A delightful stop on our motorbike tour of Scotland. Delicious array of desserts, beautiful setting overlooking the Loch, outside and inside seating, really friendly staff and good parking for the bike. Just Perfect!

Travelling on the NC500 saw the cafe and decided to stop for lunch. First impressions were good however the 'lunch' menu was lacking in what could be seen as everyday items. There was a specials board offering a soup and a roasted pepper dish. I would have expected to see at least an offering of jacket potatoes, something with chips perhaps or a bigger selection of normal sandwiches but they are trying to be too fancy. It may be why only three tables were occupied during a lunchtime. This establishment is not what I would call a cafe but more of a tea and cake room. As there was nothing for us we left.

Really friendly and helpful staff. The portion size for the cheesecake was huge (and it tasted great too). With views of the Loch, outside tables and parking I would highly recommend a visit.

Wonderful cozy cafe! Lovely place with a great menu and very good coffee and cakes! On a sunny day you can eat outside and it’s heavenly! Eggs Benedict were delicious! Dog friendly, our dog got some tasty treats and loved the staff!

An absolutely magical wee cafe that serves traditional Scottish food as well as their take on some more exotic food. They do fish and chips takeaway on a Friday and sourdough pizza on a Saturday - both are class!

Such an utterly delicious and friendly place. We had soup and a pizza for a late lunch and it was all so fresh and tasty, absolutely delicious. Kept us full for the rest of the day . Lovely vibe to the place and such friendly folk working there. Wish we didn't have to move on tomorrow because I would love to go back there

This cafe is a real treat to visit, which certainly can’t be said about all eating establishments in Scotland. We had just finished a short stay in Applecross and were starting our long drive home to South Wales when we were looking for somewhere to stop for breakfast. Boy were we lucky. The Waterside was just opening at 9:30 when we were passing. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the food was fantastic. We were so impressed that we bought some cakes to fuel us later on route and picked up a couple of packets of biltong to try when we got back. We have just tried the biltong and it is every bit as good as the best biltong we’ve ever tasted in South Africa. If you are ever passing close to this cafe in Lochcarron, you’ll be making a big mistake not to call in and sample some of the wonderful food on offer.

It’s always a pleasure and relief to find a Highland cafe, like the Waterside, which is open on a Tuesday in late November. Even better when we found that Tuesday is ‘Fish and Chips’ day—some of the best fish and chips we’ve ever eaten: melt in the mouth haddock, light batter, thrice cooked chips, and superb homemade tartare sauce. Even the pot of tea was top class. Add to that lovely, cheery, friendly staff, a select range of gifts on sale which will make good Christmas presents and, of course, a lovely view of Loch Carron out the window. And for a further treat, go three miles further along the coast to see the picturesque ruins of Strome Castle.

Popped in yesterday for lunch on our way from Skye to Badachro. Two ladies on duty were warm, welcoming and kind. Menu was varied and had some delicious options. The cakes on display were beautiful backed up by tasting amazing. All in all this was a great place to stop, great food & great staff. Nice experience.

The sign said 'wait to be seated'. So I waited....and waited.......and waited. Staff skirted around me, the chap behind the counter studiously ignored me and the young waitress almost looked like she was going to acknowledge my existence.... But no. Eventually someone came from the kitchen area and could see me! Only to inform me that the empty table at the back was booked. Fair enough, but why was I ignored for so long. I had a previous bad experience with mislabeled food and only went again under pressure from hungry visitors.

Stopped whilst on the NC500 route at Lochcarron at this lovely little cafe/coffee shop. There is parking for customers directly opposite the cafe. There are toilets inside, seating inside and out. Staff are very attentive and professional. The place is clean and spacious, with a good menu and local products for sale. The pineapple and coconut cake was perfect as was the espresso coffee.

It was a lovely day and we saw a table available over the road. We ordered tea and cakes and they said they would bring them to us. The location as stunning, looking onto the Loch. Service was very prompt and the food was lovely. Glad we stopped off here.

We came across this little cafe by accident, having discovered our intended lunch-stop was closed which led us to drive a little further on into Lochcarron. We're delighted we did though, as we had a great experience. After receiving a warm welcome we ordered two pizzas and two smoothies, sitting inside to escape the blazing sunshine. If you are visiting on a Saturday, bear in mind it is a limited menu so only pizzas plus sausage rolls (which were sold out by the time we arrived). However, we can definitely highly recommend the pizzas; the homemade base was delicious, as was the tomato sauce and various toppings, and they were great value for money considering how large they were. Special mention as well for the smoothies. We both had the Tropical one, which was excellent and very welcome on a hot day. Sadly we were too full to sample any dessert, but the cakes on display looked amazing as did the scones (which you can get with clotted cream and jam). We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area and hopefully leave enough room then to try something sweet!

Nice but bit hectic. Stopped in for takeaways and while everything was nice it just all seemed rather mad, despite it not being too busy. Waited quite a while to be served and the gentleman seemed to be at his wits end with a group of american tourists. Just the start of our nc500 journey so was a bit interesting.

