Blair Atholl Watermill in Perth & Kinross

This is a fabulous family-run tea room. Delicious food, a fabulous location with a working water mill, and friendly staff. We loved our lunch and bought amazing sourdough bread and shortbread to enjoy later in the day! Thank you. It's definitely worth visiting.

Fantastic little eatery in Blair Atholl. Had lunch with family today. Soup, toasties and rolls excellent and enjoyed by everyone. Definitely recommend a visit and will return soon!

Asked for warmed scone. Machine not switched on. Scone just out the oven. Scone stone cold. Just be honest. We do not warm scones. Trite comments do not make for trite customer service.

Stopped on our way north for an early toasty lunch. Fabulous food and coffee. Picked up a loaf to go. Love that the mill is operating and they bake with their own flour. Been here 4 times - always great!

Lovely location, both inside and out. Bread is delicious and worth taking away a loaf or two. Staff busy but friendly. Cafe food came quickly despite a queue ; but overpriced, A ham roll, buttered on one side and a decent slice of ham £5.50. A small bowl of veg soup, two basic rolls and 2 hot drinks, £23. £16 would have been good value, £18 tops, I appreciate there were lots of staff and other costs, but easy to add to the offer at minimal costs. Would return for a loaf, but go elsewhere to eat.

We had been advised that the Watermill was a good place to stop for a lunch or coffee and cake. There was plenty parking and we saw the outside seating area for people with dogs or just eating outside. Inside was fairly small but we were lucky to get a table. There were plenty on the menu to choose from and also specials on a large board. We ordered filled croissants and toasties which came with side salad and crisps ( sadly they were out of crisps but they were deducted from the price) Coffee was lovely. Staff were friendly and we could see flour, oatmeal and muesli for sale as it’s a working mill. I would recommend this lovely cafe as a great stop in the lovely village of Blair Atholl.

Good and interesting stop for coffee and cake. Home made cakes, excellent coffee. Very pleasant staff, clean loos, interesting to walk around the still working mill. Bought muesli to take home for us and for presents

This is a beautiful and interesting place. The menu and the food are excellent and the service is both friendly and efficient. It is good to see so many local ingredients and, of course all that are made with their own flour. It's just a pity the Watermill doesn't open all year.

Stopped off for an impromptu visit. Helpful staff. Carrot cake could have done with some sultanas and fruit scone had wholemeal flour which may not be to everyone’s liking. However very pleasant and enjoyable.

Delightful lunch, charming location. We elected for the toasties, mine bacon, Brie with onion marmalade. My companion enjoyed toasted with goat’s cheese, onion, salad and crisps. Perfect lunch for a sunny Scottish day!

cafe was very busy, good coffee and had the best ever danish pastry , ever. Crispy, not too sweet with fresh fruit.

A cool place for a quick lunch: well organised, with enough space for all, nice staff, and good dishes for its category. Basic but good.

Stopped for light lunch. Really busy but managed table. Really tasty lentil vegetable with homemade bread and nice slice of very light carrot cake. Bought a packet of their own delux muesli and looks delicious . Full of nuts and fruit and cannot wait to try.

We stopped on our way to holiday for an early lunch. In retrospect we were lucky we were early or would have struggled to get a table. I had a smoked salmon platter that was absolutely delicious. Generous portion of salmon and cream cheese and beautiful bread (butter would have been nice). The coffee was good although I was not impressed with the cake. A lovely spot and a welcome break. The chap that served us was friendly and would happily return if we were in the area.

No water for the water mill, disappointing, but not their fault. Consequently no self produced flour. Most disappointing, scones with WIPPED cream. What a disgrace of British tradition.

A good selection of savoury snacks and cake tees and coffee reasonably priced and well served by staff The water wheel is sadly out of service due low water levels

Quirky and full of atmosphere plus great food and good coffee, too. Had the salmon platter and it was enormous but very good quality. They sell nice bread as well.

Really accommodating & helpful staff. Honest homemade hearty food and good value! The homemade soup was lovely & the carrot cake! The BLT was in they’re own bread too. We bought some bread to take home. Recommend and return.

