After recently being involved in a RTC we had a 1.5hr wait for our recovery vehicle. The police in attendance mentioned this place was open as many were shut on the 27th. We had a small dog and although the don’t take dogs made an exception and made us feel really warm and welcome. There was a great selection of fresh hot and cold food to suit both mine and my picky girlfriends tastes. They even offered the meal on the house, which we really appreciated. But as a small business we wanted to pay for the hospitality they showed us. Would recommend this place for a good bite to eat and a drink. Thanks again to all the kind staff.
Unfortunately our quick visit today to the Coffee Bothy was not an enjoyable. My “mocha” was cold and not strong, my partners “mocha” was volcano hot, to the point that the milk was burnt. She took two sips and it was poured down the drain. It seemed that the young server was not properly trained to a high enough standard, her attitude was also unfriendly, unwelcoming and rude. The toilet was also in an unsatisfactory condition, with a dirty floor. We will be back in future and hope this was a one off as the shop was extremely busy. The other server was polite and the cafe itself seemed bustling with life.
The breakfast was delicious, but unfortunately we did not receive our meals at the same time. Additionally, the food was served on freezing cold plates, which was not ideal. Hot food on cold plates is not the best combination, especially considering how cold the cafe was (we could even see our breath at one point). However, since it had just opened, the cafe eventually started to feel warmer.
Very disappointed, ordered a sweet chilli chicken sandwich and it came with an inch of chicken bone within it. Informed staff and they were dismissive, bordering on rude, certainly no apology. Got the impression they were only after your money. Better off walking the extra distance to Poppy's. Would not go back. Basic food at over inflated prices, with poor service.

Very disappointed, we ordered three toasties in which we found a long hair in one, way more cheese than needed in one so the middle hadn’t melted properly and was cold. service was okay they started hoovering around when we were waiting, didn’t have much time to look at the menu as felt rushed asoon as we entered.
After taking a cold walk, we enjoyed some delicious hot food at this restaurant! Since we had our dogs with us, we sat outside and the staff kindly set up a table for us and even brought water for our furry friends. Despite the rain starting during our meal, the warm food and hospitality was greatly appreciated!
The baking array was superb, the coffee ok but how hard is it for waiting staff to just eye contact and smile at waiting customers to acknowledge them. Service was slow and sullen I am embarrassed to think this is the greeting given to visitors to the area.
I stopped at The Coffee Bothy when travelling from Orkney to Perthshire. There was a mix up with my order but the staff more than made up for it giving me a picnic to take on my way it was all delicious and very much needed and appreciated. Thank you.

The food at this restaurant is excellent, especially the lentil soup and half sandwich. The service was also pleasant. The Malteser slice was particularly yummy. Thank you.
