    Travelling around the Highlands in winter, I was amazed to find that this tea room was open! Everywhere else seemed to be shut for the season. The cafe is tiny, but it has put thought into accessibility with a ramp, accessible parking spaces and an accessible toilet.

    There is ramp access to the front door which opens outwards and is not automatic. It is lightweight though which is good. Once inside, the space is a little tight but the furniture is all easy to move and the owners/people working there could not be more helpful and considerate. If you can, try to get a seat near the window because you get a lovely view over the loch. It's bright and colourful inside, and it's table service so you can sit back and relax. There is also a separate lounge room with a comfy couch and coffee table, quirky wallpaper and lights!

    Parking & Transport

    Good

    Although this car park is tiny, a large proportion of it has been designated as accessible parking which is great. The accessible parking is right beside the door to the tea room, but be aware the ground is a little gravelly in places.

    Accessible Toilets

    Again, space is limited - and you have to go through a door to reach the toilets. The ladies toilet doubles up as the accessible loo, and while it's not perfect it is a good facility. Watch out for the table with the toiletries place on it as you enter - it would be so much better if this wasn't here. There is also no emergency red cord either, so be aware of this.

    Excellent

    Such lovely people! Realised that we were passing through and gave us a map of the area plus a postcard.

    Additional Information

    The food is absolutely brilliant - I recommend the goats cheese baguette as it comes with tasty salad. The hot chocolates are not to be missed either!
