We visited Aviemore back in June and a friend suggested we go here. A bakery within a nursery in the Highlands? Sounded interesting to me! It was pretty easy to find from Aviemore, about a 10 minute drive. When we arrived there was plenty of parking on the left hand side of the road, opposite the entrance. To get to the bakery (called The Potting Shed) you walk through a beautiful nursery, the tea rooms are at the back. You can sit in the main tea room area or in a side room where you can eat cake and take in a spot of birdwatching as well. Sadly this area was full but there was plenty of seats for us in the tea room. As we sat down, the staff laid out the cakes on the counter (they keep them in the fridge until customers come in). Honestly, they laid out about 10 cakes on the counter for us to drool over (not literally). We all took it in turns picking out a piece of cake and ordering tea, and the treats were quickly delivered to us. They even had a good range of gluten free selections and the cake itself was heavenly. This was a really lovely stop off in the Highlands and I would highly recommend it if you're anywhere in the area.

This place has been named as one of Britain's Top 10 cake shops by the well respected Dan Lepard! Last time I was here I was pregnant and suffering with hypermesis gravidarium (extreme morning sickness), and wasn't up to sampling any cake. However I thoroughly enjoyed watching the red squirrels and the birds from the viewing area which overlooks the wildlife feeding station. Today I finally got to sample some cake. There was a huge variety of cakes on offer. I plumped for plain old Chocolate Cake. On tasting, this cake was far from plain - it was deliciously light and moist, not too rich and had the most beautiful shiny chocolate glaze on top, finished off with a dollop of cream. I could have eaten this twice! I may have to fit in another visit before we head back to Glasgow at the end of the week!

The amazing…read moreFeugh Falls runs into the Dee river, and is broken up by a collection of grey and black boulders, it's really stunning. As you drive over the little single track stone bridge, a little cottage like tea room appears, perched on the bank of the river. It obviously had some extensions added over the years, but they are tastefully done and in keeping with the feel of the building. They don't have much parking but we found a spot and took a little wander through their garden to enter the building. On entering we were a tad unsure as to where to go. They also do weddings and reception parties, so there is a lot of announcements about them, but none for a cafe. Walking through into a large dining area, which was empty, I spied a busy cafe area further to the back. When I got to the serving area the lady was very apologetic for not being there to meet us. She seated us in the quiet dining area as we weren't ordering a full lunch, and it started filling up pretty quickly. Hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows (no chai lattes!) and fruit scones with real cream, jam and butter. They came quite promptly, but we were happy to wait as there was a lovely terrace which looked onto the river. Very peaceful and atmospheric. The hot chocolate was nice. A little rich for my taste, but very nice. The scone was beautiful, and the cream delicious. It's not the cheapest place, but considering it is Outside a tiny village, a tourist trap due to the river, and up in Aberdeenshire, I don't think it was too bad. £12 for 2 hot chocolates and 2 scones with all the trimmings. I'll definitely be popping in for another visit next time I am up visiting my friend.

We arrived on a quiet afternoon, where the town seemed absolutely dead and we were the only people dining. The decor is absolutely adorable with giant tables, fairy-lights and hand-written signage. It very much seems like a labor-of-love for whomever owns it. We were shocked at the low prices. This was probably our least expensive meal on our whole trip, including fast food stops. We didn't order the afternoon tea (served on a cake stand) but I was stunned that it was less than five pounds. In London, we spent 40 pounds for a similar experience and that was on the low end of afternoon tea pricing. I ate a 1/2 BTL and a bowl of cream of potato and leek soup. My husband had a ham, mozzarella and pineapple panini. We loved out meals! We topped them off with a brownie and a tropical fruit dessert bar. The bakery has a very extensive selection and everything looked great. Besides the atmosphere and food being outstanding, we had a wonderful server. We are so happy that we stopped at Poppy's!

As well as the expected tartan & heather souvenir stuff, they have some nice jewellery, handbags, scarves, novelty mugs, kids' toys, candles, stuffed toys, stationery and other household essentials like lightbulbs. They have a fondness for plaques with witty aphorisms, such as 'sometimes wine is the answer to life's questions'... you get the idea. Down one side of the shop is the tearoom cafe, which is one of the few lunch options available in Aboyne, so consequently it does a roaring trade and gets very busy. We just had soup and a sandwich, but it was nice home-made soup, and the coffee wasn't too shabby either.
