The Tearoom in North Ayrshire

Corrie tea room and golf course are perfect examples of Arran at its best….full of character and welcoming. We had an excellent lunch of sandwiches and delicious soup, with great friendly service. Just what we wanted ahead of playing the wonderful golf course. Would thoroughly recommend.

Very disappointing. We were sad to give it such a poor review but we would never go back and really cannot recommend it. We ordered two teas, a fruit scone with jam and butter but no cream and a slice of cake. It came to £13 which is a lot of money for what we got The scone was tiny and really did seem shop bought (co-op not M&S). The cake was dry and a sort of domed chocolate cake. Sure it was a coincidence but the next day I saw a similar one in the frozen section of the co-op. Also did not seem home made. I could be wrong with both of these comments and happy to be corrected about whether they were shop bought or home made but they were uninspiring The tea was in paper cups. That’s fine but very pricey for a paper cup of tea with a tea bag and some milk I cannot break it down in terms of cost but if we say the tea was £2.50 each which feels high it means that the scone was £3.50 to £4.00 and the cake £4.00-4.50. Much lower cost nicer options in Arran. You can get a huge, warm home made scone with butter, jam and cream for 3.80 And the scone at least twice and closer to three times the size. The guy servicing was very polite and friendly so you cannot fault that I know there is another fairly recent review offering similar advice but we ignored it and thought it worth giving the place a chance I know that eating out is not cheap and had the quality been there we would have been surprised by the price but not so shocked It is fairly early days for the new ownership and I would love for them to succeed but it does need a bit of a rethink. Perhaps the meals are better but it is not hard to make scones and cake so I would be a bit worried and certainly we would not feel able to return given our experience A shame and hopefully things will get better as they new owners settle in

What a wonderful hidden away cafe with such welcoming owners. Fresh food fabulous atmosphere in a great location. Thank you I fully recommend this gem of a place on Arran. Also if the cafe is closed they have the most FANTASTIC honesty cafe for weary tired hungry travellers out of hours.

Im a Cullen Skink critic, reviewing Cullen Skinks exclusively on the Isle of Arran. And i must proclaim that the Glen Sannox Tea Rooms has won the 2023 best Skink on the island.

Having visited here often in the past we were surprised to see many changes. Obviously new owners putting their own stamp on the cafe. I hope that they do not intend to continue to supply tea and coffee from the machine in the foyer as the water for the tea was not hot enough to make a good brew and it was served in a cardboard cup. The scones we had were small and I think possibly shop bought ( I stand to be corrected on this). Prices were well above much better fare elsewhere on the island. I do hope these are just teething troubles and that the hew owners can make a go of the cafe. My suggestions would be to provide tea in a teapot and served in china cups or mugs. Also to visit other local establishments to see what they offer.

Staying in corrie and didn't want epic walking on last day so explored neighbouring village. Had read about little cafe and it was cute setting. The coffee was instant but actually delicious and nice girl serving with lots of home bakes. Beautiful grounds with picnic tables to enjoy views and weather

I was in Arran for a week, partly with family & partly with friends. Played golf at this lovely course just the once but ate at this fabulous cafe four times. It just offered the best food on the island! This really is a gem of a place. Do not leave Arran without coming here!

We have visited many times and have never been disappointed. The food is always delicious, but the Sunday dinners are especially nice. I would recommend that you book on a Sunday as it's very popular. The home made soups are very nice and a piece of cake is a must. Staff are lovely and friendly always going out of the way to make you feel special. It's a lovely spot to sit outside if the sun makes an appearance and just enjoy a cuppa.

After arriving on Arran we stopped in at the tearoom for a late lunch before booking in at our holiday cottage. We both ordered a chip butty and could not believe the size of them when they were served. They were enormous – we could have shared at one and still been full, but we ate the lot. I didn’t need to make tea that night! We called in again the following day (Sunday) and had the Sunday Roast – again the portions were huge and really tasty. Another visit later in the week and again we were not disappointed. Not many tables inside, possibly due to Covid restrictions, but the weather was hot and sunny and there were plenty of tables outside. We will definitely be there again next time we are on Arran.

The Tea Room at Corrie Golf Club is great! Big menu choice and we loved our meal. The staff are lovely, so friendly. We are back on Arran in August & will def be back. Beautiful views of the stunning golf course.

