Woodlands Tea Room in Ceredigion

Na bezoek aan de drie bruggen van Devils bridge hier even wat gegeten. Prima verzorgd, lekkere gerechten en dus een aanrader.

Well worth the short walk from the steam train to avoid the crazy queues at their cafe every time a train arrives. We opted for the all day breakfasts which were most acceptable...the quality and portions were excellent. The service was friendly and the place(including the toilets) was very clean. Highly recommended.

We visited The Woodlands Tea Room on the 28th July, we enjoyed a lovely breakfast and all the staff were so welcoming and friendly. We walked from here to Devils Bridge. Would definitely recommend a visit!

Stopped for lunch here having visited the falls. Generous sized sausage baps and burgers were a hit with my teens. Takeaway cake was an added bonus.Staff were friendly and service was prompt.

Coffee was undrinkable, think they must have burnt the coffee beans. Soup tasted like perfume and cake wasn't great. Bacon roll was good though !

Absolutely gem of a place tucked away. Food was delicious and reasonably priced and the little shop was well stocked

Had a great breakfast today lovely food and lovely friendly staff. If you’re in the area go and see for yourself you won’t be disappointed

Lovely place, sat outside on a brilliant sunny day eating lunch. Great location close to the Devils Bridge. The staff were all really friendly and helpful and the food was really nice.

Cannot fault! Recieved a warm welcome, the best, softest bread we've ever had, and the cakes.... out of this world!!! Lovely end to our trip away, thank you

Super delicious breakfast, piping hot and well cooked. Friendly service. Highly recommend! Will be back!

Breakfast was cheapest ingredients squeaky with elderly frying oil. Grimmest cup of coffee I’ve ever encountered

We called in here when we had a day trip out to to Devils Bridge falls, looked lovely from the outside in a very tranquil setting, surprised how quiet it was, inside it had indoor seating for the cafe, and a gift shop etc for visitors and for the caravan site I assume, toilets were very clean which is always good to see, staff were very friendly, had tea and scone, all very nice, service was good, prices were very low though, quite shocking in these current times that the business can run at such low prices. We came back later for ice creams and cold drinks, I was pleased to see more people there then, most having cooked breakfasts. I would highly recommend this tearoom, having run a tearoom myself for some 25 years I can honestly say I don't take much heed to bad reviews usually done by people who don't have the confidence to say anything at the time, to find out the reasons for issues and rather hide behind a computer screen, or have pleasure in undermining the hard working people of this world. My husband and I will certainly be back again.

Seen the 5 star rating and lovely exterior and thought brilliant, let's all have breakfast here. So 3 adults and 4 children ordered breakfast, first the sausages were missing so had to wait for them. Then upon looking at the toast it had black mould which they had buttered over. Some of the kids had already eaten some. Took the toast to the woman on the counter who apologised and compensated me with £1.60 ! Spent £65 with them. You may be the only cafe around but please be a little more diligent with your food dates and storage methods etc... DISAPPOINTED 😞

We spent 5 minutes plus browsing, only to be told there was no hot food today. In a very off hand manner Whilst the manager might be looking after her staff, she has no consideration for the customers. Instead we spent £40 up the road. I would not recommend this place at all. RUDE - the year after lockdown, doesn’t deserve to be in business. To be ignored and treated in such an off hand manner - ridiculous

I found this a friendly and welcoming cafe. Also gluten free friendly with a selection of gluten free cakes. I would come back as I heard the staff discussing gluten free options with another customer and I felt they were aware and willing to cater for those who needed to avoid gluten.

Had a cream tea here. Really not a very good scone. Cafe itself quite basic. One table being used for the children of staff to do drawing etc during school hols, so it felt like being in a community centre rather than a cafe. But it was ok.

Tea room was closed due to covid, but there was a caravan serving food outside. We stopped there for a coffee and cake, and a little on the expensive side. The cake was very nice, but the scones were a little dry and hard. The...

Although the cafe and shop are closed at the moment due to COVID, there is a food wagon with hot and cold food available. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. There is plenty of outdoor seating (some undercover) and the staff were friendly and...

Due to the Covid19 situation the main tea room was closed, but they were still serving refreshements and some food from a caravan to the left of the main building (as you look at it). We enjoyed a cuppa and slice of cake - needed...

Went there after going to see the Devil's Bridge attraction. It is very much the traditional tearoom, with good service. We just had tea and cakes, which was beautiful, but the food being served to others looked and smelled just as good. Very reasonable prices.

We stopped here after a visit to see the Devil's Bridge just down the road. Its a little hidden gem away from the other two popular stopping points, seemed popular with cyclists. Its attached to the campsite and would be brilliant for a coffee or...

We went here for breakfast a few times and the bacon roll is very good. Good coffee and the Welsh cakes are delicious. A special mention about how good they were with our toddler. He was a bit excitable and wanted to explore the shop...

the food and drink we had there was good and the staff were all very friendly. and then when I left my wallet there by mistake they were kind enought tp send it back to me in the post. thank you very very much!

