The Smithy in Dumfries & Galloway

Just stopped off in passing for a coffee and scone. Excellent. Not one of the oversized scones that you often find nowadays. Very friendly and welcoming. Nice selection of gifts available too many of which are locally made. Will definitely be back.

lovely tearoom with seating inside and out. Good choice of food and pleasant staff. Nicely situated after a drive along the forest trail.

We visited yesterday while having a day out, got there in time for lunch and have to say thoroughly enjoyed it. It had been sometime since we had visited The Smithy. A little gem in the Galloway Forest. The staff are very friendly and the...

Had nice lunch with soup and sandwich which were very good in a nice place. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Good stop off for Castle Douglas and beyond.

Just had another excellent lunch here. What a good idea - instead of the usual "greenery" piled on your plate beside your toastie, you get to choose from a delicious selection of side dishes. Beautiful!

We stopped after a very wet walk. The cakes are lovely home-baked ones with traybakes to roulades. The hot chocolate came with marshmallows and cream and was delicious. The roulade was very tasty. The parking is on the street.

We stumbled upon this place when looking for some food and it was just lovely. Super range of fresh food.

Love this tearoom!! Great menu & the food is gorgeous. Beautifully decorated with a little gift shop at the side. Staff, especially the owner are so friendly and welcoming. Can't recommend it enough.

This was our second visit and we were not disapointed. We were lucky to get a table as it was busy, so go early or book. The service was still quick and the quality of the food is second to none. Will visit again!

Our first visit to The Smithy for lunch today and it was a lovely experience. Friendly, warm atmosphere and great food. Vegetarian options available and we were able to choose which salads to have with our meal, so you just get what you really like. Cakes and drinks were great, service excellent, prices reasonable. We will definitely be back on our next visit to New Galloway.

Absolutely spectacular lunch, the food tasted fresh and the cafe was warm. The staff are very welcoming and attend to your every need. I could not recommend the scampi pitta enough and the range of cakes compares to nowhere else! I will be back very soon, thank you very much to all the staff.

Popped in for coffee and cake on trip out at loch ken. This is a little treasure lovely family run with homemade food keep up the good work we will be back for lunch 😄

Had lunch there twice on this latest visit. Have visited over a number of years, and the place gets better all the time. Reasonable prices, efficient service, and friendly staff. I love it.

A little gem of a place, in a stunning riverside location with amazing food. The food was so good my son had two breakfasts and I had cake for breakfast. Fab coffee. Everything was lovely, definitely visit if you in the area.

Always loved coming here when visiting the area and was excited (and nervous) to find that it had been taken over by new owners! Thank goodness it was a pleasant surprise and we had a great lunch. We chose various items from the menu, all which were enjoyed. Loved being able to choose salads to match my meal too! Great staff and great food! A must if you're in the area.

Stopped here for a bit of breakfast,nice interior nice people.. had bacon rolls and pancakes.. this place loves the butter... wouldn’t rush back..

This was a lovely spot for lunch. Called ahead as there were 13 of us. Lovely service, great food. Plenty of choice.

Fabulous lunch, great staff, lovely environment, couldn't fault this place, thoughtful and considerate service and presentation. Great discovery we will be back. A big thank you.

We visited here as a family of 7 on Sunday for lunch. We had popped in the day before to ask if they took reservations and to view menu. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. When we arrived, the table was all ready for us and we were made very welcome. We had assortment of vegetable tart, toasties, pulled pork special and kids meals. Everyone was happy with their food and there were clean plates all round. They had great side salad options which were interesting and flavourful, rather than the usual pile of limp lettuce you get in some places. We then also had traybakes and one person had the dessert of the day which was a very generous portion of apple and caramel crumble which I’m told was lovely. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful and we saw them accommodating different needs - a toy brought for a young child and a cushion to support an older gentleman’s back.

Late lunch en route from Castle Douglas to Ayr, great find in New Galloway. Great selection on the menu, I had a ham sandwich with 3 sides and a pot of tea - great food, great service. There were plenty tray cakes & puddings to go for but may be another time - I will be back.

Dumfries and Galloway offers some lovely scenery and with it some great places to stop, not only to enjoy the scenery but also the local hospitality.

What an awesome place. Friendly, helpful staff, great menu and the scones where to die for.

This was the first place we noticed upon entering new Galloway. It was really nice and we came again before we left because it was so good.

