Popped in for an unplanned lunch whilst driving by, what an unexpected treat! Very unique setting around a full size snooker table, surrounded by a lovely collection of curiosities. The service was perfect and lunch delicious. We had the soup and some smoked mackerel pate with oatcakes, well worth a visit!

Very few places to eat and drink around Gairloch this time of year. Stopped here for late lunch after a trip to Melon Udrigle Beach. Soup, scones, toasties and brownie all very tasty. Small gripe, had to order at the bar through the plastic screen hatch before we sat down. Everything gets brought to the table so I couldn't see why an order couldn't be taken there to save a discussion about what we were all ordering having just walked in the door - felt bit odd. All good therwise x

Very nice little cafe with a warm and friendly young lady behing the bar. Wonderful coffee and scone with homemade jam- (rhubarb and ginger for me). My wife had the raspberry and coconut slice which she highly recommends. A nice setting in what must have been an old pub. Huge billiards table in the middle used for local maps and tourist info. Does mean seating is limited which would be an issue on busier days. Didn't ruin the experience for us.

Having just left Pool house and still in signal ! I simply had to say this last 2 hours have been the highlight so far of our NC500 adventure. If you are lucky enough to have time in Poolewe IV22 2LD the Mary Queen of Scots Exhibition will leave you breathless and amazed . We were lucky enough to meet a gentleman who was able to add so much more to the sad story of Mary and her tragic life . Thank you kind Sir for your time . Oh I must not forget the and hospitality of the tearoom ladies and quality of the food coming from the kitchen . Thank you so much Julie xx
