"Perfect location for lunch, following our morning walk across the beach. The option of outside tables and chairs allowed us to enjoy the views, and watch all the many dogs being walked through the Stonehaven sea front. The cappuccinos was very good (European style) and the toasted sandwich which was accompanied by very tasty side salad was cooked to perfection. The customer service was excellent, very friendly, and welcoming atmosphere, topped off by the perfect location, I would definitely be back next time we are in town. Highly recommend."

"There is a beautiful vegan baguette: with falafel, beautiful vegan cheese, and delicious Chili jam. In principle, half of the (male) cakes are available vegan. There is usually a vegan soup. Sometimes non-vegan dishes are suitable to become vegan, so if other options run out, it is no problem. There are 4 alternative milk: oats, almond, coconut and soya. Dairy free mochas and hot chocolates available. Option of cinnamon on top of cappuccinos (instead of standard milk chocolate powder). This is definitely the best place in Stonehaven for a vegan lunch / coffee / or cake, and seems to be even better. A beautiful café interior and a beautiful service."

"We were pleased to get a last minute booking for lunch on a Saturday and on arrival were happy with their covid measures. A nice bright restuarant and we had a lovely view but that was luck as only 1 great window.Went for the lunch menu which is good value but noted for the a la carte still only 3 mains and a special which felt a little limiting perhaps just a consequence o the pandemic.Drinks arrived promptly with some bread which was a little dry.Staters we had a ham hock terrine (came with a pickled onion despite me saying did not want onions with main and not being listed) however it was pleasant and enjoyed the prune giving sweetness egg yolk dots did not offer much however. Hubby had gravalax with beetroot which was pleasant enough.For mains hubby had sea bass which was perfectly cooked but my rolled pork shoulder was a little disappointing (this time served with a charred spring onion despite the no onion request). It was a bit chewy and not enough of the fat either cooked off or removed. The polenta lacked the advertised parmesan flavour but was very crispy and the confit carrot tasty.Desserts we had the rice pudding which was yummy with cinnamon and apple but whilst the banana cake was tasty and moist it was fridge cold when warm would have been so much better. The chocolate sorbet served on the side was nice enough but not as expected as it was light suggesting perhaps a milk or drinking chocolate when I expected something darker anyway for those who remember tasted a bit like a mini milk lolly!Fudge with coffee seemed wrong in Scotalnd we prefer tablet but there you go. Last gripe was £4.20 for a double espresso seemed steep compared to other charges.Overall it was ok but little tweaks could make significant difference.Now one thing they can do nothing about but worth knowing and please take care is how uneven the steps were. We were lucky it was a dry day and I'm only 48 but they really felt worrying."

"The room was overpriced for what it offered. It was small and had a compact double bed. The bathroom in our room was outdated, and the wallpaper was held down in the corners with nails. To my surprise, there was no soap or handwash available. The bar and restaurant were crowded due to a football match, which was a bit frustrating because we were seated in a small booth with groups standing around us while we ate, and they kept placing their glasses on our table. The food was enjoyable, and the staff were excellent; however, the room rates felt high considering the quality and condition of the accommodations."

"Spent the afternoon Puffin spotting at Fowlsheugh. My daughter raves about The Bay, and how it’s the best chippie ever. Was really looking forward to trying it out. Stood in what we thought was the queue, only to discover it was the queue for the ice cream shop next door. Signage not very clear. Went to to the window to order, only to be told as others have said, you can only order online!!! Checked the App to discover we would have to wait an hour. It’s not clear on the App the you HAVE to order online. Really disappointing experience. So ended up going elsewhere."
