F.A.Q.s
Frequently Asked Questions- Do I have to book online?
- Yes, if you would like a guaranteed table or Chocolate Tasting Flight. Walk-ins are welcome, but we may not have a table for you. If you only wish to visit the Chocolate Shop, Exhibition and Gift Shop, it is not necessary to book.
- Where should I park?
- Private car parking at rear with wheelchair-friendly spaces. The private car park cannot accommodate caravans and buses, but they are welcome to park on the main road in front of the shop or in Lageonan Road car park (next left, small fee, 2 minute walk).
- Do you have disabled access?
- There is easy wheelchair access from the car park into the building. A disabled toilet is located in the Chocolate Lounge on the same level as the car park. To reach the Chocolate and Gift Shops internally, there are 3 small steps for which a stair lift is provided and staff are trained to operate it. Ramps allow external access to the shops if a stair lift is not convenient. We would like to make your visit welcoming and stress-free, so please reach out and let us know what you need.
- Are you dog friendly?
- Certified Assistance dogs are permitted inside the Chocolate Lounge and Shop - staff will need to see a branded harness or other identification. Other dogs can be permitted inside only when kept permanently in a container enclosed on all sides (such as a travel crate). All well behaved and sociable dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables when kept on a lead. Water dishes and outdoor tap are available.
- The time I would like to book isn't displayed?
- That means there are no available tables or Chocolate Tastings, but you may still visit the Chocolate Shop and Exhibition. Please try a different time or call us to help.
- How can I increase the number of people in my reservation?
- Your table may be limited to a specific number of chairs. You can always call us on 01887 840775, and we will try our best.
- How do I cancel my booking?
- Tables may be cancelled by 10am on day of arrival using the link in your confirmation email, via the Table Agent website, or phone us on 01887 840775. If you have pre-booked a Chocolate Tasting, it is only refundable if cancelled more than 24 hours before the reservation time.
- What happens if I'm going to be late?
- Arrivals more than 10 minutes late will be considered cancelled although we will try to offer an alternative if available. Please call us as soon as possible.
- Where can I see your menu?
- www.HighlandChocolatier.com/pages/chocolate-lounge
- Are you child-friendly?
- Yes, children are most welcome! Parents are responsible for supervising their children at all times. Please let us know if you need a highchair, or are bringing a pram as we need to allocate extra space. We do not have a "children's menu" however, there is a 10% discount on children's hot chocolates.

Really loved the relaxed atmosphere of the cafe, the chocolates were delicious, and it was very easy to book. We'll be back!
(Only slight drawback, although I didn't mark the cafe down for this, is that there is only one toilet available in the cafe, which can be a bit frustrating when it's busy. I appreciate this may not be able to be changed though!)

Took my partner here as a start to our day date. I had been previously, however he had not. He was over the moon! We both got the wee bundle which came with cake, tea or coffee, a hot chocolate and a praline or truffle of your choice. Exceptional value for money and tasted wonderful. Service was great, however I think the person who served us must have been new as things got a bit muddled and we had almost finished our tea/coffee before our cake and truffle had arrived, didn't seem as joined up as it should have been. Apart from that I'd highly recommend a trip out, well worth it. We will certainly be returning. Thank you!

Wow! What an amazing chocolate tasting experience! I would return when in Scotland again. The 9 chocolates I purchased were not as amazing the longer I waited to eat them. I think they are best enjoyed within a couple days of purchasing, not a week.

Rather a difficult one for me but I really can't justify marking anything down. Having seen it on TV (Tom Kerridge) we had a good idea what to expect and it lived up to our expectations. The staff were very friendly and helpful, full marks there. Expensive, yes but you get what you pay for and the audio was very good.

We spent a week in Kenmore and drove past Iain Burnett's Highland Chocolatier several times en route to various places and decided we must visit. We weren't disappointed as the cafe and shop were excellent, primarily because of the produce, supported by the friendly staff. The whole approach to his business is evident in the totally professional approach to everything from the website through to his shop, restaurant and parking.
I will always look to get there when within driving distance and I'm looking forward to letting our family try some of the chocolates that we brought back to get their opinion. In my opinion he offers an experience on a par with a Ladurée visit in Paris.

Couldn’t have been a better experience. We had the dog so we’d booked a table outside so my husband could be with dog while I went and did the experience. I appreciate this may have been a little outside the norm but when I went in our server understood exactly and made us extremely comfortable and kept my husband well topped up with coffee! The experience felt extremely luxury. The audio guide was excellent and it had a personal and conversational feel to it and I liked that you did it on your own so you could take it at your own speed. Even the little things - when I was done I went back outside, fully expecting to catch someone’s eye to let them know I was ready for the tasting experience…but it was already there freshly laid out! This was a bank holiday too so it’s not like they were super quiet or anything, this was just such an high standard of service. Absolutely excellent I can’t speak higher of the experience!

As local residents, Iain Burnett's Chocolate House is one of our favourite places around Aberfeldy.
Apart from the hot chocolate, brownies and chocolate cake which are unsurpassed, we feel completely at home in the quirkily decorated, very comfortable and relaxing lounge. The staff so well match the surroundings with their warm welcome, courtesy and elegance, that we often wonder where you find such charming young ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for the pleasure that you have given us and our guests over many years,
Margot and Gordon Stark.

Not only was everything we encountered contributory to a fabulous experience from ambience, your fabulous team, the tastes of every mouthful, the information and shop but the 1 thing which could have let you down was handled so superbly that it detracted not a jot.
For improvement: we had a confirmed booked for 1 flight, fortunately printed off to show, however we were not on your system which could've been a massive disappointment as we'd traveled from an hour north of Inverness for a birthday surprise treat & outing.
What we loved was being met by your two tall reception chaps who said 'not a problem, come with us' & seamlessly moved Steve off on his tour and me into the lounge with a menu. Both of them & the ladies in the shop were passionate, informative when we asked or commented on something, warm and engaging, seeing us clearly without being over the top in any way, the balance was just right. Showing the kitchen at work, seeing the chocolate sculptures, Steve as an engineer enjoying learning the detail of the process which he would never have imagined, the quality and quwirky decor so relaxing and easy to sink into and enjoy. And then the tastes, textures, visual delight in all that we consumed & saw on display - oh my, such elixirs, ecstasy, manna...any other chocolate now is going to pale into comparison with you as our yardstick. We intend calling in to buy Christmas presents as we head south pre xmas to family. Very many heartfelt thanks for an experience that was beyond our expectations.

The taste flight was a great experience and different to anything we had done before. So interesting hearing all about making chocolate and then seeing some of the process in the chocolate kitchen.

Loved our visit here, the shop and coffee lounge were equally lovely as were the staff. We ordered a salted caramel mocha, classic hot chocolate, fudge cake and lemon drizzle cake which was the biggest piece of cake I’ve ever received! Everything was delicious and I’d highly recommend.

It was a truly wonderful experience celebrating our granddaughter’s 7th birthday learning all about how a master chocolatier perfects his art in the highlands of Scotland! The staff were super friendly and Iain’s dulcet, informative voice accompanied our tasting experience all the way. The little gourmande naturally chose the milk chocolate ‘langues des chats’ as her favourite. Never ye fear…we will be back, Iain, to taste more of your velvety creations!
