The White Heather Cafe - Highland

After visiting Smoo Cave, we stopped at this cafe for a drink. Two of us had a soda, while another had a pot of tea. The cafe is operated by an elderly woman who prepares everything in the back before bringing it out to the front. The quaint interior of the cafe gives a nostalgic feeling. The tea was served in a charming teapot and delicate china tea cup on a tray. The prices were quite reasonable and the elderly woman was very friendly.

We stopped at this restaurant for lunch during our tour of northern Scotland. The service was very poor and the food was mediocre, with the exception of the soup which had hair in it. I do not recommend this place.

During our visit to Smoo Caves, we stopped by a burger van in the cafe's carpark. The service from the very friendly lady was excellent and we enjoyed delicious burgers, hot dogs, bacon rolls, and drinks. It was a welcoming atmosphere, which was a refreshing change. We sat outside at the picnic tables and highly recommend this spot.

Great cup of tea. Very nice brownies! Probably not a lot of choice but it was outside and the door was open.

We pulled in to this cafe whilst covering the NC500 recently on our motorbikes. We were cold and needed a hot cup of tea. Stepping back into the 1970s, this cafe provided a hot cup of tea but little else. The lady running the cafe spent the whole time in another room with other people through a door marked ‘private’, and we didn’t see her once she had served us. The refreshments available consisted of a few pieces of cake and half a dozen different biscuit bars from multipacks. The tea was good however and the toilet worked.
