The House of Bruar (Scotland) Reviews

A great place to buy all things Highland related. Far from cheap but very high quality. Has a great cafe as well. Bruar Falls is a short walk up the track next to the car park

Lots of nice different gifts and some amazing jams as well as fruit and veg...well worth a visit

Absolutely love their Macaroni Cheese here. It doesn't disappoint and makes up for the price a bit even though it's self-service. Plenty of seating. Nice staff. Lovely toilets.

Is just great for shopping delicacies. Also beautiful Highland clothes can be found. The HouseandGarden department is gorgeous!

Lords,Lairds of the manor shops here,cashmere and knitwear heaven for our lass and gun jackets,plus fours and brogues for our farmer Giles.Cafe is very good and reasonably priced,cakes to lobster is served here and you won t be disappointed with the homemade cooking.Overall very expensive but it s like Selfridges in the Highlands but nice shopping experience 4

Almost overwhelming in the variety of products for sale. We particularly loved the food hall. The service in the restaurant was a little slow for self service and they appear to struggle at peak times. Disappointed to see a coach given that they say they don't allow coaches. If they start allowing coach parties, that will be the end for us.

Lovely place but cant eat in the open cafe part as there is wild birds flying around I seen them land on the table while people were eating pity cos it's a nice place

Great day out and a lovely walk after you have done your shopping and had lunch.

We traveled quite a distance to make a birthday purchase, having checked trip advisor ( dog friendly site) and the Bruar website ( nothing about No dogs)... Upon arrival we were rudely told by a member of staff that dogs were not allowed....no purchase made and will never return...for being "THE" country store for the, country set.....No Dogs!!!! Not for me , my dogs are my family....lesson learned..

Has got too big inside seating was full we had to sit outside, it is covered with heaters but no pleasure in having coffee etc, in future we will bypass and go to the bankfoot restaurant where you are seated and served ,more civilised.

For me, this textile shop or collection of textile shops appeared on the road to scotland. nice things are there, from expensive to cheap, you just have to look for something. A few kilometers further on there is such a center for whiskey and even one for liqueur.

This place is brilliant. A one stop mecca for country clothing.

Superb stop on A9. Cafe excellent. Department store clothing very good quality, at prices to be expected.

Beautiful setting, top quality goods, out of my normal price range but fantastic for an occasional treat. Excellent, knowledgeable staff. A must stop any time I'm passing.

Expensive clothing but we'll worth the visit for the food hall

Didn't go into the building, the car park was full so couldn't park. There were long queues at the outdoor toilets/ cloakroom. Clearly a popular place, perhaps too popular...

Excellent, for food eat in, food, wine, whiskey, clothing. Lits if parking. Snow recently..

Beautiful clothing and home ware if you can afford it.

Good place to stop for a break heading North or South but overpriced.

Interesting collection of shops and a lovely self service cafe (with a varied choice including lots of seafood and delicious soups) with seating in a big heated conservatory. We went after our walk up by the Falls of Briar which starts right next to it

Wonderful mushroom and smoked garlic soup and a doorstep of bread to go with it. You can't go wrong

Fabulous food hall, and 'country' wear for those of that inclination.

An expensive store that isn't particularly well sign posted in the store. The atrium for the restaurant could benefit from some additional heat sources in the winter when the indoor main restaurant seating area is busy.

I always enjoy stopping at House of Bruar when travelling to the central belt. Great food, and lovely shops to walk round.

I'd give them 5/5 if they had more toilets. Waiting 15-20minutes for access to baby changing facilities isn't great. The last twice I've had to change my son in the back of the car. I'm led to believe there is a changing mat in the ladies toilet, could one be added to the gents?

Just love this place. Everything about it is first class. Got beau shoes lately.

Beautiful place to visit with luxury goods,the foodhall is amazing

Wonderful produce for something a bit special. Clothing departments are of a very classic nature but I still usually find a wee hidden gem. Makes for a nice afternoon out, set among stunning scenery.

Lovely place to shop
staff are very friendly

Very expensive but lovely clothes. Also many other shops. Food is delicious in the restaurant. Very clean and tidy

Nice place to go shopping for quality clothing and much more.

