Abbott Lodge Jersey Ice Cream in Eden

We enjoyed delicious ice cream on a cold day, the flavours were amazing and the staff were really helpful. The play area was great for the group and we would all recommend a visit and a must have ice cream

This place has gone downhill in the last few years. The ice cream is still nice but the tearoom is disgusting. It is so dirty, there is fly poo on the countertops. There is a bin that is dirty that you have to lift the lid with your hands- a pedal bin would be better. The lady who served us was so rude and stroppy. Really impatient and actually quite ignorant. The two young people serving were pleasant enough. I had a very similar experience last year but returned this year as friends had asked to meet there but I most certainly will not be returning again now.

Great little place with a play area for kids outside, u can see the cows and they are in beautiful condition with lovely big green fields, the ice cream is some of the nicest Iv ever tasted and the prices are fair too :-) definitely would recommend a visit

Great find. Yummy locally made ice cream with a range of flavours. Indoor and outdoor play areas so kids can let off steam whilst adults enjoy their ice cream and coffee in peace. Outside area dog friendly. And you can buy tubs of your choice of flavours to take home (not that ours made it that far!)

Does what it says delicious ice cream from prize winning jersey cows. Good choice of flavours also sell coffee and cakes. Indoor and outdoor seating. Small children’s play area.

If you want to treat yourself to a dessert I fully recommend visiting this location as it has a wide variety of choices of ice-cream and a play park for the kids if you want to relax so if your near this area or visiting family you should definitely come here.

I had just jersey and coffee ice-cream, husband had Mississippi mud pie ice-cream and my son had chocolate, we where all very happy with our choices, so creamy and delicious, possibly the best ice-cream I’ve ever had and very reasonable prices, lovely little playground and places to sit outside too. We are definitely going to squeeze in another visit before the end of our holidays.

We visited here this afternoon and all enjoyed the lovely ice-cream. They were delicious. The customer service however was appalling. The young man who served us never greeted us or smiled. He begrudgingly let my daughter try two samples so she could decide which flavour to choose. He was so unfriendly. Clearly a pleasant demeanor and approachable character were not on his resume. He never received the memo about service with a smile. I was also very concerned about his lack of hygiene. He was not wearing any gloves to serve us. He was picking up each cone with his bare hands, in between touching the service counter, his hair, and adjusting his trousers. This is gross. Despite the ice-cream tasting lovely, I really would think twice about coming back if this is the standard of service and hygiene that appears to be acceptable.

The staff where welcoming and very helpful. Celebrating 20 years of excellent ice cream I can’t recommend it better

Had a lovely ice cream ( me marmalade and chocolate , partner cherry and rum and raisin) lovely staff . Had to queue , nice to know how popular they are. HAPPY 20th ANNIVERSARY x🥳👍

Came here with our daughter, she loved the ice cream (obviously) and the play area too. Prices were really low - wouldn't have thought anything of paying a couple of pounds more, and the lady working there was really friendly. Will definitely come back next time we're in the area. Also accidentally took a cup which I thought was ours which had our little girls' water in - sorry!

Fabulous find. Tasty ice creams and can cater to gluten allergies. Situated on a working Jersey cow farm offering fresh Jersey milk and cream products

Beautiful, reasonably priced ice cream in an equally beautiful setting. We had a great time. Not our first or last visit!

We were told about this place by other visitors to the area a few years back. We never got to go then so made a point of visiting on our return to the area. Not worth the extra journey. Small childrens climbing frame which was overcrowded. Huge queue for the ice cream which after 20 minutes barely moved. Didn't see any staff outside the premises at all. Sadly we turned round and left and would not make a point of returning.

Claims to be dog-friendly but an employee was extremely rude to us when our 12 week old puppy had a wee on the grass at the very far end of the picnic area, telling us that she had fouled the children’s play area. She then stated “I hope she isn’t carrying something” which made me wonder whether she should worry more about the people ‘carrying something’ during the current pandemic than a puppy. Unfortunately, for this reason we will not be returning or recommending to family or friends.

This is some of the best icecream I've ever had .... the mississippi mud pie is sheer heaven and my mother in law was in raptures over the coffee icecream!! BUT please sort your staff .... all three were probably under 18, their batteries needed...

A must visit for both kids and adults alike. They have a working farm setup where you can see some cows, a play area for kids and a tea room/cafe where they serve hot/cold drinks and ice cream. The ice cream is freshly made and...

