"What a lovely group of people that run and work in this place. We visited in May on a very busy day, right at the end of service. When we asked if they had any vegan soup or cakes left, they apologised that they had ran out with it being such a busy day. Thinking nothing of it, we left and didn't get a chance to try again until our final day on Colonsay. When we visited again for a walk before our ferry to Oban, we bumped into the manager there who told us that she had hoped that we would have came back earlier as she had baked a vegan cake specially for us. This was such a kind gesture, we were blown away. She was finishing for the day but insisted that we speak to the staff once we had finished our walk and that they would box some up for us to take away. We did that, but unfortunately the very helpful man couldn't find where it had been stored. Not a problem as the thought behind it was the main thing. However, next thing we knew as we were waiting in the queue for our delayed ferry, he had actually driven down to the terminal to give us our cake. It was delicious! Service doesn't get much more generous or friendly than this. We will not forget it, and it will be our first port of call when we return next year. Thank you so much!"

Lovely place to eat and enjoy a quiet seat. The food is lovely all home made by Katie. A great stop on the way to the beach

An excellent lunch overlooking the beautiful gardens. The feta tart and salad was delicious and the cream scone an added bonus!

We visited this cafe twice on a short visit to Colonsay. Wonderful, imaginative homemade soups, scones, delicious cakes in generous portions. Everything made locally using seasonal ingredients.

Simple and delicious homemade food served in the garden terrace by two friendly youngsters from Latvia who arrived on the island 3 days before lockdown- great credit to them for sticking it out.

Fantastic selection of freshly baked cakes in lovely garden with friendly staff : We went twice, once on a walk from Scalasaig and then on the way back from the beach. Gardens worth a trip round too.

Friendly staff, great food and a fantastic location. We had hot drinks before walking round the gardens, then returned for lunch. Colonsay smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel and cinnamon bun excellent. We’ll be back next time we’re on the island. Thank you.

The gardens include an amazing collection of trees, shrubs (especially rhododendrons), mixed borders and woodland walks. A blast of colour on a misty day and a good place to shelter if the weather is inclement. The café was run by a lovely young couple and sold delicious homemade cakes and sandwiches. Highly recommended.

Arrived upon opening time at noon to a lovely greeting from the 2 ladies in charge, Moreover, 5 freshly baked cakes to choose from cake heaven! Hard decision. Got big slices and good coffee to enjoy outside on the patio overlooking the beautiful garden. Cakes quite expensive at £4 a slice and coffees too, but this is 2022 and just have to accept it and 'we 're on holiday ' .

Popped in to visit the gardens and just had to stop for a mocha and one of their cinnamon buns before my walk. I was lucky to have great weather so sat on the sunny deck and made the most of the sunshine. The gardens are just stunning and worth a visit. The cafe does lunches also so will definitely make a point next time to have lunch also. Lovely friendly staff and overall a great visit.

"We booked this restaurant after reading the reviews while touring Scotland what a disappointment. When we arrived we were shown to a table straight behind the door and as it kept opening and shutting it blew a massive amount of cold air in. As both parents and staff allowed 2 young children to go in and out every few minutes it got a bit much. We were given the menu and told specials were on the board. No description or recommendation. Also they did not say the board also goes over the top of the fish on didplay. I had crab claws to start the mayonnaise was lovely and what I could get out of the claws was nice but I was given no instruments to get into the claws and they were not broken enough for them to just pull out. I ordered the turbut for main as did my husband it was a small fillet with the skin correctly removed but it was loaded with garlic butter sauce you couldn't taste the fish for the garlic. Also which was worse I don't know what they did to the top of it but it was yellow and like thin rubber. We had to peel it off it was not good. I didn't complain at the time because I am not used to having a fillet of turbut. When I have had it before my husband and I have shared a turbut presented whole at the table. I have only written this today after speaking to some friends who said i should put something on because there had to be something wrong for the top of the fish to be yellow and leathery. You might guess but I won't be going back."
