Laidhay Tearoom in Highland

Wir haben hier sowohl auf der Hinfahrt als auch auf der Rückfahrt zu Fähre auf/von den Orkneys einen kurzen Zwischenstopp und einen kleinen Imbiss eingenommen. Kaffee und Tee sind gut, ebenso die herzhaften und süßen Kleinigkeiten auf der Karte. Besonders lecker fand ich die schottische Fischsuppe (Cullen Skink), die ich auf der Rückfahrt gegessen habe. Eine sehr freundliche Bedienung muss ebenfalls hervorgehoben werden.

Qué lindo hallazgo inesperado La señora era tan amable y genuinamente interesado en charlar. La sopa Cullen skink era tan sabrosa y el pastel de lima y coco era increíble. Un montón de otros pasteles y un buen menú Entró en el museo después de lo cual fue muy interesante y solo £ 3. 00 Definitivamente volverá

Un lugar muy sencillo, casi se lo pierde, pero por suerte no lo hicimos. Panini con brie y arándano era encantador y mi pareja tuvo el desayuno escocés que realmente disfrutó. La señora que nos sirve era encantador.

Fue tan bueno que lo hicimos dos veces, en la ruta para coger el ferry de las Orcadas el día 5 paramos y la señora que sirve era tan amable y charlatán, nos hizo muy bienvenidos y el desayuno era delicioso, nos llevamos pasteles encantadores y algunos dulces caseros, nos preparó perfecto para nuestro viaje a las Orcadas, así que una semana después en nuestro regreso paramos de nuevo, saludo no era tan cálido (personal diferente) y el desayuno era un 9 / 10 esta vez, pero todavía muy bueno. Nos vemos el año que viene.

Recomiendo encarecidamente los deliciosos pasteles caseros horneados. Lamentablemente solo tienen café instantáneo pero los pasteles lo compensan

Lovely cake selection and teas served in pretty tea sets. Friendly efficient staff. Next to a fascinating crofter museum. Well worth visiting.

Tearoom incontrata nel tragitto verso Wick. Ottimo tè e ottima scelta dei dolci. Siamo rimasti particolarmente colpiti dalla pulizia dei servizi igienici e dalla gentilezza delle signore che la gestiscono. Complimenti!

super little tearoom next to the croft museum. Great selection of cakes , scones and hot food. Plenty of parking, next to the A9 . nice clean toilets

We stopped in on a rainy Sunday afternoon, and the place was full! But we didn't mind waiting, and it didn't take long before a table was available for us. We ordered a cuppa with a scone filled with cream and jam. It was perfect. There is a cabinet filled with home made sweets should one want to pick something up to eat elsewhere. And, there was a full menu, as most people were ordering soup along with a dinner option. Plenty to choose from, but also perfect for a sweet treat!

Made an unplanned visit to Laidhay on our way back from Wick, and I’m so glad we did! Lovely cakes and a delicious s’mores waffle filled us up, but what made the visit special was the service. Our wee boy was a bit unsettled and fussing, and the lovely lady serving us offered to take him to let me drink my coffee. She took him a wee wander to see the kitchen (always in our sight), which gave us a chance to throw back some coffee and cake - much appreciated for parents of a young baby! Exceptional service, will definitely be back.

Great, friendly staff great food full breakfast ample tea or coffee at a reasonable price would revisit next time we are in the area

Doesn’t look like much but very friendly and serves the best Cullen Skink I’ve had In years. Plenty of parking and clean loos!

Finally caught this place open having passed it multiple times. Was definitely worth the stop! Food was good & the coffee superb. We will definitely be bringing friends & family here when they visit us. Staff very attentive and helpful. Place spotless.

Busy little tearoom with friendly staff, served quickly for how busy it was. Homemade soup, Cullen Skink (which was delicious) sandwiches, baked potatoes with choice of fillings and great selection of homemade cakes and bakes etc and all at reasonable prices too. Will definitely return when next in area.

Leuke niets aan de hand koffietent, down to earth. Lekkere broodjes en gebak bij de koffie. Probeer ook de bumpy road koek eens bij de koffie. Die was lekker. Er is hier geen fancy koffie, alleen standaard zwart uit een pot. Schone en nette toiletten en heel aardig personeel.

Great cafe good prices there is a lot to do in the area . The breakfast is outstanding very well presented and non greasy highly recommended

We stopped in here on a whim... We are so glad we did! Staff were wonderful and friendly. The cakes were amazing! An information sheet on the tables said about a puffin colony very close by.. The wonderful lady working there told me exactly how to find it. The family took a look in the museum next door while I braved the rain. Wasn't disappointed, lots of puffins coming in to roost! Will be making sure we stop here anytime we visit the area!

Would highly recommend the Lhaidhay Tea Room. Excellent service and the food was amazing. Well worth the trip from Thurso.

