Stables Café

The Stables Café offers a range of light bites, pastries, and both hot and cold drinks until the 27th of April. Set in a beautiful location, it’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a warm, family-friendly atmosphere with genuine Hebridean hospitality.
With plenty of seating, both indoors and outdoors and ample free parking, there’s no need to book ahead—just drop by and make yourself at home.

Escape the crowds and queues of Skye and relax in a historic location with stunning views across to mainland Scotland. Situated in the Sleat peninsula, known as the ‘Garden of Skye,’ our Stables café supports a local charity and young people from the area. In addition to enjoying award-winning gardens and a museum, there’s plenty to do for families, including a woodland playpark. The surrounding area is home to amazing flora and fauna, with sightings of whales, dolphins, porpoises, and otters throughout the summer. The café is also a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards Winner for 2024, rated in the top 10% of visitor attractions worldwide.

Whether you’re meeting friends and family, visiting our award-winning castle gardens and museum, or simply looking to escape the hustle and bustle, we look forward to welcoming you.

Pieris is in its stunning red phase just now, adding a pop of colour to the garden before it shifts into blooms. No maintenance needed – just a bit of acid soil and it’ll keep showing off all year long.#Pieris #gardensofscotland #ArmadaleCastle #VisitSkye #HighlandsofScotland