The cafe was very well prepared to manage customer safety with all staff wearing face masks and visors and screens within the cafe separating the tables. The cafe offered the option of seating inside or outside. The lunch we had was a tuna sandwich and a salmon baguette both of which were very fresh and very tasty. The cafe provided an extensive lunch menu and also had a wide variety of cakes on offer (which we managed to resist). The cafe was overlooking the loch and had parking outside and across the road from the restaurant. If looking for something to eat in Lochcarron I would certainly recommend this excellent cafe.

Food okay albeit a bit bland, service okay and interior of the place also okay, but what takes the edge of the place is the sense that it’s all a bit of an effort for the people who run it and work there. The walls had various rules and regulations posted on them, which seems unnecessary and is certainly off-putting. So definitely wouldn’t go back.

I had just finished a 4-day walking trip with campstove cooking so wanted some good but basic food, most particularly Macaroni Cheese 'n' chips. Service was prompt and staff pleasant. I was offered salad with my macaroni which I declined as I find it personally a poor combination. The macaroni was delicious but a tad overpriced in my book. I then decided I would quite like a cake and whilst there was plenty of baking on offer, I made a poor choice. I am vegetarian and I suspect my chocolate dime bar cake had marshmallows (they contain gelatine) in it but it ,was my mistake for not checking. The texture was dire. It was like eating rubbery tyres and although it was chocolately it definitely didn't hit the spot. However what really put me off eating was the excessive and unwelcoming signage on every wall, including the doorway to the toilets (very clean by the way). Fair enough the cafe doesn't provide wi-fi. fair enough they do not want people coming in and charging their mobile phones over a 2 hour 1 cup of coffee break whilst the place is heaving but there are less obstrusive and more customer friendly ways of dealing with this.than repeating that it on every wall using words like " this is our office space" which immediately made me feel I was stopping them working! This signage was in contrast to friendlIiness of the staff but I still felt that I needed to hurry over my meal (I was in and out in 45 minutes) or I would be accused of table blocking even though there were empty tables. A simple "no wi-fi" on the end of the menu woiuld suffice and if people are table-blocking advise them, politely but firmly, that their table is needed.

Visited this cafe this morning for breakfast and was absolutely shocked to find we were charged £10 for a pot of Tea that served 4 people. It is the most expensive cup of tea that i have ever had and as a result will definitely not be back. This was a pure rip off. I was unaware that Dick Turpin had relatives in the area.

Ordered two baked potatoes with cooked chicken. Had to hunt for the chicken under the mayo, more mayo than chicken. Side salad was minimal, however you had a bit of a balancing act as all put on a side plate, suppose this is to make the food look bigger. Two flat coffees were poor also. Bill came to just under £20. Won’t be back which is a shame as we holiday in this area every year for a month.

I had the good luck to work near lochcarron for nearly four months and at least every other day I popped in here, the owners and staff was great the view was great and the food was great, I do hope I can return one day.

Stopped on our way over Bealach na Bà to Applecross. Small family run inn, we enjoyed a full Scottish and coffee. Service was good, food excellent.

Was in Lochcarron for the week with my husband and visited this cafe a few times. Had the breakfast which was cooked to order and plenty of it, filled us up for the day and tasted very nice indeed. Another day we stopped and tried lunch again lovely. Homebakes also available (we tried the jammy dodger which was lovely). Great coffee as well. Worth a visit while in the area folks.

A really large group of us with kids booked in for a late lunch. The menu options were comforting pub grub style which were great for everyone. We were well looked after by the lovely staff were lovely and it was very reasonably priced.

This was a lovely experience, the food was not ' swimming in grease' as i saw from another review, but it was great to see that the more recent reviews have been validated. We went here for my birthday at the end of october and honestly everything was really lovely . the service was great they were so friendly from the getgo, the charcuterie board we had for starter was very filling and diverse just wish they would have told us what the cheeses were ( i think the brie was from tain though it was familair) but thats a minor niggle that we had no info. the main courses were fab the skin on chips were AMAZING , and its a dog friendly place which we loved , we dont have dogs but we did get to pet some which made our day !

We know the Tongue area very well, and like to eat locally, so it was obvious we would decide to eat at the Craggan, and i'm happy we did! The restaurant area is welcoming and clean, staff friendly, and the car park was easy even with a big van. The only problem was choosing from the menu! So many tasty things - i wish we had more time to visit again.. All three of us enjoyed our food, and we shared everything so i know it was all delicious. Thank you for making a rather wet evening so special..

Stopped for the night while doing the NC500 with my husband and 8 + 9 year old kids, one of the only places in Thurso that you can have a sit down meal! Absolutely delicious meal, got the chicken Ceylon roll as a starter and it came out piping hot and so fresh!! The flavours were absolutely amazing! My husband had the medium spice chicken Ceylon curry and said it was amazing, the flavours and spices were absolutely spot on! I had the mild beef Ceylon curry and it was equally as good! All cooked fresh to order and you can tell as it was piping hot and so fresh to taste! There is a children’s menu for the fussier eaters, my daughter had spaghetti and my son had a burger and there was no complaints from them! Our first time trying Sri Lanka food and won’t be our last thanks to this restaurant! Staff are delightful as well☺️
