The Birdhouse Tearoom, Woodside in Scottish Borders

Stopped in for lunch on the way North. Had the soup and scone deal. Seriously the best cheese scone I’ve ever had!

We stopped here for lunch on a warm sunny day and enjoyed nice food sitting outdoors. Very good selection of food and cakes available and the staff were super friendly. Garden Centre has a wide display of items.

How is it even possible to prepare and serve soup that is completely inedible? I regularly go out for lunch on a Saturday with my elderly Mum and we reliably enjoy soup and bread with a pot of tea at various cafes in the Hawick,Jedburgh and Kelso area. We thought we'd try Woodside today. On arrival we noted that the soup choices were chunky vegetable and tomato or carrot and orange but on our way in, we spotted a customer trying to navigate the former with a spoon.....she would have been better equipped with a knife and fork. We opted for the carrot and orange.......bad move, it was sour and inedible.......and to add insult to injury, the bread rolls could only be described as those supermarket par-baked rolls without being treated to the luxury of the final bake. Absolutely appalling......and if anyone cares to comment, I am local and various friends and family used to work there when it was an amazing place to eat. Definitely need a rethink 🤔

Staff here unmasked today and therefore showing scant regard for customers' healh and well-being - so best avoided until they sharpen up their practices.

My Wife and I stopped here with our 2 dogs on our drive to the Highlands. The main car park in town is nearby so just time for our 4 legged family members to lift a leg before arrival. Water bowls available for them. My wife and I settled for the soup and sandwich deal (£7 each) which was served in the garden on a lively warm day. The sandwiches were thick and well filled with high quality ham. The homemade minestrone soup was filling and delicious. Pleasant service. Clean toilets - no need to use the public pay toilets. I would stop here again.

Lovely place, especially if you can get a window seat near the bird feeders. You could sit for hours and watch a host of garden birds as they feed. There is a warm atmosphere and the home made cakes are out of this world. My only itsy-bitsy grumble? The coffee is excellent, but it comes in very small cups.

Worthy of a visit. The cafe serves lovely homemade soup sandwiches and very tasty cakes. It is quite a small place and it can take time for your food to come. However the wait is definitely worth it.

Claim to be dog friendly, yet dogs not allowed indoors, so NOT dog friendly. This should be made clearer on the website. Another prospective customer lost 😠

We enjoyed our visit here. The atmosphere is very pleasant indeed being surrounded by the gardens. Service was also excellent and the menu is wonderfully wide ranging with superb cakes, soups and a good variety of hot meals and sandwiches. The only substantial point we would make which reduces an 'excellent' score is value. The jacket potato was very small and microwaved and even with a side portion of brie cheese and salad seemed poor value for just under £9.00. Cake portions are also expensive and overall we didn't feel it was good value for money.

Enjoyed meeting friends & eating good food at this new spot for me. Service was friendly, food was tasty & surroundings were lovely. We ate frittata, baked potato, cauliflower soup with a cheese scone & a Brie sandwich followed by huge slices of home baked cake. All were delicious. Would return & recommend.

Second time I have taken coachload of gardeners here and been delighted with both food and plants. Not always easy to cope with an influx of over 30 en masse. Lovely setting for a nursery and excellent choice of plants.

In a different universe another Mike is still sitting there working his way through the catalogue of fantastic looking cakes, roulades and tarts and probably feeling a bit bilious by now. Me, I just had the minty tray bake, steeled myself and left with eyes averted, but I treasure the memory of that cake cabinet and will warm myself on cold cheerless days with that memory. Some things are still right in this world.

Second time here as first time was poor. Staff members again did everything possible to ignore my son and I. Where does it say order at the counter? Last time I ordered at the table so which is it? Terrible terrible terrible avoid at all costs.

Food excellent. Coffee excellent. Service semi-miserable. Waited an ice age. Spent ages cleaning tables ignoring us. Ignored us at counter. One member of staff needs retraining on civilities like hello and thanks. Usually good but today poor.

We stopped here for a look around the garden centre and decided to have lunch at the same time. The restaurant is warm,cosy and has a friendly ambience. You are requested to take a seat and choose what you want from the menu on the table, then you go to the counter and place your order. The food arrives quite soon and in our case was delicious. We both had soup and a sandwich, in my case a hot spicy mushroom soup and a smoked salmon sandwich, my wife had a creamy cauliflower soup and a roast beef sandwich which came with a side tomato pickle, I tried it and it was really good. We both somewhat greedily decided to have a slice of cake to round off the meal but the most rounding off was to ourselves as the portions were magnificent. I had a ‘very carrots’ carrot cake which will go down as probably the best ever, and it was very rich, my wife had a very dark chocolate with stout cake, again, very rich. On top of everything else the whole meal was very reasonably priced. This is a super place, a little out of the way but well worth the effort of finding. Loved it !!❤️

Stopped for lunch - food was good, however the soup was not to the kids liking. I had the tarte whiich was fine, could have done with more than just some side salad. Cheese scone excellent. Very good service. Felt it was a bit overpriced for what we got.