Definitely pop in for lunch if you're down near Corrie golf course! Food was served promptly and portions were generous. Nothing fancy, but perfect for a simple and tasty lunch! Chips are homemade and super tasty and the butty's do not disappoint! Great wee place for a quick bite to eat and perfect for families. Will be back!

No proper coffee, just instant, very poor. Drab decor with no views. Very disappointing. Do not visit here for morning coffee.

The poor reviews relate to the previous owners - ignore them. Now Fran’s Tearoom, it is brilliant. The fish and chips are on a par with the very best fish and chip shops, the Sunday lunches are great, and the service is friendly and really competent, and the prices are good value. This place deserves to do really well.

Absolutely fantastic food - the most I have enjoyed eating out in a long time! Traditional food done incredibly well, felt like coming home to Mother's home cooking after a long time away! Service was fantastic. Staff friendly, welcoming, positive and proud of their produce. A real hidden gem on the island, should be in more guidebooks!

Popped in on a Sunday afternoon . Very tasty cakes and a decent coffee were served by friendly staff

My son and I popped in to order some sandwiches. There was a man clearing a table and three other tables with people sitting at them. We stood and waited, I asked one of families if the place did takeaways they kindly said yes they did. We continued to wait, the man clearing the table looked at us 3 or 4 times, went in out of kitchen twice and spoke to a man who was just on his way to play golf. He completely ignored us and didn't utter a word so we laughed, left and went to the fantastic Sandwich Station at our next stop in Lochranza where we received great food and perfect customer service. After reading such great reviews of this place, it really was a bizarre encounter.

This little kitchen produces some great food and is a miracle in motion. It has reduced seating just now with the Covid regulations but we prebooked and got served without issue. The fayre is from the blackboard to help adjust to stock levels and variations of choice. All food is served well presented and with a little care. Food tasty and home baking selection based on scones and cakes.

Stopped for a well earned cake on a cycle ride. Owner was very chatty and friendly. We ordered coffee and cake and they were excellent. Really light chocolate cake and red velvet cake. Highly recommended.

One of the nicest places to visit on the island of Arran. Always a friendly welcome and the food is exquisite. Whether just a cup of tea and scone or the full roast dinner, it really is one of the best dining experiences on the island.

The proprietor was very rude and surly he complained after we moved a table to let my disabled mother get in so we all left before ordering . The food may be fine but the staff are not .

Bacon butties, cakes, scones to go with our tea/coffee. Staff were very efficient, friendly and helpful (especially when splitting the bill!!)

Called in for tea and scones - very friendly reception from the owners, good tea and excellent home made scones. Thank you.

Booked for Sunday lunch. What a feast, huge portion I ordered large but regular woul£ have been enough, amazing quality and value for money. BYO completed a great lunch. Home baking fabulous everyone enjoyed the visit we’ll be back

Took the family here for a lunch. The lentil soup was the best on the island so tasty. Everyone enjoyed their meals and was so good we booked to go back the next day. Highly recommend.

The Sunday roast, of which there were two choices, were only £6.95 for a small portion (which is suffice) or £8.50 for a large portion (which is huge) and included five varieties of vegetables, potatoes, tender meat, Yorkshire pudding and accompanying sauces and gravy.Best to book as busy between 12.00 p.m. and 2.00 p.m. with regular locals who know where to get good home cooked food at a bargain price.

Simple devor and simply good food at prices which I thought were long gone. Large Sunday roast lunch fir less than £10; soup and enormous sandwich for around a fiver.

This is a lovely place to stop for tea and cake, and it’s dog friendly too. It’s been a while since we have eaten a meal there, but the food was great when we did. On our recent trip it was great to have a pot of tea and some delicious cake after exploring Sannox beach. Highly recommend stopping off here.

we dropped by on Sunday after a recommendation from a local, and were very lucky to get a table as they had a lot of bookings. Best advice would be check first to avoid disappointment!the surroundings were basic but this was more than made up for by the staff and the food. really warm and friendly, and the food.... brilliant!we had lasagne, a toasted and chicken for the wee one. all empty plates and we even managed a cake or two!

