The Buchan Hotel
Family owned and managed, The Buchan Hotel and Restaurant in Ellon offers the best in traditional Scottish hospitality. Located in the picturesque town of Ellon, we're close to the River Ythan, with its famous estuary and excellent fishing beats. Breakfast, morning coffees, lunch, and evening meals are served daily. Relax in our public bar where the atmosphere is both warm and friendly. Catch up with local stories from some of our regulars who are always willing to extend a good Scottish welcome.
Services
There are twenty five beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with en suite facilities, free Wi-Fi, tea making facilities and television. All rooms are non-smoking and many of them have views of the river Ythan and the surrounding countryside. For our dinner and bar meals, our chefs choose the finest quality local produce to create menus with a distinct Scottish character and flavour.
The Buchan Hotel restaurant has a bright and airy atmosphere in which you can enjoy a varied selection of menu featuring a combination of continental dishes and traditional Scottish fayre. Our menu offers something to suit everyone, including a selection of vegetarian dishes, lighter and healthier options and a selection of daily specials.
Ellon is at the centre of a rich agricultural area and enjoys the benefits oil and gas have brought to the North East. To its own rich history is added that of the surrounding countryside. This is castle country, dotted with countless National Trust and Historic Scotland properties. The town is close to magnificent stretches of beach and dunes and the perfect base from which to visit traditional villages along the coast.
Located in Ellon, the Buchan Hotel is just a fifteen-minute drive from Aberdeen; Ellon has an excellent bus service operating up to twice an hour to and from the city, starting early morning running until late at night. We're ideally placed for business travellers to the area, fishing trips on the River Ythan, golfers playing Trump International Links, Cruden Bay or many of the other wonderful courses in the area.

Wonderful evening with excellent service, as we were the only ones all evening, what a shame for staff and owner. Had a wonderful choice from either the Christmas menu or normal menu. I had 2 courses and they were both lovely and plentiful. Finished with tea and toffee (tablet), yummy 👍🎅

Great place to stay, rooms are clean and cosy. Public bar is full of friendly locals. The curry club over the road was fun. Food in the hotel restaurant was exceptional.

They were very accommodating with our group considering our numbers and when one of the group left articles behind they phoned us when we'd left for Aberdeen. Top notch

Stayed here for work for a couple weeks. The place is quite nice and the food isn't bad. The WiFi is terrible. Also you have to order a steak rare if you want anything other than total incineration.
