Landour Bakehouse in Highland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Nice, clean bakery with good food, cheerful decor and friendly staff. Great restroom.we had a great experience there.

Easy to reach. The cakes were fine, the interior was dirty, nobody cleaned the tables after the guests were gone. They serve Cheap Teas in carton cup for a high price. Staff were not really friendly.

Very disappointed. Looks good from the road & inside, but baguettes were very stale. At this price expected fresh, good quality food. To top it all, fruit scones were served with marmalade and no this is not a Scottish thing!

The building looks inviting from the road and the Interior is nice too. Only wanting a hot drink and sandwich each, we each decided on a Smoked Salmon and Cream cheese baguette and Coffee costing over £22. The Baguette was stodgy , it tasted like it had been kept in a fridge for a couple of days and the salmon tasted metallic and spoiled. The coffee was both weak and tasteless. We both had to drink lots of water on the drive to Oban to get rid of the taste of the salmon. The washroom was not what I expected, a unhygienic shower hose to spray your backside with water going everywhere should you be brave enough to try, I most certainly would not. We will most definitely never visit this place again.

We stopped here hoping to get a cup of tea/coffee and a cake but we were really disappointed. I stood at the counter whilst a member of staff made coffees and totally ignored me, though she knew we were there, not once did she acknowledge me. And she was splitting open coffee bags to put in a coffee machine filter which I found odd, surely grinding beans is more efficient, eco-friendly and tasty too. After a few minutes of being ignored we left.

Called in here on our way back from Skye. Super coffee and very friendly staff. The atmosphere was very good and there were some amusing sayings hanging on the walls.

I think the bad reviews have sparked changes.. we visited and had nothing but a lovely experience - left feeling really confused for the poor reviews. The girl behind the counter was lovely, polite and helpful. Cakes were 10/10, coffee (the flat white especially) was 10/10 - coming from coffee connoisseurs!! The venue and setting were tasteful. Would visit again.

Unfriendly abrupt and rude man served us, clearly did not like people. Weak coffee. Ham and cheese toastie made from cheapest of ingredients leaving a horrible synthetic after taste and the soup was tasteless. Served on takeaway plates and cups. Horrible experience and will never go back.

Oh dear, the man behind the counter must really hate his job and working with people, in fact he seemed angry! How on earth did he get a job there? Such a shame, we talked about his behaviour for about 2 hours after leaving! This is a gorgeous tea room, tastefully decorated and a beautiful location. Food, tea and coffee we couldn’t fault. Definitely won’t be back.

Great spot for stopover on the way to skye or Inverness. Good coffee and selection of bakery items . Must visit . Clean toilets and friendly service

Good coffee, good scones, good toasties, served up quickly and pleasantly by an overworked yet competent young man - our hearts went out to him

Two sandwiches, made with cheap white bread, toasted, on paper plates, two coffees, paper cups, no napkins. £21. Lovely setting and surroundings but would never return.

Avoid at all costs. Beware of cold coffee, served in paper cups, lukewarm soup served in paper bowl with a wooden teaspoon to eat it with. Small slice of yesterday’s bread, accompanied by small butter and wooden knife!! As for the prices, at least Jack Turpin wore a mask!!!

While on a tour of Scotland, we stopped at this little restaurant, and what a treat it was! I love to bake, and what a selection of delicious and gorgeous baked goods they had to chose from! My husband and I had delicious chicken salad sandwiches for lunch, and I picked a Florentine tart for dessert, which was absolutely incredible. Everything was so tasty, and the two gals behind the counter were friendly, efficient, and handled the crowd that descended on them so well! I learned that one gal was currently student, and one had just graduated from college, and this cafe is out in the middle of nowhere- just beautiful countryside! We had a wonderful experience here, and I highly recommend stopping. By the way, they also have very spacious, clean bathrooms, so stop by!

Cute coffee shop with a fabulous view. Excellent selection of cakes and pastries. The scottish bread pudding was warm and delicious, coffee was good. Staff were very polite, friendly and efficient. Prices a bit high, but this lovely place is in the middle of nowhere, so not surprising really. I’d definitely stop here again.

Came here recently for lunch on the way to Fort William. The staff were friendly, the food and drink all tasted great, and prices were fairly reasonable. Having said that, it sounds like we were lucky, as our experience seems to be contrary to most of the other experiences on here.

Dreadful. Very overpriced. Rude staff who clearly were not interested in serving you. A customer was complaining about a sandwich that they had bought, manager dealt with it with no grace or apology. Drive past!

This was the most expensive and disappointing coffee I’ve ever had, at £4.20 we expected a large coffee but what we got was a small very milky weak coffee served in a disposable cup. The tables were dirty and the staff unfriendly. Cakes and snacks looked ok but again very expensive.

