Well done staff ! 👏

This cafe is excellent for Coeliacs. I had confidence that the staff understood GF requirements and cross contamination risk. Staff were friendly and helpful. Menu is simple standard fare (burgers, chips, sandwiches, cakes, etc.). Orientated towards families and visitors to the Country Park. Stunning views over the Forth Valley, Pentlands and West Lothian.

Best scone I’ve had in a long time (Bakewell tart scone?) - and amazing jam too! Sat outside as no dogs allowed in the cafe. Great views 🌄

Plenty of staff and very attentive and friendly. Toilets clean. Good selection of hot and cold drinks. We had a lovely day here so I opted for a cherry slush which came in a huge cup. The scone was amazing too, fresh and tasty. Seating indoors and outdoors.

Beyond helpful, and great service. Always helpful. Staff always cheerful. First class service. Ur customer is isolated and loves coming up to Beecraigs Hideaway. Thanks!

3rd time I've been to this cafe when mountain biking round beecraigs park and 3rd time the service has been immense. I am coeliac and the options, staff awareness and quality of food is just great, all staff go out of that way to make you feel at ease and there are gluten free awards all over the walls, it really is a safe haven for coeliac sufferers, that said even if your not coeliac then this this is still great place to eat when you visit beecraigs, 5 stars as round they're doing a great job here and I'll be back every time we are in the area.

What a wonderful surprise to walk in and see a whole fridge of GF options. Staff took coeliac v seriously, took my GF order first, made my chips in a separate frier and made me feel so confident eating here. The whole menu can be made GF which is just WONDERFUL! Friendly and accommodating staff too. Perfect for kids as there’s plenty of running around space outside. Would go back here in a heartbeat!

My husband has coeliac disease, so eating out is always tricky but being greeted with 'Does anyone have any allergies' was like music to our ears. We felt very comfortable ordering and felt very safe. They also had vegan options for me. Very inclusive and friendly staff. Beecraigs itself is a lovely country park, despite the rain we had a great walk through the woods after our meal and the kids had a play in the playground.

Nice wee friendly cafe, offering standard toasties and baked potatoes with a lovely side salad and the option to add soup. Dogs not allowed. Very reasonably priced and seemed very toddler friendly.

We have just completed a 3-night stay at Beecraigs park so we visited the Hideaway cafe. As a coeliac, I have always been cautious when eating out but this cafe is excellent. Everything on the menu could be GF. Food for GFs prepared separately, delivered separately with separate annotated cutlery. Chef in different apron. Chips cooked in separate fryer and so delicious too! The staff are friendly and helpful - thank you for such consideration. I have never eaten quality food with such confidence. Best experience ever for me!

Nice place in great location with superb views. The scone I had was definitely the best ever, clearly home made and the size was XXL. Worth going solely for the scone. Very friendly and helpful staff. 4 out of 5 stars because there are not many tables to sit at so had to take food out.

From lovely walks and a deer farm a play park and the most scenic views this cafe has the best location, but it doesn’t stop there! They have a small menu but everything on it is made well, fresh and to the highest standard, even a simple sandwich is a delicious masterpiece. We’re vegetarians and they cater well for us with the tastiest vegetarian options! The staff are always so accommodating and polite, and the prices are so reasonable! Fun day out which can start or end with a visit to this cafe, you won’t be disappointed Yum!!!!

We stopped here for a bite to eat after a walk round the country park and I am so glad we did. They cater for allergies, the entire menu can be made gluten free which is a first and they have dairy free ice cream. The staff were so helpful and friendly. We absolutely would come back here.

Stopped here for lunch and delighted to see they are great for GF. Good selection of options on the menu and also have Some GF cakes including a cheesecake! All very tasty and in a lovely location at Beecraigs with friendly staff.

What a pleasure it was to be served by such pleasant and helpful staff. We enjoyed our coffee and sandwich and look forward to our next visit.

As founder member of the Forth Valley Scone Rangers, my colleague and I scour Central Scotland in search of the perfect scone. Look no further. They are made in situ, fresh daily and they are without doubt the best scones I’ve come across in this...

Good service and location and the cook makes the best egg and bacon roll - I like my bacon very well done. Crispy bacon, eggs - yoke soft...yumm

My wife and eye dropped in today. We were very happy with the service and quality of the food. And of course my wife had to finish off with ice cream and flake. Which she refused to share. A great little cafe to drop into...