Friendly and efficient cafe with a well thought out lunch menu. The smoked trout was simply delicious as was the beetroot pate - an interesting menu with all the usual lovely cakes etc..

Tiny cup of coffee £2. Slice of cake £3.20!! I could bake a whole cake for less than that! Not asked if we wanted a coffee top up as most cafes do. Its all about profit not customer service or value for money. DeeAnne, Kelso

Good coffee, excellent selection of cakes and really tasty soups and sandwiches. The setting is beautiful, particularly the pond area. There is plenty of outside seating, though it does get busy in fine weather. The plant shop always has something attractive to buy. It’s a lovely afternoon out. Highly recommended.

Stopped in for a quick lunch. First impression was that it looked closed from the outside - but as I squinted through the windows I could see people inside. There was a lot of confusion as to whether I could actually have a table despite two two person tables being empty. I was finally allocated a table (in what I think was a quite grudging manner. Although, to be fair, this may have been due to the staff's confusion about whether they were actually reserved or not) so I ordered a Cappucino and a cheddar and bacon tart. Nearly £12 (!) for the two items, so I wasn't expecting a very small coffee and a piece of rubbery and bouncy quiche. I waited for just under 1/2 an hour for the tart, which had a soggy bottom and I suspect had been subjected to the tender mercies of a microwave. It was a small piece and the coffee was small too. I couldn't see any bacon and I certainly couldn't taste any, although the chutney was nice and the salad fresh, but safe to say I won't be eating here again. It's such a shame as the Garden Centre is wonderful, but the cafe really lets it down.

First it took a while to get served whilst the waitress sorted out coffees for people she had just served. Which is OK.

A hidden gem in the Borders, this original rustic tearoom and wonderful nursery is a treasure and such a great alternative to the typical garden centre cafe. Here the welcoming staff strive to serve simple but quality lunches and sweet treats. Choose something decadent but beautifully home made from the dessert fridge, all decorated with edible flowers. The homemade soups and chunky bread are super wholesome and the giant scones are so good that they've run a workshop on baking them at the tearoom! Highly recommended. Snuggle up beside the wood fired stove in wintry weather or eat outside in the fabulous walled garden in summer sunshine. Evening meal special events also regularly feature.

Always worth visiting this tearoom in its lovely garden setting. We visited twice in two days and took very elderly parents the second time. Delicious soup and sandwiches and very friendly staff.

Visited at the end of the day and the staff could not have been more helpful. The full menu looked very tempting and we will definitely visit again, the range of cakes was excellent and although other choices were not available we were more than happy to settle for the sticky lemon and ginger cake with coffee. A very quick walk around the garden centre was all that was possible before closing - what a really lovely hidden gem.

Off the beaten track so you need a car. Plenty of parking although the approach road is a bit rough. Plenty to do with plants to buy, a garden shop and the wild area. The tearoom is accessible to those with mobility issues as are the toilets. I have been twice, the second time with my wife. Between two visits three soups were tried. Two good but the Celeriac one was bland. I had the chili chicken with squash. There were heaps of it and it was very tasty. I also had carrot cake for the second time and loved it. My wife had a ploughman's lunch of which there was plenty but she thought the ham was too thin. Her ginger and rhubarb tart was great. Two coffees each made up lunch. The service was friendly and reasonably quick although l did notice that getting the food hot enough was a problem for customers nearby. There were also birds at window feeders to provide the cabaret. A nice tearoom but not enough meat choices to make this a regular lunch stop. The prices were reasonable for the quality offered. Lack of choices is why l have scored three rather than four or five..

Mi padre me encantó venir aquí con la familia una comida sencilla de sopa y un bocadillo.

Hemos estado aquí antes para tomar café y tarta, pero esta vez visitamos para almorzar un sábado por la tarde. Tenía el almuerzo plowman. La porción era enorme, muy sabrosa y de un gran valor por £8.00. El servicio es de primera clase. El café está bien dirigido y personal, también tiene mesas al aire libre y está en un jardín vallado y jardín. Un entorno estupendo y un poco apartado del camino.

