Stopped here today after a walk with a small group. Very friendly service and cakes to absolutely die for. Great little find.

I had a pit stop here at the weekend. Nice coffee, nice pasty and nice people. Lovely place to sit next to the shop and listen to the birdsong.

I visited this lovely scenic place a few weekends ago as I was travelling back home from visiting family. Myself and my partner had our two dogs with us and decided to stop by to get some fresh air and let the dogs have a walk as the journey was tiring! We grabbed a coffee from the cafe and were served by such a cheery kind lady, I’m sure her name was Kaz? Such a lovely place, we will definitely be back again during our next travels!

Nice cafe doing hot drinks, cakes, ice cream and sandwiches. There’s seating next to the cafe but also lots of picnic benches around the car park. Next door is the public toilet. Cafe takes cash or card. Things seem reasonably priced. Staff friendly.
