“We had a fantastic stay in the Oak Tree Inn when filming for Julia’s ITV series, Britain’s Best Walks. This lovely family run business could not have helped make our time in the beautiful village of Balmaha more enjoyable and hope we can visit them again. 
St Mocha is our new Coffee Shop and Ice Cream Parlour. The name St Mocha was inspired by the Gaelic Bealach Moc-ha, which translates as ‘The Pass of St. Mocha’ where the name Balmaha derives from.
