Tee Off Cafe in Highland

Lovely little place with amazing views. Popped in for a quick coffee to go but fell in love with the scones. There’s fresh scones then there’s these scones honestly I have no words you have to try one!

Can't comment on the new management. Location next to the (sea) loch is fantastic. Lovely views. Parking is easy.

Lochcarron golf club clubhouse cafe opposite the church. Sit aside the lake looking over to the sleeping giant mountain top. Very polite pleasant owners dog friendly too. Supporting this business directly sopports the community as they regularly fund raise here.

Stopped here for cake and coffee. Lovely staff, very friendly. Delicious cake and coffee. I recommended this place for wee stop.

Coming back from diving in Lochcarron, this is the first time I visited this place. It was recommended by friends. It's pleasant, friendly and a warm place. The service was impeccable and the owners were very friendly. I'll go again.

Clean tea room with lovely views. Stopped for drinks, pot of tea, cappuccino, hot chocolate and lemonade. Owners were friendly.

A lovely setting but I have never been treated with such rudeness by anyone running a business before. It was a repeat visit for me. We were served the first time by both a younger and older man , They were friendly and polite. The place seemed a bit chaotic but they were doing their best. On a return trip I took my elderly mother in for a drink as it was a really hot day and she was thirsty. I approached the counter and was told by a lady that I would have to leave as 'she had nothing left' I did say that all I wanted were some drinks and was about to ask if we could possibly take them away, when I was informed that 'I would have to go to the shop down the road'. I then had to take my mother back out to the car park which was quite a journey for her as she is very unsteady on her feet. I think that the lady who runs this place would be better suited in a job where she is not dealing with the public!

We called off here when doing the NC 500 one Sunday lunch time for a quick bite to eat and what a fabulous little cafe we found. A brilliant view and such a friendly old guy that served us. We all had sandwiches and paninis with chips and drinks which were very tasty. Whilst we were waiting for our food we did a lovely children's jigsaw. Great little place.

Best chips of the holiday so far and an excellent panini. Staff very helpful and willing to adjust menu items. Great views while you eat.

Such a pleasant and unplanned visit to this little tea room on our drive to the Torridon from Isle of Skye. Fantastic scenery with ample outdoor seating and quite an extensive menu consider location and size of the place. We ordered the soup of the day - tomato and lentil and a cauliflower and Parmesan. Both accompanied by some delightful warm and crusty bread for the very good price of £3.60. Service was fantastic - a lovely couple who have been in the area for 29 years, in the cafe for 6. They were extremely friendly and happy to chat, so much so that we were taken outside to look at some of the trees where we could see lichen growing which shows the purity of the air. Don’t understand some of the negative reviews here. Either people are reviewing an entirely different establishment or it was different front of house staff on the day. The married couple there the day we visited make us want to go back again and again.

I’ve never been compelled to write a review like this before but here we go. We visited this cafe on a Monday afternoon. There were a few other people sat inside already. As we entered a lady walked past us serving some food. She didn’t say ‘hello’ or even acknowledge us which seemed odd. We had a quick look at the blackboard menu and chose to sit at a table near the window. There were some empty cups on the table where it hadn’t been cleared yet but we didn’t mind that. Before we even sat down the same woman approached. I asked if it was alright to sit there to which she replied “why do you have to sit at this one? Can’t you sit at a clear table?” She started commenting to the other customers about why we had to choose that table. With that, I told her we’d take our business elsewhere and we left. I struggle to see how you can run a business like this. I don’t for a minute think the customer is always right, some customers can be a pain in the proverbial but to just be rude to potential customers is never going to get you anywhere. I suspect that this woman just cannot cope with more than a few customers and is probably in need of some help. We took our business to the Waterside cafe just up the road. Friendly staff, nice cake and coffee too.

We visited this cafe by chance and pleased we did. Really friendly. Food was fab we had pie and chips. Really good value. Dog friendly and they fussed over our dog and give him a plate of chicken. He was happy and so were we!!

Popped in here on 2 consecutive days on our failed attempt to conquer The Pass of the Cattle - we'll hopefully be successful next time! Anyway, delicious coffee, lovely cake and scone and really friendly service. It's a beautiful spot and next time we are in the area we'll call back.

