It was lovely to call back here again after many months away and we were very happy to feel safe with the covid controls in place. The cafe area is very small but they have managed the space well for social distancing. We enjoyed tea and cake and browsing around the really lovely crafts on display and for sale - by local Scottish artists and craftspeople. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and always very happy to tell you about the people who have crafted the items on display. I have purchased several items over the years including a beautiful pendant, crafted wood bowls and a woolen shawl. This time I was able to stock up the delicious piccalilli they sell! We look forward to our next visit very much.

We stumbled upon this little place while taking a walk round Ullapool and decided to have a look inside (ok ok we went in to nosey). This is a nice little place which is set up to help vulnerable adults so please give this place your support. I was told that the place smells lovey but as I was suffering from a cold at the time I cant say for sure but my wife assures me it did. It was quiet when we were in and the lady behind the till asked my son if he would like to see how the candles are made and he was promptly given a guided tour of the workings which he found fascinating (as did my wife and I). If you loves scented candles then this is the place for you although there are other gifts available too ad we managed to get a good percentage of our holiday souvenirs while we were here.
