The best restaurants in North, West and Central Sutherland Highland Highlands and Islands

First time I was there 3 years ago, I was super happy, the dishes were delicious but this time 29/03 I was completely disappointed. I ordered scallops - terrible, presentation great and taste simply unappetizing! my partner ordered fish with peppers - it was edible. We ate because after the whole day on the nc500 route we were hungry but if there was any food stall nearby I would have left Peets restaurant. I don't know what changed but for 3 years I recommended this restaurant to everyone , BUT now NO.

£7 for a pie, however jam packed and delicious! Bought some for home, they tell me they’ll freeze and give you a little leaflet about reheating at home. The problem is… they were eaten way before we got home. They were so good.

A set price of £43 (plus a 10% service charge) gets you a nice 3 course meal. That works out at £9 for a starter, £9 for dessert and £25 for fish & chips (with peas). £7 will get you a pint of ale at the bar or £7.70 if you order from your table. £29 (plus 10%) will get you the cheapest bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. We’ve eaten here a few times over the past 4 years simply due to there being no competition for miles around. It’s always been decent but overpriced. We ate on a Friday evening and despite being told it was probably going to be busy, only 7 tables out of the available 17 were occupied. The staff were friendly and pretty efficient. Would we go again? Probably, because there’s nowhere else locally. The location and view are excellent, if you go during daylight. At night you won’t be getting any sort of view whatsoever! I know they took some flak in the press for their prices a couple of years ago and reduced them slightly. I’d love to give the place 5 stars and wish them the best but it’s simply too expensive for what it is. Wouldn’t like to see it closed down and derelict though.

Enjoyed another fabulous meal at the pier on Friday 7th March. The service was faultless, the ambience perfect, sociable and classy without any pretentiousness. Most importantly the food was outstanding, obviously made by people who know what they’re doing and care about the quality, it was sublime. The cost was spot on, not cheap, just right for the quality offered. Everything finishing with the coffee was first class. Thank you

Fantastic food with wonderful ,friendly and chatty service from Stephanie.The Cullen skink was so good that I had it two nights in a row. The cranachan was excellent too. The breakfast morning rolls were tasty and fully loaded .A great find adjacent to the North Coast campsite.

The food was absolutely delicious. We were intrigued by the menu options as they sounded very different, but oh my did the flavours not just go so well together! The burger was amazing, clearly good quality beef. The curry was also amazing. The burnt pineapple dessert and cremebrulee with passion fruit were to die for. Not things I’d have normally chosen but so glad I did! Great value with 3 courses for £30 - so worth it for the quality and flavour of food. We were intrigued by their own pilsner - the owner very kindly allowed us to try some. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to come back for a pint of it. Would love to come back another time!

Visited here with my son while doing a tour in Scotland , what a lovely place. Certainly worth a visit if you’re in the area and have some nice food and gift shop as well.

Excellent find - a must visit - 5 tables only in a very secluded bay. A great experience. Highly recommended - well worth the side-track.

After a long journey this little stop was exactly what was needed. So quaint and met all our needs. I had the best egg Mayo roll ever. My friends enjoyed the ham and cheese toastie and tuna Mayo rolls. They also served one of the best espressos I’ve had. Definitely pleasantly surprised. Would come again.

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..

Fantastic hotel with such a warm welcome from the owners. Rooms exceptional and the meals superb. We felt like guests in their home and will certainly return again for more than one night. Amazing to hear the deer rutting on the hills and owls hooting from our bedroom. Highly recommend this hotel to others, nice to hear about wild swimming and possible option to kayak next year. Many thanks for a wonderful stay.

Excellent supper, had a very good rib eye cooked medium rare paired with an Argentine cabaret sauvignon, delicious and all expertly delivered by owner Patrick. Highly recommended.

Great experience overall. The service was great. The food was great. The manager and staff went all out to make sure my elderly mother was assisted into the restaurant and made comfortable. I will recommend to everyone i know.

On est d’abord frappé par la vue : magnifique surplombant la plage. On découvre ensuite un salon cosy où se détendre avec un verre pris au bar. Le soir venu, un dîner au très bon restaurant de l’hôtel clôt la journée. Le service est à la hauteur du panorama : impeccable.

Despite cappuccino being served in latte cups it was good. The wraps we ordered were virtually inedible. Wrap was doughy and raw. Tuna mayo was dolloped without a care in the world. ‘Salad’ consisted of brown cress. Then we had to ask for cutlery and napkins. Oh and the crisps were soft. There’s no excuse for not being able to serve up and appetising snack. My recommendation: take sandwiches and a flask and enjoy the wonderful beach.
