Whitacre Hall in Stratford-on-Avon

Had a gift voucher for afternoon tea for two at the tearooms. Probably the best food we’ve had. Made on site and very fresh. Staff very helpful and friendly. This is a small rural building which apparently used to be the farm’s chicken sheds. If you want luxury silver service it won’t be for you but definitely couldn’t fault the food. Price is fairly high.

No gluten free bread. No tea cakes. Limited selection of cakes. Advised of long wait for food. Young staff cannot cope when place gets busy WHAT IS THERE TO LIKE !!

Just discovered this hidden gem in the heart of the beautiful countryside. Our second visit in just over a week. We came initially for the walks which are lovely but also visited the tea rooms . Had a beautiful cooked breakfast after walking the red and blue walk. Staff in tea room were very friendly and helpful . Also visited Green Wood crafts which is a great addition to the place . We intend to make this our weekly walk although it's 20 minutes away from where we live.

Lovely spot, nice breakfast Tables could do with a wipe down as a bit sticky The walks looked good,

Great place for walking your dog, with a coffee and lunch afterwards. We had the jacket potatoes which were tasty and a great price. Staff were friendly and helpful. Loos are fine - clean and working. This place deserves to do well - a breathe of fresh air - literally - just a short drive from the city - nothing fancy but quiet and peaceful with the latest addition of some local crafts to buy if the fancy takes you.

If I could give minus 1 stars I would!!! A friend bought us an afternoon tea voucher as a thank you. The approach to the tea rooms is awful, beautiful surroundings spoilt but junk and overgrown vegetation in and around run down buildings. The toilets are basically an Anderson air raid shelter in the car park! Iced coffee was ok, hot coffee was bitter and totally undrinkable. Sandwiches are apparently made to order - the bread was dry - so much so that 1 of the staff members came out and fed the ducks and geese with it! The lady who made the sandwiches was pleasant and helpful - I cannot have dairy so she made a ham salad sandwich (great chunks of tomato and cucumber with very poor quality added water gristly ham!! ) instead of cheese and pickle and half a sandwich of plain cucumber?! I dissected the ham sandwich and cut off the gristle . The half BLT the lady made me was ok . There were 2 small savoury cheese pastries (not sure what they were tbh) hubby ate them as I cannot have cheese,which I had told the lady. All in all extremely disappointing , nothing at all like the website advertises!! Hubby was asking where's the sausage rolls, quiche, scotch eggs and pork pie?! Total rip off. I didn't eat any of the cakes, my husband had a scone and almost choked on it because it was so dry and hard. We brought the other cakes home to give away. I wouldn't recommend this place at all unless you just want to go for a nice country walk, but you have to pay to do that as well! Anyway I needed the loo and was not going to use the metal hut so went to the gate pub on the way home. I feel so bad for our friend who bought us the voucher. If you're looking for a fantastic afternoon tea go to The Jacobean hotel on Holyhead road in Coventry. You will roll home very full and happy from glorious food and unlimited tea and coffee . (Or drinks from the bar if you prefer! )

A lovely place - a small pool with outdoor seating and two lovely indoor areas with wood burning fires in the winter. The breakfast was lovely and the service came with a smile ! In addition the prices were not expensive. My friend and I did not feel rushed and could quite happily have just relaxed there all morning but we wanted to walk one of the 1.3 mile circuits before meandering off to our next planned and pre-booked destination. Not sure what to expect after paying a pound to walk round but it was well signposted and a reasonably well cleared route which was dry thanks to a few days without rain (in the winter or wet weather I suspect would be muddy so take wellies) pretty little wooded areas and gorgeous views over the countryside. All in all we felt the visit was well worth it and we will definitely be back !

We popped here for a little walk around the woods with our dog. It's a nice little hidden place and wasn't to busy when we visited. It cost £1 per adult to walk around the woods. Now the issue i had was with the cakes. I'm trying to be good and diet, but all those cakes looked amazing and i could have eaten the lot. I'll be back one day to sample them!

Lovely walk round the grounds. Great outdoor seating by the lake. Excellent place to visit. Most of the food homemade and delicious. Unfortunately we had a sausage roll that looked nice but was in edible. Staff said they were from a supplier. ( maybe needs to be notified)

Had a lovely walk through the woods then food. My partner had an all day breakfast and I had a bacon and egg roll. The bacon was fantastic and really generous. The staff, especially Charlotte, made sure everything was OK for us, which it was. Thank you.

