The House of Bruar (Scotland) Reviews

Gets bigger every year. Always very busy on weekends. The new fish and chip place on the way in is a great new addition - quick service and great fish

Fantastic place to shop. Its for locals too remember, and there are lots of them! You must also remember that in remote spots it costs more to get goods delivered there. The quality is excellent and the wide choice is a pleasure to browse and try/buy. The staff are superb. Give me House of Bruar over Harrods any day - great location, stress-free and your custom is valued.

We find everything to feast the eyes and feast for real!

House of bruar was extremely busy I wasn't able through my disability to stay in for a meal because the huge queues outside

Not really for me. Lots of touristy stuff, specialist foodstuffs, homeware, wool, cashmere and silk screen at spectacular prices. Restaurant very busy and a bit pricey, but portions quite generous.

Huge place with everything from clothes to fresh meat & fish, with a big range of everything and all high quality and add local as it comes. Understandably the prices are higher though.
Restaurant is very expensive but the fish and chips near the entrance are reasonable prices, taste good and cooked fresh to order (and they do pies or lobster too).
Situated just off the A9 so makes a convenient place to stop on a long journey

Great place to visit, plenty to see,has it's own cafe restaurant and even a butchers

Wonderful and amazing but oh my goodness it's not cheap! Seriously amazing deli and high quality clothing. Really good day out.

Nice place to visit. Also do not forget to visit the Bruar waterfall, it's walking distance away (30 min to the upper bridge).

Excellent facility. Great cafe and restaurant. Good variety of clothing departments including an outlet.

Expensive , suitable for Non V A T paying charabanc tours .

Almost getting to big. But a wonderful market place.

Take away fish and chips were great !

Main restaurant.... a fantastic choice but very expensive.
Many items sold in the range of shops were geared towards tourists with accordingly inflated prices.

A real shopping outlet. There are mainly clothes and food, hardly anything else. The prices are still a bit high for an outlet. It is very modern and clean. Parking is available enough.

Currently undergoing car park maintenance, but still a lovely visit. Some excellent small batch gins available.

Just so much to see. Fantastic stock in all departments. Great food in the restaurant and a relatively new Fish and Chip area now open till 7pm. Vety friendly and helpful staff.

Rather depressing place full of expensive stuff that you do not really need.

Was exceptionally busy and found difficulty finding parking space especially disabled one, not enough for size of the place, also restroom facilities totally inadequate. It's a shame cos we normally enjoy visiting on our way to timeshare and on way back but Will consider giving it a miss in future.

Beautiful shopping experience, attentive and helpful staff, could spend the whole day there!

Over priced but pretty, tip if you are looking at the whisky look it up on amazon first.

Stunningly unique and yet quintessentially Scottish shopping experience. Top quality produce and clothing. More marmalade than you've ever seen in your puff. And the ultimate rest stop for travellers

Great shopping and cafe. High end outlet and some beautiful goods for the house and stylish clothes. All under one roof

Perfect rest stop on the A9 for good quality food, high end clothing and stuff you don't need but might like. Prices reasonable and above in the main halls and restaurant. Outlet hall cheaper. Out of season sales often have bargains

Fish and chip shop on site fab and great location especially the gorge walk behind the site. Otherwise it's full of overpriced goods trying to rip of tourists.

Not to mention the owners terrible behaviour towards staff during Scotland 2014 independence referendum.

I respect the business providing jobs to people in the area. Can't forgive owners for being NAW BAGS! And threatening staff! You decide if you want to give them your business....

SAOR ALBA!

The worst of what can be taken in the influence of the organization of large American parks. A place for those who frequent Courchevel. To flee.

Great stop off point, food court is awesome as is the restaurant.

Nice walk to the waterfall, then watch your eyes in the shops!

Extremely upper class services, if you drive a Bentley then this is the place for you. Clean, tidy, well set up and a pleasant place to stop, maybe buy some lobster and champagne before continuing on your journey. I bought a few nice gifts here before carrying on my journey.

Ordered a jacket paid fo it got order and delivery confirmation,no jacket arrived called to find out what was going on. Turns out that the jacket wasn t in stock, no notification or apology customer services couldn t be less helpful. Called them again on Monday customer service was much improved but told me they had found a jacket and it was being processed again no communication from HoB pretty poor really customer communication needs much improvement

Love looking round here, which is all we generally do as we couldn't afford most items. Lovely place for a cup of tea and watching the everybody go about their business

A little expensive.food affordable and nice authentic man gear

Good quality products. Expensive though, the Harrods of the north.

A lovely place to stop for a break. Clean and tidy loos. Great food. Can be pricey but so worth it. There is a childrens play area and places to walk dogs.

Lovely and everything is expensive. Toilets were well used by everyone.

In general I do enjoy visiting the shop.
I use the butchery department as they did sell wonderful meats. I was particularly fond of the bacon, so much so I had it delivered.
The last batch of bacon, was far lower quality than the last 2 years, in fact, discount supermarkets is better.
Despite sending the order back at my expense. Then having a replacement sent, which was still no better in quality or taste, I'll refrain from purchasing anymore.
House of Bruar once cared about the customer and service they offered to the customers, but unfortunately it's slipped. Such a shame.

It is worth it, good food, good stores, it is worth stopping and seeing it.

A great place to visit excellent cafe and chippy as well as food hall and alcohol sales. Great selection of both ladies and gentlemen wear

Car park well laid out, and even denoted place for car with dogs - on sunny days. Restaurants has the most efficient payment line anywhere in the Highlands - and food is good too.

Stunning place to visit with a huge variety of goods to choose from .

They've got some lovely souvenirs which you can take back home!

been there today after 2 years... I promised my wife to get some whiskey cheese 2 years ago and was happy to be there again to fulfill my promise.I was doing video chat with my wife and talking over the cheese then as i kept on walking butchers department- i think they were 3 -started shouting at me saying that i cant video their style and was quite rude to me. I shouted back to all three saying that im on video chat with my wife and they had no right to shout at me. i demanded to speak to the manager but she wasnt around. Looked around for a while to let her staff's rude behaviour but couldnt find her and i just left the shop. Such a great place many of staff are lovely but Butchers department was rude .What a hassle!

Brilliant place to stop for a bite to eat and for the dog to walk and for me to shop of course

Loverly place to visit.
Bit on the expensive side for buying stuff. So credit card is needed.

Expensive. Pretentious but nice place to drive to/visit. Lovely river/waterfall/walk behind establishment

Has a bit of everything, shops, eating choices, relaxation and great location

Very relaxing place to eat, lots to spend your money on... well worth a visit

Very much aimed at the tweed & twinset crowd on their way to Aviemore.

Amazing selection of shops. Great place to stop for a rest break. The chip shop at the front looks good. We had a selection of cakes in the restaurant which were lovely. Not a cheap place to stop but everything seems very good quality. Could spend a whole day browsing here!

Perfect pitstop on long drives amazing setting as well

Great stop over local produce,little eating place, shops and gallery.

A beautiful place to stop and take in the sights of the waterfall. House of bruar has every thing from drink and food to clothing and fishing tackle. It is definitely worth taking the time out visit and view all the authentic and traditional Scottish food and clothing and take in the sights at the waterfall. Visit every time we travel down that road.

Very expensive. Had steak and ale pie chips and vegetables. All luke warm and chips could have been cooked yesterday. Awful.
