Cafés · Newtonmore
Tucked along the Main Street with a dark frontage that puts some people off walking in, this is worth the step inside — there's a small play area to keep little ones busy while you wait, high chairs, and a garden with outdoor seating for dry days. The main room looks out onto it and feels comfortable rather than cramped, with a quieter back room if you need one. Prices are gentle for the Highlands, often under £10 a head, and the cooking earns it: creamy Cullen skink, ham or cheese toasties, warm scones with real butter and jam, and carrot cake people come back for. Freshly scooped Arran Dairies ice cream is the easy win with children. Dogs are welcome, parking is free, and oat milk is there if you ask. No Wi-Fi anywhere in town.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
