A Historic Coastal Haven
The Seafield Arms stands as a welcoming landmark in the quiet village of Whitehills, perched near the rugged Aberdeenshire coastline. This traditional Scottish hotel has earned its reputation as a reliable base for visitors exploring the Moray Firth region, offering genuine Highland hospitality in a setting that blends period character with contemporary comfort. The property's location on Chapel Street places it at the heart of the village, within easy reach of both coastal walks and the broader attractions of northeast Scotland.

The hotel provides a range of well-appointed guest rooms designed for both leisure and business travelers. Accommodations include standard rooms and larger apartment-style suites featuring multiple bedrooms, making them suitable for families or small groups. Rooms are maintained to high standards of cleanliness and come equipped with modern essentials including televisions, quality bedding, and en-suite bathrooms. The apartment options offer additional living space with separate sitting areas, providing guests with flexibility and comfort during extended stays.

The on-site restaurant serves traditional British cuisine with an emphasis on quality ingredients and generous portions. A full Scottish breakfast is included with overnight stays, setting guests up for a day of exploration. The bar provides a relaxed atmosphere for evening drinks and socializing, with locals and visitors mingling in the convivial setting. The kitchen's commitment to fresh, well-prepared food has become a defining feature of the property, with particular praise for both the quality and variety of offerings.

Gateway to Coastal Exploration

The village itself offers a quieter alternative to larger towns, with direct access to coastal paths, fishing villages, and the broader Aberdeenshire countryside. Nearby Banff and Macduff provide additional amenities and attractions, while the hotel's central location makes day trips to Speyside distilleries, historic castles, and scenic coastal drives entirely feasible.