Found this by accident as we drove around Loch Ken. In a lovely setting next to Mill Burn with outside seating too. Had a quick look around the giftshop before ordering breakfast. Soft boiled egg with soldiers and latte for me and bacon / egg batch and tea for OH. Lovely. Couldn't resist the treacle scone and cream as had never had one before. Even suggested some treacle to spread instead of butter. Delicious! Dairy alternative (it was almond the day we visited). Lovely staff. Quality homecooked food. Popular with bikers too. Loved the toilet sign - Och Aye The Loos. Genius!

Found this cafe by accident while touring the area. Thought we'd be too late for lunch but at 3 o'clock in the afternoon there was still soup and the sandwiches we asked for were made up and served with choice of sides. All was delicious, including the coffee and scones afterwards. The service was friendly, the place was busy and had pleasant atmosphere. Toilets were clean and well stocked.

We stopped here for morning tea while travelling. The cafe is in a charming town and has a cosy feel. The servers were friendly and the scones with jam and cream were lovely. One of us enjoyed a black coffee but the cappuccino was disappointing. This may not be the place to stop if you are in a rush as everything takes place at village pace, but if you are not in a hurry it is a very pleasant place to pause.

We drove the Tourist route and got to New Galloway in t8m3 for a cup of tea and scone. We were not disappointed when we found The Smithy. A lovely smile, good music, lovely place to stop and relax whether for tea or food. Wi-fi code on the table - Lunches of sandwiches, toastier, specials, Smithy favourites, salads all at reasonable prices. Very clean toilets. Oh yes and a proper pot of real tea! There is also a small shop area with some nice bits and pieces. Opens 9 - 5 closed Tuesdays

Its disjointed tables and chairs, tartan patterns and brick walls gave the place a great personality, which was only accentuated by the excellent music playing in the background and the kind staff. The menu was also very appealing, including a wide range of options. I loved how healthy the menu was too! It was filled with fresh, light options and the sides were mainly vegetable, pulse, salad and grain based. No greasy cheesy toasties to be found here, but rather homemade tartlets and soups. We ordered eggs with chips and a scampi pitta bread. When placing my order I was told that the dish came with three optional sides but as I am not a fan of mayonnaise and tomatoes I declined them. The next thing I knew, the cook came out and offered me some chips and various other options as a side, believing that the pitta itself would not be enough. I found that to be a truly personal touch to my experience at The Smithy New Galloway, which makes me remember the place fondly. You could tell in every bite that the ingredients were locally sourced, that the condiments were homemade (including the ketchup) and that the menu had been well thought out.

Started and finished a cycling trip of the area here. Fantastic location witnin the village beside a stream, very friendly staff and delicious cakes!

Cafe plus a crafts section situated in the High Street. Friendly staff and lovely foods well presented. Good value as well. Serving cafe foods with a twist. Tables inside and outside - great if weather is good or walking the dog.

Discovered this place while working in the area, and decided to give it a try when on holiday. So glad we did. Excellent food and warm friendly staff. Tartlet of day was chicken and haggis served with my choice of salad (great idea,saves in waste!) Treacle scones and plum jam are a must, even bought jar of jam to go!! We'll be back! It's no surprise they won a recent award.

Extensive and accommodating menu, allergen friendly and welcoming Recommended for families, couples, grannies, ladies who lunch, tete a tetes, dangerous liaisons (you can probably tell I’m trying to get to the 100 character review mark)...just go and enjoy

We stopped this morning in a rush for some breakfast and were most pleased with both the food, drinks and service! We ordered two bacon rolls and a tea and coffee to takeaway, which came very quickly and were delicious. The friendly and welcoming staff were what made the visit special! We will definitely be back!

Three of us had breakfast at The Smithy this morning. One had porridge and the other 2 had boiled eggs and soldiers. Plus coffee, tea and soft drink. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and our breakfast. Well done to Margaret, Andrew and staff. We going to be returning.

Called in on the off chance and was pleasently surprised. Staff welcoming and friendly. Although only wanted a snack myself there was quite a substantial menu. I just had coffee and scone and must say their treacle scones are amazing, a must for any one to try.

We visited New Galloway after enjoying hand feeding deer with the forest ranger service. The weather was damp and overcast and New Galloway appeared to be closed.