Whitacre Hall is a hidden treasure which I found online when searching for places for Afternoon Tea. Pre-booking online was straightforward. On arrival staff were friendly and made us very welcome. The log burner was much appreciated on the damp, cold and drizzly day. The food was freshly prepared to our requirements. The team took allergies very seriously although we had no concerns. The views across the area are stunning and I am eager to return for a walk in addition to the delightful tea room. This venue is a treasure and I will be bringing family and friends and don’t hesitate to recommend it.

I visited today with my partner and dog and although the tea room was very busy we were served quickly and the food was great. We ordered a vegan and a vegetarian breakfast both which were good portions and lovely and hot. Their hot chocolate is one of the best I've ever tasted and they offer alternative milks. The small tea room had a wood burning fire today which is a nice touch in colder months. The marked woodland walk is always fantastic for us and the dog and is lovely after a filling breakfast. Even though the tea room was busy and staff seemed a little under pressure we had a brilliant time and would like to give extra notice to the 2 young girls (one dark hair in a ponytail and one lighter hair in a clip) serving from 10am and the young guy bringing out the food as they handled a busy queue brilliantly and were extremely polite.

Lovely place in remote place. Super selection of cakes, great menu for breakfast, lunch or snack. So considerate to do a cream tea for one, not everyone visits with someone. Walks look lovely, will be visiting again for sure.

This place is really known as Whitacre Hall Tea Rooms.....there is not a "Hall" to look around as such. There is a large, very old house but this is occupied by the proprietor of the Tea Rooms. The Tea Rooms also include 2 signed country walks, around local woods & countryside (cost 1£) with great views.....also includes a fairy trail for younger children. The Tea rooms have inside & outside eating/drinking, the outside area being a large timber deck overlooking an atmospheric lake. Excellent choice of freshly cooked meals/snacks& cakes..........in all a great mornings experience.

Stopped off here for breakfast and then did the Blue walk. Excellent food and friendly service. The walk was lovely a mix of open fields and woodland. All in all a lovely peaceful Sunday morning walk.

A rural gem, which seems popular, even mid week. People of all ages, and some with dogs, enjoying the offerings, We ordered the Cream Tea , but the breakfasts look so fabulous too. We will return soon to sample more ! The Drinks License is...

Spent a lovely morning walking around the circular path with a friend. Lovely views and very peaceful. Had a nice coffee before the walk and a really tasty toasted sandwich sitting outside by the lake. Would definitely go again.

Nice location on working farm. Basic amenities. Good cakes. Nice staff. The pigs on the way in need some shade in this hot weather though.

Lovely afternoon out. Nice & friendly place. Good walks, good food & drink, especially a good pot of tea. Enjoy taking the dog & going with family members allergic to dogs - separate areas to sit which is ideal on both counts.

Was going for cake, but ended up having a full english breakfast, followed by cake and lots of tea and coffee. Excellent choices of cake, breakfast was plentiful and staff very friendly, nothing is too much. We have been a couple of times, but never...

Visited today for a delicious breakfast. Very friendly greeting on entering which always makes any meal experience better. Enjoyed the beautiful & relaxing surroundings eating out on the terrace. The waitresses were doing an excellent job cleaning the tables & chairs between customers, well done... just one small criticism, when finishing the cleaning don’t forget to clear our tables of empty cups & plates girls!! we will be back soon

A beautiful walk around the fields followed by a gorgeous slice of cake and cup of hot tea, great service and very friendly.

Nether Whitacre Hall is a hidden gem in the North Warwickshire countryside. The Hall is associated with the Jennens family who were lords of the manor of Nether Whitacre but not open to visit as it is still the family farmhouse.The tea rooms offer home made afternoon teas and enjoyable walks in the rural Arden landscape. A delightful, friendly place to enjoy delicious home cooked food with friends!

Husband and I have just visited this tea room. It's five minutes drive from us and I can't believe we haven't been before. You do drive through the farm yards, but I loved that. Yes it's a bit muddy just after heavy rain, but living in the countryside for about thirty years, I've learned mud is a feature for most of the year in rural areas. It doesn't mean you can't drive perfectly well through the farm, so please don't let that put you off. The tea rooms are very nice, with a large wood burning stove in one and outside seating overlooking the lake. The prices are reasonable, food delicious and hygiene standards are very good. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. We'll be going back again and we look forward to taking our little grandaughter in the future and taking her on a walk after tea. I'm also going to be booking an afternoon tea there very soon for a friend's birthday. I just loved the place.

