Old Firestation - Moray

This cafe is a must-visit, especially for their renowned bacon sandwiches. While it typically closes from the end of September to April, it is currently up for sale. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own a cafe in the beautiful Cairngorms National Park!

I have to admit I didn't expect much here. We had been on the road for hours and were hungry, looking for somewhere to grab a bite. We went to the Whiskey Lodge first and had a tasting, then realized that there weren't really any other choices open, so we decided to give it a shot. The very limited menu had us asking if there was another restaurant in the area with a bigger menu, and the person behind the counter was so nice when she told us there wasn't, so we went ahead and ordered. Three of us had the broccoli stilton soup, and one had pancakes. The soup was off-the-charts delicious! It came with a roll, and was substantial enough to satisfy our appetites. In addition, the staff was super friendly and welcoming. We were sad to see that the restaurant was closing for the season and was for sale, because this place needs to keeping on serving!

We were dropped off just outside this place on a coach trip so we stayed for breakfast. Coffee was great, and we honestly had one of the best bacon sandwiches we've ever had! Great service, very welcoming. Absolutely wonderul building, contains lots of fire-fighter related paraphenalia from all over the world. The pictures of what it looked like before renovation are incredible, I'm so glad they have managed to keep this beautiful building alive! Big car park, biker and dog friendly. Quite a lot of toilets for a small place and they were very clean.

Stopped here for a coffee on our way through. Staff were friendly but the coffee was mediocre at best and no dairy free options.

The Old Fire Station in Tomintoul is lovely. The staff are helpful and friendly and its a great place to stop for tea and cake. There isn't a huge range but the quality is fabulous and the location is great. Drop in to The Whisky Castle across the road, while you are there.