Truly dreadful experience. No welcome, given a damp cloth by a moody guy behind the counter (to wipe our own table!). £4.20 minimum price for warm, tasteless liquid (coffee coloured). Cardboard cups & wooden spoons is simply not good enough - should be proper mugs & cups in such a place. Toilets were not cleaned. Been a couple of times here, but it’s now become a rip off for tourists. Will keep driving next time for decent coffee & genuine home baking in Kyle or back on Skye. What a shame!

Ridiculously expensive 12 quid for a couple of sliced bread sarnies .6 quid for a coke. Forget it.

Nice looking building decided to stop on the way home for a coffee Paper cups and wooden cutlery not great and cakes were mediocre but high price won't stop again 😭😭😭

This place is the opposite to the Cluaine Inn. We decided to take a pack up with us for a day out. My wife asked for a chicken salad roll but was told she could only have a sandwich. So she ordered chicken salad sandwich, I ordered cheese and ham sandwich. We also ordered 2 scones with butter and strawberry jam on them. We were handed the packages and a box. Upon opening further up the road on the way home my wifes chicken salad was sliced bread with the crust cut off making it quite small but we are still not sure what the filling was. Our chicken salad consists of sliced chicken, lettuce, cucumber, tomato and mayo. This was choped chicken in a white paste with green bits in it and it tasted hot/spicy.£5 Didnt eat it. My cheese and ham was bread with crust on but one side of the bread had been toasted. Wasnt very appetising. £5 Next on the dish 2 scones with butter and strawberry jam. Upon opening the box we got 2 scones, 2 packs of butter and 2 packs of strawberry jam. ( No knife) £5. I know should have gone to Aldi. Could have got all of this for a £5.

A pit stop on the way home after a lovely holiday in skye…so many nice coffee stops there that I’m a bit stunned by how dreadful this place is. Just paid £20 for yesterday’s dry scones and watered down coffee…please avoid this place and save your pennies for somewhere with a better cuppa and a clean loo! Feel utterly ripped off, not least cos you could’ve knitted a jumper out of the pubic hair/stoor/cobwebs to be found around the sink in the outside toilet…never mind the broon cludgie! Eek! Avoid!

My husband bought a croissant, cookie and scone from here. The only scones that weren't burned were the plain ones. One bite of each and they all went in the garbage. Don't waste your time or money. Such a disappointment.

This is a tourist trap. Very expensive. Paper/wooden/plastic cutlery. Keep driving dont stop.the toilet was filthy too. Thick dust on the china. Also smelt badly. Eat in Kyle or Inverness. I have people profiting on tourism in the highlands.

We have been stopping off at Cluanie Inn on our travels for nearly 50 years so when we stopped off yesterday morning for a coffee, we were directed to a building across the road. There was a chilled counter filled with various pastries, sandwiches and...

I hate to write bad reviews, look at my profile I like just to be honest. Avoid this place, I am regularly on this road and often thought it looked good, but seriously very pathetic food at stupid price. I am sure the owner will...

I enjoyed the lovely interior of this cafe cabin The sumptuous Strawberry cheesecake and hot chocolate with toppings left me happily bouncing along the rest of the day :) I also took a peanut butter & choc chip take out for supper later, it's so...

Stopped off for coffee and a sweet treat Cakes looked delicious but did not taste home made. Coffee not great and milk in plastic pods served on paper plates on grubby tables. Building beautiful and fun

A lovely building which has a very interesting decor. Selection of cakes, pastries and savoury snack is amazing. A good selection of teas and coffees. Service was first class. Presentation of food was beautiful and one of the best I have seen during our tour...

Stopped here for coffees along our NC500 drive and ended up with being tempted by the treats they had on display. Honestly be best pastries, cake, toasties and coffee we've had so far. Although the prices are on the higher side (£4 for a hot...

Popped in for something warm after a morning along the North Sheil ridge in wind and rain. Most expensive bowl of watery, tasteless soup I have ever had, served in paper bowls, measly portion of dry bread served on polystyrene plates and paper cups for...

We stopped by to grab a coffee and snack but just took out one small coffee and a chocolate éclair (that managed to taste bland!) when we saw this place's attitude to the tourists it presumably relies on. £2.50 for an inch and a half...

Stopped to pick up a takeaway lunch.Nice clean looking place with good surroundings.However these price's are an embarrassment to Scotland.The quality of the sandwiches and bakery is very poor.

Stopped for a cheeky loo break but then got tempted by the crazy range of baked goods! Picked up croissants for next day's breakfast. Sooo delicious! (And the loos were great too)

On a long journey from Skye to Inverness this was a welcome stop. Dog friendly, good parking and toilets. Yes it was all disposable cups and plates, let's hope they recycle. Range of pasties, couple of sarnies and hot soup. Some unusual touches such as...

This place has great potential, but is such a disappointment. The building and decor are good, there is easy parking, and Cluanie Inn (to which Landour Bakehouse is an addition) has been a place to stop half-way between Skye and Fort William or Inverness for...

