Flossie's Beach Store in Highland

After a long journey this little stop was exactly what was needed. So quaint and met all our needs. I had the best egg Mayo roll ever. My friends enjoyed the ham and cheese toastie and tuna Mayo rolls. They also served one of the best espressos I’ve had. Definitely pleasantly surprised. Would come again.

Lovely little shop, toasties were delightful and not overpriced. Lovely customer service. All the essentials you need to cater for your stay at the beach.

fab sandwiches, friendly and a true gem. We loved everything about it. Huge choice of fruit and veg too , even stem ginger !

Stopped here after a cold, windy dog walk. The square sausage sandwiches were wonderful and the coffee was excellent. There was also a really good range of groceries. Service was friendly and warm. Highly recommend

A small easy to miss little gem. We very much enjoyed a freshly prepared simple tasty lunch with excellent coffee and cake. Well stocked with fresh produce and wifi. Throughly recommend.

Rented a cottage in Stoer . Flossies was so convenient on the way past for all sorts and so friendly

Got to Clachtoll on Friday for 4 nights and thought hope there's a shop, found Flossies and what a fantastic find it is, you can get everything you need and hot drinks and food too, such a friendly place as well. 5* rating from us.

Super cute, super friendly and super helpful.. this has to be the smallest but well stocked corner shop I’ve ever been too and just loved it .

Well stocked & not too expensive considering location.Not very friendly - complained about number if "wild campers" in the area. Husband? Did not want us to put rubbish 5 ice cream wrappers bought in their shop in his large bin(s) saying they were recycling bins only.

Some tourists seem neither to know, care, and nor understand, the remoteness of the place they have come to, or the problems this remoteness entails for anyone running a business in the area. It’s really too much to expect that any shop will always have all perishables at any given point. (I’ve noticed some will only stock milk, bread, etc. if it’s ordered.) But I’m sure most visitors appreciate, as we do, the small miracles ‘Flossie's’ regularly pulls off in keeping this tiny place amazingly well supplied despite the inherent challenges of running a shop hundreds of miles (presumably) away from suppliers — and this year in the midst of a pandemic, too. On top of a truly astonishing range of fresh food and produce and store cupboard basics for such a tiny place we find we often only have to ask the owner if she stocks something for her to have it available next time we call in. I don’t see how any reasonable person could ask for more, or better service. As for the visitor who complained she wasn’t allowed in even wearing a mask, I imagine it’s not been easy for many small businesses adapt their premises at short notice to keep them Covid-safe. Surely it’s better that Flossie’s is still able to open even if it is only like a kiosk (just, I imagine, for the time being) rather than remain closed until whatever necessary work can be carried out? (Actually, from previous visits, I can’t imagine how it would even be possible in this wee ‘hut’.) We’re certainly very happy with this year’s arrangements. And if people don’t want to stand outside to order and they’re staying in the area you can now even order online and get it delivered! Really, what more can a reasonable person expect in a tiny wee hamlet in ‘Europe’s last great wilderness’? A supermarket?

Well I was hoping for better things from the previous reviews. But just back home after a week in a hired caravan Lochinver ( Clachtoll has not came alive yet, and not in my opinion ready for tourists. I found stock low no milk no bread or rolls for Sale. Maybe it’s because of Covid but I thought it was a big disappointment . Either that or she was not ready, a missed opportunity as I never bothered going back again it was so dissapointing. The lady who I assumed was Flossie was very nice however. Get some stock in Flossie and I did not like the kios shop as you could not see what was for sale. And I’m sure if shop was open people would were a mask. There are a few picnic bench outside for use. I heard she serves rolls. Maybe more takeaway than shop? Very pretty little store from outside.

Visited on a Wednesday at 1400hrs having checked out opening times (1200-1700) and noting it had customers the day before we visited, only to go and find it was closed when it should have been open. No notice or reason why it was closed. Appreciate it may be low season but if so then just say 'Closed'.

Loved Flossie’s drove past it every day driving to and from Culkein. Popped in for coffee and cake. Great range of tasty treats and savoury products. I couldn’t resist the enormous sticky cream buns. Could just eat another one now.

Stopped at Flossies yesterday for cake and a hot chocolate. Lovely little place, so friendly and great service.

We stopped here whilst taking a drive down the coast from Stoer. Very friendly and great toasties and coffee!

