    “I had a fantastic rainy Tuesday sitting in the conservatory of this little gem of an establishment. Decor was beautiful and staff were active, professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Not only were they excellent, they genuinely seemed to enjoy the job which created a great atmosphere. I was honestly stunned. It was such a nice homely feel. It was also busy when we arrived. We’d booked a table and our booking time was politely and decoratively written on a small stand at our table (including the time our slot ended) but we didn’t get the impression that we had to rush at all. In fact it was pouring with rain and it got a bit quieter after 1pm so we were welcomed to stay. So we had some tea and cake, which was delicious. Staff were helpful with the menu, I have allergies and there was absolutely none of the panic that unsettled me in some establishments when I mention it. I felt confident about picking food. I was delighted to find they offer turkey bacon and had eggs. I did have to knock off a star for the eggs Benedict. The eggs were between runny and well done and I found the muffin a little dry so it missed some flavour for me, but the coffee was amazing, as was the rose tea I had later. It’s worth adding that the toilet here was one of the nicest smelling I’ve ever been in?! It smelled like strawberries and was super clean, always a massive bonus. Oh and the restaurant is not only dog friendly, but staff are really nice to dogs, it was so cute to see how well a little poodle was treated in there. There was a little comfy bed , a bowl of water, and treats offered to the pooch, which was adorable. I will definitely visit again soon. Great way to spend an afternoon. Definitely book ahead to avoid disappointment!”
