We arrived with a double buggy to a very welcoming and helpful greeting on a Saturday morning. Such a great atmosphere we had a lovely visit. Enjoyed some breakfast and couldn’t resist some cake to go for later. We will be back again for sure.

Lovely service and delicious dishes! I recommend the first salad on the menu, the one with the goat cheese, it's simply superb. The scones are exquisite, freshly baked and flavourful. I absolutely recommend this place for a vegetarian meal! ;)

A wonderful tea room, with a great atmosphere and really great service! I quite enjoyed the music choice as well, and the lemon drizzle scones as well.