Picked up a take away while staying at Parc Royale caravan site. Cheese scones, fruit scone and vegetable, lentil soup delicious. Staff also very friendly and smiley which is always nice.

Dropped in here for lunch with my wife. The restaurant is based in an old water mill, which is really neat. The food was tasty and the service was first class. I would certainly come back here again, and recommend it.

Fabulous food, freshly prepared with quality ingredients. Lovely little place with friendly, helpful staff.

We decided to come here for a breakfast one morning on holiday. The baked goods are all made with flour from the water mill so it's a bit special and the price reflects this. We were able to explore the different levels of the working water mill too.

Small little cozy local café, with its own watermill. Good for a quick lunch, with quality ingredients. The bread was very nice, their toasties will settle your hunger. They also have good cakes, if u are looking for something sweet with a coffee.

Visited here a few times for my morning coffee whilst staying at the local campsite. They also sell rolls, bread and pastries that have all been freshly baked on site. Staff very polite and friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

We saw this on the way to Blair castle; the food offering at Blair castle looks good, and is reasonably priced, but we thought we would spread our pennies in the local area by eating here instead. We found this a crackingly good little place,...

Tasty food of filled rolls and croissants; lovely tray bakes. It is popular. All seating is currently outside.

Was recommended to stop here on journey up north and it was a great shout. Lovely little cafe situated in an old Watermill. Everything clearly handmade and fresh. Picked up a loaf for the road. Lovely friendly staff really nice to see it so busy.

We've popped in here many times and never disappointed whether it's tea and scone, lunch or coffee and cake. The homemade bread for sale is also some of the best we've had. Visited on Monday and had coffee and delicious carrot cake.

These guys looked after us very well with teas coffees and eats before we set off on a charity cycle ride for Maggie’s. There were more than 40 of us but they wouldn’t take a penny from us! Outstanding gesture - lovely people! 😃

Lovely cuppa and cake. Cracking Victoria sponge. Nice place to sit and enjoy a pot of tea, plus you can buy their own shortbread.

Brilliant little cafe to visit whilst we were on holiday. Sat outside in the lovely garden having our lunch. The food was lovely and staff were friendly.

Been here few years ago and it was lovely. Very disappointed today. A mill with no bread! Very limited menu and no atmosphere. What's happened!

Despite the lingering covid restrictions the service was great, well thought out, extremely fast, no fuss at all. Plenty of outdoor seating, great soups, carrot cake, chocolate sponge. Have visited before, wasn't disappointed this time round either, will go again.

As we are staying in the are we thought we would visit here for some afternoon cake and coffee. It’s a pleasant little place with friendly staff. We opted to sit outside. We order two pieces of cake, a biscuit and a crispy cake, 3...

We found this place by accident on a trip out 😙what a brilliant friendly service, loverly coffee and hot drinks and even lovelier sweet treats 👏🏼👅. I also had the fried egg sandwiches, soft brown seeded topped bread tastes like it is freshly baked. Happy...

Great pitstop just off the A9, lovely menu, delicious homemade cakes and breads. Friendly and well trained staff. Outdoor and some indoor seating. Will call again

Lovely soup and lunch! We popped in as we were staying close by. There is a large car park right next to the mill. We ordered at the cafe and sat outside at a covered table. Due to covid, our meals were bagged up and...

Was advised by my neighbour to pop in for a bacon roll and sample there bread which he was right beautiful setting great roll fantastic croissant could do with better coffee execution hence the 4 star but altogether great Thankyou

Due to Covid restrictions this is operating as a carry out but they have a nice garden area where you can sit. We were walking again in Glen Tilt area of Atholl Estate and called in for snack lunch. Lovely soup and cheese scone. Absolutely delicious moist carrot carrot cake to follow. Must say one of nicest carrot cakes we have ever tasted! We will be back again but hopefully more normal service.