While staying at the Clachtoll Beach Campsite it is great place to get essentials such as rolls, bread or milk. From my experience it's the only positive about it. The young man who was serving me at least couple of times seemed to be very much disengaged with clients. Possibly early morning mood?! Though, could still try being more pleasant.

This is a small place but it is fantastic. The cake and brownies are really amazing and a must! Go here when at clachtoll beach.

Visited several times during our stay at the Clachtoll campsite. Excellent toasted sandwiches and the bread rolls are quite lovely. The only downside, £1.06 for a small box of matches.....jeepers!

This is a handy wee shop for sure, but not reliably open at the times stated, so buy some food if you are camping close by

Very photo-friendly, ideal spot to grab a cold drink or ice-cream. Compact and bijoux. Dog-friendly too.

Nice little shop carrying a lot of basics and serving up light meals and snacks. Bacon And sausage rolls are amazing! Never had such soft rolls before.

Small store with just enough range of tinned goods and UHT milk etc to survive on when on a camping trip but considering the remote location that’s fine. It’s finest points are the fresh coffee and the excellent smoked bacon rolls cooked to order - £2.50 for two decent rashers of bacon in a white or brown roll. Fresh bread rolls are delivered by a baker twice a week so if you’re there in delivery day buy a few. There’s also a shelf of second hand paperbacks that you can select in return for a donation in one of the collection tins.

Just stopped in for a coffee and cake. Lovely place en great service. Parking in front of the entrance so we could leave the dogs in the car

Lovely shop, thoughtful product lines with a lot of local produce. My boys loved going for their ice creams or dream rings...

Wonderful surprise finding this little cafe, fabulous fresh food but Bacon & Loren Sausage Rolls were delicious and Black Pudding or Haggis were also highly recommended by my friends

How could I not visit such a visually striking little shop ? An amazing range of products and services all packed into a tiny shack . Absolutely gorgeous, a highlight of my trip . Does anyone know the history and background to this shop ? If you search it on Street view its still an abandoned rusty shed so its creation must be quite recent.

A lovely experience. The best bacon rolls and lovely people and the scenery is a wow. Can get busy, but worth the wait. Parkin* can also be tight, just be patient.

Fantastic Staff, full of wit and banter.

A serendipitous find early one morning. Don't be put off by the size! There is no seating inside, and I really do believe the sign which says it is the smallest shop in Scotland. Service is quick, food is good, and it puts a smile on your face. Contactless payment is accepted.

Very friendly wee takeaway cafe near Clachtoll beach. Fresh food and reasonably priced. Parking to front & a small garden to sit in on a nice day.

Visited here twice over the week, pleasant service and conversation. Bacon rolls, tea and coffee were great. Thoroughly recommended for those NC500 travellers.

Wee gem of a place, a delicious and very reasonably priced bacon butty and coffee after a morning at Clachtoll beach. Accepts contactless card payment also which we wouldn't of expected but i'm sure is very welcome in a remote area. Loved Flossies, will endeavour to return next time we are in the area!

Stayed in the area last year and popped in to Flossie's a couple of times for fresh rolls and one of the best bacon rolls we've had. Back in the area this week and popped in again yesterday for a bacon roll.....as good as ever. Very friendly service and a great asset to this remote area.

Clachtoll is quite a remote place so to find such a great wee shop here was fantastic. They do pizzas etc at the weekend for the campers too. Nice young lady serving. Very helpful.

Ideally situated on the NC500 route and right next to Clachtoll Beach Campsite. Has nearly everything you'll need in such a tiny space. They do hot food nights a couple of nights a week. Ideal.

Was so welcome after a very long drive to be able to go and order dinner and was ready for us to have a wander down once in and settled. Excellent service and food just what was needed

Flossie's is a small takeaway cafe with benches outside. Fantastic bacon sandwiches & snacks. A small shop with all essentials. Run by a lovely, helpful lady. A perfect refuelling stop on the most beautiful of roads.

We had fish and chip Wednesday at Flossie’s tonight, amazing fish and chips. The fish was local, delicious and huge! Very friendly staff and friendly customers too! Big thumbs up!

