and delicious breakfast with great options!

    The location was perfect for me. The host was friendly and informative. Lovely big back garden, close to the beach and the seals. Close to the bus and it wasn’t too bad getting around. Very easy to get to Eberdeen. As a solo female traveller I felt safe in all Newburgh and Ellon travels.

    Very good value for money - staff excellent and the breakfast was all you could ask for - one little thing is that Room 9 is a little small and the shower needs fixing as water kept going on off on off - reported it to the hotel so hope it gets fixed otherwise no complaints

    We couldn't fault the hotel. The bedroom was first class, the location for us was perfect with the beach only a few minutes walk away. The food was excellent as was the dining area. We will definitely be using this hotel when in the area again.

    The hotel is conviently placed for exploring Ellon, very friendly staff and the food was good. Room was a bit on the small side and the bathroom was cramped but apart from that had a good stay and would definitely go back.
