Hebscape in Eilean Siar

Wonderful photographs of the area unframed and framed. Table mats and coasters. Beautiful building in a wonderful setting with very helpful people. Worth taking a look see.

The coffee was excellent and the photos were very beautiful. Located just off the main road approaching Tarbert so very convenient.

Just north of Tarbert, and delightful cafe which is obviously very popular with local folk... justifiably so. Excellent coffee and scones.

I loved this place. Had a leisurely wander around looking at the art, such a talented pair. Coffee, scones and cake were delicious and I now have a spectacular picture of Callanish on my wall at home - thank you both so much for a very special visit to Harris! x

Dropped by for refreshments. Limited choice, but well presented and tastes good. Beautiful photographs to look at whilst eating.

Stopped here and had a great coffee. Wonderful art work as well and the Scottish cake is to die for. Great service as well.

The white hot chocolate and the ginger cake were superb. There was a variety of interesting artwork for sale. Nice views. We had a prolonged stop to regain our strength before cycling up the Clisham.

Very welcoming and comfortable venue in a stunning location. Quality local food, simply prepared, beautifully presented and delicious. Interesting art and photographic display. A really great find.

Interesting little gallery just North of Tarbert .Set on a hillside overlooking the sea with some fantastic views.Very nice coffee and lots of stunning photographs.

We found Hebscape just north of Tarbet and visited twice. Beautiful scenery and lovely place to stop, relax and have a good coffee. We also had the scones which were very tasty. The gallery was real interesting with some beautiful photography which we could not resist. Recommended and clearly popular.

Went here for a snack on arrival on Harris, and managed to go back twice more during out week there. Smoked salmon pate and oatcakes or sour dough was so delicious, I didn't even sample any cakes, but it all looked lovely. Friendly, relaxed surroundings, and great views to enjoy at the same time. The photography on sale was also pretty impressive - I am not normally drawn to framed photographs as artwork, but these were a class apart from most.

Just north of Tarbet this gallery/coffee shop offers excellent photography, delicious light lunches and coffees and spectacular views. We visited twice because the smoked salmon pate served with soda bread was so delicious. thee second time we were treated to the sight of an eagle soaring around outside thee panoramic windows.

The pictures that are exposed are really great. The owners are sympathic. A stop on the way from Tarbert to Stornoway

We visited three times in four days. The food is to die for and the photographic art is out of this world. My wife swears by the smoked salmon pate but I was adventurous and had three different dishes - all mouth-wateringly excellent. We have a house full of pictures but could not resist a breathtaking print of the northern lights. There are many excellent photographers around but here you will find real works of art. A favourite Salavador Dali print is now being consigned to the attic to make way for our newly acquired treasure.

Visited twice during our time on Harris, the second time buying a framed print! Lovely little gallery with stunning views across the bay and seats positioned to make most of view. A small menu mainly of drinks and cakes...the apple and cinnamon cake was divine.

This cafe gets great reviews and they are well deserved. Good range of teas and coffees, cakes and soup. Really nice setting with lots of lovely pictures to look at and buy.

Gorgeous photographic work and delicious coffee and scones, in such a beautiful setting....lots of lovely cards, and bits and bobs for gifting etc. Loved the handpainted shells.

Una hermosa vista desde la galería y muy buen café y chocolate caliente. Es más nuestro arte pintado lo que fotografía, pero algunas de las escenas que habíamos nos encantó ver mientras en la isla fueron capturados muy bien algunos colores magníficos en el arte.

It was lovely to meet Darren and see his work ....and have a lovely Cuppa....the Cheese scones are....plain scone with...

Tea rooms and galleries on the Outer Hebrides tend to fall squarely into one of two distinct categories: traditional and eccentric. We felt this one was leaning more towards the eccentric and was all the better for that. The food was excellent and felt fresh and home-made with beautiful bread. While we were waiting for it to arrive I had a squiz at some of the photos on display. They were all of a certain type, were interesting and captured a sense of a life on the islands. There were several that I felt I could live with, but by this point they were competing with a fresh bowl of soup and frankly, that's no competition at all. The bread that came with the soup was so good that I've started chewing random things on my desk at the memory of it.All in all this is a very pleasant little gallery and soupery and makes a perfect stop off point if traversing the island.

