Il miglior ristorante del mio viaggio in Scozia. Cibo ricercato, materie prime di grande qualità, presentazione ottima e servizio impeccabile. Cortesia e qualità al giusto prezzo, con la possibilità di degustare specialità locali. Assolutamente consigliato. abbiamo pernotatto al b&b al piano superiore ed è altrettanto curato.

Fresh produce, excellent execution: someone in the kitchen really knows what they are doing. The scallops with black pudding and chorizo were a particular highlight. The owners are super welcoming and were really sweet to my father, whose birthday it was. Nice vibe and somewhere you could go equally with a bunch of friends, or for dinner as a couple, or with family. 100% recommend.

Booked in, in advance whilst schlepping round the NC767 on two wheels solo. The reviews of this somewhat spartan little eatery promised much. And whilst the food was, from memory, perfectly OK, I struggle to recall anything notable about either the environment, the service or the food. Please understand, that is not to say it disappointed - it absolutely didn’t. It simply didn’t quite live up to my expectations borne of the other rave reviews. I do recall feeling a little flat afterward (probably I was expecting more given the other rave reviews) but I also recall that the food was well cooked, tasty and served promptly. But no “wow” factor. Scotland and the West Coast in particular has some stunning produce to offer. In the case of this little eatery I found that my meal was nothing too memorable but certainly a worthwhile stopover when transiting the NC and in a setting like Lochcarron the views are a force multiplier. This eatery gets a solid three stars and a thumbs up.

Después de un colapso de coches mientras conduce el NC 500, tuvimos una estancia no planeada en Lochcarron y tuvimos suerte de conseguir a último momento en Rockvilla. Lo que un verdadero golpe de suerte resultó ser. Nos dieron la más grande frente a habitación en-suite con cama doble muy cómoda. La habitación tiene unas vistas fantásticas del lago especialmente al amanecer. Wendy y Pete son unos anfitriones fantásticos (y Holly el laboratorio negro era precioso). Wendy sirve la mejor comida en la ciudad, con generosas porciones (dudo que muchos serán capaces de terminar los tres cursos). Tienen una buena selección de cervezas y un bar escocés razonablemente equipada. Sin duda nos alojaremos aquí de nuevo la próxima vez que estemos en la zona.

Rockvilla restaurant is excellent. All the dishes are most thoughtfully and individually prepared, arriving piping hot and fresh. The range on any one night is remarkable, but the variety in no way detracts from their quality, and all have an emphasis on local and organic products and greens from little farms and gardens up the hill above Lochcarron. The emphasis is on seasonal ingredients and what is freshly available and tasty. I enjoyed everything I tried. Wendy is an extremely fine cook. The blue cheese stroganoff is particularly good, as is all the fish, and any of the soups. There is an intriguing list of regional beers available and the wine is very good. The atmosphere in the dining room ranges from a quiet, relaxed friendliness to a general cheery conversation between the tables about the doings of the day, depending on the spontaneous inclination of the diners, but all is natural and unforced. Meanwhile all the meals are served with total efficiency mixed with a general cheeriness and unflagging attentiveness to making all comfortable and happy for the diners. I most highly recommend a meal here.

Rockvilla has a couple of tables, which are normally occupied by their guests and if not all rooms are booked, they might have some tables for other people.The menu is a mix of dishes they have in the menu and items written on the blackboard on the wall (so extra fresh).The portions are pretty generous and taste great.

We booked the Rockvilla - 8 of us, from the 19th - 26th of July 2014. It was excellent. The Villa is fantastic for a family holiday or a group of friends just wanting to meet up and have a wonderful time. The bedrooms are big and spotlessly clean and the bathrooms are modern and we had lovely fluffy towels. The kitchen was out of this world, with everything you could wish for including 3 ovens and a big American fridge freezer and another 3 fridges!! Loads of crockery and pots and pans. We had the full run of the whole villa and it was just magic. Wendy even agreed to let us have the key early so we could go to the Highland games - and she made us a wonderful beef bourguignonne in the slow cooker for when we returned. We cannot recommend the Rockvilla highly enough - I am afraid you will have to try it yourselves and yes we would all want to return again and again and again. So thank you Wendy, Peter and Ben for letting us have your wonderful Rockvilla for the week, oh and for the beautiful sunshine and scenery the views were awesome, just out the bedroom window to Lochcarron who could have wished for more really.

The Rockvilla is a nice enough place. The staff - a mother & son team - are friendly & welcoming and the atmosphere convivial. But the food, alas, is pretty average. The Cuillin Skink - a traditional creamy soup with smoked haddock & potatoes - to start was pretty good but after that it was a bit of a let down. The seafood in my seafood linguine turned out to consist pretty much exclusively of salmon. My wife's veggie lasagne was ok but really needed a bit more cheese sauce to make it suitably sloppy & delicious. If I'd made either at home I would have been disappointed with the results (though I am a pretty good chef if I say so myself). Portions are large so in the land of the hungry diner they may be king but for me it's a hard place to love. Maybe it's the tartan carpet. Maybe it's that I wish it was the pub that it once was. Or maybe it's because the Lochcarron Bistro a few doors down the road is just so much better. I doubt that we would pay a return visit next time we are in town.