Amazing food and service. Could not fault a thing. Don't just drive past, stop and enjoy the food and the views.

Spacious car park and a lovely selections of homemade cakes with hot and cold drinks. Perfect stopping point for anyone passing!

Was driving past and thought lunchtime, time for a spot of lunch. Very quiet and very clean and friendly. All food and cakes home cooked. Both of us decided on the Cullen Skink with a baked bread roll, it was absolutely fabulous, very tasty and very filling. All home made both myself and my wife enjoyed it. The whole menu sounded delicious. Once eaten I then had a fruit scone with butter and two types of jam. My wife had a piece Bakewell tart both home made, scone was the best I’ve tasted my wife said the bakewell tart was very nice. A nice pot of tea to finish. Can definitely recommend this tea room the two ladies were very attentive and extremely friendly. Not expensive. Also supports a local business and there’s a crafters museum attached. Well worth a drop in.

this place is a joy...teapot for tea plus free top up ...small bottles of milk...very clean...great very friendly quick service...the food was brilliant and salads inventive...big portions..I had the bacon and haggis baguette which was delicious..all food locally sourced...then huge ice cream and bananas pancakes portion...really good. would tell anyone about this restaurant.Youve got to stop here and try.

Small cafe/tea room with a small museum next to it. All home made cakes and slices. Also a selection of toasted sandwhiches and soup. Coffee was instant coffee but the charm of the place and cakes make up for it plus there is always tea if you want.

Excellent! Wonderful cream tea, best I’ve had in years. Service was great and friendly. Nice selection of cakes and treats, as well as jacket potatoes and sandwiches. Definitely worth a stop!

Well worth a visit. Stopped in for a cup of tea and ended up having the most delicious home made soups. Great selection of home baking.

We were on a 12 day tour of the northern Highlands and Orkney Islands. We stopped at this lovely little tearoom two times on our travels. Both times it was excellent. Everything is homemade by the ladies who run the tearoom (Sam, Janice, Kirsty and...

Fabulous Cullen Skink. Superb toasties. Lovely staff. Highly recommended. Just off the main road. Croft Museum also worth a quick visit.

Called here for a coffee on the way to catch the ferry to Orkney. Sadly only instant coffee and awful tea on offer The little museum was interesting though

This Tearoom enjoys an excellent location next to a Croft Museum. The Museum is excellent and worth a visit. The Tearoom is fine but lacks atmosphere I am afraid. The staff are ok but lack the welcome one would expect. We will be back to...

Stopped here for lunch on a very wet day on our way to John O'Groats. Staff were very helpful and the food was very good. They are well geared up for travellers, including gently providing plastic seat covers for dripping wet motorcyclists

A lovely pitstop that provides eat in or takeaway options. The coffee was lovely and the cakes delicious. Cullen skink was on the soup menu and looked very good. A very warm and friendly welcome and the lady who served us was keen to know...

Excellent tea room just off the main road. Delicious home made food, sandwiches and cakes. Friendly staff. A great place to stop on the NC500

This is a fantastic tearoom right beside the A9 and NC500, all the food is made on the premises - simple but tasty and filling. The home baking is to die for - a great selection to eat in or take away. If you are...

Brilliant, we are regular visitors, food is excellent, locally sourced and never a long wait time. They also do great take aways and cakes

Fantastic Cullen Skink and excellent home baking. A late lunch with the family en route home from Caithness, boring the kids with archaeological sites! Dog-friendly, with tables outside and an unbelievable view!

An excellent place to stop. Very clean throughout,staff are helpful without being intrusive. Generous portions and we didn't feel rushed. Will be back next season.

Stopped off on the way to John O'Groats at about 9.45am. A very well laid out tea room with (what I would call) proper tables and chairs. We were welcomed by a very pleasant lady who took our orders and had a wee chat with...

Stopped off here for lunch on our road trip & so glad we did. We had the soup & it was lovely. Great selection of food & cakes. Staff were all very friendly. Highly recommend.

First time at laidhay tea rooms.2 jacket potatoes with substantial fillings,2 coffees and 2 tray bakes.£21.30.Well worth the money.

stopped in when visiting the museum.staff very friendly. we had tea and cake which were lovely.wish we hadnt had lunch before going as the soup smelled amazing! definetly worth a stop for the view and the cakes x

Wonderful place to stop on the way up to John O’Groats. Fabulous food, friendly staff and reasonably priced. What more could you want on a gloriously sunny day?

Heading south in the fog, we drove past this tearoom before we noticed it, then decided to turn round and stop for a snack. The building doesn't look anything special from the outside but inside it is clean and cozy, and the staff pleasant and...