We were looking for a nice place to go for an afternoon cup of tea, and read the reviews of The Smithy. We headed here, and we are really delighted that we did. Although we arrived at 4:30, there was an extremely warm welcome, and we were shown to a table, spotlessly clean, to make our choices. My partner chose a scone with cream and jam and butter, and an iced coffee, whilst I had a toasted teacake and some deliciously blended Scottish tea. There is so much to recommend this place, not least the small touches of the individually wrapped butter pats! My partner declared the scone one of the best ever eaten, light and tasty. The cakes that followed were wonderful… A light flavoursome chocolate roulade, and a generous, rich millionaires shortbread.

Found this lovely cafe on Tripadvisor!

When I found out one of my favourite cafes had changed hands I got that sinking feeling and imagined it would never be as good. How wrong could I be? We had the warmest welcome from Margaret who chatted to us as if we were old friends. The whole place is very inviting, decorated beautifully, with some great wallpapers and pretty, pale tartan curtains tied back with small sporrans, (inspired). As we visited around 10 o'clock we got to pick from the breakfast menu, which included bacon butties, bacon and egg roll, porridge and homemade scotch pancakes. The latter were served either with bacon and maple syrup or yogurt, fresh fruit and maple syrup and were delightfully light and fluffy! The day we first visited they were waiting to hear if they had won an award for food premises in Dumfries and Galloway. When we visited again two weeks later we were delighted to see they had won "Best new food business" in the area. Congratulations Margaret, Andrew, Zoe and all the staff at the Smithy on a well deserved award! Looking forward to our next visit.

we visit the Smith several times a year. and follow on Facebook. and have done for several years. new owners this year so sorry cannot comment on food quality. but in the past was excellent. we travelled nearly 70 miles round trip only to be informed dogs no longer allowed. please advertise the fact. as in hot weather cars are a no no for animals. I know the option to sit outside was available but not for us. get your signs updated and web sites too as you will find there are plenty of previous customers visit with dogs. at least give them prior notice. sorry but no more recommendations from me

The Smithy in New Galloway is a splendid cafe and tearoom with very friendly service. They do a range of hot and cold food at reasonable prices, as well as sandwiches, cakes etc.

We chose here whilst visiting the area after reading previous reviews on ths site. It was a gorgeous hot day so we sat on a table by the stream, not much water after the heatwave! The place was well kept and clean with parking on the street outside. We ordered a chicken and bacon club sandwich and roasted vegetables in pitta bread. Both were cooked fresh and absolutely delicious. Exactly what you hope for when eating out at lunchtime. We also chose some of the fresh baking on display, highly recommended! Not great for the waist line though! We hope to pop in again when next in the area.

Came in for a light lunch, coronation chicken sandwich, toastie & meatball pasta bake. Everything fresh and very tasty. Also enjoyed some home baking that was delicious. This place has an outside seating area for sunnier days and we will be sure to come back then

Used to visit regularly however the changes with the new owners are not very impressive. Very limited menu - especially if you have children. On our visit my gran asked for a half portion of salad but we were told this wasn't possible. The only half portions available were scamp & chips or ham, chips & egg??? We also ordered 2 salmon salads which were not what we expected. A salmon mash up in the middle of the plate which resembled a sandwich filler (we expected a fillet) and the salad all round it in sections - lettuce, beetroot, potato salad etc. My gran never complains but she said she won't be back. We are all of the same thoughts. So disappointing. We think they've missed the boat and will miss out on repeat visitors.

stopped with my mum, daughter, granddaughter and 2 dogs. Was a scorching day so we sat outside. asked for water for dogs which was given along with askkng to ensure our dogs werent over heating and best shady areas to sit. food was served quickly and check back given. everything was lovely. beautiful setting with good range on menu.

We dropped in for a morning break during a journey and were delighted with the staff, food and location.

Called in here for a bite of lunch. Had homemade soup and bread with a side of chips, tea for two and a cake to share. What a find!! The service was excellent, very friendly staff and the food was to die for. Will certainly be back again, and would highly recommend.

The Smithy has long been a favourite place to eat and drink but we were worried when we heard it had changed hands. We needn't have been concerned because on visiting on Father's Day our welcome was as warm as ever. We had the special of the day, a bit roast turkey sandwich, and it was well presented and very tasty. We indulged in a piece of chocolate roulade which was very tasty and wonderfully light. We returned the following day and had the poached salmon salad, lovely salmon served with an interesting range of salads. Again very tasty, beautifully presented and filling. Will definitely be returning to try the three-cheese toasties. New owners, a very different menu but the same warm welcome and interest shown in the customers.

