Lovely place to visit and enjoy decent coffee and a meal. The staff are friendly and attentive to your needs. The huge trees that line the driveway are amazing and the grounds are lovely to walk around. We go there regularly as a family.

Fantastic staff. Great menu. I enjoy sitting with a flat white reading some of the free books they have on Buddhism

A friend and I have been coming here for a few months now, and although they don't have the hugest range of savoury options, the food is always delicious and homemade. Everything is homemade, and vegetarian or vegan. Their cake selection is large and varied too. The service is always friendly and the atmosphere pleasant. The location is stunning so bring your walking boots and make the most of the grounds.
