Hill Farm Barn in Dacorum

Weak awful coffee served in chipped tin cups with letters falling off . Sausage roll was meant to be home made however the one I was given Straight out of a freezer and factory made .

What a lovely, scenic place to bring the kids and stop for a slice of cake or just a rest bite to catch your breath and inhale the scene. Although, I will say, your dicing with death on the sprint across the bended road from the car park😱 I'll still do it again, thought.

Such a lovely place for a coffee, delicious cake & a wee stroll, I'll be back!

A pleasant environment to sit and relax, whilst having a drink/food with family and/or friends. Nice bacon baps, and toasties also available. Perhaps not the place (admittedly) for those loving a barista-prepared proper coffee, but the tea was pretty good. It can be quite a popular place sometimes, meaning a wait for food, but friendly staff do their best to bring it out to your table as soon as it is ready, and regularly clear tables to keep the seating area welcoming. Very family orientated, little ones particularly seem to enjoy getting close to the animals, and having an old tractor to clamber upon. Well done Leigh ! Sept 2023 : bacon & egg bap today was yummy, but still a few minutes waiting to receive it, meaning my coffee was already half finished. Nevermind, worth the visit anyway. Sept 2024 : bacon & egg bap delicious today, but award-winning Eastwoods supply the meat, so no surprise ! Friendly courteous service from Heidi as well.

Excellent cafe for walkers and doggies and young children as have a few goats and alpacas. Delicious well priced food. A great cup of tea. Good range of light snacks w.g. Toasties, and cakes. Definitely go back. Note it is a barn- not posh and outside loo.

Fabulous spot and very dog friendly. A great pit stop for both dog walkers or anyone taking advantage of the many glorious walks in the countryside. I wish it was open in the winter too

Nice place close to Ashridge. Huge garden with plenty of seating and very reasonable food and drink in the cafe. Also some animals to pet and feed. Very pleasant way to spend an hour

A lovely unpretentious little barn cafe. The food was yummy. The lady serving on the till was fabulous, such a warm welcoming personality as was the lady making the hot food. My bacin ans egg roll and cake was delicious. A real little gem especially as my little dig could come too. Thankyou

This is a hidden gem,sitting outside to have coffee and cake( both delicious)on Sunday July 7 was lovely after a walk around nearby ashridge. There is also a small paddock with 🐐, 🐖 and an alpaca.!!

The place is very nice ,the porta loo let's it down ,there was no soap or water to wash your hands . Also 50p to feed the animals six pieces is a bit much !

The definition of a hidden gem. Had no idea it existed until today and now we'll be back on a regular basis. Friendly staff, well-cooked food at reasonable prices, and of course the animals are an treat for both kids and adults.

Great tea room but expensive for a farm

Outdoor seating with shell and goats to look at. Tractor and sand area for kids. Didn't try any food but good selection of cafe drinks.

Filled rolls, toasted sandwiches, jacket potatoes and cakes. Plenty of room outside. The stairs are very shallow and therefore awkward but a great stop off for walkers.

Great little cafe. Not the cheapest, but food was very nice quality. It's a barn, so if it's chilly outside it'll be chilly inside! But thankfully there's a nice selection of blankets to snuggle under.

Love this place. After a brisk walk over Northchurch common in Ashridge with Joey the Frenchie stop off for coffee and a treat at this pretty firm that opens seasonally to the public. Great food. Good service. Pretty gardens with animals for kids to enjoy. Also local artisan products to buy.

Really nice cafe, with good coffee and cakes. Nice looking honey too.

one of the sweetest cafes I've been too. Nice atmosphere, especially when they have thr animals out. cute pigs and horses and chickens. they are dog friendly too, luna loves goin and getting a bonio from the store. definitely going back in the summer. super duper flapjack too

Good food, service and atmosphere. Parking limited. Outside area to sit and for children to play. Goats and pigs.

Welcome break on a long dog walk. Loo is an outside portaloo. Doggie treats for sale in cafe.

