Food is really nice, love watching the birds on the feeder. Very limited space so can't always see the birds clearly but worth the visit. Is outdoor seating around front where small garden centre bit easy. Small shop inside with lovely products. My friend recommended the cafe and I recommend it to everyone now too

Called to book a table by the window, was asked what I will be ordering…. Unsure till I get to the place. Was then told no. You can’t have the window seat unless you all order a main meal!!! You can’t order tea/coffee and cake! That is insane!!!! It’s a CAFE

Surprisingly good cafe. I had the full English breakfast with black pudding (£1 extra but worth it) and a pot of tea. Sausages were good quality, and three strips of good quality bacon. Real treat to be by the window and watch the birds feeding. Friendly staff. Really good shop, with a nice selection of products. You can tell the owner/operator really care about this place.

I went here with friends for breakfast and I was impressed by the helpful staff and food. Because of food intolerances, I have a gluten free and dairy free diet and am meat free through choice. This was no problem for the staff who suggested substitutes and didn’t make me feel awkward. Nice ambience and we got seats next to the large bird tables outside so lots of birds to look at. Would definitely go back again if I was visiting the area.

I'd been to this cafe before and being in the area again I was looking forward to another visit, albeit equally brief, like before, as I was assessing Duke of Edinburgh award expedition groups nearby. Anyway, my fruit scone was a good size, had a nice texture and tasted fine. (Next time though, I'll ask for extra butter.) Cappuccino was also O.K. I had a take away sausage roll which was good too. The seating - inside and outside (under cover) - is basic but comfortable. The staff are very friendly and efficient. The whole place has a nice feel to it. This isn't just a cafe; there's also a shop with a very interesting range of artisan products and a small plant and gardening section outside. Another outstanding feature - as the cafe's name foretells - is the close proximity of several bird tables just beyond the slightly darkened windows. Children's binoculars and bird books to help identify the many visiting species are tableside ready to use. It's really lovely to sit with a drink or a meal and watch the constant flow of birdlife only a few feet away.

The food was all overcooked despite being simple cafe fayre. Our food took a very long time to prepare. We sat outside in the sun, under a canopy.

We had the homemade soups & very tasty they were too. Well presented & nicely served in a small but very well arranged cafe. Good service & cheerful staff complimented the delightful atmosphere. Good views of feeding blue tits through the windows overlooking the waters edge. Nice pot of strong tea. Outside seating available if weather permits. Will be back.

The food is simple but good - curried soup, homemade sandwiches, lovely cakes etc and the staff are very friendly and kind. We enjoyed watching the bluetits and coaltits feeding next to the window.

Having visited your cafe for the first time I want to say that the cheese and tuna panini was the best that I've ever had. I did commend you whilst there but feel that I want this in writing. I'm now 80 so have tasted many paninis and this, forgive the pun, 'takes the biscuit'. Many thanks

Very rude and unhelpful staff! We didn't stay and carried on down the road to the Hope Valley Garden Centre

Visited twice in February, lovely and friendly, good choice of home cooked cakes, snacks and drinks. There is also a small shop with a deli counter, difficult to leave without making a purchase.

What a fabulous little cafe!! Clean and well set out. A very good menu selection and home made cakes if you have room after the very generous portions. One large window looks out onto woodland filled with hanging bird feeders. The outside feeding area looked as popular as inside was. Utterly lovely.

Would highly recommend this cafe to anyone in the area. Amazing selection of food in the deli and huge choice of delicious food for lunch. All of the staff are lovely and being able to watch the birds feed is great. Overall great experience.

I ordered halloumi and beetroot salad. I was surprised that the beetroot was pickled not roasted and was even more surprised at the tinned sweetcorn. The salad also had tinned beans of which there was no mention. The dressing was mostly vinegar and very little oil. I thought it could have been more exciting.

Popped in for breakfast after seeing seeing this on google earth as on our route that morning. A lovely sign appeared by the road, and a sweet little shed came in to view by the car park. Inside it is warm, friendly and "home made". The food selection was wide and excellent value, the options hard to choose from. Tables are clean, furniture very comfortable and the bonus of one wall being glass to look out at dozens of birds feeding on the hangers. Tits of all varieties, Finches, Robins, Nuthatch and a bonus Siskin made it a very enjoyable meal. Staff extremely friendly, food cooked to order perfectly and well presented. An excellent craft and gift shop offers some good value items, and filled a few Christmas ideas. Seating is inside or out, out is also partly undercover. Shame we life 112 miles away or we'd be regulars. Next time in the Peak District we'll be back.

Had a take away cake from here and it was amazingly delicious - would definitely be back if back in the area and would like to sit in with the beautiful view if we’d had time!

Nice location by river and birds to watch at bird feeder. Selection of gifts and plants. Coffee and cake great. Service pretty random last few times we’ve been.

I've often passed and meant to call in, so was really pleased to have a chance to call in earlier this month (May 2022) while assessing DofE expedition groups in the area. It was only a quick visit, but I enjoyed the toast and coffee,...

Nice setting next to the river with large windows to watch the birds whilst you eat / drink. The food was nice and the service was lovely. Pleasant lunch at a reasonable price. We will visit again and happy to recommend.

This is a tiny cafe, so be prepared that you may have to wait for a table (though they do take reservations) But the food and the service make it worthwhile - and you get to watch the wild birds at the same time Its...

Very nice cafe and shop, wet day and would normally be stunning views. Lots of bird life on the feeders plus a very determined acrobatic squirrel. Bird book on the table a nice touch. Friendly staff, nice homemade food and a good selection of cakes....

We absolute adore this cafe, watching the blue tits, chaffinches, nuthatches all eat their breakfast at the same time as us is wonderful. Big portions, varied menu, warm and welcoming staff, adorable homely shop and plant sale. The best.

Found this open at last. Lots of parking and seating inside and out. Welcoming, friendly staff and peaceful atmosphere. Scones excellent, other food available and good price. Fascinating to watch the bird feeders outside the window. There’s a ‘delicatessen’ with various foods, groceries and gifts....

Used to be good. Stopped serving full English breakfast, now only available as a sandwich. Is this because of Covid? Surely eating from a plate makes more sense than finger food during a pandemic. Put