This place is ideally situated for a stop on route to or from Skye, but avoid it if you can. The service is far from the usual Scottish welcome expected, service is cafeteria style not the welcoming “tea shop” approach you would hope for. Food...

This is a great little place to stop in the middle of nowhere. The car park is very big which i can imagine comes in handy in the busy months. The bake house is set in beautiful scenery. They offer a selection of hot and...

We pass through this incredible area of wilderness regularly and were so delighted to hear about the new bakehouse and set about trying it. We have done so 3 times and each time it really is utterly disgraceful. I think we are resigned not to...

Spotted the Bakehouse on route to a Fort William so dropped in for a coffee. Great service Great coffee Great pastries 👍🏼 enough said

We stopped for lunch and the food and price was diabolical. £3.00 for a small paper cup of tea. Toasties were terrible not even a piece of tomato or lettuce, just tasteless cheese and ham and to cap it all the scone was inedible. This...

I agree with the recent previous reviewers that this place is well overpriced and served in paper cups. Selection of pastries is amazing but likely to be stale as not enough passing trade at this time of year. They will learn as they will not...

A triumph of style over substance. The building and decor is appealing and it’s a fine remote location. However, the steak bakes and lamb samosas which looked appetising were just microwaved to become merely warm and soggy. Soup and tea arrived in paper cups/bowl; not...

Very expensive food. Small hot chocolate £4 and £3 for a can of pop, not even given a glass or ice! What really ground my gears was that everything was served (even though we were eating in) on disposable plates and cups and with a...

Sold sandwiches made from what looked like supermarket bread at extortionate prices and which were inedible 2 hours later! Absolutely poor value - could have got hot food at the Castle half an hour down the road. AVOID!

Great food and coffee (although small), ridiculous prices and grumpy staff. Fast food feel as totally rushed by an impatient cashier. Not fast food prices! Unisex toilets were filthy with a broken tap so no hot water, no soap and toilet and floor soaked 🙈...

£25 for one drink and snack each for a family of 4. My son ordered the churros and the were completely rock solid so guess they were not fresh. My son couldn’t eat them. Complete waste of money.

As other reviews state, both here and elsewhere on the internet, this place offers horrendous value for mediocre or bad drink and food. They do this with the short-sighted belief that tourists in the middle of nowhere can and should be ripped off. The problem...

Clean toilets, plenty of parking, quick service and even managed to get vegan options (oat milk latte and vegan blueberry croissant) all the way out here. The croissants were warmed up for us and delicious. A little expensive. Stunning view. Loved how everything was clearly...

We stopped on the way bake from Skye and bought Coffees and scones. The coffees were lovely but the scones were stale. We asked to return them and were refused. No alternatives offered. No refund given so I would avoid this restaurant and travel onto...

Stopped off on the way back from Skye for a takeaway cappucino and a cheese scone. First impressions were good but the cheese scone was stale and broke into tiny pieces when trying to spread the butter, which was straight from the fridge. Gave up...

We stopped for a takeaway coffee and scone. The coffees were priced at £3.50 for a cappuccino, and were nice but absolutely tiny for the price. The cheese scones were as dry as a bone, seemingly not ‘bake house’ fresh, but old scones from a...

Stopped here for a coffee stop and never expected such a fantastic selection of cakes! Delicious, nice decor, ample parking and whole family was impressed. Recommended!

Stopped off here on way back from Skye. Lovely setting. Bought a small pastry to take out. At first I thought the price was a mistake. It was £4 which is ridiculous. There is no justification for that price apart from to over charge tourists....

Stopped here and asked for a bowl of soup. Lukewarm soup in a large ice cream tub with plastic spoon, no roll or bread = £5.50. Everything served in paper or plastic disposable crap. One woman on register. No social distancing whatsoever. No fresh milk...

This place excels in the niche category of cuisine that consists of extremely stale croissants and cold toasties. It’s actually impressive how the filling of a toastie can be that cold.. great idea to have a cafe in this location but incredibly poorly executed. Then...

Nice selection of cakes and sandwiches. Shame the service was so poor. Surprisingly poor service from a company which wanted to improve service in Scotland. Was very quiet and when our toasted sandwiches weren’t heated enough to melt the cheese it appeared this disrupted the...

Lovely samosa. Himalayan Cookies are delicious. Staff were very patient with large group of people who ordered separately and asked lots of questions about the food. Clean loos. Good place to stop on your travels.

We had a lovely lunch at the Landour Bakehouse, really tasty lamb samosas and tuna melt panini. Spotlessly clean, friendly staff and a great selection to choose from. Will definitely use it in future when travelling up to Skye

Opened in late spring 2021, serves delicious handmade cakes and sandwiches in a mountain-style café. On the A87, at the western end of Loch Cluanie, in an idyllic setting, miles from anywhere. Charming service, matched by dramatic views of the Highlands in Glen Shiel.