We stopped for coffee (excellent!!!), were tempted by some fabulous scones (highly recommend the cheese scone plate), and ended up buying two photographs that perfectly captured our experience on Harris and Lewis

Went with 3 kids, good strong coffee, lovely filling soup, salmon pate, cheese and oatcakes all very good.

We nearly missed this lovely gallery/ coffee shop just outside Tarbert. We stopped for a coffee and were so impreesed by the beautiful photographic art that we couldn't resist buying some pictures too!!

Yes those cheese scones and chutney were something else. A large selection of teas and the photography is nice too :)

First rate coffee and delicious homemade scones in a gallery of beautiful photographs. A very pleasant place to spend an hour.

Popped in for takeaway as we were travelling with the dog. Very pleasant and welcoming. The place had a very calming atmosphere with Celtic background music and the views from the windows were simply stunning! The cheese scones went down a treat!

Coffe and shortbread were a tad overpriced and the place did not have a feeling of welcome. A few more tables for two would help.

This is a small gallery with only limited seating but off season it provides a cosy shelter and quality coffee break. Enjoy a seat with sea views and then take in the high standard photography.

Darren has a real talent in catching the ever changing light and moods of the local landscape. Add to this excellent lunchtime food and drink and you will be keen to return both to Harris and Hebscape!

lovely home cooked food, fab coffee and the photos on display are amazing . A lovely place to sit and relax in

Very friendly owners who were prepared to chat. The owner's photographs were a joy. So much so that my daughter bought one to take back to Switzerland. Very comfortable for a scone and a cup of coffee.

Gorgeous snacks in relaxing studio surroundings with exquisite, unbeatable views. The homemade soup and bread is excellent.

Stopped here on a Saturday afternoon for a drink and a catch up with a friend. There are lots of stunning photographs of the surrounding area displayed on the walls. Excellent views out the windows onto a landscape that is ever changing, depending on what the weather is doing.We had the scones, which were lovely and light, served with jam and cream. Delicious! The tea was hot and wet, what more could you ask for.A lovely place to stop off. It was quiet when we went in, but by the time we left, the car park was full.

This is a lovely gallery and tea room with stunning photos! The scones and tea were just a treat! The menu offers a great selection of teas/ coffee and light bites to eat. The guys were very friendly and welcoming.

Can drive by heading off but is well worth a stop. Friendly service, place is immaculate with great views. Best soup on Harris followed by scones and coffee. Great lunch stop. Gallery pictures stunning.

This gallery/tearoom is easily accessed on the main road out/into Tarbert. The atmosphere is so relaxing you could be at risk of nodding of on your holidays! A strong black coffee exquisitely prepared with some hone baking saved the day! The owners are very knowledgable about the area and more than happy to help. Enjoy!

As regular visitors to Harris (and its small but fine selection of cafes) we were interested to try this new kid on the block.First impressions on entering were of a bright and modern interior with a nice feel. The owners were both very friendly and chatty.However we both raised our eyebrows when we saw the menu as we couldn't help but notice how strikingly similar it was in appearance and content to another art cafe in Harris. Given the small number of eating establishments around these parts, you wouldn't have thought it too difficult to create something original? As it is the quality of the food we had was decent overall although not up to the high standards in several other places in Harris and Lewis.Soup was good, but their version of salmon and oatcakes did not excite - the salmon was a pate, but there was nowhere near enough of it to spread over the five (I think) oatcakes. We tried cakes as well, but neither of us were too impressed, one was dry and the other was heavy and dense in the middle. Well short of the competition here I'm afraid!!The photography on display/for sale was really good, although again there were some distinctive styles and ideas that can already be seen in other galleries in Harris, particularly the black and whites. Still really excellent work though.This cafe's location to the north of Tarbert makes it a welcome addition to the area, but it would be great if they could forge their own identity a bit more!We'll certainly give it another try when we are next in the area later in the year.