We visited this cafe on the recommendation of a couple we met while walking. We were not disappointed. A traditional friendly cafe with home made food. We had the hot pork roll and it was divine. Took some Victoria sponge home later and it was simply gorgeous. We’d earlier been to the distillery cafe which was disappointing so this was a real find and we will be back!!!

Comimos en este pequeño restaurante, el estofado de carne estaba buenísimo, casero.

Es un cafe no muy grande con casi todos los dulces a la vista, tortas, masas secas y demas, ordenamos un te y un cafe mas dos cuadraditos de chocolate y dulce típicos escoceses lo disfrutamos mucho y gastamos 5£.

First time we visited here, we were eating our food when cook brought out scones, fresh from the oven! Necessitated another visit, on another day - we weren't disappointed. Excellent.

Another amazing lunch. Homemade chips just make it a cut above the rest. Went Pont trekking then came back for the most moist delicious chocolate cake. Thank you

Well worth a stop. We went about 3pm for a coffee and cake and were not disappointed. The location is excellent and the owner/staff very pleasant. The cake was lovely. A great place for a pit stop.

Played golf here,went in for lunch,fantastic service and food,good prices,cake to die for, customer service is excellent,well worth a visit

....do not pass by, the food here is delicious and great value for money. We had an excellent lunch with one of the best lasagnes ever. All the food is freshly cooked so it's not a fast food tearoom, but there's music while you wait, books and games for children all with a very pretty decor. The cakes are delicious and the staff are welcoming; it's definitely well worth a visit and we intend to return soon for more of that delicious lasagne. I have since learned that the steak pies are superb so maybe we'll try them!

Simple, luscious cakes - Victoria Sponge, Lemon Drizzle, Chocolate - make this a great stop for afternoon tea while delicious homemade soup and warm, crispy-on-the-outside rolls (followed by cake!) made a great lunch yesterday. Others in our party had bacon, sausages, beans, chips and a perfect fried egg between them. Nothing was too much trouble and there was something to suit all tastes and ages - a tearoom to visit again and again! And very reasonable prices, Eat inside or out - the scenery is perfection!

We visited this tearoom at Corrie Golf Club three times during our week on Arran, once for coffee & cake, and twice for a light lunch. Would highly recommend this friendly, welcoming tearoom, which seems popular with both visitors and locals alike.

Visiting this delightful little tea room is like going back to the 1950s

Brill little cafe and very cheap. Thanks so much to the owner for staying open for us to have tea after 4. Lovely place.

This is a lovely little caffee right on the start of the Corrie Golf Course so it does cater for golfers with the obligatory bacon and egg rolls plus great cakes. There are also lovely meals available and all of an excellent standard and lovely flavour. A great place to stop and enjoy the view of Glen Sannox and have some first class food,

We headed to Sannox on an icy cold afternoon for a late Lunch.

You won't be disappointed when you visit The Tearoom - one of the loveliest places on Arran to eat. The owner stayed open for us when we arrived later in the day due to a road closure and served us a beautiful toastie (with Arran cheese) and delicious homemade chips! We then finished our meal off with cups of tea and scrumptious home made baking. Everything was of a high quality and very reasonably priced. The owner was chatty and attentive without being overbearing whilst my sister and I had a gossip over a cup of tea. The surroundings are quaint (floral cushions, a Welsh dresser full of teapots etc) and the toilets accessible and clean. If we're ever back on Arran we will definitely be paying this wee Tearoom another visit - you're in for a treat if you to choose to make the trip :)

I stopped by twice for tea and lunch while I was doing a solo cycling trip in Arran. The food was delicious and made with passion. I had Red Velvet Cake, Lentil Soup (twice), Toastie (with goats cheese and roasted veg). Had a lovely conversation with the landlady (Claire) and she is quite welcoming. I highly recommend to stop by. :)

Llamamos dos veces durante nuestra visita a Arran. La señorita que nos atendio es encantador, muy atento y amable. El pan de jengibre fue el más delicioso que he tenido y era el acompañamiento perfecto para una taza de café encantador. La tetería está en un hermoso entorno.

We stumbled upon this little place not long after arriving in Arran. The portions are so generous, so delicious, and it is a dog-friendly place to top it all off. The cheddar and Arran chutney toastie is particularly amazing, as are the soup and hot...