Ashamed to admit but not been here for over 6 months but thought would be good for Father’s Day. What a lovely surprise the place has had a slight makeover and is very tastefully done. Margaret ( new owner) met us and took time out to have a warm welcoming chat. She mingled with all others to check there meals etc where up to expectation. Food was fresh, plentiful and well priced. Lots of plans for the place but please please locals support this business too it’s not just a tourist cafe. So overall excellent experience, staff very friendly and we will definitely be back soon. Keep up the good work Margaret and team and will see you a lot more in the future. It’s most definitely 10 out of 10 from us

The Positives: This is a nice cafe, in a pretty location where you can sit inside or outside by the stream. The staff.are very friendly. If all you want is a tea or coffee and maybe some delicious looking cake, then I'd have no hesitation in recommending it.

We visited as part of a family group spanning 3 generations.

This is one of the most warm, welcoming, relaxed atmospheric eating place, probably for miles and miles and around, & has a calmly run & a personal/organisedr style The food is made & cooked by staff..(lovely cakes..).hot ,good coffee.....the food is GOOD...VERY GOOD and nice salads ......and SO good to know that the owners ,as far as poss. use local produce ... 3STAR Loos, pretty setting beside the tumbling beck beside bridge into the charming village of NEW GALLOWAY...., Oh Yes.. opposite a pretty park, so you can leave dog(s) in car while you enjoy food - and then take them into the Park for their enjoyment!!. Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff, good food. AMAZINGLY GOOD IN EVERY RSPECT.

Nice Cafe/Bistro in the Galloway countryside. Setting, welcome & service all very good. All 4 of us enjoyed the soup & various main courses that followed. Recommend a visit if in the area.

This tea room and gift shop is well worth a visit. In a beautiful riverside setting, the owners immediately make you feel relaxed and welcome with a wonderful varied home cooked menu ............. yummy soups, daily specials, glorious cakes/puddings, speciality teas, home cooked chips. Our experience left us wanting to return again and again. Fantastic!!

Passed through New Galloway for the 1st time and came across this gem of a place. Ministronni soup made the Tuscan way was splendid as was The Tattie soup. My 3 cheese and mushroom toastie mouth watering as was the vegetable tart with fresh salads. Staff were attentive and polite . If your anywhere near this place give it a visit its brilliant.

Called in for lunch and recieved a nice warm welcome. A good choice of hot and cold food, from soup to salads, sweet and savoury, something for everyone. Nice quality produce well presented, but beware this place gets busy!

We were looking for a cuppa and a bun while out enjoying the sunshine on Sunday. We came across this little place. What a lucky find. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great homemade cakes and yummy traybakes all freshly made. The meals are cooked to order and looked lovely. All great value too. Now that we know where you are we will be back to try the meals. Great gift shop too with handmade glass and lovely framed pics. Great little place. Thanks everyone.

Called in for a snack and a coffee. New place (opened 9 weeks ago) and it was packed and as it was a sunny day, the outside tables were also full. Fortunately, there was one table available for the two of us and what a revelation this turned out to be. We had originally got to Kitty's, only to find that it is now closed and is the new Community Shop for New Galloway, but they recommended the Smithy, and oh boy, we were delighted that they did. From the friendliest of welcomes, to just looking at the beautiful array of local gifts they had on sale (at reasonable prices too!) we had the most beautiful of lunches. There was an option to have a small (or large!) bowl of soup instead of side salads with the sandwich or toastie (amongst other things) and it was truly delicious. There was a constant flow of people wanting tables (yes it was lunchtime, but the place next door was deserted, which spoke volumes!). There were a lot of locals in there too, which is also a very good sign. The owners, who were very friendly, made everyone feel very welcome, and if ever there was a friendly face of Scotland to show visitors, this is it. Will certainly be back, and will be taking all my own visitors there, it is just so special - and very reasonably priced too.

My wife and I had lunch on several occasions over the Easter break. Staff always very helpful and obliging with nothing too much trouble. Lovely décor and surroundings very relaxing. The lunch menu comprised all freshly prepared dishes and included fresh salads and local produce. The toasties are fantastic and we would recommend the haggis and three cheese toastie.

