Feedback
Nestled in the heart of the Highlands, this restaurant has garnered a mix of reactions from its guests. While some diners have criticized the food and service—describing it as uninspired with stale accompaniments—others have praised the delightful local cuisine and warm atmosphere. Highlights include perfectly cooked meats, tempting seafood, and the exceptional hospitality of staff, especially one server who left a lasting impression with her enthusiasm and skill. Overall, this charming eatery offers a vibrant setting for enjoying hearty meals, though improvements may be necessary to align with the elevated standards expected in the area.
Terrible from start to finish! Service was ok but not very friendly, food was absolutely shocking. We got 2 toasties both of which were wafer thin made with the cheapest bread and totally tasteless! included was a token gesture of salad which was well past its sell by date and 3 stale tortilla crisps. I hate to say this but I’ve never seen anything as bad. Even on departure we were just about ignored whilst trying to pay. Having lived on Skye now for over a year and having sampled most of the restaurants and cafes around the area we can definitely say this is not what we expected given the standards we have received everywhere else. Having owned many successful businesses ourselves we hope you use this feedback in a positive way and make the many changes needed.
Tasteful food in an impressive scenario. The perfect place for eating in your visit to the Highlands. A charming cottage welcomed us with very good local cuisine. We were delighted.
We stopped on our journey for lunch and this place is on the main road. The service was very attentive and staff very happy. We ordered tea eith haddock and chips. We were given a large pot with real tea leaves plus extra hot water. The fish was enormous, cooked well with no bones and the batter was lovely and crispy. The tartar sauce appeared to be home made too. There were plenty of other menu choices as well as sweet treats.
Outstanding! The toasties were delicious and the sticky toffee pudding was the best I've ever had. Wanting to sample a local brewery, our server suggested the Golden Cow from Strathcarron Brewery, a delightful choice. To complete our meal, I tried the restaurant's whisky, Slàinte, and it was excellent. The staff were friendly and provided fantastic service. We also enjoyed solving the picture puzzles on the placemats. Our lunch at Carron Restaurant was a highlight of our Scotland road trip.
After traveling from Inverness with our children, and feeling tired and fed up, we entered the restaurant and everyone immediately calmed down and the atmosphere changed. It was a lovely, peaceful place with fantastic hosts and delicious food. Thank you for providing the perfect spot for us!