Well worth taking a slight detour (into Blair Atholl) off the beaten track on the way north. Peaceful atmosphere, lovely food and about 1/3rd the price of the infamous H of B a mile or two further up the A9

We were more than disappointed with this establishment. Having opted to eat outside, we ordered our food and was asked to take a seat to await my order. Shocked! I received two paper cups and a paper carrier bag which I proceeded to carry outside to our very wobbly bench. On opening the bag we were met with a not golden brown but burnt filled croissant. On the plus side my scone was ok and coffee tasted fine.

I'd recomment this little place for a stop for lunch. It's in a quiet spot but you'll love the views.

Wheelchair access carpark bay, but no access. There is a wooden platform that could be easily adapted. Non friendly service to come outside to offer any service to a wheelchair user and lady with limited mobility. You have to go inside to order, which is unpractical if you can not get inside. They is benches outside but no offer of service to this. We were also hoping to buy bagels/ bread. It’s a historic building but they need to make provision for service to ALL people, this requires then to find creative solutions, like a staff member coming outside with a menu and list of item they sell. Taking the ordered and payment in the covered outdoor area. Also providing information board about the building outside. Lastly the wheelchair bay is shared with cycle racks, that’s very redefines stupid. Definitely not recommend.

Found this hidden gem last year. Have visited many times. Freshly baked bread, scones, croissants, soup, sandwiches and snacks all superb. What’s not to like? Would highly recommend it. It’s a great stop in a lovely village.

Very friendly staff, welcomed whilst still outside looking at the menu. Very helpful description of covid friendly process outside so you know what to do. Staff very welcoming and we were able to get a spot inside. The filled roll was delicious but slightly pricey and the coffee wasn’t that great but the setting and covid compliance would mean I would stop off again when on the road north. Toilet was clean but not a fan of a shared facility but keeping it clean is really best compromise.

No basado en comida / bebida ya que no nos quedamos. Vine aquí especialmente para almorzar mientras se hospedaba en Pitlochry y esperaba para registrarse en nuestro hotel. Elija aquí debido a las críticas en su mayoría excelentes en Tripadvisor. Entorno encantador pero decepcionado de que los asientos solo estuvieran afuera o en una carpa de aspecto lúgubre. Solo descubrí esto después de hacer cola durante 10 minutos. Luego vi que los baños estaban cerrados y los más cercanos estaban a 10 minutos a pie (los públicos en el pueblo que estaban bastante sucios). Así que al final nos fuimos porque necesitábamos ir al baño después de un largo viaje en coche. Ahora me doy cuenta de que su propio sitio web dice que es un menú para llevar, pero nada que pueda ver sobre los baños cerrados. Sé y estoy de acuerdo que todos tenemos que tener cuidado con el covid, pero a veces me cuesta entender por qué algunos establecimientos de comida deciden que esto significa que pueden cerrar los inodoros y hacer que comamos en vasos y bolsas de papel cuando muchos otros se las arreglan tan bien para hacer la experiencia. tan cerca de lo normal como sea posible.

Very rude member of staff serving. Have had better coffee from a vending machine. Don't bother stopping here, drive on for a Scottish welcome elsewhere. Am embarrassed that visitors would experience this service.

Hemos visitado el Molino de Agua muchas veces a lo largo de los años, y lo visitamos hoy preguntándonos si funcionarían las restricciones de Covid; qué excelente trabajo han hecho al organizar el espacio para que se sienta cálido y acogedor, con el servicio rápido y amigable habitual, y una experiencia realmente tentadora. y menú variado, aunque reducido. Tremendamente impresionado por la organización imaginativa del espacio y los recursos para asegurarse de que los visitantes sigan teniendo una experiencia totalmente agradable. ¡Gracias por un delicioso almuerzo!

So good we visited three times during our stay in the area. Great lunches, decent coffee, a lovely set up, delicious cakes and of course their own bread using flour milled on site. Go!

Hoy almorzamos en el jardín (bollos de sopa y queso, seguido de café y pastel) y fue excelente.Hay muchas mesas al aire libre y algunas también en una carpa. Los controles y el distanciamiento de Covid están bien gestionados y no dudaríamos en recomendar la comida.Esperamos volver más tarde esta semana. Los precios del café también son razonables (¡especialmente en comparación con la oferta en Bruar en el camino!).

