Popped in to ask a few. Questions as we are looking for accommodation after completion of the Fife Coastal Path, sadly due to Covid-19 they aren't taking bookings, but hopefully soon they will. The pub is your traditional style, warm and cosy, has all the precautions in place for covid-19, and of course the owners are very friendly and polite. Highly recommended for a pint at the end of a walk or just passing through.

I stayed here for four nights. Room was good a nice size and a comfortable bed. Breakfasts were fine. David and John were excellent hosts . The Inn is a good old fashioned pub, good drink and really friendly folk in Newburgh. Brilliant beer garden at the back if warm enough. Newburgh was great for me as it allowed me to meet friends and family, bike around the area and visit the Lindores Abbey Distillery for one of their special celebrations. The Inn is also in the Fife Coastal path
