The House of Bruar (Scotland) Reviews

Stopped here en route from Edinburgh to Inverness. Supposedly a good place to shop for ladies clothes, however we didn't. Excellent toilets alongside the restaurant which was exorbitantly expensive. Instead we shared a freshly cooked portion of haddock and chips from the little takeaway which was well worth the money.

Excellent place, throughly recommended. Meals are also lovely.

Very nice spot near Bruar Waterfall. Quite expensive but really nice food.

Has a lovely cashmere store and other clothing store for both gender. It is quite expensive tho. Theres a shop with loads of sweets teas tablet cookies and other confectionery products. Theres also home made options and souvenirs. Theres a resturant inside thats usually busy with alot of food options and theres also a fish and chips shop on the premises. Ordered a fish and chip and it was absolutely delicious and cheap too. Theres ample parking space too and amazing scenery.

A bit pricey, more suited for the country gent life style.

Can't really comment on the shopping experience. However the food me and the family had for lunch was lovely!

Beautiful well presented food hall. Nice to shop or just to look around. Something to tempt everyone. Many other halls of clothes, homeware etc.

Very nice shop with a large selection of specialty foods. Also suitable for souvenirs.

Very well presented retail outfit in great location. Worth a visit.

What a lovely store to shop in. Lots of variety and choices and the food hall has great gifts and a lovely restaurant

As usual very enjoyable and a great place for food and clothing and presents.

Great place for soup and a sandwich. Shop is a bit pricey.

Great placeto stop off on your travels up north. Or to spend a day out. Lots to see and buy and good eating. Plenty of parking.

Resaurant excellent. Great place to stop for a break on the A9.

Excellent personalised service. Top quality merchandise. Lovely food.

Big place, lots of choice, helpful staff. Food hall is impressive. Very much a tourist stop, and I'd not particularly want to eat a meal there, but the food hall is good, clothes seem about the same price as anywhere else (mostly premium labels like Barbour) and it's clearly a place that's had a LOT of money spent on it, and employs plenty of locals, so should be supported.

Avoid like the plague if you have a physical disability.

Good place for breakfast and a mooch round shopping centre

Nice little area to stop at when traveling. Nice amenities with a store and restaurant. Hiking trail also.

Very upmarket centre that the hunting, shooting & yeeha person will love. The rest of us enjoy the window shopping

Very good place for an outing. Good food and facilities

Shopping centre is awful but the walk to the waterfall behind is amazing.

Beautiful views from the top of Bruar falls and lovely lunch in House of Bruar and ofcourse a little retail therapy too.

Staff were amazing, but place was terrible to navigate. Especially with the pram

The sale was great value. Real bargains if you know what you want and there was plenty of opportunity to spend lots of money.

Some of the friendliest staff I've ever encountered. We visited early in the morning and it was quiet and all the staff engaged with our toddlers and had conversations with them several times.

Delicious breakfast at the restaurant.

Great selection of toys. My son fell in love with a wall full of John Deere tractors and my daughter loved all the bears.

It was a very nice but costly experience!

After shipping and breakfast we took a walk outside up to the falls - it was icy conditions so we didn't make it all the way but the walk up to where it got too icy was beautiful. Lovely woods and views of the river.

Huge place with a massive variety of all possible items. Good for gifts or treats. Lots of food that is a bit more specialist. Great honey and local items.

I stop by this place when visiting up north. At the food and drinks section they do a lot of free testers and you should try the whiskies and slow gin they do. They also do a good batch of their own mead (honeywine) the prices can be a bit steap but you get what you pay for.

Great restaurant, wonderful menswear selection for the discerning gentleman.

The choice there is formally overwhelming. If we weren't traveling by plane, I would have bought well.
But it is quite crowded and it is quite far to the waterfalls

Love the house of briar. Quality goods and excellent restaurant.

This place is huge! Theres loads to buy( it's a bit pricy). Theres a heap of options for food. A mate had the big seafood platter and it looked insanely good( if you like that stuff)

Dubbed 'The Harrods of Scotland'. We rarely purchase anything other than food but it is always worth looking as they sell beautiful items. Cafe quality is excellent.

Always a popular stop for a light lunch when travelling south and north on the A9. Good toilets and lovely hot water.Quick service in the restaurant and reasonably priced. Plenty shopping opportunities as well. Soup is always homemade and piping hot.

Perfect place to stop off on your travels. Do a bit of shopping and have lunch.

A very nice place for a dose of retail therapy. Food in restaurant is good. Lots of food items to buy as special treats.

Well worth a visit to the food hall and restaurant. Highly recommend the steak pie

Signs to falls are confusing. Sale shop is excellent

A nice place to break your journey and enjoy a quick bite. Good shopping too.

This place is incredibly crowded but has rightfully earned its nickname of the Harrod's of the North. Like it's namesake it is pricey but sells an amazing range of good quality produce. Love the cheese counter. Clothing is incredibly expensive. A brilliant place for a quick loo stop when travelling along the A9!

Best stop on our way to Inverness!! We really enjoyed our walk to the waterfalls of Bruar!!And our coffee an brunch at the House of Bruar afterwards. Reasonable prices and lovely staff :) :)

Puts shops to shame, service excellent staff amazing.

Lovely place to stop for a break has an area for dog owners to allow dogs to stretch there legs and have a drink. Nice chippy that even serves lobster!! Along with other shops but everything is rather expensive.

Wonderful...clothes..garden..food superb..great representation for scotland..

The good parts are the free toilets, the food hall serves a good variety of options, and the parking is plentiful and good for stopping a campervan. The rest of the facilities are not to my liking as it is an overwhelming barrage of expensive goods. Some of the stuff is really high quality but lots of it is just aimed at selling Scottish themed items to tourists at high prices. I know some people enjoy the shopping experience but be prepared for it if you plan on stopping here.

Great meeting place half way down the A9. Lovely toilets, loads of parking, even parking especially for dog owners! Didn't eat or drink here. Lots of high-end shopping if that's what you're into!

Quality establishment. They have expanded little by little as the business has grown over the years.
Excellent restaurant, very popular.
Ladies and gentlemen's clothing may appear to be expensive but it's clothing from the best 'names' in fashion.
A good 'shopping experience'

Went into the ladies department to buy a Barbour jacket today. Fantastic choice and thank you Yvonne for all your help and patience!

Tremendous range of gents clothing on show. Great food hall and pleasant lunch.

Could spend all day looking and spending very friendly

Lovely place for a walk, great choice of produce in the shop and the lunch options look great!

Nice place. Always assumed it was a distillery for some reason. Just happened to stop and discovered it's actually a restaurant, garden centre and shopping outlet.

Good place for a short meal during a longer route and for those who have more time can spend pleasant moments in the beautiful nature

Classy with expensive but superb homemade food and baking.

Excellent place. Great food, very good for shopping, right location for a stop on A9

I had soup to start with then I had steak pie very good
