Pleasant and comfy seating with lap trays when you're seated on a couch. Staff vary in friendliness from the lovely to the grumpy so it's a bit hit and miss. A selection of 3 soups usually available every day with baked potatoes, paninis and toasties/sandwiches the main offering here. I am a very regular customer as this place is right next to my work, it's always busy but I think it more a case of the ideal town centre location than any particular love of the cafe!

The decor was that of an old fashioned ice cream parlour. I was served by a rather haughty Italian man who told me to go for vanilla. Not one to argue, I plumped for the cone with a flake.

The focus is on the tearoom, which is delightful. They sell a combination of home-made produce, plus things imported from other farm shops and quality suppliers throughout the country. It's a lovely place to stop off for a cuppa and some cake or a light lunch. The main attraction however is the woodland walks around the estate. There's a walled garden and acres of farmland. It's lovely to take the kids in springtime to see the lambs and calves. Most of the things you can eat in the tearoom are also available to buy and take home from the farm shop. This is a tad expensive, but the goods on sale are very nice and it's always nice to treat yourself to something a little bit special every now and again. Worth stopping for.