Fabulous and friendly ... wonderful place to visit with delicious cakes! My friend and I visited for afternoon tea - they couldn’t have been more accommodating for us and our 3 dogs. There was plenty of sandwiches all very fresh and the cakes were delicious. The ladies made us feel very welcome and couldnt have made the experience any better. Each of the dogs had a plate of dog treats and my diva dog was treated to a dog bed as she wouldn’t sit on the floor. So kind.

Excellent afternoon tea with great choice of sandwiches and cakes. Vegetarian catered for and made to feel very welcome, they had even left treats for the dogs.

Really enjoyed our walk this morning, making the most of the rare sunshine.Car park a bit muddy but to be expected with the amount of rain lately.Didn't get chance to try the tea room as had to get home but will try next time we visit when the bluebells are out !

I'd seen this recently on FB as a nice place for a country walk followed by tea etc. We're only about 15 minutes drive away but had no idea about it. Unfortunately, having negotiated the extremely muddy path at the back of the farm, we found there was a very small parking area. Not only that, other visitors had parked so thoughtlessly, leaving large gaps between their cars. Perhaps to avoid any mud? There was no other choice but to leave, as there was no where to park our car.I don't understand why there would be country walks/tea rooms but only allocate such a small car parking area. I would imagine most people would drive to get here, not everyone driving a tractor!! Would it be too difficult to make the drive a bit more public friendly with designated parking spaces?

Came here for a birthday treat , like to try new places.i don’t think you would know this is here unless by word of mouth or having seen it on FB. Well 4 of us came all adults and the ladies working there today could not do enough for us especially as we had a gluten free person with us . The cream tea with hot chocolate was to die for , it was warm and the jam and cream were delicious as was the homemade scone.I would describe this place as rustic , the roaring fire made is all feel warm and so cosy , can’t wait to go back in the summer and maybe sit outside . Would definitely recommend

Lovely welcoming staff in tea room. Excellent breakfast followed by wonderful winters day walk. Definitely worth a visit. We will be back.

Whitacre Hall is ideal for those who want to relax in quiet country surroundings on a working farm. The cafe is split between those who take dogs and those who don't. Thereis a large decked patio overlooking the lake and two clearly marked paths to follow if your dog fancies a walk.

Our friends from Curdworth were so anxious to show us this place. They love it and we do too. We were enroute back to Dorset. Our dogs loved the trail and we were so pleased that the cosy cafe was dog friendly. We had delicious hot chocolate and perfect scones. The staff even brought a few treats on a saucer for them. Will definitely visit again, next time we are in the Midlands.

Lovely visit to whittaker hall. Walk round the lake and yummy cake and tea in cafe. Friendly staff. A real little gem. Will make it one of our regular places to visit. Should be lovely as it develops . Looking forward to seeing the bluebells.

Have bee. Looking for a place to just have coffee and relax on this side of Kingsbury for a long time. Whitacre h ln Hall cafe ticks all of the boxes and is Dog friendly with two separate dining areas and a large outside terrace.

Saw Whitacre Hall on Facebook and thought we would visit... never been before but we went into tea rooms and was given a map of the site, had a nice gentle walk through the woods. Had a fabulous slice of Victoria sponge and carrot cake and sat back and enjoyed the sunshine. What a lovely way to spend a few hours and will be back

Lovely setting, will develop and grow as nature takes it course, the cafe was fine but 'tad' expensive, a more than suitable venue to visit again!

Spent a wonderful few hours this afternoon walking the Blue Trail and the grounds around the pools. Delightful snack lunch rounded off a superb experience in beautiful North Warwickshire.

What a delightful find. Sitting on the decked area looking out over the fishing lake was a wonderful place for splendid tea and cake. All you could hear was the ducks. Lovely staff. Will most certainly be back and will recommend to friends.

On the site of the old Whitacre Hall and moat this is a new venture for the farming team that own it and farm the 350 acres of arable land that surrounds it. A lovely cafe and decking area overlooking a large lake, The food is excellent as is the atmosphere created by the tranquil setting. Not fully open yet but I understand it will be open from Wednesday to Saturday from early August. I am looking forward to my first breakfast there!

Excellent trip around the bluebell walks, grounds, farm and peacocks Avery. Glorious sunny day which made it even prettier. We also took our greyhound who was treated like a prince. Had some beautifully tasty cakes and scones in the cafe, very friendly staff and welcoming. Can’t wait for the next trip.