As this shop cum cafe is called a “beach store” I expected it to be down on the sands, but it is very conveniently sited on the road side as you drive past the camp site. Painted a bright blue, it is a delightful looking wee place and an ideal place to stop for a cuppa tea and a roll.

Flossie’s has got all your basics and when we got to Clachtoll on a Saturday, we were told that we can get dinner of fish and chips that night from the shop. We were a bit skeptical to be honest because we have not had a good serve of fish and chips in Scotland since we arrived a week and a half earlier. We were not disappointed! The fish was lightly battered, still moist and the chips were crunchy and delicious. Amazing!

I always make my annual pilgrimage to Clachtoll campsite at this time of year and those of you that know the area will know it’s a real pain having to trek all the way to Lochinver for a pint of milk or whatever so Flossies is just the best shop ever for the simple reason that it saves you the 10 mile round trip into town and back but it delivers so much more besides! Marianne and her staff are always welcoming and up for a laugh, the range of goods in the shop is astonishing for such a small space and to top it all she does fish and chips a couple of nights a week which are superb so for such a small shop it really does punch above its weight so if your passing through it’s well worth stopping and having a coffee or a bacon roll or both! Cya next year Marianne. X

We were staying at the Inver Lodge (also great) and I was looking for a breakfast/coffee place that was somewhere near, instead of the fancy breakfast at the hotel. They had me at bacon roll! We even went back the next day and my good friend ordered a bacon and black pudding roll. Heaven!! There are tables outside and friendly folks abound. Then head on over to Clachtoll beach for a perfect morning. Another great addition to the Highlands. Thank you Flossies!!

We just stopped in for a cup of tea and a bacon roll at this great wee place. We visited the adjoining campsite's facilities and were very impressed. Clean and well cared for. I would like to go back to camp there and would be visiting Flossie's every day.

Chioschetto accanto al camping, in mezzo al nulla, dove si può trovare un caffè caldo ( buono!), Pane, snack, gelati, yogurt.

Generous bacon rolls and great coffee! There are picnic tables outside to enjoy your food and watch the world go by. And a short walk to the beach. The shelves have a good choice of staples, fresh bread is delivered daily and you can stock up on wine etc. too. No wonder Flossie's is so popular with locals and visitors alike.

It may look compact but this is a little gem of a place in a fabulous and remote area of Assynt. Don’t pass without stopping.

Stumbled upon this lovely quaint tea shop in middle of nowhere at Clachtol beach. Had a cheese and ham toastie, very tasty. Lots of meals served after 6pm also. Friendly service, hope to visit again

Quirky little shop/cafe, well worth a visit when you are at Clachtoll. Great takeaway rolls. Sells all the basics that you would need when camping.

We stopped by on our way from Clashnessie to Lochinver. I love this area. My childhood hols were spent in the chalets at Stoer. The bacon buttie was delicious, proper crispy bacon. My boyfriend enjoyed a black pudding buttie. The latte was pretty damn good too. I need to return, soon.

We were travelling through Lochinver and found this place on Trip Advisor as both were feeling hungry for a spot of lunch. Had a great cheese and tomato toasty sat outside Flossie's. Has lots of cakes and other bits and pieces to buy too - and a lovely beach just a short stroll away.

I only popped by for a cold drink, after a long walk, and a little sugar hit, but very impressed with the set-up. The place is like a tardis, walls crammed with all sorts fare that you'd expect from a cornershop, just in a much much smaller space.

An inspired little tardis haven beside the beach. Selling everything from bread and cakes to soya yoghurt (who'd have thought?), midge repellent and postcards, there are benches outside to enjoy your latte in the sun. Yes, they do great coffee as well, oh! and breakfasts such as bacon and egg rolls. Veggie burgers are served in the evening and I'm assured a veggie/vegan breakfast option will be considered. Priceless!

Staying in the area we walked past the store often and thought we would try their breakfast rolls, I honestly have to say I've never tasted scrambled eggs so delicious in my life, straight from the owners hens, I couldn't recommend them highly enough. The shop has everything that you could possibly run out of whilst on holiday in the area and is definitely a huge asset. The owner was so friendly and helpful and nice, she took the time to chat to everyone. She also is hugely into recycling and recycles all the bottles, plastic etc and all her food trays, cutlery etc are compostable which I am impressed by. Good for her. This wee shop is a gem in this area.

