A friend introduced me to this place and I've never stopped going back. Think of the quintessential…read moreEnglish Tea Room, put it next to a small beck in the middle of the English countryside, with a garden overlooking the Somerset Levels, with Glastonbury Tor on the horizon. Add some locally sourced organic food, and a proprietor that caters for dietary requirements AND an art gallery and you'll get close to Annie's Tea Rooms. Probably the best Banoffee Pie I've ever tasted, not to mention the salmon and pasta; oh and the ice cream. This a place where you can wake up and smell the coffee and STILL be in the same place!

My husband and I stumbled across this darling little place while out "rambling" in the New Forest…read morelast weekend. It's an old railway station and the walls are filled with old vintage railway paraphernalia; everything that accounts for it being "cute" and "quaint". The food is very good. We only got some baguettes and chips so nothing ground breaking (hence the 4 stars) but it certainly hit the spot after wandering around in the fresh air of the forest. I highly recommend the Twice-Cooked Sleeper Chips. They're fantastic! My husband had a cappuccino and he gave it a thumbs up (I don't drink coffee so you'll have to take his word for it). We also got some carrot cake and a piece of Millionaire's Shortbread to-go. We ate them later that afternoon and again: delicious! I suggest going and maybe trying something more interesting than the egg mayo baguette I ordered. While very tasty, they've got loads of other delicious sounding dishes on the menu such as gourmet burgers, free range omelettes and full English breakfasts. My whole family is coming over next year to visit the UK and my husband and I soundly decided that we will be bringing them out to the Station House so they can enjoy a truly English dining experience out in the very picturesque New Forest.

Lovely spot for cream tea. The scones were good albeit a little on the small side…read more There is a small garden out back.

They offer a wide variety of GLUTEN FREE options for both meals and baked goods. And everything (with or without gluten) was phenomenal! The staff/owners went above and beyond to accommodate my daughter to the point it brought a tear to my eye. They genuinely made us all feel very welcome and treated us as if we were valued family. The outdoor garden space is so peaceful and beautiful. A must stop for everyone!

The Old Post office is a beautiful old building in idyllic surroundings, with chickens, flowers and…read morefields as far as the eye can see. The owners, Nicky and Pete are simply lovely, they can't do enough for you and make a mean breakfast! They have a lovely, old red setter called Bertie, who deserved a lot of my fussing over! The room was quaint and old fashioned in the nicest sense, with a comfy bed, wardrobe and t.v, plus gorgeous views looking onto the garden. It holds a large on-suite, with a huge bath but my only complaint is the shower didn't work too well, the temperature of the water couldn't make up its mind and kept switching from hot to cold, forgot to mention it to them though. This place is perfect for Ramblers, a short distance from the centre of Wareham and Poole. I recommend!

I love this place!! During my trip to England we had the pleasure of driving through the town of…read moreBurley, where the animals roam wild (primarily horses). This place was snuggled in the middle on town - and it was here that I had some of the BEST clotted cream tea ever! The service was excellent, this place was very quaint and clean, and there's an outside patio too. Before arriving here we had sampled clotted cream tea at a few other places, but when we tried it here it was excellent - a cut above the rest. The quality was superb. Definitely one of the most memorable and enjoyable places I visited during my tour of England, I highly recommend taking the time to visit this town and their lovely tea room and restaurant.

Plenty of time given to scan the delightful menu & special's board. Ordered our lunch with a choice of home made cakes. All comes out high tea style. The tea is just divine..

This is something of a hidden gem in Poole town centre. It is located about equidistant between the…read moremain shopping area on the high street and the quayside. It has a narrow front between two other shops, which meant that I missed it for several years despite walking past it every day! The Courtyard has an impressive selection of teas, including some specialist teas which are blended by the proprietors themselves. The interior offers a small seating area with four tables in what appears to be a converted house. It is very cosy, and the kitchen opens onto the seating area, adding to the homely vibe. I ordered some of the House special Russian Caravan plus the creamed mushrooms. As the inside was rather busy, I was offered a seat in the snug, which is a separate outhouse reached through the lovely quiet courtyard. The staff were very hospitable and even nipped across to the supermarket to fetch ingredients which they did not have on the premises to make my order! Inevitably, this meant that the speed of service was rather relaxed. But I would happily have stayed there all afternoon, it was so peaceful. A real hidden gem, as I said before, with a calm atmosphere and really polite friendly staff. Enjoy a tasty, home-cooked cake or meal and a nice pot of tea (served in cast-iron Asian pots) when you are in no rush to be anywhere else. Children and dogs are more than welcome - I asked on behalf of my sister and niece who were visiting!
