   Visited on Thursday for lunch in the cafe with my mother and aunt and will definitely be returning. The food was lovely and the staff could not have been more helpful. What a beautiful setting for a lcafe and have to mention Ollie the resident dog. Could not recommend this place more if I tried.

   Wonderful cafe nestled away from everything, ponds to go fishing in and surrounding woodland to go walking in & after you have done all that you will want a bite to eat and a refreshing drink. We were served by a wonderful young lady called Olivia, very helpful and smiled a lot, nothing was a problem for her & to be honest everyone who worked there looked happy to be at work, I counted 8 staff, all busy as it was lunch time. Highly recommended get there early as it looks like the sort of place that’s very popular with the locals

   Loved this cafe after a long trail run in the local area. Friendly staff, great atmosphere and lovely food, what more could you want? I had a bacon roll, a sausage roll and some cake to take home for later. All great quality and the coffee was also really good! Indoor and outdoor seating, large car park and toilets all available. Some lovely walks as well if you’re not into your running. Based on my experience I would totally recommend and will be going back!

   My husband and I visited here on Sat. It's a beautiful place to unwind either for lunch or just a drink. I can't comment on the meals as we only had a coffee and a bun, which was lovely, a bit expensive but worth the ambience of the place. There are a couple of nice walks around the area also.

   We just discovered this place for the Puffin trail. It’s a good place with lovely views. The cafe was warm and cosy, and the friendly staff was. It's easy to access by car, not far from the main road. I saw some people around the ponds with their baits, looking fun. The cake and coffee were good. You have to pay cash or bank transfer; they don't take card payments.

   What a great little café this is, by the side of the lakes with a verandah and more seating on the other side, as well as indoor seating. Lovely, friendly staff, superb homemade cakes, which you can take away as well in a box for later. Toasted teacake was good, as was my lemon green tea. Loos provided on site. I only visited here to tick off one of the puffins on the puffin trail, otherwise I wouldn't have been aware of its existence. I'm sure the anglers, the lakes being their domain n all, would far prefer to keep more anonymity of the place, but the puffin sculptures will inevitably bring more publicity. There are information boards and you can do a couple of short walks around the area (just not around the lakes themselves, big no no!). The walks detailed are each about 2.5 miles in length, or you can combine the two. The Gothick style folly on the side of the lake (inaccessible due to fisherman's rights.) was built around 1770. It has graffiti on it dated 1808. Grade 2 listed building. The café is licensed too. NB Payment is by cash only or bank transfer. Crockery is only given if you are dining in, not for outside. There are many, many wasps in the vicinity, so if you remain unruffled, then so will they. They're only much needed pollinators after all and much maligned critters, undeservedly. Would heartily recommend this café and locale, respect the anglers and let the wasps be. I would revisit.

   Lovely walk round area then stopped for lunch with friends. Staff were very accommodating despite there being a few of us.

   The service was incredibly slow it took an hour and 15 minutes, for four sandwiches. One was cold and two weren't what we ordered. It's safe to say that we weren't best pleased.
