Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We found this absolute gem of an establishment on a wee walk around Stonehaven We were very much welcomed by the lovely staff and quickly found a table We were a group of three friends and we all had the chicken curry ( just so...tasty) followed by beautiful coffee and scrumptious homemade cakes . Served by very polite and friendly staff who we enjoyed friendly banter with and gave us some local knowledge. We would all throughly recommend this lovely wee gem and will return.More

Visited for lunch with my daughter. This was the first time that I had visited The Villa however had visited many times previously when it was Arbuthnot coffee shop. I had the stovies and my daughter had the bacon, brie and cranberry panini. Although we...were both full we made room for a victoria sponge and mandarin cheesecake! All the food was delicious and service was friendly and efficient too. Certainly would recommend a visitMore

Doesn't look much from outside, but I had done my research and found it was dog-friendly, so we headed there for a bit of lunch. Inside the place was warm & welcoming, we were greeted with a smile and a table was available within a...few minutes. The service was lovely, and the lunch of baked potatoes was fab. We were too full up to have coffee & cake and, sadly, we ran out of time in our holiday to return. If you holiday in Stonehaven, would recommend you pop in for coffee, cake or lunch, you will not be disappointed 10/10More

What a lovely wee restaurant! Went with my mother in law for a wee spot of lunch - delicious soup with the softest bread and a very good cup of tea. Cakes looked very tempting and the menu was varied. The staff are friendly and...welcoming. Will definitely make this a regular place to visit when I am in Stonehaven.More

Lovely little restaurant tucked away in Stonehaven. The lunch was great and the service very friendly. The baked goods were wonderful. It was a pretty little dining room and felt very cosy.

My wife and I were travelling up North, feeling hungry as it headed to lunch time. We phoned ahead to book a table in case of a lunchtime rush. The table was kept for us. We had a beautiful light lunch. Paninis for both of...us. Cheese and ham, which my wife enjoyed, for myself, haggis, and cheese, which was wonderful. Staff were friendly and efficient. Nice, cosy atmosphere, and good prices. Would recommend to anyone if you're hungry pop in and enjoy The Villa Coffe Shops menu. Will be back next time we pass. Mr & Mrs MacDonaldMore

This is so friendly, lovely tasty freshly prepared food, spotless kitchen and toilet facilities. We were so lucky to find this little gem on our way to Dunnottar Castle. We arrived at 12.00 thankfully early enough to be guided to table, soon after no table...were available. We had hoped to return for Tea and some delicious cake after our walk, but last orders are 3.30pm. Lovely excuse to come again now we have found such a lovely place.More
