The House of Bruar (Scotland) Reviews

Was a horrible wet day yet we still had a lovely qalk in the scottish country side. A short but challenging route to be enjoyed by adults, kids and pets and the scenery was just beautiful.Lovely well presented shops at reasonable prices and lovely food.

Large selection of foods and other goods with an in-house butcher's shop and a restaurant with a good variety of dishes.

Clothing stores with a large selection of clothing for outdoor activities and a mix of well known brands.

Quite pricy but the quality of the goods is amazing.

Nice food and well maintained but the staff are getting grumpier

Too busy, to expensive but a very nice free walk out the back to the Waterfalls

Warm, welcoming place. Courteous staff and enough products to satisfy all walks of life.

For such a supposedly upmarket attraction staff on tills and on the shop floor were slow, unfriendly and unhelpful. The toilets where quite frankly disgusting, dirty and smelly with lots of people commenting on the fact.

We did however have a delicious (overpriced) lunch served by very friendly staff.

Expected better to be honest.

Enjoyed the experience. Lovely lunch. Beautiful shops with some end of season bargains.

Good place for stopover and enjoying Highland hospitality

Not cheap but great range from quick snacks to full meals. Friendly, efficient service. Fantastic for gift ideas.

I only had a short visit to this place but to walk around the place is beautiful, not something you'd expect to hear about a small retail park but it really is. Quite a few of the items however are rather expensive.

We were there this August, eating and browsing stores. To spend the afternoon, there are also some very beautiful waterfalls, near there. I recommend it.

Wow what a fab store. Well worth a very long browse. It is full of stunning things. We only came out with 2 beautiful dog beds. But could have bought so much more. We were sad we ate else where as the cafe here and food Hall looked so great.

Lovely place with a great waterfall walk however we were followed round one of the shops like we were going to steal something!

Check out the food hall by all means but don t miss out on the walk up to the falls.

Good cafe and nice surrounding. Clothing is extensive range and choice but quite expensive. Well worth a visit. Mid way between Perth and Inverness so handy stop for a break.

Little expensive but a good place to visit and the selection of whiskeys and local beer is very good.

Worth a look for only to see how expensive the clothes and food are always busy

Essential, you do not expect in such a secluded place that quality

Total incompetence in their online ordering system. TWICE have had items shipped to a previous address despite my having changed my details in their system. Avoid at all costs.

Lovely meals there, quite pricey for coffees but nice day out

Enjoy looking round this amazing place had fish and chips at the chip shop which was very enjoyable

Superb facility for classy country food and clothing. Don't forget to visit the sales building for great bargains

Scottish souvenir shopping in all its glory! A beautiful campus of shops selling anything from traditional sweets to Scottish mountain clothing and books, but rather overwhelming and with steep prices.

A good place to drop in on the A9. There is a wide variety of things on offer from food to clothing. Items are expensive but are aimed more at the luxury/country market. The food in the food hall looks great.

Expensive but a lovely place to buy gifts and presents. It's a good stopover on A9 with luxury toilets and refreshments.

It like being at Disneyland. The restaurant looked great, like an Italian piazza and all undercover, which is what you need with our weather. Great stopover point and loads of parking.

Brilliant choice of shop and goods, excellent quality

Stopped for dinner and very over priced but quality of meal was poor.

Quality Products ,Not sampled the restaurant but would be of excellent standards I'm sure. I love the choice in the good court and I shall have a good shop when I pass through. The Clothing on offer here is Amazing too . We as a family absolutely love the place. Good Toilets and baby change... very clean and kept to an extremely high standard ...... A must if you are nearby

Lovely place, ideal for break going up the A9 and plenty motorhome parking.

Always a great place to stop, I notice the cafe has vegan chocolate cake so will try that next time and they also have a fab fish and chip shop, staff in the whole establishment are always happy to help and professional, we always stop here

Just got most of my Christmas shopping done in House of Bruar gift hall today. Always enjoy a trip there. Best to avoid the restaurant at peak times though - they need to sort out the through-put as it's a bit of a melee!

