There are plenty of nearby options to top up on supplies – although all are a driving distance away. In Bonar Bridge there is a Spar with small bakery. There is also a Spar in Lairg – this is larger and better stocked than Bonar Bridge. For wider selections, Tain has a decent offering including Tesco, Lidl and also Asda. Ullapool also has a Tesco. However, there are also choices in Dornoch and Golspie.
Where to eat while staying at Ceol Mor Highland Lodges? We can recommend a few for sure – Invercassley Tea Rooms in Rosehall do simple and honest hot meals at very reasonable prices (they also deliver to us); The Pier in Lairg is great for both lunches and evening meals. Try and get a seat overlooking the loch if you can. Go further afield to Tain (Platform 1864 and Greens are both good) or Dornoch (Milk & Honey is very good for lunches and breakfast). Delilah’s in Lochinver is very good – as is the Lochinver Larder for pies! We are in a fairly remote area – for this reason we are not within walking distance of an eatery or pub. However, this is absolutely part of the beauty of our area where we live.
We’re sure you are not expecting much in terms of takeaways! There’s no Uber Eats, Just Eat or anything else like this here – it’s pretty much back to basics. There is the Crannag Bistro in Bonar Bridge and Rosehall Tea Rooms can deliver to the lodges.
Lastly, on the subject of where to eat at Ceol Mor Highlkand lodges there is one thing we do locally. Yvonne loves to do afternoon teas and can take bookings (at least 48 hours notice please) for up to 4 people. We hold these in our Sun Room at the main house that has a 180 degree panoramic view up and down the river from an elevated spot. Yvonne is a fabulous baker and we would highly recommend this – the tastes and superb views are brilliant. Also, we can do takeaway pizzas that will be cooked in an outdoor Ooni pizza oven and even delivered in a pizza box to your lodge. Please do give us at least 48 hours notice too. High winds or heavy rain won’t allow us to do pizza’s we’re afraid – although, these things are rare in the summer months.