The quality of the ice cream here is exceptional! You can sit and enjoy your ice cream whilst watching the cows that produce the milk graze in the fields nearby. My only complaint, the use of fake flavourings in some of the ice creams. My...

A lovely sunny Saturday afternoon outing with the grandkids. There were many people there enjoying the lovely weather and the great ice cream. We had lemon sorbet, fast tractor, chocolate and raspberry mess, all delicious. Social distancing was happening, one in one out at the...

The queue was rather long but the staff were doing their best with Covid social distancing. 1 group in 1 out. The ice cream was worth the wait. My group choose a number of glass from liquorice to cherry and mint. Plenty of choice and...

Lovely place to stop off at. Homemade ice cream with great flavours. Family friendly with a child’s play area. Did I mention the ice cream is amazing😀

A gem of a place this - yes, the queues are long with a COVID-savvy set up. But what’s 20 minutes for fresh, creamy ice cream with a rich range of flavours. I indulged myself with the raspberry pavlova and hazelnut, other members of the...

Good ice cream as normal with a one in one out system that works well. Dont be put off by a queue outside it moves quickly

We did visit earlier in lockdown when you could travel but sadly the Parlour was closed. Revisited mid July and hurrah the Parlour was open for take away ice cream. It was as tasty as ever, the big question is always stick to what you...

This is almost wholly an ice cream parlour, though there is the odd cake or biscuit to be found and hot drinks are available. It was the best ice cream I've had for years (the vanilla, though the other flavours I'm sure were excellent too)....

What a lovely place. Beautiful ice-cream with a good variety of flavours and a lovely little play area. Not big but a little indoor play area too for rainy days. Very nice views. Would recommend for an ice-cream and a play.

The ice cream is delicious but when you are taking the grandchildren out for the afternoon you expect them to able to play on the play equipment. All the equipment needs serious attention. The indoor play area was not very inviting and cramped. The outside...

we call often for this jersey ice cream and a cup of Tea ,always plenty of parking space , and big playarea for anyone with children

This is an exceptional place to go not only in summer but all year round . The setting is just beautiful set in the beautiful Cumbrian countryside. The ice cream is just magnificent. Many different flavours made from the milk of the jersey herd. Not...

Visit here, it has it all. First the outstanding home made ice cream. All from their own herd of Jersey cows. Too many flavours to list. See the cows, see the calves. Playground and picnic area. Cafe serving home made food. Also get some fresh...

Fabulous visit to abbott lodge with WI group yesterday evening. Excellent slideshow and talk about the place by Claire then tasting heaven. So many fabulous flavours and take home boxes that keep the icecream frozen for two hours. Mississippi Mud House, Raspberry Pavlova, Lemon Sorbet, Mint Choc Chip, Salted Caramel, Vanilla, Just Jersey, Banoffee, Coconut, Honey & Ginger, Blue Tractor (Tropical Vanilla) to name just a few of my favourites!

This place was recommended by the proprietor of the nearby Strickland Arms pub as a well-deserved stop on our coast to coast cycling route. We were not disappointed! The range of ice-creams available was wide and after originally opting for just one flavour, we all decided to try out two instead! The chocolate was truly one of the best chocolate ice creams I have ever had and I used to live in NZ! We will detour off the M6 to go again!

My wife and I always come here after our visit to Lowther Castle. The ice cream is rich, and to die for, the milk/cream coming as it does from the on site Jersey herd. We usually sit outside to eat, mixing the taste of the ice cream with farmyard smells associated with a dairy herd. All part of a wonderful experience. There is a small children's play area which seems well used, as the adults enjoy their ice cream. Less than 5 minutes by car from Lowther Castle.

Superb ice cream selection from milk of Jersey Cows. Excellent café serving tea, coffee and ice cream.,+ children's play area outside, with calf viewing barn area .Plenty of parking and room for picnics. Rural Aspect.

Car parking, picnic tables, grass to play on, a play park, a pedal tractor area, calves to look at and a great selection of delicious ice cream..... plus a cafe. Perfect spot to bring the children. Thank you

great selection of home made ice cream with a great play area outside and a chance to see the cows or have a coffee

Have been here several times in past.Nice choice of Ice cream.Tea/Coffee nice price.Nice play area for children. Calf viewing area. Only comment is that the lady who served us was quite cold in manner...didn't seem a people person! Young man serving was much more personalable. Even when we left and I said thank you...she just glared at me!

