My friends and I stayed for one night and were happy with our stay. It’s a small, local inn and despite our 3 person room being above the pub, it was very quiet.  …

Terrible experience.Next to the pub. It s supposed to be a hotel.Impossible to sleep. They didn t said that there was a karaoke night, and when we arrived they told that it was until 11pm... Still midnight and there's a karaoke.Honestly, huge disappointment. It could have been a nice stay, but the "hotel" ruined it.

[Review is for the bar / restaurant]||Recommended by my B&B host to pop in if I wanted a pint and some simple but good quality pub food. And also that as this was a Wednesday, there was a £10 pint & burger special. …

Great small hotel, rooms were really cosy and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Lewis was a very gracious host and it's great to see a family run business doing well these days. Will definitely be returning for another stay!

Lovely clean room, everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Very quiet when we were here, perfect for exploring St Andrews. We could park right outside too. The historical beach nearby was stunning and award winning too! …

Great dinner here.We came here with friends for dinner and a couple of beers and to watch the rugby. The prices were good by local standards and the food was delicious. The Korean Chicken was especially incredible. My wife ordered this but she kindly let me eat some of it. Actually we all sort of wished we’d ordered that.The staff were very friendly and helpful and always on hand even though the place was packed out. Will definitely come again and would highly recommend.

Our lunch at The New Inn was delightful! The mushroom toast, tomato soup, Korean fried chicken, and beef pie were all incredibly delicious. Watching the chefs prepare our meals added to the experience. The food arrived piping hot and freshly made, which was perfect for the windy day. It seems that many inns in Scotland boast small restaurants with talented chefs, and The New Inn is certainly another gem for those seeking delicious home-style cooking.