Happy, friendly, helpful staff. Good choice of food and drinks. All good quality stuff. The place was very busy - always a good sign.

Went Thursday 29/03/2018 heard that it was under new ownership so thought let's give it a try . Was only a afternoon cuppa and a cake. The young lady that serverd us was very polite and helpful . I have a strawberry allergy so she made sure what I wanted was ok for me. The scone was lovely fresh and perfect cooked , jam was lovely I,m sure it was homemade raspberry. Also had a bakewell slice must say it was the best bakewell slice I,ve had very good. Loved the teapot very smart and tea was nice and hot . Staff checked were we happy with everything we were . So glad that smithies kept up its great service and food as it's the really only place in new Galloway that does lunch. Will be back to try the club sandwich

Had a lovely lunch really friendly staff . Nice decor. would highly recommend. Had hot sandwiches came with delicious sides of salads and hot diced potatoes which was a lovely touch .

Visited this little gem today and was so impressed by it that I felt compelled to share a review with your readers.

Having visited The Smithy several times over the last few years and enjoyed it's consistent good food we decided to try out the place under the new management. Well it has had a complete new decor inside, new coffee bar, new menu and the rest rooms, whilst now reversed, are still clean and tidy. The new menu was different to the old, the meals we chose were both sufficient and very tasty, we particularly liked the salad selection with the mains, not too green and not overpowering. We took away cakes to eat later and I have to say they were extremely light and very good to eat. Above all, however Andrew and Margaret and their staff went out of their way to make us feel valued and welcome. So all in all we were very pleased we had stopped, excellent food and lovely atmosphere and staff. Highly recommended.

We are always over for lunch, and most of the time it is very busy! The staff are lovely and the food is great. The service time isn't long so you are not waiting for ages. The cakes are very tasty and always fresh. Very good for the price! On a sunny day you can sit outside next to the waterfall which is a lovely setting. The menu is great, there's a bit of something for everyone, and there's a section of the café that sells local and country-style things which is lovely.

Stopped off for lunch as we were passing through and the Smithy caught our eye. It was a lovely sunny day so we ate outside by the waterfall. Excellent home made soup; next time I would ask for a small rather than a large portion! Service with a smile, and our dog was very happy under the table. There is a car park in the middle of the village; don't be put off by the lack of on street parking.

We had been walking in the forest and ended up passing here and stopped as we were all starving. Nice surprise. I had a blt with side of chips and it was probably best blt I have ever had, wife had jacket potato, brother and sister in law had panini and ham salad sandwich. All was extremely good. Then carrot cake, flapjack and Bakewell tart. Overall lovely staff and great food. Worth a drop in for lunch.

I would say this is our third year of visiting Scotland and The Smithy. We always come 2 or 3 times to the café, because they do not disappoint.. They do gluten free toasted sandwiches and have gluten free cake. The service is very good and the staff are friendly. All I can say is that it is a destination place for us. We like the stream outside and the approach is very pretty.

We stopped here today for a late lunch after visiting Galloway forest and visitors centre. It was great. Lovely lunch, freshly made, excellent range and very friendly and welcoming staff. Dogs were welcome too. I had a really tasty omelette and my husband had soup and a sandwich. We couldn't resist the tempting spread of homemade cakes and desserts. A good cup of coffee too. The added bonus was that they had a gift shop attached.

This place is very special. It's always comfortably busy - yet always relaxed and welcoming. The food has that genuinely 'home made' deliciousness and the staff make you feel as though you've just dropped in on hospitable old friends. And to add to the homeliness you can see the Proprietor at his work in the kitchen together with his washers up at the sink! One speciality you'd be crazy to miss is their Duck Salad!

Locally sourced ingredients, cooked sympathetically and well presented. Scones are always fresh and the tastiest I know.

Fantastic little cafe and shop, excellent value for money with a wonderful range of tasty food and quite the best shortbread I have ever tasted. All of this topped off by friendly staff and excellent hygiene especially toilets, always a good sign. Keep your eyes open otherwise you could drive past and end up disappointed.

We visited recently with our family and had a great lunch. There were eleven of us but we received good service. My husband and I holiday in Scotland every year and always have two or three visits to the Smithy, whether it be for lunch or scones with jam and cream. Yum!

We visited this cafe twice during our week on holiday. I had the smoked haddock quiche and raved about it so much my husband was desperate to go back so he could try it too.