Aunque la sala es en todo el mundo Corrie Golf Club puede disfrutar de un almuerzo, el café de la mañana o el té de la tarde aquí, no sólo para los golfistas. Está en un precioso entorno de la quemadura en el norte Sannox. El personal es muy agradable y la decoración es encantadora. La comida es fresca, sana y bien presentado. Si viajas al norte es el último lugar para comprar refrescos antes de Lochranza.

This tea room is open 9 to 5 and occupies the 9 hole Corrie golf club house situated 8 miles...

El café está situado en la casa club de golf Club antiguo sannnox. Llamamos a la hora del almuerzo, pero no quiere un almuerzo así que nosotros satisfechos con una taza y un pedazo de pastel. El servicio era muy bueno y ofrece un menú...

Después de una ronda de golf en el campo de nueve hoyos muy pintoresco almorzamos en la sala de al lado, dirigido por el muy amable Clare. Era justo lo que queríamos. Teníamos buenos sandwiches hechos con pan recién hecho, ensalada y bebidas. Todo estaba...

Te dan una cálida bienvenida y una comida deliciosa, especialmente las tartas fabulosas!! Nos descubrimos esta cafetería al jugar al campo de golf - se detuvo para refrigerios corrie entre cada una de las 9 rondas de 18 hoyos. Luego nos llamó un par de veces más cuando no pude resistir pasar - el café y pasteles!

Visitamos el Salón varias veces la semana pasada, durante un excelente viaje a Arran. Está justo al lado de la carretera principal, justo en el club de golf, pero ofrece una cálida bienvenida a todo el mundo. Si estás en la zona es un lugar...

Wonderful food, friendly staff, excellent choice of quick snacks or meals. Home bake at its best, fast service, unless very busy. Tables inside and weather permitting outside amongst an idyllic setting of mountains, river, golf course and wildlife. Everything is prepared on site and good value for money. Coffee re-fill, now that's a treat to try this lovely stopping place. Our family of 4 enjoyed toasted Mozzarello and cranberry, with extra hand cut chips, scones and cream with jam were an enjoyable afters. Thanks Tearoom, we'll be back.

Una joya. Todo era casero, muy fresca y sabrosa. Las patatas fritas cortadas a mano eran una delicia. Las generosas porciones significaba que estábamos demasiado lleno para comer cualquiera de las Tartas preciosas, pero no quería perderse, así que compré una selección para comer más tarde. El café está en una ubicación hermosa, así que es ganar ganar. Como Arnold, volveremos!

Lovely little Tearoom used on a few occasions whilst visiting Arran. Make nice cakes. Worth a visit.

We popped in for lunch with our one year old son. The staff were very friendly. The food arrived quickly and was very tasty. We would definitely visit again.

Lovely bright and friendly wee place with delightful decor and atmosphere. Had the most delicious bowl of home made soup, and husband had enormous freshly made lush sandwich. So good we went back next day for more delicious soup and what husband described as "supreme BLT" - and he IS a BLT snob. Cakes all home made too and as light as a feather, packed with flavour: lemon cream cake and chocolate salted caramel cake. Gorgeous! On another note, the toilet was beautifully clean and with lots of thoughtful touches that take it beyond functional and into the realm of country chic. Perfect!

Visited for a quick lunch before getting the ferry to Tarbert. Friendly welcome, efficient service and tasty food. Thank You.

Popped in to this tea room on a horrible rainy day and I was so glad I did. We had visited this tea room many years before so it was nice to go in again. It was lunch so we had bacon, sausage, black pudding rolls etc. my kids had beans on toast I think. The food was fast, tasty and very affordable to tight budgets. Staff extremely friendly, attentive and served with a smile. Will always eat at this place every time I visit Arran it is a credit to the Island and would be a shame if ever shut. Well done !!!!

We were regular visitors to the tearoom when we were on holiday earlier in the year. Lovely place, Claire and staff were brilliant and the food excellent. If you want good food, friendly service and brilliant conversation then this is the lovely little hidden gem for you. We will hopefully be back in 2016.

Lovely soup - gluten free bread if you need it - with a wee sandwich. Great for adults and kids. YUM. Very friendly staff and service.

Nothing fancy, just good honest fair. Soup (spicy sweet potato), sandwiches, cakes, and coffee (including free refills, and some friendly banter) for just over a tenner per head, can't say fairer than that.Restored my faith in Scottish hospitality, after a recent bad experience.

