Stopped here whilst cycling around Skye, superb food and drink and very reasonable prices. And allowed me a chance to recover ready for the climb away from the loch.

Was so impressed the first time, I made sure I visited twice. The staff are cheerful and friendly, and the hot drinks are of a reasonable price and taste good. View is amazing. They've got a map inside which shows where all their visitors have come from, which is really interesting.

Wonderful little spot to stop and get a delicious meal that's not only scrumptious but healthy. Their homemade treats are to die for! My favorite was their Victoria sandwich that was Gluten-Free and didn't even taste like it was. I will definitely be visiting again this summer.