Absolutely great place! Delicious pannini's and homemade soup! Friendly staff and really nice and cosy atmosphere. Highly recommended

Stopped here whilst doing the NC500. Really nice tearoom. Very clean and good selection of hot and cold food and drinks. We didn't eat in as we have dogs but they were happy to do takeaway. Very helpful and friendly staff.

If your on the coast doing the NC500 this tearoom is a quaint cosy stop off with wonderful facilities and excellent service, would recommend. Would go again. 🙌👌

I stopped off here while touring the North Coast 500 and was glad to have found it. The whole place was spotlessly clean and the staff were really welcoming. I had the Cullen Skink which was terrific. Even the smell of it was enough to...

Excellent service and excellent food. Worker, young girl with dark brown platted hair and glasses was especially welcoming. Food very comforting, would definitely eat here again.

We stopped here after visiting Dunbeath Strath. We were delighted with the friendly staff and efficient and prompt service. Delighted that they have card payment facilities too. The food was absolutely delicious. The chicken noodle soup was very tasty as was the tuna mayo and...

A warm Highland welcome was extended to us as we entered the cafe. Waitress very accomodating with our needs. Breakfast was exceptional value for money at £7.75, still unsure about Scottish sausage.

Travelling the route 500 we stumbled across this little treasure. Very clean, very friendly and very good food.

We were stopping for morning coffee and left very glad we picked this cafe. The variety of nice home baking made choosing difficult. The scone was in my mind a perfect scone, the custard cream was so light and the bakewell tart was the best ever eaten. High praise. Service was friendly and cafe felt safe and covid friendly. Only negative for 2 of us was coffee wasn't fresh ground but in saying that they still said it was good. Bonus was being told where the puffins were in the cliffs behind and they had already arrived to mate.

The wife and I dropped in here on our north coast 500 tour. First stop was the toilets. They were spotless. We didn't wait long to have our order taken. I opted for my favourite cullen skink soup followed by a cheese and onion toastie. The wife had a gluten free cake with decaff coffee and bought a coconut gluten free cake to take away. The surroundings were very fresh and spotless throughout. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Would recommend this tearoom to anyone and will return.

We were on our way to John O Groats when we came across this tea room so we thought we would give it a go. Bacon Butties and coffee all round and the butties were wonderful. Very quick service and fresh food. If you have the time you can visit the Croft next door.

Food was pleasant and tea was good. Nice atmosphere and nice staff. Good to take a break and visit the museum.

Our group of 13 popped in to the tearoom for a bite of lunch. The poor women who were working looked a bit panicked when we came in, but we promised we weren't in any hurry at all and it all worked out. Everyone loved the food! I had an amazing soup! All the cakes are homemade and so delicious! We loved our time here!

Stumbled upon this little place when travelling from Shropshire to Orkney in our motorhome. Lovely fresh coffee and cakes. Will definitely stop on this way back - a great friendly tea room.

We come here every year on our journey up North to the Orkney islands. We love it here. Tea, coffee, food and staff are all really nice and lovely! We highly recommend everyone to come for a visit. There is also a museum on site for anyone looking for historical places well worth a visit

This is an excellent cafe where there is always a welcome and the food is delightful. My husband had Cullen Skink soup and he said it was one of the best plates of soup he has tasted. The staff are very friendly and service is great. The toasties are great.

Such a lovely friendly place to stop after a long drive. Great menu and yummy cakes. Very clean and spacious.

A wonderful lunch stop on the way north. We had soup and a sandwich that was the perfect lunch on a nippy day. The servers were delightful and friendly. It was a real pleasure.

Served by two lovely smiling ladies a full Scottish breakfast with tea including in the price massive carpark to swing our caravan round in highly recommend

A lovely bacon butties and cup of tea on the way to the scrabster ferry. Freshly made and just the job!

Stopped here on our motorbikes whilst riding the NC500. Lucky to get here not long before they closed. Two lovely ladies produced the BEST tea and cakes. Very friendly - lovely spot.

We were on the North Coast 500, and being a Sunday were struggling to find somewhere that was open.

My cousin and myself were doing the North Coast 500 route and came across this little gem. Both of the ladies that work there were friendly one even came from near our home town. We had the Scottish breakfast and it was lovely. I would definitely recommend it. And I would be going back at some point.

We had been traveling for a couple of hours when we spotted this little place it was a welcome relief on our trek the tea was excellent and a choice of cakes and toasties hit the spot

Stopped here for a wonderful bacon and egg roll - totally delicious- piping hot and excellent quality ingredients. The tea was excellent too.

we visited here for lunch whilst visiting oue daughter and family during the easter holidays. Had a lovely snack and the cakes went down very well. It was all well presented will definitely visit again when we are back up to visit. The two grandchildren aged 5 loved the wallpaper.