Stopped here for breakfast after staying at the caravan park overnight. The bread is wonderful and for breakfast we had pastries which were huge and very tasty. Wonderful little place which was popular with locals as well. Definitely worth a stop.

Excellent lunch, the best service with great Covid restrictions in place. Loads of outdoor seating. Kirsty and her staff have made a fantastic job under the current circumstances. Well worth a visit, will definitely be back!

Amazing service and coffee, the cafe had some great Covid processes in place to have us queue and order safely and we felt both safe and welcome by the brilliant team there. We will definitely come back next time we are in the area.

Fantastic bread, if you are traveling by stop and enjoy the great breakfast. The bread is awesome...

Pedí un sándwich descrito como un panecillo y obtuve un bollo diminuto, la porción más pequeña de la historia, seguido de un pastel de sándwich Victoria que era aburrido y muy seco. Los baños estaban cerrados. Nadie pidió detalles de contacto para que alguien pudiera estar propagando un virus, ¡confundido! Luego dicen que todos deben usar una máscara, ¡pero algunas personas están exentas y deben entender eso!

I regularly stop for coffee or lunch when driving on the A9 so was pleased it had opened again. Happy to sit outside and the food was ok, but wasn’t up to the usual standard. The only cafe I’ve been to during covid-19 that says that the toilets are closed because of ‘government guidelines’ and recommend that you should go to the toilets in the village! I won’t return if the toilets remain closed to customers.

Another visit to this fantastic little place. Highly recommended stop for anyone travelling on the A9. Without a doubt the best bacon rolls anywhere! Have stocked up again on their fab home made muesli and Sourdough bread. Impressive COVID secure practices also in place - Scout marquee a brilliant idea!

I was so pleased that the watermill in Blair Atholl was open. When we are in this part of Scotland we always stop hear. Had our coffee and food carryout in the gardens it was a nice day. Keep up the good work.

We came in on Saturday although busy staff coped extremely well.. Hubby and I had cheese scone, carrot cake and lattes. Delicious and good service, girls helpful to make you feel welcome. Will be back again

Attended here yesterday. Used to be nice and fresh food. Now Covid 19 nuclear zone. Terrible customer service. There is a difference being open and it being pleasureable.Terrible experience. Stand outside, summoned in and provide your order. Top prices but junk food. Soups served in paper cups, scone right from McVities, and scoop of sloppy jam and melted cream in a plastic tub. Having satin badly kept outside area, eating processed food, left with pile of disposable rubbish.Don’t bother going here. Overpriced and poor fare. And please stop embarrassing people who because of appearance have genuine reason for not wearing a face mask. This challenge is unnecessary causes conflict and stigma.

Just had a superb breakfast a bacon and egg sandwich and the bun was so soft it’s definitely worth a visit if you passing.

Our group ( 4 adults and 1 child) enjoyed a morning coffee ,cake etc . When we asked about using the toilets we were told to use the public ones near the visitor centre . Disappointing.

Un entorno encantador y el lugar estaba muy ocupado, pero logramos encontrar dos asientos junto a una encantadora pareja de Prestonpans mientras esperábamos que nos trajeran el almuerzo. Nuestro almuerzo fue muy agradable y el pan delicioso. El personal era muy amable, el único inconveniente era que la gente salía por la puerta. . . . . y dejándolo abierto! No fue un día muy cálido y estábamos justo al lado de la puerta, así que podría haber sido más cálido, ¡pero eso no fue culpa de los propietarios que eran clientes desconsiderados! Volveremos pero no para sentarme cerca de la puerta. . . ¡por si acaso! ! !

Nuestro guía de Kensington Tours nos llevó al molino de agua Blair Atholl para tomar un té en una tarde fría. Fue perfecto. Los bollos son tan buenos porque muelen la harina en ese mismo momento. La crema era para morirse; podías ver a los distribuidores cerca. Esta es una joya escondida con el pan del cielo.

