"A hidden gem! This lovely shop sells not only handmade aromatic soap, candles, lotion etc. but also has one of the nicest secluded tea-gardens I have ever seen. This place lies off the beaten track, go the extra mile and discover this beauty in the Highlands of Scotland. A must see"!!
The Secret Tea Garden @ Assynt Aromas
Take a look out of the back door of our candle shop and you will discover a hidden oasis. Covered in a canopy of parasols you can relax in most weathers in our garden area and sample the tasty delights we have on offer in a beautiful relaxing tranquil setting. Scones with clotted cream, fantastic cakes, savoury options, fresh coffee, tea, cold drinks and ice cream. Stay a while in our garden or grab & go. We have a very relaxed system. We don't take bookings, its a 'first come first served' basis and we always find room for everyone! We welcome dogs with well behaved humans ;)
please note: public toilets are located at the Drumbeg viewpoint
" Stopped off at this lovely hidden coffee/candle shop and was amazed! From the outside it looks like a shed, but went in and found a lovely shop with handmade candles, wax melts and moisturisers. Out the back is a little garden, covered in umberellas. Had an amazing coffee & cake, while my partner had a cheeseboard. Felt so relaxed and chilled whilst sitting in. Bought some wax melts as a gift as they smelt amazing".
"A rainy day on our NC500 trip by motorcycle! Stopped at the viewpoint at Drumbeg and noticed the secret tea garden sign (i do love a candle as well) so we popped in and were not disappointed! lovely green tea, scone, coffee and cake in a peaceful leafy setting even nice when damp. Lovely candles, soaps etc as well really made my day on a long wet ride"
