Small friendly tea room with lovely food, friendly people, and nice atmosphere. Been many times for late breakfast, coffee, lunch, and afternoon tea - each time we really enjoyed it and prices are reasonable. Very nice scones!!!

Stopped for afternoon tea whilst in the area; we were too late for lunch, but their "Cake Tapas" special was perfect for two! Three slices of cake (we had chocolate caramel, orange, and Victoria Sponge), and a scone with clotted cream and jam. I had tea, my friend had coffee. The rooms are cozy, and the staff are wonderful-- so friendly and had perfect recommendations for us. (Don't mind Shed World next door-- the tea room is lovely!) They have vegetarian-- AND vegan-friendly baked goods, and are excellent with accommodation of dietary restrictions and food allergies. Will definitely visit again when in the area. Highly recommend!

I had afternoon tea for my baby shower and it was a lovely day. The food was delicious, the staff were so kind and attentive, it was so stress free to organise I would highly recommend. I also paid for cup cakes as party gifts for people to take home and they were so beautifully decorated all my guests we're very impressed. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
