We dropped in for lunch on a drive from Tarbert to Ness, stopping at the usual tourist spots. This wonderful, beautiful spot was a world apart. The moment I stepped in I heard one of the staff give a cheerful “tìoraidh” (bye!) to some people...who were leaving. The cafe was packed, but the hosts graciously assured us we would be taken care of. and we were sent off to the museum exhibits, which were well organized, lovely, and Gaelic-language centered. The shop too featured Gaelic-language merchandise. Lunch was amazing- that fluffy white bread!!! Amazing and reasonably priced. The wait staff were cheerful & efficient & kind, to the customers and with each other. All I can say is if I thought I was saying goodbye to Lewis on this trip, the Comunn Eachdraich Nis may be the welcome I needed to come back again. Tapadh Leibh, a h-uile duine.More

What a fabulous Centre! Very informative. A credit to the local community. We got the opportunity to chat to the locals as Gaelic, wonderful people. A much better experience than the museum in Stornaway. Is iontach sibh, obair mhór mhaith ar siúil agaibh.

Visited this venue today. A fabulous museum, a super gift shop with a lovely assistant Rhoda, the tea room is amazing, lovely home cooking and home bakes , served by Angela and a great team. There is a superb archive centre to give you help...with your family tree. This is a MUST if your in the Ness area,do not drive past it,stop for a visit,well worth it.More

We started with delicious toasties and coffee , followed by a visit to the museum. What a treat! Joan McLeod was on hand to tell me about the Adabrock Hoard recently retuned to the museum on loan from the museum in Edinburgh. Sadly back only...for a year. There was so much to take in during our visit that at least one more visit will be necessary to do it justice.More

We stopped here as I am interested in the history of the island. We could not sample the cafe as there was a private function (coach trip) but that was ok, we could walk round the museum. The museum is in two parts, the first...is the day to day life of the island and is very interesting. The 2nd part is simply stunning in terms of the hoard and the discovery of for me this was simply amazing at the items found. It was made all the more interesting as the curator, a man I sadly forgot to ask his name, took the time to explain the origins of the hoard and sword. It was incredibly interesting and the timeline on the wall and depth of the peat theoretically on top of it, was staggering. Well done for a great museum.More

An unplanned stop here was well worth it. Firstly because they have a great café and we fortified ourselves with an excellent scotch broth followed by cake. Second, some really interesting and well laid out historical installations plus artworks. Thirdly, a great little shop with...local crafts and art plus books, both about the area and its history and also fiction set in the Outer Hebrides. Bought the Peter May trilogy here, set in the islands and haven’t been able to put it down! Highly RecommendedMore

We stopped to visit the museum and also had a very nice lunch. The museum is small but very interesting and currently has a special exhibit of Viking treasures found in the area. The docent was very knowledgeable and interested in sharing. The cafe was...large and able to accommodate us despite a bus load of folks arriving at the same time as we did. I enjoyed the lentil soup of the day and my husband enjoyed his toastie. We split a piece of chocolate sponge cake, yum!More

If I said this place was good it would be an injustice.....it's actually brilliant. We visited twice on our Hebridean Adventure (my mother and I ) each time welcomed into the building by lovely,friendly,helpful staff who I believe are largely volunteers. The Museum is very...interesting with lots of local artefacts ,there's a nice little gift shop with many items from the local area. Food is absolutely top-notch and great value for money and if you've still got room the cakes/tray-bakes are simply divine. Each and every time we're staying at Lionel,approx 2 miles down the road,we'll be re-visiting this place...honestly can't fault it. We're from Huddersfield ,West Yorkshire which we dearly love..but this is "another world". Thank you everybody for making our visit so enjoyable.More

Saw this by chance, stopped in for lunch….really lovely. All good freshly made, good portions, reasonably priced, great staff. Perfect 🤩

This was a semi-unplanned stop as we explored the general Ness area. We happened to be passing lunchtime and thought we'd stop, grab a sandwich and see what there was to see. We were greeted by Agnes, who was very friendly and helpful, telling us...all about the centre, and finding us a table in the cafeteria, despite it being full of a coach tour. We had very nice paninnis and then explored the museum with its genuinely interesting displays on local history, activities etc. We're really glad we stoppedMore

We came across this delightful museum/coffee shop and a trip to Port of Ness. Lovely warm welcome at the door where the lady explained the layout to us. The small museum is well put together with sadly things we both remember from our youth (didn’t...think we were that old) 😂. The school desk and chair, old telephone and pre decimal money. Plus many other things that were new to us. Very informative. We had lovely coffee and cakes in the cafe. Definitely worth a visit. Everyone so helpful and pleasant. Makes all the difference xMore

Warm welcome. All bright, clean and comfy. Good wee menu, fab soup and issues if gluten free. Museum undergoing works for an exhibition this spring. Definitely will be back.