We visit here often,this is the best ever ice cream by a mile,I purchased some full fat milk for my cornflakes and was just awesome,a really great place to go if you love ice cream.

I had wanted to go see the ice cream factory every day of our trip as we passed the sign on the way to our cottage, but we did not get around to it. So, we went on the way home! I am so glad we did as well.The calves were adorable, absolutely stunning. The ice cream was so delicious, creamy and tasty, I only wished I lived closer as would go there daily. Between us we tried three flavours, and everyone was amazing, we had a problem stopping the dog from eating too much!The team working was really friendly and chatty so that made the experience all the better, only regret is that we did not have longer to stay.

Consistently good -- never fails to disappoint. And DELICIOUS!!! Good for all ages including little ones!

We visited on a rainy midweek day in September. The staff were very welcoming, the ice cream was excellent and the free indoor play area was thoroughly enjoyed by our children. Sadly it was too wet for the equally good outdoor play area.

Excellent ice cream. Flavours are fantastic and the choice is great. I would highly recommend. Been everyday since we visited the Lake District. It’s worth the trip out.

Took our 3 yr old son to Abbot Lodge Farm today. To be fair it's free so you can't expect too much. There's two play areas - a outdoor one which consists of a high slide and a few swings. It's ok but not really suitable for little ones. The indoor play area is on a barn so covered would be a better description than indoor, it's nearly the same as the out door one again not great for toddlers. There's a good selection of ice cream and a sorbet which was great for my dairy allergic child. We wer there just over a hour could have stretched it to 2 hours if weather was better.

We spotted this on the way to the Birds of Prey Centre and swung by on the way home. So glad we did. 20 different flavours to choose from - we selected 10 of them between them and they were all amazing!!! The flavour of the month - Apple Crumble - was wonderful and like no ice cream I’d ever tasted before.

On holiday in lake District and the lady who owns our cottage recommended the ice cream place for the kids. It's great for kids! Lots of space to run wild, outdoor play area which they loved, and a few little ride on tractors (which to be honest could do with replacing). That being said, the kids had a ball!! They loved seeing the cows, especially the calves. There's picnic benches dotted around too, so plenty of outside seating if the weather permits (it didn't really for our visit!) In the tea room there was a choice of maybe 12 or so flavours, all the basics and a good mix of others. I'd say something to suit most people. Prices are really really reasonable!! £1.50 for a cone and a huge scoop of ice cream. Bigger ones/multi scoop cones are available of course! To be honest I found the rest of the café a bit of a let down as I don't really like ice cream. The coffee was from a machine and was luke warm, they don't do cakes or anything really just twix and a shortbread type traybake. I know, it's all about the ice cream but I think they're missing a trick!Honestly, I would deff come back. The kids loved it, the ice cream was beautiful and it's a lovely way to spend a couple of hours just relaxing. I think it's a little catch 22. If more people came they maybe make enough money to invest a bit more in the café itself (just felt a bit old and in need of some TLC) and upgrade the coffee etc and maybe do a few cakes/options. Maybe expand into ice cream sundaes........ But people maybe don't come because they don't already have those things. Who knows. However, if we're back in the lakes we'll deff come back. The ice cream is really delicious and the cows are just too cute!!!!!

Visited Abbot lodge today and found the whole story from where the ice cream came from to the ice cream itself great. There's loads of flavours to choose from and a pleasant little cafe eating area. Both indoor and outdoor play area's are provided. My only criticism is that they don't make enough of the ice cream, offering a selection of ice cream dishes such as sundaes etc like a parlour would have improved the place.

The kids enjoyed their Icecream, us adults said it was nice however there was 2 or 3 empty tins in cabinet so not that many to choose from. The 2 young girls who were working were miserable and had no manners, seemed as if we were troubling them when we went back for drinks.

My girlfriend and I visited this place by chance when driving through the countryside. The ice cream was the best we’ve ever tasted! I had Apple Crumble flavour and my girlfriend had the Jersey flavour. The farm was lovely and the staff were kind and helpful. Would recommend to others!!