Extremely pleasant place to sit out and have a coffee. Set in a great location with a variety of things for small kids to play on

Lovely place to take your children for a cafe lunch. Fun animals and play area. A great selection of cakes and sandwiches.

Visited for the first time with family On a Bank Holiday Monday. My kids loved seeing the animals. A lovely little place with lots of outdoor seating. Good choice of food - we ordered bacon and egg baps and jacket potato and had cakes and hot and cold drinks. The coffee was not great but we were happy with the food and tea. Local produce used. The girl taking our order at the till was very nice and got our order right and it was not a long wait at all to get our food at our table. Lovely place to eat at again but we won’t be able to stay long as they only have one portaloo and not proper toilets so with kids it has to be a quick short visit in case they need to go to toilet. I also didn’t like how we had to park and cross a fast road with a bend where you can’t see if a car is coming or not. But I would visit again and recommend.

Been here many times and really enjoyed it. Delightful sitting outside the barn on the picnic tables. Lovely mug of tea, Latte coffee was fine (from a machine) and good home made cakes but my cycling buddy did not rate the americano coffee. Good place to bring young children as they enjoy seeing the farm animals and playing on the disused tractor

Loved it here...cakes were delicious as was the coffee. Playsand and tractor went down a treat, animal feeding too.

Seating outside is pleasant and well-spaced. A good place to take a break. The food delivery, on a moderately busy day is pretty slow. Coffee is definitely below par.

We were very pleased to find the Barn, lovely place, very quaint with amazing choice of food etc plus plants & curiosities for sale

Lovely place to eat. Local produce used . Nice animal shop and dog friendly.

Love this place! Go every Saturday and Monday, and we live in Watford! Lee, the owner, is great, and the girls who cook and serve people are great too! It's our paradise from every day life👍👍

This is the second time I have used this cafe now, this time bought a friend who was very impressed . There are a few farm animals too that you can feed, like goats etc, also a tractor and sand pit made from a large tractor wheel for the little ones. It’s also beautiful inside as you can see from pics you can see the roof of the barn and some of the chair made of hay so cool! There is a small amount of parking opposite and a shop next to the cafe that sells lots of pet supplies.

Nice little place for the small ones and have something to eat. Wouldn't recommend the coffee but the tea is good.

Waited 45 minutes for 4 x sausage rolls which were already pre-cooked on the front counter at the point of of order. I did ask a couple of times where our order was and told I needed to wait. At the time of paying we got 4 iced coffees from the fridge that were finished long before our food arrived. The place wasn't too busy, spotted at least 4 young staff members none of them seemed to be too rushed so a little surprised at waiting 45 mins for something that was already precooked. Visited on 18th June.

Lovely location, great range of food, lots of gf options

Cute lil café after a nice hike! No toilets inside though just a portaloo.

Popped in part way through a very wet dog walk. Plenty of room. There are a lot more seats now, which is good for sunny days. We like it in here.

Excellent coffee and home made food. I would recommend the BLT and the the gloriously moist fruit cake which is the best I have ever had! Friendly staff, a huge garden with animals, and a play area for the kids. Seating inside the barn, on chairs or hay bales, plus a newly opened extra barn selling locally made goods and produce. Parking is opposite the barn, as it is a working farm. The number one destination for any dog walkers in need of refreshment. One of the best things about living in Berkhamsted!

This lovely little Café (& Farm shop), closed its doors for their winter break today, until they reopen in March. ° A great place to drink & eat. ° Dog friendly. ° Parking (opposite) ° Child friendly (with a sandpit & tractor) ° Animals to feed (weather permitting) We've visited loads of times BUT I d never thought about writing a review. Today, I decided it was wrong not to give credit where credit is deserved. #TheklaHyphenMou gives the venue the thumbs up. See you in March. 👍😎👍

Dreadful. Truly shocking quality of food and level of service. Watery soup arrived cold. Even when reheated in microwave it still wasn’t hot. Cheap white bread roll, with no option and yucky, low-fat margarine.