Called in to eat having known the Rockvilla before as a pub with very good food and found that it had become this fabulous restaurant. There was a mix of families, couples and friends and there was no problem that we were in full walking gear despite the high standards of the presentation and the food. Both main courses and deserts we had were fabulous and we were jealous of the starters others were having as these looked outstanding! Local Scottish beers and the chance to have a whiskey on the sofas at the end of the meal completed the perfect experience - highly recommended!

We have dined here three times during our stay in Rockvilla B&B and it was great. Before visiting Rockvilla we thought that fish and chips is the best you can get in Scotland, but after having a warm mackerel salad and seafood dishes here we definitely changed our minds. The food is fresh and just melts in your mouth. The restaurant decor is very aesthetic and the atmosphere is perfect for a relaxing dinner after a day of exploring Scotland. Don't forget to order dessert from the small dessert board - meringue is just great. The restaurant also offers a choice of local ales which are worth trying.

A large group, thirteen of us has selected menus for pre-order meals, when our arrival at the restaurant, they has prepared well for us. We keep Peter busy on drinks order before the meals served, all food were delicious and excellent tasting which Wendy was cooking. Some of us has bit disappointed that Cullen Skink has bit watery within few fishes and many potatoes! We think perhaps she made soup in last minute, or add water or semi skinned milk to fill up soup for extra number which we has ordered! however, the main course were excellent, same as the desserts.We all enjoyed much ourselves.

This place is absolutely amazing. The hosts Wendy and Pete are lovely and very accommodating. Really good fresh produce and its all homemade which is even better! Best restaurant in the Highlands in my opinion, been here the past few years as they are always consistent and the rooms have been refurbished to an excellent standard! So so fab, myself and my husband will be back soon!

Really a restaurant with rooms, super value, food was excellent & Wendy & Peter did an excellent job of cooking and serving. We had room 1 which was a lovely big room with good ensuite facilities and magnificent views over the loch. Really nice menu and again super views over the loch and beyond.

Wendy & Peter made us feel very welcome when we stayed with them in June 2013. The home cooked food was great, breakfast was massive and kept you going all day. Great location, great people, great place to stay as a biker as it's not far from Applecross - we didn't get there due to weather but will be back to try again some time! A great little find with a good location, huge comfortable room, great for all our clobber! Great base to visit Plockton & Isle of Skye.

My wife and I have been going Lochcarron now for 4 years and a visit to this Restaurant is a must!The menu is small & simple (how restaurants should be) and there is also an ever changing specials board.Wendy & Peter source their food locally where possible and I have to say it is cooked to perfection.We were there in June this year and popped in to celebrate our anniversary.Both of us opted for the steak and it was beautifully cooked.Its amazing how many times you can go out to a restaurant and not get a steak cooked, how you like I,t but there is no danger of that here.Nice atmosphere, wonderful outlook and excellent food.Finally we would like to say what a wonderful welcome we received from Wendy & Peter.A lovely couple who work really hard to make this little place the gem it is.

Attached to the Guest House of the same name, Wendy and her husband Peter serve lovely home cooked meals in generous portion sizes. A well stocked bar compliments the food. Bookings essential as we saw a few people turned away!

I ate here three times while staying in Lochcarron for a week. Food was wonderful each time. Atmosphere was great. Very personable service from Ben and the rest of the staff. I hope they stay profitable and in business for many years to come, as I want to come back for seconds! Best of luck!

Very nice and quiet little B&B where we ate our evening meal. Food was just lovely!! You have to book this though, there is a note on the door that states no walk in's understandably as the restaurant area is quite small but quaint!

Great wee spot for a burger place, right next to the ferry, centre of town. Very tasty burgers, staff are always friendly. Get great value for money and is by far one of the best food places on the island.

Blown away by this gem! Beautiful flavours, beautifully prepared. Why is it not the culinary highlight of the NC500??? Looked at couple of reviews describing concerns about service. Could not relate in any way to those comments and we were there on a busy night. The bill? I thought they hadn't included a dish. Cheaper than the pub feed we'd had the night before. BYO. Book ahead, you don't want to miss the Printer's Rest!!

We had a lovely dinner in this restaurant. The food was delicious and the staff incredibly kind. We feel welcomed and very well attended all the time. I tried the wee haggis for the first time ever and it was delicious. The mussels were really good too. Also the Geographer hamburger was one of the best burgers I have tried. I highly recommend this restaurant.