We were camping nearby and fancied a couple of hours off the campsite so we drove here after reading reviews. The farm is very clean with three separate play areas for the kids, one indoor and one outdoor, an area kids can play on toy tractors, there are plenty of picnic benches to sit and watch the kids outside if it's a nice day. There is a small area where you can buy their jersey ice cream they make which is absolutely lovely, it is worth visiting their website to see pictures and for more information. We were planning on buying some ice cream to take but its rather expensive, however I was pleasantly surprised at their prices for soft drinks and tea/coffee since it is rather secluded.There is also a place you can view the calves which the kids enjoyed, overall we had a lovely hour or two at the farm well worth the 30 minute drive from Appleby. If you are coming from Appleby careful following google maps for directions as it takes you down some extremely small back country roads. It might be worth plotting your own route.

Lovely indoor and outdoor play area, pretty views , great place to have a picnic, really enjoyed the ice cream , we had two the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was that it’s more of a stop off place on the way home not a day out. We were only there an hour and half max.

Get place to visit for ice cream and to let the kids burn off some energy. Great choice of ice cream made fresh from Jersey cows. Two play areas , one inside and one outside. Good value.

Worth a visit just for the ice cream. Plenty of choice of ice cream too. Indoor and outdoor playground for the kids.

We have a mobile home nearby and when we have our grandchildren staying we always visit. The ice cream is wonderful- the only problem is choosing which of the many flavours to have.

Bought two latte coffees for £3.10 both of them lukewarm ,I told the staff and they said 'we often get that it's just the way the machine makes them, no offer of a refund .A 12 mile round trip so a waste of an afternoon and £3.10 down the drain... hopeless.

Lovely ice cream. Friendly staff. Good coffee. Plenty to keep the key kids happy for a while. Love the tv link from the parlour.

Popped in on a hot sunny Cumbrian day for one of there lovely ice creams. A choice of about 20 ice creams all excellent. outdoor seating and play area as well as indoor café seating well worth a visit

We can highly recommend a visit to the ice cream Parler we have been on numerous acations and have always been highly satisfied it’s a great few hours for kids and adults as well

We decided to visit Abbott as we have heard good reviews and were staying a few minutes away at centre parks. My daughter loved outdoor and indoor play areas. We saw the young calves and adult cows were will out into the large field for the first time this year due to bad weather. It was lovely to see them jumping, playing and kicking their back legs with joy! Ice cream was delicious. If we lived closer, we would be regular visitors. Staff/owners were very pleasant and helpful. An enjoyable treat!

We stopped for ice cream, and had no complaints about it,It was fresh, creamy and good taste.Didn't really see much about the animals, but the staff there were pleasant.No complaints really, but I can't comment on whether it's worth visiting as an attraction.For ice cream? Yes.

Visited out of season but there was very little to see. Bit disappointed that you could not actually see any ice cream making. Only able to view the cattle on a small screen in the café. Staff very friendly and there is a playground and mini rides for small children.

Lovely place to visit whatever the weather, kids don't bother even if it's cold n windy, they still love the play areas and the ice cream, as do the adults!!. Staff are pleasant and service is good. Will definitely be back.

there was nothing to see and do, just few ice creams and not much taste coffee...we had one scoop of ice cream and two small coffee take away and we paid £5.05 there was few cows and nothing more....

Took two grandchildren for a visit - they loved both the outdoor and indoor play areas, and especially the ice cream.They also loved the TV showing the cow sheds.Unfortunately, when they came back into the cafe from the outdoor play area they trailed a load of mud across the carpet. The staff were really good about it, saying "don't worry, it will hoover up". Well done - will be back.

Went here on Sunday for Ice Cream and wasn't disappointed had lots of flavours. I had the salted caramel which the dog pinched half, my partner has the mint and another one which I can't remember. All was lovely

A lovely spot to spend a few hours looking at the calves and eating the super duper creamy ice cream. It comes in lots of flavours and you can even get a takeaway. You could just drive past but then you would never know how good it was.

We stopped here for an ice cream on our way back to our holiday cottage near Ullswater. There's plenty of parking, and an outdoor play area for children. There were plenty of choices of ice cream, which is always difficult for people like me who can't make up their mind! I decided to go with the Mississippi mud pie one, and my mum went with the hazelnut. It was absolutely delicious! For two tubs, it was £2.50, which is very reasonable in my opinion. Definitely worth a visit if you're passing!

