Went for breakfast this morning, it was so quick in coming it couldn't possibly be fresh cooked. My bacon 🥓 was so hard it went in my napkin for the dog. Sausages tasted like they were bought in awell known freezer shop. The dog had a good feed.

Food was acceptable at best, atmosphere was a little lacking but ok and the place was full of the loudest and worst behaved people I have ever seen, I won’t be returning and if you’re looking for a quiet lunch out then avoid this place!

We had a fantastic afternoon tea . It was preceded by delicious tomato and basil soup. Everything was first class. The sandwiches were really well filled and very fresh. The strawberry tart was out of this world and the scones and baking was super tasty. We came away with a good sized carry out of our leftovers. The waitresses were all really friendly and helpful. It’s dog friendly, which is a bonus.. everything was spotlessly clean . It’s well worth a visit, we will definitely be back.

The time is 0900hrs. We have been coming here for a while ,whilst it was in previous ownership .New ownership not as good. Food was okay ,drinks okay but slightly over priced.Breakfast menu expensive. Went to the gents to use the toilet and was disgusted to say the least .The paper towel pedal bin had not been emptied from previous day ,towels left on the sink .This says that the toilet area are not been checked . My wife went to use the disabled toilet ,came straight back out to report that there was dried poo all over the place .Not been cleaned since previous day yet again . Think it might have been the owner ,gentleman ,went in to see ,still had his kitchen apron on . Pretty disgusting to say the least . Just as an over view ,the food cold cabinets weren’t even stocked with fresh cakes as it used to be . Gone down market . Will not be back.

Cari amici ve lo sconsiglio. Il cibo, se lo volete chiamare cibo, è inmangiabile e di pessima qualità, i dolce niente di eccezzionale. Sinceramente abbiamo pagato esageratamente per quello che abbiamo mangiato. Riguardo al servizio posso dire che erano gentili, ma come spessissimo accade, lentissimi e con molte dimenticanze. Scrivono dog friendly, ma solo se avete un cagnolino minuscolo, se come noi avete un cane grosso non ve lo fanno entrare, questo è comprensibile vista la dimensione del posto e come è organizzato internamente.

This was our very first visit but after today’s experience, we won’t be back. Staff member was welcoming and order taken quickly. Two coffees, a scone and a small glass of milk. When the scone arrived, it was rock hard, dry and crumbly and very difficult to cut open. Basically inedible. I suspect this was a scone left over from yesterday. Was shocked at what this cost. Was not asked if everything was ok. Such a ‘let down’ ! Overpriced and underwhelming.

Customer service is sadly lacking and attitude of a certain member of staff is poor. Asked for a table to be cleared as we were sitting in a very cold spot near door on a bitterly cold day and wanted to move table . Was told by her “ this isn’t something I can do” . Service was slow so overall A very negative disappointing experience . The owner needs to take heed of the many negative reviews .

This is more of a gift shop than a garden centre. We stopped in and were really disappointed with the incredibly poor selection of plants, most of which were looking very dry and thirsty. Never stopped for cake as well were too disappointed with the garden selection. The farm shop was also not filled with local farm produce, and instead had mostly shop brand items.

I recently came here with my partner and our dog on a recent walk from prestwick to troon. When we arrived we were seated promptly and had a drinks order taken staff were very attentive and polite. We sat a long on the couch table area at the front as that was the section where you were allowed with dogs. I will say that it’s ver cramped with other customers and dogs I feel like the full pls r should be dog friendly if that’s the way they are going. This would provide more space for both two and four legged customers. We had multiple drinks mains and couple sides I had the burger and my partner had the tacos. All of which were lovely we definitely would return in the future.

Terrible experience! Will never go back. We tried to book it for 5pm on the day we were looking to go - last Sunday afternoon. The member of staff asked if we could go earlier so we moved it to 4:30. We assumed this is because it closes at 6pm on Sundays. We were taking two people along with us for as a treat for them. We arrived at the door and the place was in darkness but the door was open. We walked in and there was a guy sitting at a booth at the very back of the room who shouted down to us that they were closed. I explained that we’d booked a table for 4:30pm and he simply shouted back at us “aye well something happened the night”. He didn’t apologise for not being able to take us. He didn’t apologise for any inconvenience. He didn’t lift his head from his plate of food. He didn’t move out of his seat to come see us at the front. We just had to walk out of the door baffled and embarrassed as we had two people with us who we needed to feed. This was our first AND LAST visit to this place. This could have been dealt with much better and we might have given it another chance but not based on our experience. When I’ve mentioned this to friends or neighbours a couple of people have asked me if it was a particular person (I won’t mention their name here) but all that says to me is that this person has previous and this wasn’t the first time they’ve been bad. Manners cost nothing mister!!!
