Ariundle Centre in Highland

If I could give infinite stars I would! My partner and I were in the area with our campervan and our two cats. The nature reserve carpark is currently part of the Forestry Commission’s “stay the night” scheme. On arrival we noticed this little place advertising evening meals, it was a lovely evening so we took a walk down with the cats. There was one other person in and although they warned us of a limited menu due to no bookings we had many many options to choose from. They allowed us inside with the cats in their bags and were very friendly and welcoming.The food was outstanding! The steak and ale stew was absolute perfection and the best steak I’ve ever tasted.Hidden gem that’s well worth the visit! Staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, we never felt that we had to leave even though we were the only people in tonight. Absolutely top class!

Called in for a coffee after a walk with friends. Both dogs welcome. Coffee was excellent.

I popped in here after walking the ancient woodlands nearby. An amazing locally run establishment and even open mid winter with local produce. I was to early for dinner so had the soup which was lush. The bread was incredible and I was able to buy a loaf to take away with me. The owner was really helpful and is very knowledgeable about the local area too. If you're in the area, definitely pop in, even if just for Tea and cakes or to see the wool shop.The photos are all I had of the walk nearby, not the cafe.

Rude staff. Seemed like we put them out just by turning up. Room wasn't ready until 5pm! It wasn't clean, there was no soap or tea bags / coffee as advertised. We were cycling so we're in need of a cuppa and a good shower. We were given 1 hand towel each. Sheets old and stained, but clean. Bathroom window doesn't open which is a fire escape hazard. Food was poor. I really can't understand how other reviews are ok!! We had no option but to stay. The manager is obviously over worked. She did everything herself which is why we couldn't just go and ask for soap, tea etc. She would have been off with us. It was quirky to begin with, but when you're tired, sweaty and hungry you really just need what you booked at a reasonable time of the day.

The food was absolutely delicious each time we dined there, and the portions were very generous and reasonably priced at the same time. The manager lady was also very kind. Highly recommended for dinner!

We had dinner there a few times during our stay in Strontian and can definitely recommend it. The menu was short but the food was really delicious, and the manager really nice - we once had dinner there after showing up during a busy time without a booking and she was super accomodating.

Wonderful, peaceful, relaxing place for a cuppa and a bite to eat. Kate makes the most delicious scones and her loose leaf tea has superb flavour. We went for my birthday and it was lovely. We hope to be back soon.

We spent there two nights (in the bunkhouse) and used both the kitchen (first night) and the restaurant (second night) an everything was very very nice and enjoyable.The rooms were big and clean. The kitchen big, clean and usable. The restaurant was a very nice surprise: we were not expecting such a variety and high quality; every single dish from starter to main and dessert were excellent (I had black pudding with chutney, roasted lamb and sticky toffy pudding).I certainly have to mention also the location, which is not too far from Strontian, but already in the middle of the beautiful valley.

This place is amazing. The ladies in here are wonderful. Fantastic food the lamb was delicious and the red cabbage was to die for. The chicken breast in mushroom was awesome. Unfortunately didn't have room for dessert, but only because the portion size is more than enough.

I telephoned to enquire about a room as I struggled to finish a mammoth hike.. A lovely person answered. A room was available.On arrival my first impression was.. What a homely, cosy place.The staff so polite and friendly. The food I ordered, smoked mackerel on spinach came with a delicious chutney home made. I really enjoyed it. The views from the tea room are lovely. The vibe is welcoming and relaxing.The price of the room and food is very reasonable indeed.I strongly recommend this delightful place.