Gran tartas, sopas y sándwiches hechos con productos locales. Personal muy amable, un gran lugar en invierno con estufa, o verano fuera! Perros bienvenidos también!

Un hallazgo. Caminata de cerca de Norham, pero hemos disfrutado mucho en las dos últimas visitas ¡Nuevo! Nada muy elegante, normal, pero el almuerzo tan fresco y sabroso. El tamaño de las porciones generosas, no se estaban quejando! Tuve sandwich abierto y sin duda tienen...

Un lugar realmente precioso que ha sido anfitrión de muchas comidas familiares. La comida es hecha y aunque no es lujoso o sencillo es infaliblemente apetitosos y sabrosos. Habitación para sentarse en buenos días y las aves son estupendas para ver de cerca el interior....

Stopped here for coffee while walking St Cuthbert's Way. Stunning weather so sat outside. Had nicely brewed coffee and scones with jam & cream. Delicious!

Visited for Sunday lunch and can recommend the open sandwiches (new to the menu), great selection of cakes and sandwich choices. Staff very efficient and friendly with it. All run very smoothly with quick service. Lovely, cosy atmosphere we can highly recommend this place.

A truly enchanting place - what a find. Situated a short distance from Ancrum this is a really incredible location. The cafe is situated within a historic walled garden and is in a lovely wooden lodge. The interior has local art works hanging and old fashioned tea cups - a real vintage feel to the room and very cosy. At the table where I sat just outside the window were bird feeders and I watched a whole variety of tiny birds feeding and flying right up close to the window - really thoughtful to have placed the feeders here and children would be captivated! I had a lovely pot of herbal tea and felt truly relaxed. All the food is made fresh on site and there is great selection of cakes and scones and tray bakes on offer as well as home made soups. It is all very good value. A good old fashioned tea room! A garden centre is also on site that has great selection of very healthy plants and gardening equipment for sale and there is an RSPB hut/information centre and garden to visit to. The cafe/garden centre run events throughout the year. I highly recommend calling in for tea and cake.

I have been here a number of times as it is local to me. I like the garden centre and staff there are always helpful. The tea shop is nice, but I think a little over egged. Prices are too high for what you get. I recently had a poor experience which will put me off revisiting. It was reasonably busy, but the three members of staff were too busy faffing about with washing up to notice that we had been sat waiting for a vastly over priced lunch for over 15 minutes. When it was delivered there was no apology for the wait. The cake we had ordered was also half the size of the pieces being delivered to the other customers. It had supposed to have been been a treat lunch out for my daughter,On paying, I was asked if everything had been Ok and I mentioned my disappointment in the size of cake compared to everyone elses. The assistant said she hadn't seen the size of our cake and that often she felt the portions were too big anyway. She wasn't really interested in an opinion, nor did she offer any apology, so why bother to ask? Not the usual standard of service and I will look for an alternative in the future. I don't complain very easily.

Called in for coffee and cake, they have the best cakes !! As usual, good quality food. We have eaten evening meal here before, food was very good, only complaint is they serve you so much food for each course you get full before you can enjoy the whole meal. I wish they would serve 1/2 portions on request.

Very good selection of cakes, also has a good range of savoury items.Great lime sponge, nice garden to sit in, indoor seating as well.Worth a visit.Dog friendly

I'd been given a voucher as a present for Afternoon Tea for two, so myself & my wife booked for yesterday afternoon, Sunday 19th Sept. I asked for a window table but the member of staff had already reserved one without me needing to ask. The window tables allow you to see the wild bird activity on the many feeders outside & on the windows! Afternoon tea consisted of small egg sandwiches, cheese & pickle sandwiches, well presented with edible flowers & salad leaves. A pot of tea for two and then fruit scone with butter, ample jam & cream, also decorated with small flowers, delicious. If that wasn't enough, we also had a slice of Victoria Sponge, a small square of chocolate tray bake & shortbread. Really enjoyed it & felt full!We've been to the plant nursery & tea room before but not recently. We've always found the staff very friendly & the service very good. If the weather is good, there are tables outside too. The plant centre & small shop is good too all within what was an old walled garden & there are still some lovely borders. There is a small pond area, organic composting, veg/fruit area & a hut used by the RSPB.