Stopped off here on our way to Apple cross for lunch. We had our three young children with us. The food was great and the staff extremely welcoming and helpful. Would recommend for all travelers as made to feel at home instantly.

Stopped here on our way to Applecross. What a delightful place with welcoming staff. We were the only diners there when we arrived but it soon started getting busy. We had the smoked haddock soup, and it was delicious! I would totally recommend this place. As it’s winter, their hours of operation is less than normal but we were lucky to have picked a Friday at lunchtime to visit Applecross, especially when a lot of other places in Scotland seem to close for the winter months.

Passed this place about 10 times in the space of 3 days. Claims to be open all day - not sure what 'all day' means in Lochcarron but it appeared to be shut every time we passed

Food and service for us was ok but a family of Indian tourists arrived which revealed a nasty racist attitude by one of the staff and they were treated very badly. That left a sour taste in my mouth so I won’t be back. Not good ambassadors for Scottish tourism! There are plenty of nicer places in Loch Carron so I advise to just drive on.

Zwischenstop hier, um einen Cappuccino zu trinken und die Gelegenheit genutzt, einen Kuchen zu essen (sh Fotos). Das ist der carrott cake (Karottenkuchen), sehr zimtig, toll! Super Aussicht.

Having traveled from Skye as the weather looked better on the mainland. We called in for a light bite.

I stopped here with a good friend whilst on a trip around the west of Scotland for some lunch. The cafe was busy and on first impressions the staff don’t cope well with the afternoon rush. Turning away several customers and a bit of a heated discussion in the kitchen didn’t help matters.

A friend and I passing through on a road trip across the West Coast of Scotland, and this summer liked an appropriate stop for lunch.

The staff at this restaurant are sadly not cut out for the hospitality trade. Unlike elsewhere throughout our month long visit to Scotland, there was no attempt at courtesy or rapport with customers. Instead, the tension amongst the staff was expressed loudly and repeatedly, in a manner bordering on bullying, creating a very uncomfortable atmosphere in the cafe. They didnt seem to be able to cope with the lunchtime rush, despite the fact that the cafe was only three quarters full, and the menu limited in range. The lack of etiquette might have been forgivable had the food had been up to scratch, but regrettably it wasnt: bedraggled slimy lettuce and a sandwich comprising lumps of chicken literally drowning in mayonnaise for just short of £5 is not good enough in this day and age. Its a shame, as the location is utterly stunning.

Called for brunch on our first leg of the NC500 route. Warm friendly welcome, fabulous home cooked food and an amazing view. Could not fault it. Well worth a visit.

We called in here on a Sunday morning for coffees. Good parking and in a lovely setting, on the outskirts of Loch Carron.

Stopped here after the drive over the Applecross pass. What a great little place. Lovely ladies served a perfect bacon sandwich and good coffee with a top up. Set in the golf club house and with incredible views of the loch. Couldn't ask for more.

Great cakes, coffee and people!!! Weather wasn't so good but they made us feel very warm and welcome and even played some brilliant music

It’s the obvious stop on the entrance to the village, nice welcome, good bowl of soup, and pot of tea. Other customers were eating burgers, fish, sandwiches, all seemed to go down well.

I popped in past on a wee road trip for lunch and a coffee. What a gorgeous wee place. Owners are a delight and quirky. Giggled the whole time in was here. People like them are good for the soul. My lentil and bacon soup was lovely. I will be back.

The (presumably owner) was on her own when we went in. She was obviously under stress and muttering about how she was doing her best. She didn’t know where her husband was. We ordered 2 bacon rolls and 2 pates and toast. We waited a while then her husband turned up and was serving. Much clattering of dishes and a couple of domestics later we were served. Rolls were the cheapest of the cheap. Cafe filled up and it was like faulty towers. Not impressed and would avoid at all costs. Low budget low key. Dire !!!

5 of us stopped here for lunch after a long day of driving. Because of the lovely views in the cafe we took a table by the window. The table had two cups of coffee on it from the previous customers. Rather than clearing the table and making us welcome the waitress rudely told us “I haven’t cleared that one yet so why don’t you sit in that other one” she then went into the kitchen and we could hear her complaining about us. She didn’t even say hello when we walked in. Needless to say we walked straight out and took our business elsewhere!