This is set is a lovely location right on the main road. Food and service are really nice, scones are delicious and so fresh. The photography is quite outstanding.......don't miss this little gem....

Posto assolutamente da non perdere! Ci siamo stati durante l'attesa per il traghetto da Tarbert verso Skye e abbiamo pranzato deliziosamente con una zuppa e degli scones salati con formaggi e chutney. Per finire abbiamo preso anche un ottimo caffè e un muffin gustosissimo. Tutto rigorosamente fatto da loro. Il posto è incantevole e si affaccia su una baia bellissima. Il proprietario gentilissimo. Dentro una mostra fotografica con delle foto sulle Ebridi stupende. Un must per chi va a Tarbert!

What a gem of a place. Delightful hosts, super coffee and surrounded by wonderful pictures (we couldn't resist buying one). Highly recommended, quality establishment.

..... soup, views, service, coffee and photography. Visited after a cold, wet and very windy cycle from Leverburgh in desperate need of soup and coffee. All our needs were met. This is a super wee place.

Great views, very welcoming, excellent home made food (salmon pate was very good), creative photos and good advice on where to eat.Lovely introduction to Harris.

We first popped into Hebscape four days after it opened in June 2014, loved it but never got round to writing a review. We were excited to go back last week when visiting and we were delighted to find that it was just as good as our first visit.First of all, the building itself fits in well with Darren's art. Simple yet stunning. Chris and Darren (the owners) are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for either of them. Service is both efficient yet homely at the same time.The food is excellent. Good quality, good sized portions and very tasty. (Cakes, scones and soups are all home made).After our visit at the beginning of the week we decided on leaving Hebscape that we'd return before going back to the mainland. What a good decision that was! Not only was it as good as our previous two visits, Chris and Darren gave us an excellent tip for a restaurant on the island that we hadn't been to before.Fantastic place. Don't pass by without stopping!

This beautifully crafted building has wonderful views both inside and out. The photos are very well done and the food was exactly what we needed on a misty day. The seating was comfortable and I went on to buy a CD of the music playing, I liked it so much. Visiting here really made me feel like moving to the area. A truly inspirational, wonderful place to visit and recharge before heading outside to continue exploring.

Wonderful hot chocolate and cakes in a gorgeous location with cheery staff. The nearby beach is absolutely stunning. Bought a lovely candle shaped like a pebble and three prints. What's not to love!

What a lovely welcome you get at Hebscape from Chris and Darren. Darren's photography is stunning and the coffee, teas and superb cakes encourage an extended viewing! Be careful to keep a sharp eye out for the sign as we missed it the first time when looking for it, the sign is pretty but subtle. Be sure not to miss this wonderful stop wherever you're going as it's well worth a visit. The cakes and coffees are so good, I would suggest to the owners to offer free coffee and cakes to anyone buying a piece of work, then you'd make several return visits... and several purchases!

This is a newly opened café/art gallery that has only been in existence for 4 weeks. Its run by Chris and Darren who also live on the premises. There are many café/galleries of this type in the Islands and the competition is fairly stiff. We visited the café just because it is new and we like to support the local economy. Our first impression was how well designed the interior was. Clean, bright, modern and uncluttered. The artwork was well laid out and appealing. Chris is the cook and Darren does all the art work - superb, extremely well composed photographs of many of the local sights but uniquely done. The prices for large framed prints is very reasonable. The coffee (a Latte) was very well done - the equal of any high-end coffee shop in any city on the mainland. The cakes and almost everything else on the menu were home made (also very good). Chris and Darren are very welcoming, very knowledgeable about the Islands and very good hosts. I highly recommend the HebScape if you are in need of refreshment and appreciate expert photography, beautifully presented in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
