  “Arrived for lunch first time here, very busy and only outside tables available which was absolutely fine as it was a lovely early Autumn day. Wasn't over enamoured by the menu, but ordered the chicken supreme salad which was delicious, and coffee was of good quality. Glad we sat outside as the views were stunning. Staff appeared busy and organised. Delightful shop, made some purchases . Would come back and hope the menu would change regularly.”

  “Terrific and beyond my expectation food! Great quality and exquisite tastes. I’d love to come back here in my future trips to Scotland! The shop, the farm view, the cafe, the coffee, the staff. Perfection! For food, we got the smoked salmon toast and the daily soup.”

  “Immaculately kept, with genuinely lovely staff and a beautifully curated selection of produce. The terrace has excellent views, and we liked it enough to come back several times. It’s the kind of place where you can have a really good coffee, browse the shop and let the kids enjoy the playground without feeling rushed. It is admittedly a little polished and commercial, but it still manages to retain plenty of charm.”

  “Always a lovely place to come along to. Great food, lovely views and good shop to browse in. There's a great play park for kids and a path down to Loch Leven. Well worth a visit.”

  “Three weeks i have waited to get to a completely different place I'd never been to before and i couldnt have picked a better place for this folks, my 1000th review for google🤗This is a fabulous place for coffee and cake, restaurant dining , relaxing, Shopping....In fact, You name it. Perfectly located with lovely scenic views of Loch Leven. This spot is paradise on a weather day like today If you are visiting nearby Tarhill lavender farm, there are no refreshment facilities there so only 3 miles away is this amazing place providing everything you need.My chai latte and Cheese scone were delicious. Here's a pic peek at what you can expect Its even got its own Lavender fields. Thoroughly recommended.”

  “Second time visiting and we absolutely adore this place. They have two restaurants (cafes) within the premises, which seems to accommodate everyone even on a busy day. We’ve been both in winter and summer and the views are always breathtaking, shout out to the staff who are very welcoming and helpful. The outside seating area overlooks a field which has an extensive playground, great for the kiddos as well.”

  “The restaurant part was lovely. Nice decor, plenty of space to sit down inside and super nice waitress. The food was delicious too! Good portions and tasty. The shop is filled with beautiful decoration and local products. Great place to find souvenirs to bring back home. There are lots of nice paths around for walks after eating.”

  “I stopped at this café today while cycling with my dog and was extremely disappointed. I approached from the loch side and found a large and pleasant covered terrace but no indication as to how service was organised. There however large signs in RED CAPS saying KEEP DOGS ON LEAD Perhaps they've had a lot of problems to need to shout at customers before encountering them. Other customers said someone came out to them but with no sign of this I went in with my leashed dog, reluctantly leaving my bike alone outside. I waited just inside the door entrance, seeing a large number of staff occupied in clearing tables, etc.. I waited there but no one acknowledged me so I walked towards the coffee bar. I was swiftly intercepted by a woman whom I asked about table service. Not getting a clear reply I said I wasn't keen to leave my bike unattended outside. We'll come out to you she said - it's no dogs inside. I began to get the distinct feeling of superciliousness on one side and on the other, the wet & bedraggled client like something the cat had dragged in. Great I said. I'd just like a decaf latte, please. I was surprised when the same woman came out to me and said: “So what would you like?” "Well," I just said, perplexed at repeating my order within 2 minutes: "I'd like a decaf latte please." She said I had to pay now because I was outside: ie in case you do a runner. I said, okay but she just took the payment, turned on her heel and marched off without another word. I was shocked at this rudeness and resolved to leave as soon as possible. The coffee incidentally: £3.90 - hotel prices A man in an apron came over: “Decaf latte?” “Yes, thank you so much .” But he too turned on his heel and marched off without another word I drank my coffee in less than a minute, which was easy because it wasn't very hot and left. I think the reason I haven't been back to this place in years is because of the bad vibes & overpricing I found the first time. Curiously, yesterday a very nice lady I met on the trail mentioned that she'd just come from the same place. The service had been dreadful, the food had been poor, and it was extremely expensive. She suggested going to one of the other cafes further east instead. But it had been just the most convenient stop for me today. Still, I would wholeheartedly make the same suggestion. Or, if I wanted a break about here I'd take a thermos, avail myself of the public bench on the trail and enjoy the birds and the view from there instead!”

  “Lovely spot across from the Loch! Pretty busy but rightfully so. The baby potato, avocado open sandwich was a delight! Loved the balsamic glaze. The soup and toastie were thoroughly enjoyed too! Service was ok. Such a fab farm shop as well. Made it home with some quality nut butters and a local beer 💞💞”

  “I love places like these! I could spend hours in the shop with all the local produce and interesting items. I ended up buying a couple of condiments. The place was busy. The lady that served me at the checkout was nice enough but not particularly friendly. We then grabbed food. Unfortunately it was a 20-30 min wait in the main restaurant so we didn’t bother go there. Instead we sat in at the cafe. We had a toasted sandwich and a sausage roll which were both nice and satisfying. The sausage roll was juicy with a flakey pastry. Overall the is a great spot with a brilliant location. I’d like to come back to try the main restaurant.”
