A lovely old fashioned tea shop. Went in for a cup of tea and was served with the best ever fruit scone and also my first ever King Charles 50p coin. It also helps with having very pleasant staff.

We stopped at the Bothy for lunch after our Cairngorms hike. The coffee shop was so cute and cozy on a beautiful Scottish day! We ordered two Tomato soups and a grilled cheese- sadly they had just run out of tomato soup so one of us got the Lentil, which was reported as very good. I think I overpaid for a grilled cheese but overall- the atmosphere was so cute and the shop smelled amazing of pastries!

Went for breakfast after a night of camping. The food was amazing and just what we needed, with an excellent range of vegan options too. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The facilities were clean. It is also attached to a little outdoors shop.

A fantastic café and outdoor shop with lots of vegetarian and vegan options. I had the full vegan breakfast which was delicious - especially the vegan 'haggis' - and was very reasonably priced too.

I had such a great lunch and rest here after backpacking in the cairngorms. The staff were lovely and happily charged my phone and battery pack. The food was superb and I'll definitely visit again if I'm back in the area !! Highly recommend.

Love the old Town feel. connect to the next-door store and counter order. Staff polite and accommodating. Order the Ham and Cheese with local soda(Summer house) and Soup. Soup very good and creamy. Sandwich feel fresh and well toasted. Excellent food

Lovely place to take a relaxing break for coffee and cake. Nice tasty selection of cakes, with a few flavours I hadn't seen before and prices were average for drinks and food.
There is also a souvenir shop attached although those prices are rather on the high side aimed at tourists only.
The staff in both parts of the premises are all very friendly and helpful.
Parking is easy and free in nearby car park.