Esperamos una trampa para turistas, nos quedamos delirando sobre Heavenly pan recién horneado, cruasanes y panecillos para el desayuno, todo regado con excelente café italiano. Magnífico molino de agua antiguo que aún funciona con una cafetería muy acogedora, garantizada para dejarlo con una sonrisa recién levantada en la cara y claramente amado por los lugareños y los turistas. Vale la pena una breve diversión de la A 9.

This place is a favourite of my parents and I can see why. Rustic café set in a working mill, with homemade food that is enjoyable. Happily return here.

The food is amazing. Ham and cheese wedged sandwich for my husband. Coconut, spinach and lentil soup with cheese scone

Read several review on the Watermill Bakery before coming here. An old watermill with a bake shop attached. The mill was not running as the water was low. However, the tiny bake shop was crowded! We grabbed a small table as some others were leaving. You order at the counter and they deliver the food to your table. A wonderful tomato bisque and sandwiches with bread to die for. Of course, the mill grinds the wheat to make the flour....you get the idea. We also bought some shortbread cookies for the road - they were terrific. There is ample parking and a level walk to the bake shop. There are about 5 steps to climb in order to enter.

What a great wee place! The soup was delicious, the bread is some of the best I've ever tasted, as were the scones! Great value for money and very friendly staff - we were served immediately, though I'm sure that it will be much busier in the summer months.You can visit the working Watermill while you're here as well which is a great thing to see (it was closed while we were there due to lack of water but you can still have a walk around and see everything). Would highly recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Lunch was excellent. Had a home made bagel with beautiful ham, this was delicious. The mill wasn’t working on our visit but you could still go in and read about the experience and speak to well informed mill staff. Those who love fresh flower will love this place.

A lovely quaint place with good food and pleasant staff. Fresh own milled food to buy. A lovely place to stop for a break.

Been loads of times and never been disappointed, great food and lovely staff, definitely worth a visit

We stopped on our way from Aviemore for lunch. We ordered soup of the day and the salmon with cream cheese and salad. The soup didn’t come with bread so we ended up sharing the sour dough bread that was with the salmon. Portion size and taste was good enough for lunch . The ambiance and cutesy location are the real draw to this place.

We visited the watermill in September and were enchanted by the history, the service and the food. It was a step back in time without the inconvenience. Would definitely recommend!

Was needing to stop for a hot drink on our long journey south and seen this place advertised. So glad we stopped by. It was only 20 mins until last orders (4pm) but it was very busy. Thankfully there was a table for us. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Happy to see they have decaf tea. There’s lots of cakes, home baked breads etc... on offer and a small shop selling their own flour, oatmeal, muesli.. There’s a small section to the side where you can see the workings of the mill and you can try to grind your own flour. Lovely little place that’s worth a visit.

I have stopped here a few times now on my way to/from the Highlands. It's well worth coming off the main road to sit in the tranquil garden or inside the mill. Coffee was excellent (and I'm fussy about my espresso). Lovely selection of cakes and sandwiches. The bread and flour they sell is wonderfull too.

Needed a break for tea and sandwich. What a great find. Lovely home cooked food and cakes excellent friendly service and quaint rustic seating. Fabulous break from driving.

Lovely little eatery with an interesting story and fresh baking. As a family we had breakfast consisting of fresh bagels hot chocolate, bacon and egg rolls and coffee. Highly recommended.

Soucieux de déjeuner sur le pouce, nous avons été charmés par les plats et le site. Sandwichs, baggels, toasts, sont excellents. Produits locaux, présentation soignée et portions généreuses. Une très bonne et belle surprises avec le moulin à visiter gratuitement par la même occasion. Petit établissement à l’ambiance chaleureuse, des tables aussi à l’extérieur.

Came for breakfast on a busy Saturday in August. Coffee for hubby tea for me and we both had a bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon. The bagels were light and tasty the smoked salmon was some of the best we've tasted in a long time. Drinks as always were hot and delicious. Always a pleasure to come here at any time of day!

Blair Atholl Watermill restaurant is a restaurant/cafe attached to the a quaint little museum of the same name. The restaurant actually uses the flour and oat meal made by the still functioning watermill. Something which sounds awesome when you think of all the modern tech we have available.

