The White Cottage - Aberdeenshire

This restaurant is overpriced with poor service and unpleasant atmosphere. The waiter seemed inexperienced and unprofessional. I would recommend avoiding this place.

The host was very welcoming, the ambiance was lovely, and the fish and chips were the best in the area. The setting was very comfortable and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Thank you.

This is truly the best fish and chips I have ever had! The chips are double fried and the fish is incredibly tasty with a wonderfully crispy batter. What a great discovery! There are also other delicious options to choose from on the menu.

What an absolute gem of a place this is. Discovered it today on the way back from Aboyne and so glad we stopped in for coffee. Sitting by the open fire with the papers after browsing the eclectic mix of antiques and gifts, we decided to have a light lunch. The leek soup was excellent; hot, creamy and delicious. The cafetière coffee was dark, strong, perfect. I couldn't resist a pistachio ice-cream on the way out, very pleased to find it was better than anything I tried in Amalfi last month. This place is definitely going to be a regular spot for us...

On arrival I entered the shop and was greeted by a somewhat dull individual with an out of town accent. I placed my order for 3 F&C and 1 Chips which I then paid £28 for.....In addition I asked for 4 cans of Coke...another £6 £1:50 each.... I went outside and sat down with my friends waiting on our food. To my amazement the guy came out looking for more money as he maintained he calculated incorrectly.... i questioned it but didn 't argue...we had been Munro bagging so we 're tired and hungry so I paid the £4 he asked for ...I then asked him for some salt and vinegar and ketchup x 2 which he tried to charge me £1:50 each for and when I politely outlined my dismay at how he had made a complete mess of things as it were he then wanted to charge me £3 for 2 ketchup bowls I was shocked. His attitude then changed for the worst as he raised his voice telling us he didn 't set the prices and if we didn 't like it then we could go elsewhere.... when we said we wouldn 't be back he snidely remarked he couldn 't care less as he had loads of passing customers....to top it off the chips were hard like they had been cooked and reheated a couple of times, the fish was dripping with grease and was tasteless too...overall a dreadful place, with dreadful food and dreadful service all the while extortionate prices....stay away from this rip off merchant