Visited Flossies this week on two occasions while on a walking holiday in Assynt.

A nice little shop, with limted range of goods. Nice and friendly Watch sell by dates, we bought milk that didn’t t last the day. It is a remote setting.

A great little shop and café with excellent coffee. This is a fun shopping location and quite unique. Very friendly and helpful owner. Don't miss out on a very special experience used by locals and visitors alike all year round.

Saw this listed, while browsing on my phone and on arrival found it was not a restaurant and 6 miles away from Lochinver! Very disappointed and luckily I managed to travel back to Lochinver in time to get a delicious pie meal from the pie shop. This is just a wooden shed which sells groceries and snacks and is misleading to be listed as a restaurant

Well stocked with very basics; great bacon rolls and excellent rolls. nce you know milk and bread comes every other day it is a godsend.!

We stayed at the Clachtoll campsite for a couple of days and we stumbled across this wee shop that supplies most basic provisions along with fresh bread eggs and take away snacks. It was amazing and worth a visit and the type of local business that needs our support. I was surprised the flyer the campsite hands out didn’t advise visitors that Flossies was on the campsite doorstep as it wasn’t obvious and we wished we had found it earlier as it would have saved us a long drive to Loch Inver..

Great wee roadside shop selling the basics and open regularly with takeaway and right beside the road in Clachtoll and the Campsite.

Stopped here to get a filled roll and some soft drinks. Staff were very friendly and informative. When our rolls were ready the lad came outside to give them to us. The rolls were made to order and tasted great....just what we needed

We popped in past having stayed in Lochinver for a night on our NC500 trip. On a freezing Saturday morning we found Flossie’s having seen the reviews here. After a night in a Pod with Gale force winds we needed a good breakfast. A warm welcome from the lady who owns it ( I can’t believe we never asked your name and we were there at least 30 mins! Sorry) and a great sausage roll/egg & black pudding roll.

Visited here in late November while on holiday in Drumbeg. Had read about Flossies on social media so planned our visit to Clachtoll to fit in with a lunchtime visit here.

Friendly welcome and decent selection of cakes to go with our coffees. They also sell the best barms/rolls/breadcakes which are worth grabbing whilst you are there.

Great little spot and well stocked (even Croissant!) Popped in for a cup of tea when I spotted it. Exceptionally warm welcome and really couldn't have wished for more.

Stopped here for a hot drink after a windy walk around Clachtoll Beach & Iron Age Broch. Purchased a piece of cake to take away with us...delicious. The lady behind the counter was extremely welcoming and imparted lots of local knowledge including a discussion about the recent design of the Sutherland Flag - very interesting. Shame we popped in here at the end of our holiday, otherwise I'm sure we would have made more visits. A definite must as a stopping point, don't just drive past.

Stopped here for delicious coffee and ice cream on a big day out! There were a couple of locals in and they were all very chatty and helpful. Weather was wild but I imagine it’s a great wee stop for a picnic on a warm day!

What a great little place! Just what you need when you’re off the beaten track. Tea and cake and a friendly face.

Great place and a warm welcome awaits fresh Vegetables when available and best of all it's never closed all year round except Xmas day and New Year's Day.and the lady that runs it Marinne has time for every body hot food cooked to order as well

Lovely lady who own it, so friendly and welcoming. It's like the TARDIS inside. Huge selection of groceries and hot snacks.

Everything you need, wonderful cakes and bread all topped off with service with a smile. Recommend the hot chocolate and millionaires shortcake!

We were thrilled to find Flossie's today!! What a great addition to the area. This small store has a surprising variety of stock

Well every time we drove past Flossie's it seemed to be open for business! From the outside, a little blue shed ... from the inside a one-stop-shop for food, drinks and all self catering needs. This is a family run business I understand, passed down from father to son, and they clearly know what they're doing! A great little stop off for just about anything! Check it out if you can.

Very friendly and helpful as we were served our mug of tea to help thaw us out a bit!! Easy to see as you are driving along.

Flossies looks after locals and visitors with great hot sandwiches and all manner of groceries. The black pudding sandwiches are amazing. My kids loved the square sausage rolls. When the sun shines it's ice cream time. When it's cold it's toasties and hot drinks. When we needed supplies for our holiday at Oldany a quick stop here was very welcome. Being able to pay by card and also have free wifi for her customers was a godsend. Flossies does the basics brilliantly and looks after the whole community.