It has very varied and excellent quality products. I loved it

A good stopping place, easy to pull into from the A9.
As I use this 3/4 times a year to visit the Highlands it's good to report the service & smartly dressed curious staff & cleanliness does not falter.
Plenty of parking whether you choose to use the shopping experience which is always exciting for its range, visited their website, they do mail order across the world now.
Or parking up to walk/cycle the many pathways nearby.
Food a plenty to suit all tastes & pockets including a beautifully laid out food hall.
A delight to see even from an architectural aspect summer or winter.

This place is amazing! We only looked at the food as we are massive foodies. Yes you pay a premium because most of the produce is premium. Is a great place to stop and treat yourself to some excellent local produce that Scotland has to offer. Most definitely worth visiting.

Great range od products to suit all tastes and the best place to find a gift for that special occoasion.

The food court is a must visit and is a great place to pick up the best food and drink scotland has to offer.

Well worth a visit and it is a joy to explore the different departments as everything is so well presented.

So many interesting things to see and buy. And a great lunch place to break a trip.

Posh and expensive. Loved the idea of a undercover area for the dogs parking.

Nice place to stop when driving on A9. This was recommended by a Scottish friend. Large variety of food, if a little expensive for cafeteria-style food. Ample variety of Scottish goods.

Beautiful place to visit and to do a bit of shopping

Had lunch in the restaurant which was excellent. Nice place to visit all year round but especially Christmas time .

Just love The House of Bruar, cheery,helpful staff, deli counter is a must as is the restaurant.

Very expensive for everything go to Pitlochry half the price

Myself and some friends stopped here as a wee break in a long car journey. It is a wonderful pit stop, extremely high end, the toilets even have bags for sanitary towels. The shop was also lovely for a little wander round before getting back in the car!

Always good bargains if you look carefully, think a season ahead and you are onto a winner

Good place to stop for a break after a long drive. Has shopping and food.

This is an amazing place. Everything you need that is stereotypically Scottish. This is what Americans think of when they think of Scotland. The restaurant is excellent if a little (but probably rightly) pricey. A really emphasis on fish. If, as I do you like smoked mackerel, you will be delighted to find some very high quality stuff - even some of it reduced! If you want to feel like you've had some Highland colour - go here.

Lovely place for shopping but, due to the restrictions and the mini heatwave that we had that day, all was good.

Expensive but quality goods, fish and chips are excellent.

Always a good place to stop. Food is very good and shopping excellent. Bruar seems to get bigger every year but PLEASE more toilets.

Very good selection of quality goods but not cheap. Very good restaurant and fish n chip place. Worth a visit. Surrounding area gorgeous.

Lovely breakfast....food is always great. A fabby wee days shopping at HoB

Had squid and chips from the chip shop - very tasty. The large queue moved quickly too

Really nice place but very busy. Felt out of place and very expensive. Interesting place to go.

This is an impressive business. It's grown and grown. They have thought of everything. There's an Art gallery, food hall (local produce), Womenswear, Menswear, Sale clothes, Country living, Cafe, Shoes, Bags, I'm sure I've forgotten something. Then there are the falls of bruar, beautiful walk just next to shop. There's even a Chip shop! Great place to kill a few hours or buy a thoughtful gift.

Three stars because it's a commercial mall in the country ... totally overpriced ... but some probably like it ...!

A nice place to get all you require, sells a variety of products including all your usual delicuses, a bit on the expensive side was my only problem, disabled access and free parking is available, there is also a restaurant and chip shop which offers nice food but again overpriced for what you get, a place I would visit or use maybe once or twice

So many tasty things in one place. And you can buy clothes and plants there as well. Don't miss out on the waterfalls behind the building.

Bloody rip off would not use again if you want a breakfast travel a further north to Newtonmore grill fabby breakfast at normal price

Great stop on the road north. Hellish expensive though

The Harrod s of the Highlands, superb clothing, food, Household essentials. Expensive, but the quality is worth the price.

We only stopped to use the loos and have a quick lunch. ...food was as good as ever and facilities were top drawer...