We went with friends & had a terrific 3 course evening meal made with excellent fresh & local food (very tasty lamb)...and plenty of it! Menu is set but if you don't like something...they will provide an alternative. You can take your own bottle or bottles as we did !!! We even had to ask for a recipe or two...and they were very accommodating. We will be back again. Staff are so friendly & attentive. It is so worth a visit. Enjoy!

excellent food and you can sit outside in the walled garden with your dog. The food is cooked to order with fresh ingredients. My favourite is the ciabatta with brie, bacon and cranberry sauce which comes with a lovely fresh salad.

Love the outside seating with parasols, lovely selection of sandwiches and cakes, all served by friendly ladies. It's also a treat to walk past all the lovely plants and trees on the way to the tearoom.

A tea room by day and a restaurant some Friday nights.In the mornings, scones are freshly made and often still warm. Soup is homemade and uses seasonal produce, often from the kitchen garden. Sandwiches are freshly made and enjoyable.The Friday evening dining is beautifully done, either by Suki Barber, a prizewinning cook, or by Jane, the resident cook. Both make beautiful home cooked seasonal produce, locally sourced and use veg, herbs etc from the kitchen garden when available. You take your own wine at a £1 corkage charge. We arrive at 7.00 in the summer months and begin the evening with a leisurely drink outside on the lawn, or a wander round the garden centre. Everyone eats at the same time. There is no menu choice, but if people intimate beforehand, something different is offered, including a vegetarian option. When Suki cooks, we often have her own home smoked salmon or cheese. woodside produce an email newsletter. It's good to sign up to this, as you then know when the evening dining is happening, and also what is going to be on the menu. This is not a drop,in on chance evening though, you really need to book.

Superb sandwich lunch! As always well filled with a really tasty fresh side salad, and pleasant, helpful staff. Also worth bearing in mind - the plants being sold in the garden shop are locally grown.

What an absolute gem of a tearoom. We love the tables next to the windows where you can watch the birds feeding just a few inches away from you. The food provided in this tearoom is all home made - the soups are lovely with some really different flavours - and all the sandwiches are named after local towns and villages. When you have finished with the savoury food you are then spoilt for choice with the choice of cakes and scones - the cheese scones are gorgeous.I know they have started serving meals on a Friday night and if I had been on holiday for a little longer I think I would have also tried these. Local produce well cooked and served by great staff, what more could you ask for.

We visited again on our twice yearly trip to Jedburgh, again we were not disappointed with the delicious food and charmingly helpful staff. It is wonderful to sit having our meal while watching the birds feeding from the feeders attached to the windows. I suggest it's particularly good to encourage kids to learn about birds. You can also pick up a useful guide from the shop. Can't wait to see how the work in the garden will progress.

Love visiting Woodside at any time of year - great selection of seasonal plants etc, cosy tearoom, with a lovely selection of cakes and lunches. Friendly staff, who let me in early to collect my diary and notebook which I left there yesterday.

. Well- filled fresh sandwiches with a very generous side serving of varied tasty salads. We have eaten here many times over the years and have always found the staff to be very friendly and welcoming - ready to accommodate us if we wished a slight variation in the sandwich fillings.On our last visit - Thursday 26 Feb 2015 - we placed our orders at the counter as usual and received our food as quickly as we would wish. We will be back many times in the future and not in a Landrover.

This place used to be really good and we have eaten here many times over the last few years.It used to be that you placed your order at the counter and the food was delivered in a friendly way to your table in a fairly short time.I understand that the people running the place have recently changed. They now take your order at the table. The problem is that they just DON'T - take your order. We waited for more than 30 minutes and no-one came near us. Other parties arrived after we did and had their orders taken but didn't get their food. We did not have our order taken so after 30-40 minutes of being ignored, we left and went elsewhere. Will not be back anytime soon.Also unless you drive a sturdy Landrover the "road" up to this place will wreck your car.Avoid!

The cakes in this tearoom are definitely the best of any cafe I have visited and make a trip anywhere else a disappointment! The soups & sandwiches are also always excellent. The staff also couldn't be more accommodating of a mum with two small children. Our favourite place for lunch with Grand Pere.

We stopped here whilst route marking for the 2014 Jedburgh Three Peaks 38 mile ultra marathon. We were able to sit outside with our dogs and enjoyed soup, tea, coffee and cake which fuelled us for the rest of our run.Lovely friendly atmosphere, pretty surroundings and yummy cake! Luckily none of our runners diverted from the route on race day despite the temptation to sample the home baking... :)

Lovely setting, lovely food. Plenty of parking. You should go and check it out for yourself. Within a smashing little independent garden centre.

