We had a wonderful evening sitting by the log burner eating the crab pasta (house special) surrounded by local artwork. Friendly and helpful service. We picked this place because it seemed the best in town for vegetarians (and vegans), but we were seduced by the sea food in the end!!

Stopped in here on the way back from Aviemore as our son loves trains. Lovely dining car which does very nice fresh cakes and coffees and also lunch with homemade pizza. We just had coffee and cake but the pizzas looked delicious. They also have a nice shop with lovely keepsakes and a miniature railway which our kids loved! The staff also couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. A very nice little stop. Toilets were also very clean and on the whole the place was very clean.

Had a great Christmas lunch here and the centre is looking splendid after its post-fire refurb. The staff are always very helpful and the shop has some very tempting treats. They also cater well for gluten free diets, including several varieties of gluten free clootie dumpling. We were actually a family of adults (4) not teens.
