"I always enjoy visiting for lunch or coffee, and their berries are the best I've ever had! The service is consistently excellent, and the quality of the products is outstanding. Be sure to make a reservation for lunch in advance, as it can get really busy and you might not find a spot otherwise!"

"I recently discovered the Redgarth, a fantastic restaurant run by Stuart and his team. From the moment you arrive, Stuart ensures that your experience is top-notch. The Cherry room I stayed in was immaculately clean and had great amenities, including a "loo with a view," a luxurious shower and bathroom, a comfortable bed, and daily housekeeping. The continental breakfast was delicious and the evening atmosphere in the bar was pleasant. I highly recommend this place for anyone in the area - 5 stars to Stuart and his team!"

"Dining is at present in the new Ballroom due to the Pineapple restaurant closure for Covid 19 restrictions. This in no way detracts from the dining pleasure. Tables are well spaced out. The staff are plentiful, polite and extremely helpful. Food as usual was excellent. Altogether a fabulous dining experience. We had booked to return but sadly Covid 19 forces closure I can easily recommend booking."

"We stopped here for coffee late on a Sunday morning. We hadn’t booked and the cafe was busy, but were offered a table at the far end of the seating area. Once seated we realised this was going to be very noisy (there was a large party enjoying brunch right next to us so the very helpful waitress offered to move us to the sofas near the door. This was perfect, much quieter and altogether more comfortable. Our coffees were very good, my request for hot milk produced a big jug of it many cafes give only a thimbleful. The scones were amazing, some of the best I’ve had for years absolutely delicious, enormous, served warm with the farm’s own excellent jam. We had the special, raspberry, white chocolate and granola. (Plain and cheese were also available. The bill was significantly lower than several places we have visited recently. About £11.50 we’ve been charged £15 and even, once, almost £20 for 2 coffees and scones in Aberdeenshire over the past year. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely plan to return as soon as possible."

"We have used this restaurant for the last 5 years and up until recently have been very happy. last week we placed a sizeable order (over £50) and after practically having to guide the driver, turn by turn, we recieved our order over an hour after the eta, given to us by the restaurant. The food was cold, and 2 of the meals were inedible due to the quality and state of them. The standard of all meals were sub par and we were very disappointed. We called to highlight the problems immediately and were informed that they were using a taxi that evening, as their usual driver was acting as a chef in their kitchen. We were told someone would call us back to discuss either that evening or the following day. Nobody called. We left it 4 days and called back and were told that they were closed and it was not a convenient time to discuss, but were told someone would call tomorrow guess what.... nobody called. So we called again this evening. The person my wife spoke to was completely unapologetic, spoke over the top of her and refused to accept any responsibility. We did not go looking for free stuff, we simply wanted to offer a restaurant we had used for years an opportunity to make things right. Instead we were met with excuses, hostility and the feeling of being let down."