Stopped here for a light lunch. Had tasty plate of homemade soup with oatcakes (also homemade) excellent value served by pleasant staff in lovely surroundings.

Stopped by here for lunch during our recent holiday in Blair Atholl. What an absolute gem, food was amazing, we both had sandwiches and the bread rolls were incredible. We had to try the carrot cake after reading good things about it and we weren’t disappointed. Another bonus was being able to have our dogs with us in the garden outside.

Stopped for lunch with the family on the way to our Highlands holiday. Great homemade lunches with local produce. The mill still produces flour and the home baked bread is excellent. Can also buy loaves of bread to take away as well as eating it for lunch. Friendly helpful staff and they take credit cards.

Joli petit café afin de prendre un lunch avec les produits frais et faits sur place. En effet le moulin encore en activité vend ses propres farines, pains, et autres produits à base de leurs farines.

Disappointed that there was limited access for disabled folk. Parking at front for disabled but several tricky steps to negotiate so only option was to eat outside! Food was good & freshly made👍

The Blair Athol water mill is a lovely place To visit. The water mill it’s self Is lovely and the cafe is cute and rustic! Lovely staff and very helpful would recommend

The watermill was super (after a lot of rain) and well worth a visit. Better still was lunch, I had a smoked salmon sandwich with cream cheese and it was splendid!!

We called in for lunch and earlier for tea.

Part of the Blair Atholl estate but situated within the village on a side road, this watermill is in working order but is also used a bakery and eatery. We didn't have a drink or food, but did take a quick tour inside to look at the workings and then wandered around the outside.

We were lucky to have a personal tour with Rami and were given information about every aspect of the mill. It was so interesting to see such traditional machinery working.

We visited here after we had visited Blair castle for a spot of lunch as the Blair castle canteen was just that!

Visited this mill with my cousins we had lunch and the homemade bread was wonderful so was the coffee, The watermill was in operation when we went and this is a must for a visit as it is very interesting brilliant staff.

Enjoyed a lovely coffee and tour round here staff were freindly coffee was great and my roll was the best I've had for a long time

Great wee spot to stop! We were traveling back to Edinburgh from the Highlands, a journey we do fairly regularly. Fancied trying somewhere new. What a lovely surprise. The cafe has a pretty tea garden by the stream, lots of seats inside if the weather was not nice. Good menu, yummy scones and slices. Will definitely stop in here again!

Acaba de hacer el curso intermedio de panificación.

Lovely old water mill which still produces flour (when there is enough water), lovely outside sitting area too. Had lovely cuppa with chocolate tiffen which was very good, my husband had a beef roll also very good and my sister had a delicious cheese scone.

Nos detuvimos aquí en nuestro camino hacia los Cairngorms (habiendo parado aquí antes) y usamos los excelentes asientos afuera. El molino en sí era fantástico y, aunque algunos de los productos eran más caros de lo habitual, era realmente muy bueno (¡el pastel de chocolate era estupendo!), Que se puede ver con su popularidad.

Mi esposa y yo nos detuvimos en este pintoresco café en una tarde lluviosa mientras esperábamos el próximo tren a Pitlochry. Estaba muy lleno por dentro pero nos las arreglamos para encontrar una mesa que se abría. Este es un gran café para pedir sopa y sándwiches o simplemente café y té. Ordene desde el mostrador y hágales saber el número de su mesa y ellos le entregarán su comida. También tienen comedor al aire libre en su jardín de té, el tiempo lo permite. Los precios son muy razonables, especialmente para sus especiales de almuerzo diarios escritos en la pizarra. Comí una sopa y un sándwich BLT con pan recién horneado y estaba delicioso. #blairathollcafes #blairathollrestaurants

Nos detuvimos aquí para almorzar un viernes soleado en nuestro camino a la destilería Dalwhinnie. El lugar antiguo y tradicional es una verdadera joya en medio de la nada, especialmente si tienes la suerte de disfrutar del clima y el sol.