Perfect lunch after visiting the animals, walking around the loch and playing at the park I had 2 very hungry kids and decided to have a bot to eat. The kids chicken nuggets were fantastic served with big crispy chips that were fluffy on the...

Can't recommend this place highly enough. My husband is gluten free and there was plenty of choice along with a dedicated fridge with just gluten free items. We had a burger and baked potato along with two cakes and they were both so good and...

Went for a late breakfast, there's plenty of outdoor seating and a reasonable amount indoors. The cafe is in Beecraigs country park, so there's plenty of amazing views and nice places to sit all around. The car park is a decent size and we had...

Great setting with fantastic views, in good weather, plenty of outside seating. Not a extensive menu. Disabled access but only 3 bays two others have been comandeered for staff. I believe that could be a problem if busy. Toastie and baked potato took a inordinate...

Thank you Hideaway Cafe Beecraig National Park. I have never felt so catered for as someone who must avoid gluten. I could choose anything from the menu and know that a gluten free version was available. Including haggis!! A member of staff is assigned each...

We sat outside on the benches at the Beecraigs Visitor Centre and used the services of The Hideaway Cafe. It's an excellent cafe and offers a good range of food, drinks, ice cream and Gluten Free products. The food really is 1st class as is...

Best service ever from Paul and the team. Delicious bacon rolls after a run on the trails and always a happy smiley face to serve us! Paul kindly gave my dog some sausages for his birthday so an extra special thank you from Bronn. We’ll...

We decided to have a snack lunch at the Hideaway cafe today as it has been a long time since we were there. We thought we would go early to avoid the lunch time crowd. The outside of the cafe was filled with families enjoying...

Was impressed with the range of vegetarian options available - I was spoiled for choice! I ordered the veggie haggis toastie, and it was very tasty. The atmosphere in there is lovely - very laid back, very clean and light, and with lovely views. I'm...

Amazing little cafe tucked away in the country park. Caters brilliantly for vegans and vegetarians. Great food options, lots of hot and cold drinks, cakes, icecream... the full works!

The guy who runs this place has got it sorted. Everything is cooked/ made fresh by the unbelievably cheery crew including the kids box sandwiches. There are pots and pans on the stove making fresh food, yet the price is really good. To quote,its a...

We arrived today and the queen was very long the staff were organised and very good at catering for everyone and not just our own party. Buzzers to alert us when our table was ready and friendly staff with our table ready. Good simple food...

New years day. You would expect there to be things out if stock as shops are closed. NOPE not only was the cafe open but fully stocked. Absolutely fabulous as usual. Thanks guys

Visited here for first time at weekend (having been to Beecraigs restaurant many times a long time ago). Breakfasts were excellent, service was top notch and prices were good. A great cup of coffee too. Fantastic work.

Very nice food & warm atmosphere Would definitely visit again if in Beecraigs but not enough choice to tempt me to travel there Staff friendly & welcoming Cakes not very tempting

Just back from the hideaway cafe at beecraigs.had gluten free toastie cheese and onion and would highly recommend to make the trip up to beecraigs and enjoy a very good meal

Decided to visit the hideaway cafe today for lunch. We had toasties with salad and soup and scone. The scones were huge I wonder why they bake them so large. Anyway everything was lovely and served efficiently and very friendly. It is a busy cafe...

Our son has a dairy allergy. The Hideaway Cafe at Beecraigs is one of the best places we have visited that can cater for his needs. The whole of the kids menu can be made dairy free. Every time we have ordered something dairy free...

Fantastic menu and everything can be made gluten free. The staff were all really friendly and very aware of the needs of a coeliac, everything was cooked separately and I was even given my own gluten free basket of condiments. I had a breakfast roll...

Used this for carry out lunch a few days whilst staying in the caravan park. The home made soup fairly warmed the belly and it was a wee itemised menu

Recently visited this cafe and will be quick to return. It was busy when I entered but that didn’t stop manage Paul being quick to welcome me. After a short wait we were seated. All staff members are extremely friendly and provide great service with...

Me and my boyfriend attended today at Beecraigs country Park and was very impressed with the gluten-free options very good service

Located at the visitor centre, same building and entrance, the cafe is nice and warm, always busy. This time we stopped there just for a coffee, after parked the car and before starting the walk to the lake. Very friendly and kind staff, good and...

Really nice, friendly place. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. I had an amazing vegan burger made from scratch with vegan cheese. They had 3 plant milks to choose from. Also had vegan cakes and biscuits. Lots of choice for non vegans too.

