    Fantastic place to take your kids. Staff are delightful and the whole day cost a £5 to meet the horses and have a look around. Also worth taking your toddler round the fairy forest next to the car park. My 2 year old wont stop talking about it!

    A wonderful place to visit; inspirational staff, beautiful scenery and the most gorgeous ponies and horses. Highly recommend the tour. We visited as a family all of us loved the experience :) Also the cafe is a hidden gem and well worth adding in to the trip!

    I think the visitor center is quite new so if you are going because of the horses you might be a little disappointed, we only saw a couple and those were from a distance dispite doing both the red and blue walks. That said, it's got a wonderful cafe with some spectacular walks down to the river and through the forest and the staff were all very friendly.

    We have driven past this place so many times over the years without realising what a gem of a place it is. We took the dogs for a walk and clapped the very friendly horses who run up to you as you walk by. They are so friendly you can’t help but love them all. We then went for a coffee and cake and it was great with very friendly staff who gave the dogs biscuits and water. Great views to sit and enjoy a cuppa. Loved our visit and thoroughly recommend a visit if passing.

    I drive past the Belwade Farm entrance every day but have never visited. Yesterday I put this right. The first thing to note is that from the main road it is about a mile or so up a farm track which is only wide enough for one vehicle and there aren't that many passing places. The surface is poor so be careful what sort of vehicle you use. Definitely not for a sports car. I am writing this not to be critical, it is a farm track after all, but just to warn people to take care with the type of vehicle you use if you're planning a visit. When you eventually arrive at the end of the track the car park is good. Quite large a good tarmac surface and plenty of parking spaces. A pleasant surprise after using a bumpy track. First impressions when you enter the restaurant are that it is light and airy, tables well spaced out so that you are not banging elbows with the next table. Quite good really. One wall has a viewing window overlooking an area where horses are exercised and another wall is all glass overlooking a really nice view. Two ladies serving the customers were really friendly and very helpful. Coffee was served punctually whilst my wife and I looked at the menu. We ordered two meals and this is where is all went wrong. My wife and I were the only customers at the time but the food took an absolute age to be served. God only knows how long you would have to wait if the restaurant was busy so be prepared for a wait. My wife had Scampi, Chips and Mushy Peas. The Scampi and Chips were fine but the mushy peas were a weird texture and not what we know as mushy peas. A minor moan I suppose and they just got left. I had a Brunch. A Sausage, Rasher of Bacon, Tattie Scone Scrambled Eggs, Fried Bread, Black Pudding and half a tomato. The Sausage, Bacon and Tattie Scone were rock hard and the knife wouldn't cut them. Luckily I don't mind using fingers..!! The Fried Bread was soggy and everything was tepid, barely warm, apart from the half tomato which was actually quite pleasant. A shame really. I don't like giving a bad review but Mr Google knew where I had been and requested a review. When we paid for the meal the very nice lady asked if all was OK and we said it was. We don't like to complain to the staff and they were really quite nice so we didn't want to upset anyone. I have given three stars, one for each of the two very nice ladies serving the customers and the other for a pleasant environment in the restaurant. But I'm afraid that for the kitchen it was, as our Eurovision song contest cousins say, Nil Pois, Zero Points sadly. Belwade do some fantastic work so It wasn't easy writing a less than glowing review.

👍👍 What a little gem we found in Aboyne whilst on holiday in the area. Lovely, friendly staff. Best latte and almond croissant I’ve ever had. Other food and drinks purchased were lovely too. Varied menu & options for vegan/ vegetarian visitors. I would highly recommend a visit if your passing. Perfect...

👍👍 Only had cake & coffee but both were delish. Service was excellent - friendly, cherry, helpful. Convinced me of the cake I needed 😁. How do you rate atmosphere? It was unflustered & relaxing which was what I needed after an explore by bike.