We played golf at Corrie a couple of times and of course, visited the tearoom. Claire and her staff are warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely scones and coffee and fish and chips are fab! Lovely crunchy batter and handcut chips.Mmmmm!

If you are on the island on a Friday make a point of checking out this excellent tea room, which specialises in fish and chips on that night only. We were self catering and ordered two take-away fish suppers at £8.00 each. We could have eaten at the cafe.We were advised to arrive about 6.00 because the locals tend to arrive at 5.00 and the fish was freshly made for us in a light batter and hand cut chips and served in a purpose made box. Service with a smile and the meal was absolutely delicious.

We stopped in here on our way to Lochranza on Good Friday. Service was fast and pleasant, good choice of menu especially for the kids. Husband had the scampi which he said was great especially with the tartar sauce - and my favourite, homemade chips. The ham and mozzerella panini was also nice and both children enjoyed their meals (one had a sandwich and the other fish fingers and chips). Reasonably priced for an island tearoom, I would definately recommend this little tearoom - they do fish and chips on a Friday evening too.

Had a quick lunch in here and had great fun with the friendly staff and occupants. Lovely hot filled rolls, excellent home made cakes and scones to takeaway as well. You can't go wrong if you fancy a bite to eat and a cup of tea!

I just wanted to let any future Holidayers to Arran to check this little Gem of a Tea Room out. It is my last day of my family holiday and Meyself,my wife, my 3 children and my mum have just had the most amazing fish and chips ever!! Only available on a friday but I believe they will also be available saturday also very soon. We have been for breakfasts too this week and all of us have massivley enjoyed them, The young lady who (I think ) owns the Tea Room is so lovely and friendly.Next time we come to Arran (next year all being well) we will definatley be dining here agian both at breakfast and dinner times. Thankyou Corrie Tea Room.. P.S. If your a coffee drinker, the Coffee is fabulous also :o)

Reasonably prompt to take order, and to bring tea. This is a tiny place, with no outlook, and the tables weren't full. After 30 minutes no food had appeared. On enquiring if the order had perhaps been forgotten, the waitress response was unapologetic but said it wouldn't be long. Five minutes later we saw a big takeaway order being delivered to a man who had come in some time after us. We again queried and said we were pretty unhappy at having to wait so long for a couple of toasted sandwiches and could they tell us when we would be served - the tea had long since been drunk. The response to this was positively hostile and as this was now 40 minutes since ordering we decided to leave without eating. Looking at what others were eating, it looked expensive for skimpy sandwich fillings. It may not bother other people, but it is also one of those places that smells strongly of chip fat at lunchtime, which then clings to your clothes.

We noticed that the tearoom at Corrie golf club was advertising Fish & chips on a Friday by placing a sign on the edge of the road by their access road. As we were staying locally this was a great idea and we offered to buy our local host some too as a treat. When we entered and placed our order we got a very frosty reception and asked if we had pre-ordered. Well, the sign by the road didn't mention the need to, so no! The lady was really very rude and said we would have to wait as she needed to fillet the fish, and huffed into the kitchen. Clearly strangers are not welcome. Luckily a lovely local couple chatted to us while we waited as they must have seen how uncomfortable we looked. When the food was ready a young man brought them over and we paid our £35!!!! Four portions for £35. When we got them back to our lodgings our host was disgusted we had been given about half the normal portion that the tearoom would generally provide. I must add what we had was really tasty and freshly cooked but the attitude of the staff was abysmal. If you fancy fish & chips on Arran, stay on the road for 10 minutes and go to the one in Brodick opposite the ferry terminal.

My mum's knees aren't up to Arrans mountains (she is 70 though), so we parked at the forestry commission at north sannox and walked around the coast to the stepping stones near here. A great walk for a mixed day of weather. So on arriving at the tearoom we felt justified in our tea coffee and cake! It was lovely, well worth the effort, and the nicest home bake we found on the island!Thank u. (I popped over the road back to car while mum paid, bonus!!)