Good carrot cake and a good cup of tea; enjoyable, pleasant. Nice friendly staff. Pretty setting, reasonable prices.

Estuvimos aquí para el almuerzo. Tuvimos la suerte que el tiempo era lo suficientemente agradable para sentarse afuera con el perro. Disfrutamos de gambas y patatas fritas, que llegó rápidamente y estaban calientes y frescas con patatas deliciosos y salsa tártara. El menú tiene mucho para elegir, desde bocadillos, ensaladas, sopas, platos calientes y postres o tartas. Fue difícil para mí decidir qué vas a comer. Una gran relación calidad-precio, un servicio amable en un entorno local. Aparcamiento no es tan genial, tuvimos que encontrar un lugar en la carretera.

Lovely place to stop on a hot day with dog for a lovely refreshing cup of tea and piece of cake.. staff very nice and dog was allowed to sit with me outside..

Lovely setting Food first class service very good staff very friendly we only had coffee and scones but both were very good

Llamado aquí en camino a casa de visita a los jardines de Threave - qué fantástica habitación un poco de té y situado junto a una corriente de burbujas, ideal para unas vacaciones relajadas. Té y bollos eran excelentes y vimos a alguien cerca de tener la tarta de manzana y crema de hielo que parecía demasiado excepcional- sin duda llamar de nuevo!

Tenía un maravilloso copa de té verde que podías ver blossom como impregnada. Precioso almuerzo sopa de tomate y calabacín, quiche eglefino ahumado. Tenía un plato de helado de crema o de enjambre Galloway, delicioso. Cafe precioso con bonitos asientos al aire libre. Tienda de regalos muy agradable también.

Es un menú sencillo ofrecido. La comida es buena y bien presentada. El personal es muy atento y amable. Teníamos un bebé en nuestro grupo y el personal era muy comprensivo. No hay aparcamiento en el hotel, pero el aparcamiento en la calle. Agradable zona de estar exterior disponible cuando hace buen tiempo.

Smoked salmon salad delicious and nicely presented. Freshly cooked omelette again very tasty. Nice home made soups and quiches also available as specials. Sat outside in pleasant garden.

Stopped here by chance and had lunch....lovely staff, lovely food and the best apple pie! Would highly recommend this place, we sat outside by the water sun was shinning just beautiful, very good menu and the cakes were fab

A welcome find on a chilly April Saturday - a warm greeting and from Marion and staff with excellent coffee accompanied by exquisite almond and raspberry cake for me, whilst my hubby enjoyed a generous helping of apple pie with cream - clean and tidy washrooms.

We visited the tea room a few time and were never disappointed. The chips are a must. Ladies are very friendly and will chat and help you find things to do. There is a little shop in the tea room with some lovely bit.

A nice little tea room in New Galloway, not very many tables, so getting a seat can be difficult. The staff are friendly and efficient. I was served one of the best burgers I've had in a very long time.

Mi esposa y yo paramos a comer, cuando el ciclismo, el personal era muy acogedor y servicial. Nos sentamos para comenzar pero hacía frío y tan pronto como se convirtió en una mesa dentro del personal nos ayudó. La comida era deliciosa y a un precio muy razonable. Gran lugar, recomiendo.

We enjoyed good quality food today. Homemade soup, cakes and pies, traditional Scottish fayre. The welcome was friendly and service excellent. We will return another time :-)

If you are exploring this beautiful region then The Smithy makes a perfect stop for a good cup of tea and a brilliant selection of obvious home bakes. Rustic - in a nice way. Good Country service and good country fair. Whats not to like.

very pleasant tea room in New Galloway.staff were most welcoming and a varied menu to accommodate any visitor. Lovely shop selling gifts.

Popped in Monday and sat outside by the water with our baby. Lovely food, nice cakes n coffee and exceptional staff. DEF be back soon

We called in whilst passing through the lovely quaint little town.we had our 3 dogs with us so we sat outside.it was a glorious sunny day so not a problem.we had tea+coffee and slices of the lemon cake+bakewell tart.both were fresh and delicious.the staff were very friendly and helpful and we'd definitely recommend it.we would also call again if ever visiting the area in the future

First day of the season for the cafe but not our first visit. Great food cakes and friendly service. There's also a gift shop area with local products. Seating outside for sunny days. Cosy interior and home cooked food. We will be back!