Tea and lemon drizzle cake! Yum yum yum 😁 sunsnine, happy little dog in garden and a chatty las in shop. say no more.

A great little shop in a remote location that seems have everthing you might need, all packed into something the size of a modest garden shed. The staff are polite, friendly and fully deserving of their trip advisor award.

Very good running, fresh deliveries every 2 days . Very very very nice food , service and place . I absolutely recommend this place !

Il y a tout ce dont vous avez besoin, les propriétaires sont véritablement accueillants,

This was an amazing little place, excellent toasties and coffee, ice cream and breadbuns . The wifi wasn't bad either, seeing as it was the only place around.

Brilliant little shop that has everything you need. We used it everyday on our holiday at nearby split rock. The service is also extremely friendly and almost worth the visit alone!

After a wonderful afternoon at Clachtoll on an unusually hot summers day, Flossie's beach store was a marvellous find, providing life saving ice lollies. More often than not, you would expect to pay a premium for a wee shop parked in the middle of nowhere so I was both surprised and delighted to pay no more than we do in our local shop in Paisley. It seems Flossie's is something of an institution: what is little more than a small tin shed puts our local corner shop to shame in both choice and quality. Perhaps a Flossie's franchise scattered across remote Highland locations could become a thing.

Stornoway black pudding pudding rolls , no more words needed 😁Friendly service and well stocked shop .

This place is a real gem to call in for a snack, the home made cakes are excellent and there's nothing that is overpriced. The lady that runs the place is a credit to Scotland, she couldn't be more helpful or friendly. Add to that there's always a bowl of cool clear water outside for our canine companions.

Amazing gem of a shop - stocks a wide range of required camp-type stuff. Also provides lunches - hot filled rolls, toasties etc. Coffee is excellent.

Flossie's is essentially ON the beach campsite so very convenient if staying there. She's really friendly and helpful and has a surprising amount of stock in this tiny little shop. She'll also make hot filled rolls and proper espresso machine coffee (at all times of day - I got there just before closing and it turned out to be my only dinner option!)

It's amazing how much can be stocked in such a small space. Flossie's sell an excellent combination of local and imported produce, including some delicious pate. I had a coffee and a buttery and then a gentle walk round the beach and back.

Staying at Clachtoll campsite, Flossie's has to be one of the best places, with a warm welcome. If you run out of wine, milk, bread, you can find it here. Great coffee and bacon and haggis rolls to be found here too.

Good coffee and excellent cooked rolls. Good local produce. Friendly service with a good range of products for such a wee place.

This is a great little place, where you least expect to find a shop after you have left Lochinver behind. Considering its size it is remarkably well stocked and must be greatly appreciated by campers and caravanners at Clachtoll. It also serves hot drinks and snacks - I enjoyed a lovely coffee and sausage roll there.

Selling good fresh baked bread and rolls and delicious handmade chocolates from Belgium. Good place for a quick bite after a walk on Clahtoll beach

Great tea, coffee, decaf, household stuff, milk, eggs & bacon rolls & iced creamy buns for miles!

Went in past for some groceries and couldn't believe the selection in such a small area. The young girl behind counter was so friendly and helpful. People were also eating outside, looked great.

A lovely shop with all you need for beach and holidays, Great to fresh bread and the little things extras you forgot to take with you.

Tiny roadside wooden hut packed with food options. Great place to stop for tea, cake and sandwiches. Sitting in the garden on a sunny day can't be beaten.

Called here for a coffee break whilst touring around. It packs a lot into a small place. A mix of shop, cafe, coffee shop. Friendly helpful staff. The express was nice too.

Called in to Flossies today. Inside the wee blue shed is a treasure of assorted groceries, snacks and drinks. We took a couple of hot drinks and some shortbread and sat in the sun (optional). Excellent fare and friendly service.

A great place to get your essentials but they also serve great snacks and awesome coffee (not recommended for people with heart or psychological problems) easily the best in the highlands. Great location and fantastic staff. More fun than Loch Ness

Very good food here, handy wee shop for locals, fantastic bacon rolls, always enjoy our visits here highly recommended!

We stopped here twice during our week stay. Very friendly and the lorne sausage and potato scone rolls very good
