Anta Factory Shop and Tearoom in Highland

Booked for a family group of 6 for the pottery painting . They were only expecting 3. Poor lady trying to staff the shop , cafe ( which btw now only does drinks and cake , not as advertised light lunches etc ) . Takes place at a table in what was the excellent cafe previously. Someone sent over from factory to ‘mix glaze’ . Neither she nor he had any experience of doing this. Was advertised as paint a medium mug or a beaker. Apparently no medium mugs only beakers. No instruction, no guidance left on our own to proceed . Would have left but didn’t want to disappoint the three children. No idea what colour the glazes would turn out! Got on with it …no idea what to do! no one came back to check on us and when we’d finished had to seek someone out to see how to identify ours and when would be ready. One of the party eventually found someone to find some forms online and download! Absolute fiasco from start to finish. Given the high end brand International ANTA pottery name, was really disappointed and surprised. Don’t bother with this activity, should not be advertised as they really are not set up to do this.

Coffee was pretty poor. Only 3 biscuits on offer. Worst thing was the place was FREEZING. Staff were all wearing coats and hats inside. Perhaps problem with heating? If so they should have closed! Or given coffee for free! We left early!

Fantastic shop,lovely products, and probably the best coffee and cake in Scotland!. And excellent service. Many thanks 😊

We stopped and enjoyed a beautiful cake and freshly made scone , service excellent. This is a coffee /cake stop enhancing the Anta shop rather than a traditional cafe . Other food is available depending on staff availability but coffee always available. great location and thank you to Cath in shop awesome

We were here a couple of times in August for the Anta sale. We used to really love the Anta cafe. It had great, wholesome food, lovely staff and a warm welcoming atmosphere. It was a destination in itself. But this year all had changed - it was just about hanging on for dear life. There was only a miserable offering of a few cakes, no sandwiches, quiche or soup as in the past. One person only serving. I was amazed. It seemed to be almost dead. And in this expensive home furnishings shop the toilets were a total disgrace. One was closed completely, out of action. The other one was dark with only a faulty, horrible flickering light and the toilet seat was hanging off the pan. All in all a HUGE disappointment.

Nos encanta cerámica y nos dirigimos a Anta, donde encontramos no sólo una tienda muy bien distribuido, con materiales, mobiliario en suaves pero un gran salón de té con la cerámica de Anta fabulosas con tartas caseras. Sin duda cuidar de su sitio web y si volvemos a la zona.

No es una 'fábrica' en el sentido de 'factory outlet. Se espera que algunas personas pueden tener sus esperanzas defraudadas. Estábamos en la zona y uno de nosotros pasa demasiado tiempo en la tienda de Anta en Edimburgo.Extraño 'medio no se donde, desierto sentir' desde el exterior. Una vez dentro, bastante bien presenta en sí y la amplia gama de Anta.'Tienda' de café está bien, café muy débil. Máquina de café estaba rota y tenían que recurrir a cafetieres. No tenía motivos para visitar otra vez

Anta cerámica tiene hermosas mantas, cachemir suéteres lana chaquetas, bolsas de manta, alfombras, pequeños muebles, cerámica todos los platos en un clásico sencillo, de buen gusto, estilo clásico. Y hay un pequeño salón de té sección con deliciosos pasteles, mermeladas y dulces. El personal es amable, servicial y profesional. Hay señales en la carretera por la A9 que le llevarán a la tienda de Anta. Vale la pena el viaje. Mercancías de Anta son sin duda exclusivo y de estilo escocés.

Enjoy a browse before or after a cuppa -- quality products on show in a large showroom -- home baking of a high order -- we travel a bit out of our way for a visit

Al principio siempre nos alojamos en Tain para visitar la fábrica de Anta tienda y participar de su deliciosa sopa, pasteles, ahora nos quedamos para experimentar lo mejor B&B en Escocia Weymss House.Cuando visité por primera vez, el salón de té fue una revelación, pedazos increíbles de pasteles recién hechos claramente, mientras que la tienda estaba inundado de Anta oportunidades a un precio razonable. (Aunque nunca sótano de oferta)En la última visita, el a esclavizar a los propietarios por que la naturaleza global creciente de la marca Anta se refleja ahora en oportunidades caro de compras, por ejemplo, ya no hacer final de papel o los cortes de tejido. Estará ahora, a menudo se esté preguntando " ¿cuánto? ! ".Además de la calidad de la comida ha sido tranquilamente degradantes. Las menos porciones generosas y la disposición soleada del personal que nos encontramos al principio tiene tenues algo.Anta siempre era caro y razonablemente alta calidad, ahora es más bien razonable y calidad.Así que no os parido por el "Factory" etiqueta Store.

Siempre nos visita la cerámica Anta cuando estamos en las tierras altas, como puedo recoger la cerámica. El edificio en sí es encantador, luminoso y ventilado con hermosas mesas, sillas y por supuesto cerámica. Dicho esto, el almuerzo de Labrador tortas artesanales y quesos locales - no hay suficientes tortas y los quesos eran un queso azul (lo que podría haber sido local por supuesto) y queso brie y un enorme trozo de queso cheddar que era sólo local si se lo compró desde el Spar local y redujo a la mitad. Mi fecha Loaf era muy bueno, pero la taza de té era débil. Siento decir que la impresión general es un poco estirado. Tiene dicho potencial pero me decepcionó en esta ocasión.