Very friendly, good range of home produced food. Well worth a visit when going to Ashridge, particularly since the Brownlow Cafe is no longer independent.

Lovely little place with farm animals for the kids. Good for a morning coffee or tea after a walk with the dogs.

Lovely.coffees and snacks. Set in a rural area with some animald. A nice cafe

Great place for small children, although the animal food from the vending machines is a rip-off. The staff are very friendly and the coffee, tea, cakes etc are lovely.

Sat in their lovely gardens reasonable prices and yummy home made cakes

Great little cafe outdoor kids play with animals

Fantastic for the family or friends. Good selection of cakes and drinks.

Lovely location and stunning barn. Service Friendly and welcoming. Great bacon sarnie; but coffee pretty disappointing! With so many great independent coffee shops in Berkhamsted and Tring, all offering well made Barista trained brews, it’s hard to hide behind a machine based coffee with generic milk; especially when charging pretty much the same price. All that’s ok though if coffee’s not your thing.

Great for small children & their carers. I also liked the general approach to their care of their animals & the quality of the facilities (apart perhaps from the portaloos)

Lovely place and friendly service. I didn't however like the coffee at all which is very average and straight out of an automatic machine. Nor did I enjoy the toilet facilities which are portaloos without any water to wash your hands today when I used them. I feel like I've been to a festival! At least there were anti bac spray machines outside. Fix these and this place would be great.

Great place to sit and chill after our group run today. Great service, good coffee. Lots of lovely treats such as bacon baps and cakes. Great ply area, animals and a sand pit. Cool barn to escape the intense heat and to keep your dogs happy too

Excellent. Great location. Great food. Dog friendly..

Lovely place and decent coffee.

Fantastic tea stop! We really enjoy our visits. Lovely team work there.

Fine but they had nothing dairy free or vegan in the cake line

Lovely food, nice hot coffee. Great place to spend a while after a nice long walk on the common

Waited an hour and 20 minutes for food - as did several other tables. Serving team were off hand and not at all apologetic, suggesting that it couldn’t possibly have been that long but was to be expected as all food was made ‘fresh’. My meal consisted of microwaved soup, sliced packet bread and plastic wrapped marg. shame as a nice garden.

Lovely cafe. I visit regularly and highly recommend !

Lovely green area in the sun wooden tables and seats to enjoy sandwiches cakes jacket potatoes tea, coffee etc... Enjoyable for children too, ponies to see and run around the safe enclosed area.

Lovely place to walk to, but also easy parking opposite if you drive there. Animals to feed if you have children and the food is simple and good.

A little gem that I have only just discovered!

Great place for walking and getting a coffee & snack afterwards. Very child friendly

Great place to stop off whilst on a walk. Good selection of food both savoury and sweet, plus a decent size Mug of Tea in mugs not wasteful paper or plastic cups. Shame they have to close for the winter as I'm sure many people out for walks on a winter's day would appreciate the stop off. Definitely will pay several visits next year.Fingers crossed

Lovely place!! I didn't know it was here until today! Awesome find, I will definitely be back!!

Amazing food. Lovely place for young children to play.

A friendly cafe in an old barn with a child friendly garden

Brilliant little cafe. Nice variety of snacks. We had the coffee (cups are small so be prepared to have more than one) and the tuna melt with brown bread, 10/10 for everything. The milk tasted really nice and farm fresh. Great stop for a 100 miles cycling mid stop!

Lovely cafe nice place to stop after a walk in Ashridge and the ginger cake was yummy

A pleasant little cafe situated on the edge of the Ashridge Estate in a converted barn on a working farm. Nice exterior seating and a small animal enclosure and old tractor to keep young ones amused. Only downside is the portaloo. A nice range of baps snacks and cakes and extras to buy served by pleasant staff.

Para merendar en familia está genial ,cierran muy pronto,lo de los animales es un atractivo del lugar

Great spot for coffee and cake.