Went in for lunch. When the order for 2 toasted sandwiches and a hot roll was taken at 13.50 we were told there would be a 15 minute delay, which we were happy with, so we ordered. Our food was put on the table at 14.45, 55 mins after we ordered. In the interval one of our party had to leave for an appointment. Was terribly disappointed as others, who came in after us, were being served cakes and tea as we waited. Others nearby who were also waiting on cooked food had similar delays.On a previous visit, the cake was lovely, Maybe the kitchen cannot cope with cooking meals.We had hoped to return to sample the fish and chips but will not be risking another wait.

We had a lovely brunch here today the food was clean home cooked and a good portion size Clare went out of her way to make sure we had a pleasant visit my wife and daughters coffee cups were constantly refilled. The toilet was very clean and bright. All in all we were happy with our meal but disappointed we wont be able to try the famous fish and chips on friday. Dont miss stopping here. Fab.

Mum took my son and I up for lunch before heading home on Thursday 26th of JuneWhat a welcome we had!I had the soup of the day which was scrumptious with a sandwich -really filling .They do a special fish and chips on a Friday which I want to try on my next visit.There are very few good quality outlets on Arran and for golfers of the world have a round at Sannox and enjoy great home cooking and a friendly welcome.Many Thanks to Claire and the girls.Iain Mckenzie

A hidden gem. We visted twice in the 6 days on the island. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend the red velvet cake and the leak and potato soup. Everything is home made and freshly made each day. Very clean and homely. Will return next year. In a beautiful setting with red squirrels to watch in the grounds (if your as lucky as we were)

My wife and I visited the tearoom on three occasions on our most recent visit to Arran. We wished we had realised the cafe existed before as it really provides good wholesome food and excellent coffee. Staff are very welcoming, conversational and helpful.Friday evenings 5 to 7.00pm, the speciality is Fish and Chips, sit in or take away. The fish was lovely and moist and the chips were excellent, home-made and tasty.Hopefully there will be room the next time we visit as space is limited and the venue is very popular locally.Email Address: cmberrie@aol.com .

I have used this simple little tea room for many years with my sixth form geologists. It had always been an unpretentious welcoming place. This time I went with my family and it was much the same. The food was good and the service excellent. Don't be put off by it being at the entrance to the good course.

This little gem of a place is tucked away by the clubhouse of Corrie Golf Club. However it is not in Corrie - it is just at the north end of Sannox. You don't have to be a golfer to go in there. They have great homemade soup, lovely meals and a great selection of cakes. It is more of a tearoom than a fancy restaurant but it is great for during the day.

We went along for breakfast to find that the owner was held up. Instead of turning us away, the lady there was more than helpful, giving us coffee until the owner managed along. She was very friendly and offered us what food she could, although we were happy to wait. Well worth the wait! We had hot filled rolls for breakfast and it was a delight to find they did vegetarian sausages, which for the 2 veggies I was with, was great news. Tasty food, with lovely brown bread rolls. Well worth a visit. Opens at 10am.

The tearoom at Sannox is a real treat, stunning surroundings and a lovely welcoming feel. Home made treats are available daily including wonderful soup and Claire's delicious cakes! The tearoom is a great place to visit wether just for a quick cuppa or a tasty lunch! And if you've been for a round of golf what better way to end your round than with a cuppa and a cake! Simply brill :)

Had lunch at this lovely Tea rooms today at Corrie and Sannox Golf course on the isle of Arran the welcome was warm and inviting with a attentive hostess Claire.The surroundings are Clean and well presented with kath Kidson oilcloth on the tables and tiny vases with fresh flowers in.WiFi is also availbable if you feel the need!Our order was taken prompt and our tea and coffee arrived within minutes of us ordering.The food arrived shortly after that and was a feast to our eyes, a BLT with a lovely fresh salad with strawberrys and a Balsamic dressing giving it that lovely tang. We ordered a bowl of Hand cut chips because we have had them before and they are the best Chips EVER! and beleive me I've eaten my fair share of chips here! The home made cakes that Claire makes are wonderful also slightly large and wonkie but great tasting,Fresh baked Victoria sponge and Coffee cake yummie. Prices are very good and I would highly recomend a visit if you are looking for that lovely lunch time treat or just a good cup of coffee and cake.What's great is that she is even open throughout the winter months.Claire also does Fish and Chip take aways on a Friday night 6pm-7.pm and they are also FANTASTIC and very popular with the locals.A must for visitors and locals on Arran.