We visit here a lot , scones are amazing, staff very friendly and the place is spotless. We are looking forward to our full breakfast next week .

Can hardly believe the selection of eats in this cafe, the cakes are incredible as are the scones, all home baking too, can’t come to Beecraigs without a stop off , lovely staff

We live locally and it’s really nice to have a place like this in an area where we have enjoyed walking for a long time.Beecraigs a gem. Food is good and freshly prepared,probably the reason for poor reviews re hungry kids and queues.I was there...

Today we queued for 20 minutes with hungry kids to order our lunch. When we got to the front of the queue the lady told us that they had over 30 checks and couldn’t take any more food orders. I said I wished someone had...

Friendly staff, spotlessly clean, caterers well for allergies. All food is amazing and the coffee is very special. Jackie's scones are fabulous . Beautiful views so perfect place to stop after a walk.

It is extremely rare to find somewhere that has totally nailed the allergy diet but this restaurant has. 100% of the menu is available dairy and gluten free, the staff are meticulous to a fault about getting it correct and the food is exceptional. This...

We were in the area for a meeting and tried the café for coffee and breakfast rolls. They were not due to open until 9.30 but came in early to cater for us. Great service. The Lorne sausage roll was fantastic and the cooked breakfasts...

Our daughter who is 6 is coeliac. She is so used to going places and having no choice on the menu. Not here. Fantastic place. The whole menu was gf. She was so happy. Lovely staff. We will be back

Have been to this restaurant several times and was there again today. Had a very tasty and gluten free full Scottish breakfast, cannot praise this restaurant enough for all they are doing for coeliacs. I myself was registered coeliac 30 years ago and so have...

Came here for breakfast a couple of weeks ago and it was excellent. Food cooked really nicely and great portion served by friendly staff. Try the Scottish breakfast -you won't regret it!! and it will keep you going all day

This is an amazing cafe. Everything available GF if required, plus freshly baked GF cakes and scones which are amazing . Well worth a visit

We took my niece who is gluten-free. Little did we know this cafe is especially set-up to cater for the gluten-free customer, with everything on the menu having a G-F counterpart. They take their GF accreditation seriously, even putting the GF kiddies meal-deal food in...

Clean cafe, the staff were polite and friendly. Clean bathrooms. Small play area for young kids. Very small free carpark..

Lovely well cooked food, childrens menu just right and can recommend the mushroom soup and fruit scones!

I’ve been a regular visitor since the cafe opened. As someone with Coeliac disease finding a place to eat out that that caters for my dietary requirements is hard. No more! Not only is the cafe set in stunning surroundings with plenty of forest trails...

Went in to this cafe while we were in Beecraigs Country Park. My daughter is Coeliac so we were unsure if they would have anything for her..Absolutely amazed to find that it does 100% Gluten Free, including separate kitchen area just for Gluten Free. My...

Always made very welcome at this cafe with splendid views! Soups, sandwiches, baked potatoes and more, though the highlight has to be the large homemade scones, just lovely.

I visited this lovely wee cafe in May of 2018, situated in the visitor centre of Beecraigs country park. I ordered a roll with vegetarian sausage and my Sister ordered a roll with vegetarian haggis. The food was excellent, cooked well, and also well presented....

Excellent food and drinks (soya milk, delicious vegan cakes!), very friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful views.

Great day here , plenty to keep young families or animal lovers happy , cafe is clean and well stocked , lovely home baking and good coffee , great cycle/ walking paths surround the area .

It was obvious on this visit that the staff just couldn’t wait to finish work; chairs were being put up on the tables - we felt very unwelcome and won’t be back. What a pity because potentially this place could be a gold mine -...

We visit often when out walking. Quality of food and coffee is very good. Setting is superb. Staff very friendly and welcoming.

The owners have a good chocie of drinks and snacks at reasonable prices. The inside space is pleasant, with modern tables & chairs, but tends to echo if a number of people are in. There are gifts and tourist information available in the other part...

Would highly recommend a visit to this little treasure. Staff attentive . home made food excellent , prices are very good . Would highly recommend a visit .

A great place for a bite to eat. The place has nice big windows to make the most of the view. Nice friendly staff.

Indoor and Outdoor seating nice little park, parking and clean toilets. The food portion sizes were good and the burger (which the staff recommended) was very nice. The staff are lovely, and helpful. I will definitely go back.