Tenía ganas de ir, mi compañero café y tarta mientras me levantase. La decoración es muy agradable y cómoda pero el café era débil y "finas" mientras que el pastel era el talón de el Pan y no podría haber sido cortadas más delgada con una cuchilla. Otra fue traído cuando nos señaló a la atención del asistente, pero no está a la altura, Anta, ciertamente no valía la pena el desvío.

Enjoyed our coffee stop whilst we were browsing in the shop admiring the fab stuff. Using Anta crockery sophisticated touch. Good tray bakes to enjoy with good quality coffee.

This is a lovely place to sit and have a lovely relaxing cuppa..the small cafe is situated within the shop it only has about 8 tables so it's usually nice and quiet.Although the menu is small the food is delicious and served on the lovely anta pottery..everything is homemade and the shortbread in my opinion is the best in the north(may require more researching on this tho :)). The Anta shop is lovely for a browse and if you're wealthy enough a few purchases. Wasn't sure about sharing this as maybe I want to keep my wee hideaway a secret.Enjoy!

Estuve aquí hace poco después de un descanso de 12/13 años. Vine con mi madre para un café y terminamos leña mi mano. Lo único que queríamos era una taza de café cada uno así que fuimos para el pequeño cafetiere pero ponen mucho café en polvo que cuando me empujaron a los émbolo ... agua arrojados y quemó conmigo en la mano. Lo creas o no ... también me pasó a mí hace 12 años. El único lugar en el que te quemes por cafetieres está en Anta. bonita traybake. Porque me dieron mi mano quemada, intentaron darme un reembolso. Como nos quedábamos en la casita del Anta (que ellos no sabían), que nos iban a volver esa tarde, dije que a ellos para dar bebidas gratis. Nos volvimos debidamente esa tarde con mi joven 4 pudiesen sobrina. incluso le dio algún papel para dibujar. Los lápices de color estaban rotas, así que pedimos un sharpner de lápiz. "Ah, que en la oficina y está cerrada y no tener la llave'. Mi madre y yo conseguimos las bebidas gratis. La Anta cerámica y tejidos son fabulosos - tengo algunos yo. Mi amigo tiene una casa llena completa de sus cerámicas. Pero después de haber estado en sus vacaciones cottage (aunque para un fin de semana, ya que los demás miembros de la familia lo habíamos reservado), Anta ha ido justo bajando en mis expectativas, si alguien está pensando en reservar - tome la siguiente ... armario, perchas, Hoover, cepillo, congelador, ollas, cubertería, babywipes para limpieza de discapacitados que no pueden subir la escalera de la ducha.

Have been visiting Anta for years but this was my first visit to the café. 5 of us visited for lunch - limited choice on the menu but the food is wonderful - all homemade and so so fresh and served on the glorious Anta stoneware. Only complaints are a couple of bizarre things - they have Black Isle Brewery beer 'for display purposes only' and not for sale as they are not licenced and also it is a little disconcerting and disrupting to conversation to have shoppers in the pottery stand right next to your table as they admire the displays - would have thought it better to site the shop slightly further away from the café rather than bang in the middle of it! Worth a stop if you are in the area and in search of lunch or tea and buns

Made a special trip to the Anta shop as I was last at the factory about 14 years ago. I wanted to see if it had changed as Anta have become very classy and international. It was still a large shed in the middle of no- where, but a lovely middle of no-where. There were only 6 other people there and when they departed I was on my own. So not busy. The shop had everything on display but things were very expensive. (£57 for one cushion, £60 for a seconds tea pot etc).I enjoyed a lovely lunch, a generous helping of local cheeses and home made oatcakes, all delicious. The tea room lacked a little in atmosphere as it as just me at 1.30 on a Saturday in July.After lunch I headed for the coast at Balintore and enjoyed a walk on the beach on a beautiful sunny afternoon.This place is definitely worth a visit but bring your credit cards.

We stumbled on this shop off the A9 and were surprised to step into a wonderful tea room full of home baking served on beautiful Anta pottery. Definitely worth a visit to the tea room and the shop!

Good coffee, frequent visitor to buy gifts for visitors and Chrissyfrom the seconds section. Have also spent £1000s on stair carpetswhich have lasted well, and drawn many compliments.Handy as only a 10 minute ride away.

Slighly surprised to find that anta can price a pot of coffee by the person (2) and not by the pot (1) The menu looks to be priced per pot (1) but we were charged per person (2). Still at least we weren't charged by the cup (4)And we can't imagine actually buying any of the items in the factory shop. Might suit an old-fashioned baronial hall?But everything is down to taste?

We've just bought a holiday house near Nigg and as well as loving ANTA's homeware we have really enjoyed the cafe on several occasions now. It is generally relaxed and peaceful and the food is all homemade and lovely -particularly Andrea's cheese scones! Yum! Perfect for a bowl of soup and a coffee after a walk on the beach.

Excellent small cafe within the factory shop at Anta. Excellent homemade soup with the best cheese scone ever experienced! Great traybakes and cakes with very good quality coffee. Small menu but all homemade and excellent value. Well worth a visit.