I absolutely love this place. The food is delicious and I believe some is home grown. It is a quaint place with an abundance of wild life as set in Woodside plant centre. I am a vegetarian but there is always a good choice for me. The apple and brie sandwich is delicious and their soup is always amazing and with imaginative ingredients. Well worth a visit. Is located just off the A68 opposite the Ancrum junction.

Easy going environment in a delightful walled garden, delicious lunch alongside very pleasant staff. A perfect stop off within easy reach of the A68!

we are regular visitors to this little cafe, and enjoy the banter with the young waitresses and staff. its pleasant to hear where they are all off to on their life journeys, and as vegetarians for over 35 years- been delighted by the friendly advice and help given by the young vegan waitress regarding which foods are suitable for us to eat. However today our eyes were opened to the attitude of a more senior staff member towards those with more specific dietary requirements!polite explanation was offered regarding requirements of a particular group of vegetarian customers, and the poor waitress was told 'I don't care ' very loudly( dare I say shouted? ) and belittled in front of several customers and staff. if only this behaviour was a one off by a harassed member of staff- but was witnessed by ourselves and commented on by several other customers throughout our visit, and apparently on other occasions according to others present.my heartfelt sympathy goes out to these young waitresses, but we will not be returning to this lovely little cafe. I truly wish the young girls every success at university, and hope they will take away some good memories of woodside, which we once enjoyed as a lovely happy place

This little cafe situated in a walled garden is a delight. Called in whilst hiking by on St.Cuthbert's Way. Very welcoming and friendly staff with a good selection of home made cakes etc. The coffee was excellent. Would be a lovely place on a sunny day with its outside seating.Worth a visit.

The cafe is on our regular dog walk so decided to stop in for a snack, I'm as tight as a drum & don't usually frequent cafe's as we've been stung with poor value for money once too often However !We got a pot of tea for two & two of the largest scones I've ever seen, the word awesome is so overused nowadays (to the point of being meaningless) but the scones were..........AWESOME :-DGive them a try, you won't be disappointed

Another must do if in the area is to visit the Garden Centre and enjoy some home baking, fresh soups and sandwiches especially if you are lucky enough to get one of the 2 tables with bird feeders outside the windows. As well as enjoying the food we also love watching the finches and tits come for their nibbles too. You need to order at the counter, find a seat indoors or out and wait for your food to arrive. Everything is made fresh so how busy they are can affect how long you have to wait.

A lovely spot , whether at a table outside among the bushes and butterflies in summer or inside the cosy wooden tearoom by the stove in winter. The menu has expanded since the Birdhouse opened - good selection of sandwiches, soup and light meals, excellent coffee, teas and cakes and friendly and efficient service. Prices are very reasonable.Good special offers, such as the winter Bakeoff. Comfortable old wooden tables and chairs, gardening books to browse through, bird feeders at the windows.Usually busy and buzzy. Unfortunately no baby-changing facilities in the toilets. The old walled garden has surfaced paths so you can stroll even in bad weather - the shop near the entrance has lots of interesting garden stuff but unfortunately permanent arctic temperatures inside. However you can always hurry to the tearoom to warm up. Short but often pot-holed drive from the tarred road to the car park.

Good home made light lunches in a delightful setting,Well worth a visit if you feel peckish while driving on the A68Warm and friendly. A sandwich or light salad great! You get a very large bowl of soup!

Always love it when I'm out and about in this direction and can pop in, especially if its lunchtime! Great selection of home made cakes, soup, sandwiches (which are a highlight) and pies, using local produce and suppliers. Will come back here every time

Situated within a beautiful walled garden. Came here following a recommendation from a friend, it was very busy on a sunny, February afternoon, fortunately people were just leaving a window seat which we occupied, the window had an outside bird feeder attached which kept the kids (and adults) occupied identifying the different birds. There's a chart for the non ornithologists,also a notebook you can jot down your sightings at the feeder or in the grounds. The menu was varied using local produce and everything was freshly made. The service was great and staff welcoming. Everything in the garden has name signs, although it all looked a bit unloved still, we will definitely return as the seasons change to see the plants and trees at their best. The owners have hit their niche perfectly with this place, recommend.

Set in a log cabin within Monteviot walled garden, this cafe and garden centre is really well set up. The cafe has recently had a facelift and is a little more twee than it once was. Great for soup but lacking in choice of baking. Perfect for walkers, dogs are welcome too, in the warmer months the outdoor tables are great for families.

Good simple tasty food in relaxed surroundings at a reasonable price - couldn't ask for anything more. The soups are always interesting and different, the baking great.

