Have visited the black faced sheep many many times and am never disappointed. The service is impeccable and the staff are a wonderful team. The food is always superb and the atmosphere relaxing and calm. It is by far the best coffe house, lunch and afternoon stop to make. Food is cooked to order and cakes are the best ever.... More

Unlike the person below I would have to totally disagree with the rude comment. I have been going for years and never had a bad experience. The lunches are lovely and beautifully served, followed by gorgeous cakes, which are baked on premises. The coffee is to the best standard I've ever had in Scotland and all the staff are attentive,... More

We've been to this tea room a few times now, but this will definitely be the last. On each occasion the food took ages to arrive, we ordered bruschetta with goats cheese, which turned out to be a soggy roll with sliced tomato on top - not much imagination. Also ordered garlic bread with cheese, and just a dry roll... More

Second visit to this delightful little cafe / restaurant. Extremely friendly staff and well attended by locals and visitors from further afield alike. We arrived about 1230 and easily found a seat but soon most tables were taken. Having previously been we ordered the plate of salmon and bread which is a simple, delightfully presented and delicious dish. You must... More

This is an amazing tea shop, especially for those climbing around the hills nearby. The main highlight is the cakes - there are multiple varieties and are made in the shop. You can even order whole cakes to go. The service is good, although it can be busy. There is a small shop upfront selling assorted items. Highly recommended for... More
