Customer Review Summary
Breakfast draws the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling out the big breakfast and small breakfast, often paired with a mug of tea, as reasonably priced and delicious after a morning of fishing. Coffee cake and other bakes also get singled out as clearly not shop bought, and several mention the outside terrace by the ponds as a highlight in summer. Staff come up often too, described as friendly across multiple visits. One dissenting review calls the same staff rude, describing a worker who mocked customers for forgetting their PIN, and claims the cakes on display looked prepackaged and minimal, a complaint other reviewers directly push back on. A separate four star review otherwise enjoyed the peaceful, dog friendly setting but notes there are no bins for dog waste in the car park or nearby.