WE expected something smaller. It was beautifully laid out with plants in good condition and knowledgeable staff. Area for RSPB activities, active composting, obviously has community and children involvement, beautiful pond area. Cafe food was a bit different and very good using local and organic products. Slightly off the beaten track but well worth a visit

Visited here a few times for a coffee and cake which was lovely especially sitting at window watching the birds feed. Lovely choice of shrubs and plants for sale. Went for lunch with my daughter but the pie we got which was cheese, leek and potato, was full of herbs and that's all you could taste. Came with a lovely side salad but was quite pricey.

as a local I love a visit out to the small garden centre and when we visit we make sure to have soup & sandwich followed by carrot cake! The food is really delicious and well presented with the staff always pleased to serve us, sitting either inside or out you'll have the company of the local birds, it's a gentler pace old fashioned and simply brilliant..

We stopped off for coffee at Harestanes tearoom and enjoyed it so much we stayed and went back for lunch! Following a long play in the large wooden, and shaded, play park with our grandchildren we enjoyed a light lunch where kids were welcome, well catered for, food was good and staff were very friendly. Return visit soon, easiest babysitting we've done for a while!

What a great little place. If you're green fingered, there's lot of choice of amazing plants, shrubs and even I found a brand new foxglove (Chelsea gold). Fancy a light lunch? There's plenty to choose from. Many opt for the soup and sandwich offer which was reasonably priced. Lovely looking cakes too. If you take your pooch, he too can enjoy the experience as there are lots of outside tables. The whole operation is very ably run by good staff who aim to please. Well done Alexis and crew. I shall return :)

We visited the walled garden this month (June 2013) and found it a very friendly welcoming place. The staff were happy to answer all our plant related questions and our dogs were welcome at the outside tables of the restaurant. Pity is was not under cover at all with our changable weather but we were lucky enough to eat the fantastic cakes and return to our cars before the rain came on.

We spent a glorious few hours here today, had a great wander around the excellent displays of plants, learned about composting from Dave Allen, enjoyed tea, coffee and scones outside, were served by very friendly, helpful staff - thoroughly recommended.

We visit Woodside every time we visit relations in Kelso or are travelling north to Edinburgh.The staff are so friendly, nothing is too much bother. The food is great value and quality is five star plus.

This is set in a garden centre which is in a walled garden. The garden centre is pleasant to look round but I thought the plants expensive.We went to the cafe for a snack and had scone and coffee followed by shortbread. The food was fine and coffee hot although a bit milky. The item of note was the desperately slow service. This was not helped as they brought everything out to you without using trays. The table with eight people on kept them busy for ages as each person had a meal plus drink meaning about 8 trips to serve them. Whey they did not use trays and give you cakes etc when you ordered I do not know. However it was pleasant to be able to sit and chat in a nice garden whilst we waited.

Our visit this morning was spoilt by a mature lady behind the counter who appeared as though she didn't want to be there! Her manner was miserable, a smile was lacking and she spoke to people in a rude fashion. On the up side the young lady with blonde hair was very bright, friendly and had a complete contrast in outlook towards customers. Location is great, cakes, coffees etc are all excellent as is the actual garden centre. Sometimes, we think young people are the ones with 'attitude', not so in this case, well done to the young lady who was very welcoming to us.

nice homemade cakes, but defintely on the pricey side! Lovely little spot to sit outside (shame about the scottish weather thought)

We are fairly frequent visitors here as we live close by. The staff are always friendly and happy and the service is very good.The food is freshly prepared on site and is always tasty with good portions.The premises are always nice and warm with a friendly atmosphere. The views are nice of the garden and the birds with the feeders restocked daily there are always a wide variety of birds.In short a nice place with unpretentious food.

Worth the effort to find this charming little coffee stop in a former walled garden that is now also a garden centre. The staff are very friendly- coffee good and they have some excellent home baking

What a pretty location; we took some friends here for coffee and cake, and found the setting to be lovely. There was a fair selection of homemade cakes and biscuits. (Coffee cake was beautiful and light, biscuits not so good). I'd definitely recommend this for a afternoon out.

This is signposted of the A68 to the right (travelling North) between Jedburgh and St Boswells - just a few hundred yards after the turn, and definitely worth the effort. The garden and nursery are worth a visit in their own rights, but the cafe is also a treat. Very good home made soup. cakes, scones, coffee. Pleasant ambience and location. Only thing that sometimes needs patience is the service which can be slow when the place is busy. So avoid Sunday lunchtime - but otherwise it is a real treat.