A regular and reliable stop on the Edinburgh to Inverness drive.
My girlfriend and I stopped for lunch on our last visit, and had some soup and cake to eat. This is not a cheap stop for food, but this is reflected in the quality and variety. Plenty of hot options for those who want.
There is also a great quality food store on site, and other items available too.
Lots of parking, the nicest public toilets ever, and pleasant staff. The location gets busy, so be prepared.

Free carpark and toilets (cloakrooms located in the indoor shop area). Unfortunately the restaurant did not have much options for vegetarians and the fish is beer battered. There is soup and basic sandwiches. Lovely building though and pleasant staff.

Superb day out. Good food. Hide your other half's credit card before shopping! High quality merchandise.

Great place to visit, the food hall has a fantastic selection but rather overpriced.

Saying this, we'll return for a proper look around the other shopping area's soon, likely as part of a day out.

Wide range of clothing, food, gifts and souvenirs available, generally of very high quality. Staff can be helpful, enthusiastic and a pleasure to deal with. Cafe/restaurant good value but can be very busy.

Fun stop for Scottish souvenirs and snacks. A bit stuffy atmosphere and slightly over attentive staff but enjoyed the food sections the very best. Put rice her a lovely picnic from all their goods for a long drive up to Isle of Skye.

Fabulous place to go great food clothing everything you need I loved it

Expensive. Staff are very welcoming though. Need a mortgage to buy from here.

Expensive and disappointing - found a hair in my slice of carrot cake!

Excellent customer service and range of brands and products

A lovely store full of very high quality; clothing, outdoor gear, home goods and food shop. They have a nice restaurant and are also on the path of a great walk around the local area. The prices are rather high however the quality of items on sale more than merits the cost.

Perfect as always beautiful articles excellent value for money

What can one say other than this place is treasure trove.

Have watched the development of this site since inception. Now regarded by many as the "Harrods" of the north. Not cheap but the choice and variety of goods available is mind-blowing; how about lobster carry-outs!!! The "cafeteria" provides an excellent watering hole on the A9 too.

Fabulous experience. Everything under one roof. Excellent customer service.

Extensive selection of clothing and footwear, items to meet the challenges of the Scottish weather. Has a well priced restaurant, great lunch. A 'must visit'

Lovely experience, lots to see and explore new items

So en route North on the A9? House of Bruar so worth a stop for so many reasons. Not least the restaurant, food shop, gifts, cashmere, lobster and chips etc!! etc. Can't think of anything tgey gaven't got.

And the luxurious toilets.....with warm wood panelling, beautifully clean marble floors, soaps and hand towels and leather chairs for lounging. Yes...you heard me right...leather chairs for lounging.

Lovely staff and service. Breakfast much of which is made to order.

Worth stopping? Oh yes!!

I dislike the way that House of Bruar refuses to put any stiffening into the collars of its clothes for women. I bought an expensive jacket, and found that without stiffening, the lapels curled and looked sloppy. I contacted the firm, and they got a seamstress to sew the lapels down! I did not think this was a terrific response. I have also bought blouses and find the same unpleasant phenomenon. The tips of the collars curl outwards. In a tailored garment the edges also look twisted. I will not be buying any more blouses or jackets from the House of Bruar. Beware.

Nice shopping center but everything very bad at the price ..

Expensive... But a great day out... Be sure to visit the falls when you're here!

It sells meals, souvenirs, clothes, fishing tools, etc. in places like in the parking area in Japan, and it is very fulfilling! There is a waterfall that can walk a bit on the back, it is also a sightseeing spot!

Wasn't impressed honestly... crowded stuffy overpriced for the good stuff and the cheaper priced stuff was poor quality or made in china..which was disappointing. Having said that...the foodmarket had lots of bikkies, toffees fudge jams jellies n sweets that were worth picking up.
