Wonderful little find! Fantastic coffee, amazing cake and lovely owners. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, the surroundings, the artwork and the homemade, delicious treats. Thank you.

It’s a loverly little coffee shop that serves cake and coffee ( tea) with lots of local art on the walls. Run by a couple who live on site. It’s good to support local businesses. Reasonably priced drinks. Cakes are around £3.50 to £4 which is quite high in my opinion.

Definitely a hidden gem, even if it only opens 2 days each week. Most of the art works on display are available for sale.

First time at this stunning barn today despite living in the area for 6 years. The barn and surroundings are gorgeous and the owners were super lovely. I’m not a big cake eater but the homemade cakes were to die for and the coffee delicious. Will definitely be returning 😊

We met up with our Wedding Cake designer here, in April. We arrived early so we could have a coffee and sample the cafe’s cakes. The Cafe is delightful, with fabulous artwork, in a beautiful setting. The coffee and cake was delicious and we will be back. Thanks so much

This is such a great little find! The barn is amazing to see with great artwork everywhere! My daughter's were both super happy when the waiter put paper and pens on the table and were drawing all sorts. The service was great, the art is amazing, especially the competition winning painting of Queen Elizabeth. Cakes and coffee were great too. Hugely recommend.

What a lovely unexpected find. The sweet and savoury offerings were delicious. My Cappuccino’s were lovely too. Our first visit was on Friday 17th November 2023 to the Barn and it was a delight. Lovely, friendly owners who took the time to tell us a bit of the history surrounding the barn and farm. Definitely will be returning again soon.

A few days ago, walking around the area, The Barn at Friends Barn caught my attention. Today being my partner’s birthday, it was the perfect day to treat him and discover the hidden treasure that this place is, and just a few minutes away from home. We just had excellent lattes with 2 delicious cakes, mine was a raspberry and quince one, their vegan option today, it was a real delight. We couldn't resist leaving the place without try one of their salty options, then we enjoyed another excellent lattes & a shared cheese bun accompanied by a homemade onion & apple chutney that gave it a very special touch. All this in a room surrounded by works of painting art, artisan products and in a family, cozy, quiet and unbeatable atmosphere. It’s definitely a hidden treasure. Thank you very much! Rosana & Ian

I only gave it 5 because 10 stars aren't available! The venue is stunning, the coffee and tea was delicious and the carrot cake was heavenly, we even got colouring in for my 4 year old - which nan enjoyed more than he did haha. We can not wait until we go back again

What an amazing find. This beautiful barn decorated with wonderful paintings from local artists, is the perfect setting for an afternoon coffee and chat. The owners are so friendly and welcoming and their obvious delight in their chosen venture provides such an aura of happiness and joy for visitors to relax in, whilst savouring a delicious drink and slice of cake. We were so impressed with their service, especially when my daughter asked if it was possible to have a glass of water and a whole jug of water complete with lemon slices and enough glasses for all of us was happily brought to our table. A beautiful thoughtful gesture. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon treat and will definitely be returning. I really recommend a visit to this peaceful oasis for delightful coffee and cake.

I almost don't want to write this review because I don't want to tell anyone how good it is so I can save it for myself! The barn is gorgeous, the ambience was lovely and the coffee and cake were amazing! I took my 2 little girls with me (6&1) and the staff were so helpful with a high chair and pencils and paper for colouring. The toilet was lovely! I will definitely be back 😊

I was delighted to discover this charming coffee shop. The walls are covered with paintings by the owner, coffee really hot and a very warm welcome. My only drawback as a disabled person was the long walk from the carpark and quite steep steps to enter. I did not ask if there was an accessible toilet but hope there will be as I would like to go again.

Popped in there today as the concept of a gallery and cafe sounded perfect. The coffee was very tasty and there was a great selection of articles for sale. The hosts Carlos & Carol were very accommodating - spent time to have a chat, and they’ve done a remarkable renovation on the barn! The atmosphere was very chilled and the cakes were amazing too!! It really is a hidden gem and you must stop by to take advantage of what a lovely place it truly is 👍👌

Largely unknown, even to us locals, but a hidden gem all the same. Primarily an art studio, this beautifully converted barn is a delight to visit, the owners are very friendly and make good coffee and cakes too. Sadly only open Fri and Sat, it will be super if they get a food licence and offer lunches in future - they'll definitely become a 5☆ recommend then. And the artwork on display is pretty damn good too ....... Very impressed.

What a lovely find. We came with my sister and our children, 6yrs-12yrs old, and were made to feel very welcome. The cake and coffee were amazing and the kids enjoyed going off to look at the goats and chickens whilst the adults sat looking at the art on the walls. Nice to have independent businesses in the area that we can support. The barn run art classes through the week and open Fri/sat to serve coffee/tea/cake. We will be back!

First time visiting this place.And it certainly will not be the last.My husband and I enjoyed tea and coffee,with a slice of Victoria sponge ,and my husband enjoyed a dark chocolate with ginger tray .If we had to have a fault,the coffee could do with being a tad stronger.But overall service was very good,very friendly.It felt very tranquil with the art gallery,and the lovely peaceful music .We very much look forward to our next visit.

Wonderful service from Rachel who is a great host! Lovely to see someone in this venue again, and the cafe is lovely inside, very warm and welcoming. We had a black coffee and hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows, very good price and much nicer than visiting the normal chain coffee shops. Got some chocolate banana bread to take away too which was delicious. Will definitely be returning!
