Café
The café is light and airy, and features nice solid wood chairs and tables. There’s a range of cakes, soups and light meals to choose from. Although we haven’t had a meal yet, a mushroom scone was delicious! We also enjoyed some delicious homemade cakes like orange, coconut and lemon, and lemon and thyme flavours.
The prices were reasonable for a farm shop café; it was less than £30 for snacks and drinks for all 5 of us.
Environment
The building itself is constructed of carefully chosen living materials, so that it sits comfortably within the landscape.
There are also pleasant surroundings to enjoy outside, with picnic benches and tables by a small pond. We particularly liked watching the swallows nesting in the eaves.
We all enjoyed our delicious snacks and also browsing around the shop. Loch Arthur has become a favourite place we look forward to visiting when in the area!
