Cutest shop, with the sweetest owner. Had an almond croissant and ham and cheese baguette. Both so delicious. The bread was so fresh and good quality meat and cheese. Was supposed to be for my hike, but ate it all on the drive. Thank you for your hospitality. You are amazing!

It's such a lovely place and a lovely owner. The Selkirk bannock was very tasty I also ate a cheese and ham sandwich in a french baguette. It was very good. I recommend to have a coffee stop here.

This is a review, 10 years after visiting this tearoom. It has been engraved in my memory as the most picturesque cafe / bakery / tea room I've ever visited in my life. I was surprised to see it has so few reviews. If you are ever in the Isle of Skye do yourself a favor and visit this place.