This is a lovely place to visit, especially for families. Admission is free and there is usually plenty of parking. Visitors can see the dairy cows in a field near the car park as soon as they arrive and can wander over to a small barn to see the calves. There are small play areas to occupy the children: one indoor and one outdoor. There’s also an area where little ones can ride a few mini tractors.The ice cream is for sale in the small café area. It is very tasty and there is an interesting range of flavours. It’s lovely that children can see the cows who make the milk from which their ice cream is made.Abbott Lodge isn’t really an all-day destination: it’s best either combined with another visit (we went to the nearby Lakeland Bird of Prey Centre) or if you just want to relax and chat for an hour or two.We definitely plan to go again!

We stopped here with our grandchildren after been at Penrith. Small indoor/out side play area but it is free, you can also go and see the calves. Good selection of ice creams very resonably priced. The girl behind the counter got our grandchildren a takeaway box so they could bring some home. This is one place were you don't need to spend a fortune to fill a couple of hours.

Popped in for a cheeky ice cream. Excellent range of flavours and plenty of choice of cones (or tub). Ice cream produced locally and you are able to 'meet the producers too'. Also does café type food and drink...There are calves accessible in an inside barn that are very friendly (so great for the kids) and the older ladies can be seen grazing surrounding fields. There is also a children's play area outside the café with a big climbing frame and smaller play park toys such as swings etc. It is all fenced and secure with plenty of grass so a very safe place to let the kids burn off the ice cream.

Great visit to this lovely family run farm. Excellent ice cream and plenty of choice, great indoor and outdoor activities for the children. Facilities nice and clean.

The ice cream was delicious and the calf viewing was adorable. They have a nice playground for younger kids. The smell walking up isn't the greatest, but hey, it's a farm. I appreciate the local homemade ice cream. You can tell they take great pride in their cows by all the awards and pictures inside the shop.

Noticed this on our way to Lowther Castle, and called in on the way home.There is a small play area, and a cafe/ice cream parlour attached to a small indoor play area.Did not enjoy the ice creams, rather watery and not a lot of flavour.Sorry, but might do better if not so close to the farm yard.

We visit here whenever we go to the Lakes it's a gem of a place! The ice cream is delicious always plenty of choice. A lovely cafe for a cuppa too. The staff are always friendly.

We found this by accident and what a happy accident it was. Incredibly friendly staff-nothing was too much trouble. Great ice cream and great value for money. Add the cutest Jersey calves you have ever seen and it was a perfect afternoon.

It was a beautiful day and we were on our way to the lakes so would be wrong not to have an ice cream in the sun. I googled local ice cream farms so and saw that Jersey Ice Cream was on our way so made a quick stop off. This was a charming place which had lots of different flavours and a little play area for all the kids. It's well worth a stop off if your passing.

Popped in after Lowther castle as like to try different places. Not many unusual flavours which was disappointing but thought they looked good. Got 4 two scoop tubs in total was £10.20 so reasonable.Went in car to eat as inside was busy and was bit chilly out. Very average ice cream. My boy actually had 2 spoonfuls and asked if he had to eat the rest which for a kid and ice cream is a big no no. Such a shame was looking forward to it. But still to find anywhere close to drumuir farm at dumfries.

My family and I regularly come here for an ice cream. The ice cream is wonderful and creamy and never disappoints. The staff are friendly and polite, there is good parking and if you have young kids there is a nice little play park with slides and ride on toys. There is always a great range of ice cream to choose from and it's good value.

Went here on Good Friday with some friends and my family. My boys loved laying on the play areas. And, we all, enjoyed some tasty ice-cream. Well worth a visit.

Saw sign in passing and popped in to sample. The chocolate must have been the best, tastiest and every other superlative ice cream ever (and i have tried lots)

Came across this place for the very first time today and was really impressed. Between the three of us we had tubs of Mississippi Mud Pie, Rasberry Pavlova, Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream, all of which were absolutely delicious. The staff were all friendly and very polite and the venue was very clean, great place for a stop off if visiting the Penrith area.

I like that there is a childens play ground and that there is tractors that are free to go on also it is ice-cream in the cafe but the cafe isn't dog friendly so we don't go in with are doodle our dog.🐄🐕🐄🐕🐄🐕

ice cream excellent and staff friendlyseveral calves were coughing in the calf shed, ventilation poorprobably a better visit if in summerice cream excellent

Short stop off for ice cream, was very impressed with all the different flavours. If my eyes were bigger than my belly i would have tried a scoop of all the different flavours. Looks like a nice place for the kids in summer with the farm and play areas.