Passing by so stopped off for coffee and cake. Lovely little touch came with the coffee...biscuity spiral???tasty. Cake arrived, nicely presented, beautifully moist and garnished. Best coffee and cake we’ve eaten in a long time. Nice spot to relax and take in the views. Recommend a visit.

11 soaked cold cyclists looking for coffee and cake on a day of wind and rain got the coldest of welcomes so we spent our £140 down the road instead.

At the east end of Lochcarron at the golf course. Stopped by after pleasant walk along Lochcarron lochside. Nice outdoor seating area overlooking golf course and loch towards Strathcarron and beyond

Mi esposa y yo decidimos almorzar en el Tee Off Café mientras conducía a través de Lochcarron en nuestro camino hacia el norte. Tuve sopa de pescado (abadejo), que era delicioso, y mi esposa tuvo una sopa de tomate muy sabroso. Era un día soleado y pudimos tener nuestra comida en una mesa fuera con nuestro perro. El personal era muy eficiente, amable y servicial, y el paisaje en el Lado Lago era espectacular. Un verdadero hallazgo!

Très bon accueil avec une restauration originale et délicieuse pour le midi. Situé sur le golf et au bord du...

Teníamos un encantador almuerzo allí en el 23 de mayo - buena selección de comida - 2 tipos de sopa, llenas de rollos, excelente selección de bollos y pasteles de lujo

Paramos aquí para el almuerzo durante un largo viaje. La ubicación es impresionante y merece la pena quedarse aquí por eso. Llegamos al mismo tiempo que otras dos parejas y esto claramente nervioso la señora (presumiblemente el dueño) como ella era muy corto con la...

Yo parado aquí con un amigo en ruta hacia Applecross Bay. El café estaba muy limpio y nos recibió una señora muy amable en la factura. Tuve la plowman y mi amigo tenía una tarta de té tostado. El café era muy agradable y nos ofrecieron recambios. Realmente no hay mucho más que decir, excepto que las vistas son bonitas mientras espera por su comida. Fue una experiencia muy agradable y comida recomiendo una visita.

Me and my family had been traveling for a few hours and we though this looked a lovely place to stop. Well how wrong were we. My mother asked for 2 teas one with sugar one without. I was in complete shock when the rude reply of the woman (owner I think) was "yeah just give a minute" in the most rude way possible. When the tea was made I then asjed for 3 muffins and once again the woman was rude towards my family. She then forced a magazine in my mothers hands and demanded we sit down , guess what... in a rude manner. On the way out I seceded to use the toilet. After washing my hands I cane upon a dirty towel which was meant to be for drying my hand. I would never recommend this "tee-rible" "cafe" because of the pure utter rudeness of the woman and because of the unhygienic restroom. Shocking.

Popped in for some tea and cake to take out (didn't see a sign saying 'no take outs'), lady was rude and uninterested. I did get the tea and cake but felt I caused her hassle in the process. I should have gone elsewhere. Not good customer service, average tea and cake. Won't be back.

Having read the many excellent reviews on this place, I can't understand the service we received on March 15th. Our group of six had been travelling a few hours when we decided to stop for lunch. As I used the bathroom (which was very clean!) My husband and friends went to ask if there was any takeout sandwiches. The waitress rudely told them to go to the garage down the road. They asked instead if tea and cake was available, and were told again to go to the garage!?? We left very disappointed as the cafe was a very quaint little place with beautiful views (and we were hungry!) Maybe they were just having a bad day?

We had been staying in the area for a week and had driven past a few times. Being a golfer I was interested to have a look around so we tried it for lunch before we went home. I wish we had tried it sooner so we could have gone again and again. The lady serving was very welcoming and took our orders. The food was freshly prepared but didn't take long to arrive and everything we had was perfect. The price was perfect too. All in all it was a great place to stop. I would have liked to have played a few holes on the course, which is very short but looks like a challenge for any golfer, but didn't have time, next time. I would recommend that if you are passing then pop in for lunch you will not be disappointed. Loved it.

Came across this little place by chance and was thrilled,absolutely delightful in all aspects and the lady who made us so welcome an absolute gem, thank you....

I am an American and my family was on vacation. Despite the fact that I had an annoying request to combine items on the menu to make a "bacon egg and cheese" they met the request and were so kind about it. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for your lovely restaurant

Perfect stop! Must have one of the best views of any cafe anywhere. Excellent service 1st class coffee.