We stopped here on our way from Taunton to Orkney. Lovely welcome, delicious breakfasts, did me a veggie version because I'm awkward. Rob had a normal one. Lovely. The ladies are great fun, such a treat to come here. We stopped on the way back too. We bought cakes to eat later en route. Rob loved the fruit tart and the banana loaf, I had a pecan slice and a roll slice. Oh, they were sooooo good. Thank you ladies.

Great wee place for a visit. Lovely bacon rolls, soups, snacks, cakes, and drinks, Some great sea views

Very friendly staff (great hair colors too), lovely place with a great view of the ocean. Food was very tasty including the tea and coffee. Wallpaper is a bit noisy but thats just an opinion.

The staff are very friendly and the coffee very good Plenty of parking and a museum on site which is also worth a visit

Food was delicious. We were made to feel very welcome by the cheery assistant. Would definitely recommend this place.

This lovely cafe makes you most welcome and the food they serve is delicious. On the way up we had the lovely scones but on the way back we had the Cullen Skink which my husband said was the best he had tasted ever.The toasties with lots of choices were also great.

We stopped off here on the way to John O’Groats as the eldest was feeling a bit car sick. The kids absolutely loved the ladies ‘unicorn hair’.

Our tour bus stopped for a prearranged lunch about half way on a long day's ride. The ladies at the tea room had everything set and ready for our group of 40. The food was terrific, and the home baked items were superb. The service was outstanding too.

On the way to John O'Groats, this is an ideal point to stop for a coffee or lunch. Nice environment and warm welcome atmosphere. Homemade food.

What a little gem...we were lucky to stop at these wonderful Tea rooms.

Stopped on way to Thurso as heard lots of good things. We had a scone and custard cream which were braw, best bit was real fresh cream on hot choc. Decent prices

we have stopped at this tea room many times on our way to John O'Groats and have never been disappointed.the home baking is generous and delicious and the ladies who run it are lovely and friendly.

Popped in for a quick coffee and received a lovely welcome from the two ladies in the tea room. They made a delicious coffee and toasty which was reasonably priced, gave us water for the dog and chatted happily about our travels. Would definitely recommend

HIGHLAND CROFTERS AND CREAM TEAS PLEASE

Friendly, smiling faces, a warm welcome and nourishing home made food at fair prices - what more could you want?

Amazing homemade soup ...not to mention the home made meringues tray bakes , cupcakes OMG !! .the staff were very friendly .views are stunning well worth a stop going up or down the A9

We came across this place on the way up to Gills Bay ferry for Orkney. Very welcoming with tasty cakes. We called again on the way back. You have to a a careful look out on the twisting roads. It is next to the thatched barn that is part of the museum. Has a big car park

Great place..home made food. Everything is delicious...large helpings. Great staff. Great location to serve the traveller.

Came across this lovely tearoom on our way home from Orkney a couple of weeks ago after failing to find anywhere open in Thurso ... so glad we did though!

Stoped for breakfast and was a great decision. We had a full breakfast and it was cooked to perfection and was delicious. On speaking with the staff we found out the ingredients are locally sourced and the eggs are fresh free range. Lovely orange yolk.

This cafe is amazing and we cannot rate it highly enough! We have been stopping here on our way to dancing competitions up north for 6 years now.

Stopped in need of a comfort break. Found this place by chance. First thing we noticed was clean it was. We had home made scones which are delicious and chatted for ages with the friendly staff. We will call in Gain on the way home

Not much to look at from outside but the food and service is fantastic ! A tearoom next to the crofting museum on the main A9 south of Wick. We have stopped several times on our way north. Bacon rolls and breakfasts are fantastic as are the home bakes and meringues ! Clean and tidy, helpful staff and great food, recommend stopping here !

What a great place to stop for a bite to eat. Heaps of bacon in the bacon rolls, great hot soups and fancy cakes which taste as good as they look. Staff are amazing too.

We stopped here after taking the Orkney crossing and had a long drive ahead. Freshly prepared snacks and the bacon roll we had was stacked with an extremely generous amount of bacon.

We stopped here for breakfast on the way to the orkney ferry ,and I'm glad we did ,the breakfast was lovely as were the two ladies serving and running the place .the cakes in the cabinet looked amazing although I didn't eat any ! Good food at a good price served by two lovely ladies who were so much fun !please head for here if you are passing !

This is a very friendly cafe. They do breakfast rolls,homemade soup,scones,theirhome baking is delicious. It is very well run and lovely and clean. Well worth a visit we have been several times and never been disappointed.

We pitched up here, dripping wet and despite this we got the friendliest of welcomes. The ladies were great help...

Íbamos en bicicleta en un día húmedo y encontré este café en el momento. Panecillos recién mañana, tocino, huevos y salchichas. Servicio con una sonrisa revitalizado nuestro espíritu antes de volver a nuestras bicicletas para los próximos 30 Km.