Saw this place decided to stop great decision, lovely calves happy kids playing both indoor and outdoor play areas, real working farm.The cafe was smallish but staff friendly helpful and great choice of ice cream, loved the jersey classic thick, creamy, tasty, wife had the pistachio very good, had coffee and was given 4 biscuits very nice.We will come back just for the icecream alone.

A fly by visit to sample some of the delicious ice cream. The ice cream is very creamy and they have a wonderful selection of various flavours. We visited with our little dog and they were kind enough to let him in. The cows looked very happy and we also got to see some of the calves. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Lovely ice cream and a nice indoor and outdoor play area-they're quite small but my daughter really enjoys playing in them. The coffee is good too and staff are very efficient.

We discovered the Abbott Lodge cafe by following the sign posts near Lowther Castle. It is a little gem and the ice cream was immense! I had a freshly made waffle with Mississippi mud pie ice cream and one scoop was definitely enough! A great place to stop off!

Great ice cream! Good little park indoors and outdoors. Would definitely go back if i was in the area.

Stumbled upon this place by accident after taking a detour and wish I'd known about it years ago. They have a indoor and outdoor play area for the kids, you can get up close to the Jersey cows and their calfs but best of all their ice cream is to die for and with plenty of flavours to choose from.

Passed here so thought we would pop in. Very disappointed. Other ice cream farms I've visited have lots to see and do. Farm animals. Walks. Tours etc. This was literally a tea room, toilets and a small play park. A couple of calves and a field of cows. We had an ice cream and left after ten minutes. Wouldn't recommend at all.

We came here today as we were camping in the local area and was recommended to us by the owner at the campsite. Lovely little ice cream farm. My daughter loved the playground especially the big slide and sitting on the cow benches! The cows in the field behind the park came over to say hello, and were happy as we fed them some grass!! The ice cream was reasonably priced and a lovely selection! I had two scoop cone - chocolate mud pie and mint chocolate chip. Both tasted amazing!We spent about an hour/hour and a half here.

This was a chance find after a trip to Lowther Castle. The ice cream is delicious, the views are lovely, there is space to sit inside or out, space for the kids to play inside or out, cows in the adjoining field and even calves to view. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic scenery, relaxing area, kids climbing and play area, jersey cows and calfs to see, comfy cafe....and loads of different ice cream, what more can I say.. Defiantly deserves a visit for both young and old, but be warned, once you've been there you going to want to return.

My 7yr old daughter and me decided last minute to visit we are very lucky as we are local so it was only a 10min drive and we had a fab time great ice cream, great tea room, fabulous playareas, toy tractors, cows, calves, Sun, views and welcoming friendly staff what more do you want from an amazing local attraction. Well worth a visit

Just found of the off chance called what we got was fanastic ice cream there is also a cafe and children's play area and lots of cows

Stopped here to try the ice cream, and we were not disappointed, lovely and fresh lots of flavours to choose from. You see the cows, indoor and outdoor areas for the kids and lovely coffee shop

Visit every summer. Never dissapoints. Between the 5 of us we tried amaretto, coffee, mississippi mud pie, chocolate, banana, trifle and just jersey. All absolutely delocious! Kids enjoyed the playground and seeing the cows. Highly recommend! :-)

We usually stop by here after a day out as its on our way home,the ice creams are so nice and there is a lovely play area for the kids! You can sit in our out to eat and watch the cows. Very clean and well kept! We go all the time!

I have enjoyed many visits to Abbott Lodge, always an amazing choice of ice creams and my girls love the play areas!!!On this occasion we visited with our playgroup, staff were very helpful and friendly, opening doors and helping with pushchairs/prams. We were able to use the spacious upstairs room for children to play, then enjoyed an ice cream and outside play.I would definitely recommend a visit.

We visit the Northern Lakes very regularly and this is one of our treat stops. We don't come to play on the swings or pet the calves purely for the ice cream. It can be busy and sometimes you queue for a few minutes but there's always a conversation to have with your neighbours. The ice cream is gorgeous, nearly always new tastes on offer, last time I tried trifle!. Can well recommend it and it's not far from Larch Cottage plant nursery if you're a gardener like me.
