Colonsay House Gardens Cafe

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