Nice bacon sarnie.....what more can I say

Delicious cakes, lovely peaceful garden and grandchildren lived feeding the animals.

Lovely place at the end of a walk.

Great service with good food and drink

A very enjoyable place to have a coffee or tea plus some very inticing cakes. Good area outside for kids as they have farm animals.

Lovely place clean and neat, a few things to keep young children amused. Old tractor, sand pit and some farm animals. Plenty of out door seating. Food very reasonable.

It was full of young children with their parents, they have a small petting area with chickens, rabbits, goats etc. Coffee was good, I didn't eat there but the comments I heard from people who did were positive.

Really lovely find today, highly recommended! There is a big outdoor seating area, all grassland a fenced off area with a pig, and few gorgeous goats which you can buy food for 50p at a machine. A real old disused tractor for the children to play on. In side seating in a barn where you go in to buy your food or you can also buy farm produce. The food is good but simple. Lovely selection of cakes too. Also dog friendly inside.Absolutely loads of lovely walks in the forest. Definitely visit again.

Wonderful location with kids with great outdoor spaces to explore as well

Lovely gem of a Cafe with animals sandpit and tractor for the kids

Bacon roll was excellent but coffee was pretty awful. Good place to take kids.

I love the cafe and specially their flapjack! They have lots of animals which changes the whole environment.

Great open space. Well organised cafe. Ideal for young families.

A hidden gem! I’ve driven past dozens of times and always meant to go in. We visited yesterday and loved it! My toddler loved the tractor and sandpit, there was lots of space and the cafe was nice and reasonably priced.

Excellent service, the owner was lovely and service was great, food even better. Couldn't ask for anything better

Can't get better than 5 Star . It's just right for walkers or Families with Children that have animals to see and feed and a Big Tractor to clamber about on and make the appropriate noises . A sand Pit inside a Giant Tractor Tyre..Stepping stones all in a calm relaxed grassy enclosure . Plus an Outside Cabin Loo .

Blessed to have this lovely little cafe just down the road. A great place to walk to during a lunch break

Hidden gem. Lovely cafe set in a beautiful barn and garden, had a nice bacon and sausage bap + had ponies to pet 👍

We enjoyed a Mums meet up lunch here. Relaxed atmosphere, we liked sitting outside in the sunshine, there were umbrellas for shade and some indoor seating. Not a large food offering just toasted sandwiches and cakes mostly. They take cash or card in the café and you order food and they bring it out to you. Not wheelchair accessible and toilet is a portaloo.

Absolutely loved our little visit today, there really is something for everyone, the kids got to play and see the animals, the mums got to have a nice cuppa and a cake and the dogs even got a pack of treats. Really great little treasure of a place. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely little place, good food and drink offering and a sand pit and tractor for the kids, as well as the animals to see

Perfect for some outdoor fun with small children. Limited but good enough menu. A pot bellied pig, two goats, 2 rabbits and a guinea pig. Take cash to feed the goats as it needs 50p coins.

Really lovely! Great service, delicious carrot cake!

Such a cute little space, great service and coffee highly recommended

Nice little cafe, kids enjoyed feeding the goats here.

A lovely atmosphere and popular. Great for children with goats to feed and an old tractor to climb on! Delicious range of cakes and other choices on menu. Although it was busy I hardly had to wait for our coffees.

Pleased to visit again after a lockdown. Nice children lunch boxes, ice-cream, coffee and bacon rolls. Lovely atmosphere, dogs kept on lead. The children loved to feed the animals. The only recommendation is that the animals food dispensers are expensive for 50 pence for a few bits in your hand but they may have been just badly set up and our fault for not asking.

A great spot for a quick bite, especially with children. Lovely farm produce for sale as well.

Great outdoor space for little ones to play and feed some farm animals. There is a little cafe serving warm food and drinks and some cakes to go with coffee or tea too.

Lovely place to stop and have some lunch

Really nice place.The veg soup was delicious. Cappuccino excellent. Warm welcome. Regards Harry.