We have a cottage in Strome and live in Inverness so on our way up cannot wait to go to the café for our coffee and bacon rolls. The toilets are so very clean, and always get a warm welcome from Sharon. Thank You, Joyce.

Did not to try the food - my husband went in first and was met by a very very rude waitress ! He walked out !

We arrived at Lochcarron after quite a long drive and stopped here for lunch. A fabulous spot overlooking the Loch and the first tee of the golf course. Very impressed with the steak and ale pie, homemade shortcrust pastry and double cooked chips, wonderful! My wife had the homemade soup and venison burger which were also superb. So rare to find great home cooking these days. Thank you!

We had a lovely stop here after a long drive. The scones were good and so was the coffee but it was the views that were the winner. We sat at a table outside and although the place was busy we felt welcome to sit as long as we liked and the views were just stunning. The free WIFI was an added bonus for our teenager!

Paré a tomar un café en un día lluvioso. El sitio es muy acogedor y con unas vistas preciosas al campo de golf. Recomendable.

Stopped of for a drink and a light snack and really enjoyed it on a hot day I managed to get a table outside over looking the loch ordered a pot of tea and the soup of the day and very nice ...

Scenic place to stop and have a bite of lunch. The couple running the place were very pleasent and the food was tasty.

Popped in for cake an a cuppa lovely carrot cake an cracking pot of tea. Staff friendly... busy little place id definetly be back again if ever im up this way again

Great for a coffee and snack can't recommend this cafe enough!Don't drive past it stop and try it for your own experience!Great wifi and staff!

Open to the public the cafe in the clubhouse has spectacular views down the loch with seating inside and out. There is a large tarmac car park at the front. We just stopped off for coffee and a scone and were delighted to find a range of savoury ones. The parsnip ones were delicious, and the coffee freshly brewed. Good friendly service and inexpensive, plus the 'facilities' were immaculate.

This is a happy little cafe with splendid views. Nice people content to share their good fortune in living and working in such beauty. Stop for coffee or lunch and enjoy the gentle atmosphere and serenity.

First of all please DO NOT take any notice of this bad review. We visited this small but homely cafe last week on our travels from Applecross. Tea for two was served with politeness and up most courtesy.The toilet was immaculate. Lovely smellies and hand cream.We did, however visit at a quite time so i do understand if the toilet may get over used during service. But im sure even your own toilets at home get abused occasionally.Lovely couple running the cafe. Please visit if ever your passing. Regardsjulie-davenport@hotmail.co.uk

Just popped in for a cup of tea, but couldn't have been more accommodating. Our dog was made very welcome, and even ended up with a new toy! Stop in here if you can.

Whilst staying in Lochcarron we visited this cafe twice. Once for morning coffee and then for lunch.Both visits were excellent.Nice views from the new'ish wooden club house, which is open to the public.Very friendly and attentive staff.Good menu with a wide range of food along with some 'specials'.Both times the food and drinks were excellent.Well served with good sized portions.Little touches like the very tasty salad garnish served with the sandwiches and panini's.Great value for money as well.

Stopped in for refreshments as we passed on August 27th .Never have i came across such snobbery . Asked if they had a ladies room and after 3 attempts i was pointed in the direction of a toilet . Language seemed to be a problem with the staff - seemed not to understand scottish . I was treated like something they trod on . The posh ladies room at the posh golf club was filthy but good fortune smiled at me when i found the toilet cleaner and cleaned the toilet before using . Perhaps these 2 ladies ought to consider a course in good manners and scottish dialect before attempting to serve the wider public ...especially the older lady with the 1970's perm .

On route to Applecross we needed a light snack and stumbled across this delightful looking wooden building right on the loch. The weather was fantastic allowing us to sit outside and admire the view. Food was ample, tasty and service was good and we were soon back on the road well nourished and glad we stopped.

whilst touring in the area of lochcarron spotted this small golf club café. Went in for a snack and were greeted by friendly staff. I purchased coffee and fruit scones which were excellent. We sat at a table outside overlooking the loch and fantastic scenery. If ever you are in this area and need a snack and coffee do not miss this place. It was really good value and I cannot recommend it enough.

Pleasant staff and a nice cup of tea for a great price. Stopped in after a fairly long drive and it was incredibly welcoming, we will definitely remember it for when we're in the area!
