We visited this Cafe after a long walk in the forest. Dogs are welcome inside the cafe. Inside there is a log burning stove, which was very welcome, the cafe had a nice rustic feel they do there own baking and my wife described the scone as the best she had. The coffee was lovely. We had visited the Cafe at the Cheese makers across the road which was very nice but had to sit outside with the dog. We will certainly be back here, probably for a lunch next time.

Popped in after cycling in Ballater. Lovely outdoor garden. Coffee was nice, cake was moist and tasty. Service great, friendly waitress :) If I'm up that way again I'll be sure to visit again.

The Courie Courie bakery makes the best sourdough bread ever. There is an excellent choice of pastries and savoury pies. Organic products, candles and gifts are also on offer. The staff are friendly and the delightful garden/tea room. Dogs are very much welcome here.

The new arrangement now has a lovely vibe when fully staffed and OPEN. Possibility of a great business here for casual outdoor/indoor lunches and snacks but very inconsistent in terms of staffing and availability. When fully staffed the front of house are friendly but a definite problem with understaffing which may be due to sick leave or spreading their staffing too thin on the ground.

My partner and me were driving past on our way to Balmoral Cairns and wanted to stop for something to eat and a coffee before walking. We just happened to see this on the map so decided to stop and we were not disappointed!!! We both had the cheese and salami toastie, mine with side salad and it was probably one of the best toasties we have had. The bread was fabulous and the coffee delicious too. The cafe itself looks lovely and has a lovely outdoor bit for sitting outside in the sun. We will definitely be back if we are ever passing by again and 100% recommend. 😁

Stopped in for lunch after walking forest trails. Possibly the best mushroom soup we have ever tasted. Very tasty sandwich on sourdough and the scone was lovely too. Pleasant outdoor sweating area and very nice staff. would definitely recommend.

Courie Courie have the best soda bread rolls filled with delicious Brie with onion chutney. Make sure you have the coffee cake and enjoy an Americano coffee. In these Covid days it’s mainly take out but if the weather is fine (or you’re hardy) you can sit outside in the garden. The couple who run this little bakery are very friendly and helpful. Can’t go wrong here. We are regulars and just can’t pass with going in.

Stopped in past for a quick lunch after a cycle at Cambus o May forest trails. We had 2 different flavoured soups and all agreed they were excellent. Look forward to returning very soon and would highly recommend a visit.

We were amazed that this place has such spectacular food. The soup was amazing and the cheese scones were the best ever. We brought bread home and have also loved that. No doubt we will be back again tomorrow. It is a bit out of the way but well worth the trek, or drive from Ballater.

We remembered this lovely wee place from our last time in Ballater. It’s conveniently situated about 3.5 miles along the Deeside cycle path which runs from Ballater along the old railway line. Having looked them up online it appeared they would be open 10 till 3 from Wed to Sun so we set off on that basis. We were lucky again on this occasion as the sun was shining and we got a table in the garden under the shade of a tree with no waiting. Plenty of room for the dogs who seemed welcome. Lots of thought has gone into the way the food comes to the table (recyclable cardboard plates and mini boxes for the baking) and the staff all wearing masks and gloves. Menu was lovely and who can resist a sourdough roll made that morning?? Great salad and we loved the unusual “twist of seeds” to garnish. Idyllic little interlude - thank you!

Une cuisine innovante et originale, une très bonne ambiance. Il est préférable de réserver une table. Surtout essayer le haggis revisité, je ne me souvient pas du nom du plat mais sous forme de croquettes avec une émulsion de pomme de terre ! Incroyablement bon... Les autres plats aussi sont excellents.

Really nice hotel. Room was huge, loads of storage. Nice touch with a jar of sweets and chocolate, that got replenished. The staff were really friendly. The bar staff were knowledgeable about the drinks on offer. The food was really good.

Waitress greeted us as if we'd trailed in dog dirt on our shoes. 'Sit anywhere' face of thunder demanded with a dismissive flick of her wrist. Then off she thumped through the swing doors to the kitchen. 'That's anither two in' she barked. That was when we decided to depart. Avoid this place, the welcome is atrocious.