Popped in here before starting a days walking, the staff were pleasant and helpful. We only wanted coffee but were amazed at the choice of food on offer and the small price tags. An interesting blend of gift shop and cafe that worked well. Highly...

Had lunch here outside on a nice day. Tasty toasted sandwiches and reasonable price. Pretty setting. Service all good and staff friendly.

Ordered fish and chips and a curry with rice and chips couple of slices of bread and butter off their takeaway menu last night and my wife said it was the best fish and chips she had tasted for ages my curry was very nice...

we only called in for a coffee but we had a lovely welcome and the service was good. loved the café and shop. perhaps we will have more time to eat in next time we are in the area

Very friendly staff great food and a nice gift shop too Fish and chips are a must, but I think they only do a take away one night a week.

This small unassuming tearoom packs a huge punch when it comes to service and scrummy homemade food! We have stopped here often and each time we are served with well cooked dishes and snacks including local items. However this particular review is a homage to...

very nice quirky tea room i had breakfast here after staying on attached camp site food was of good standard, the tea room has a attached shop which sells gifts and bits and bobs staff were very friendly and helpful

we stopped here for a snack two large coffees and one double egg roll and one sausage roll, reasonable priced plenty of filling and friendly service, will eat here again when in the area.

We regularly take our visitors here for a bite to eat. Nothing is to much trouble. Great array of food on offer and reasonably priced. Very popular throughout the season. Particularly like their take away service which has regularly come to our rescue on a Friday evening. Their curry is to die for; I would suggest handmade, full of flavours and a great treat.

Tea rooms/ cafe that caters for the holiday park and the general public, just about 600m from the Devil's bridge. Ordered a breakfast and two bacon and brie paninis.

I am a local and have brought my summer visitors to this tea room for years now. It was quiet, friendly and good value. Alas not any more! The lady serving is very loud and has two small children running around all the time while she talks very loudly to them. My elderly father was very stressed by the constant noise and chatter. The prices have increased and the size of the breakfast has decreased. Cheap white bread for toast and a very sparse portion of bacon and sausage with an over cooked egg. We will make the trip to town from now on for much better value and more peaceful surroundings. Very sad that my local tea room has come to this.

just a small cafe to keep you hydrated ...be aware very popular when the train arrives . enjoyed the bara brith

We stopped here for lunch whilst on a recent break in Llangurig, Llandiloes.

This small tea room attached to the campsite shop - had friendly staff and a small but nice selection of drinks and cakes / ice creams. Family friendly. Card minimum of £5 but not a problem with a couple of drinks and snacks.

Brilliant little place, lovely selection of teas, coffees, and freshly home baked cakes, food all very good, Friday fish and chips lovely and fresh, also serves as little shop for the site with everything you will need, staff all very friendly, lovely place in lovely quiet surroundings

camped here for 1 night nd walked to the tea rooms for afternoon tea which was beautiful clean establishment friendly helpful staff was so impressed we returned for cooked breakfast following day excellent food at affordable price would definately recommend

Popped in for a quick bite. Trepidation was needless as the chicken curry arrived. Good sized portion for the price. A carbon copy of the classic vestas chicken curry, but with real chicken. Complete with sultanas, it was a filling trip down memory lane. It's not Jamie Oliver, just good value, no nonsense grub.

Lovely 'tourist' cafe with lots of lovely Welsh trinkets to purchase at very reasonable prices.The breakfast is amazing......especially the quality of the bacon!The staff are very friendly and personable. I'm a local!

This is a tea room predominantly for people staying in the caravan park behind it and visitors to Devil's Bridge Falls, though open to all. It is quaint.

Unfortunately we wern't very impressed with this tea room. The sandwiches we ordered were pretty dry and very overpriced. Not particularly clean or friendly either. Won't be visiting again. Especially as there are other tea rooms in the area offering fantastic friendly service and beautiful home cooked food.

This little find was fairly reasonably priced with a small menu mainly snacks. Only one toilet and not really dog friendly unless you want to sit outside in the rain!

Never been to a tea room before, so wasn't sure what to expect. Was in the area and my partner recommended we pop in here for a tea and a sit down. We walked in and was greeted by a lovely woman and her friend. We had really nice warm scones with jam and cream. Was a really cute friendly place. And would definitely go back in the future

Used fairly regularly in the past 6 months, one lady has overcharged me 3 times, and that will be the last time, another lady, who serves there is very friendly, polite and does great food, but I'm not prepared to be overcharged by I think the person who is the Proprietor, the other lady, name begins with J, should be the owner, as the other lady is unpleasant and money obsessed just like the chocolate shop, shame, as I enjoyed the rides over there, and will miss the pleasant atmosphere when J is in charge.

Having pased through the Devils Bridge area several times before thinking how beautiful and enticing the tea rooms looked....How wrong could I have been!! On arrival the lady serving was extremly rude and abrupt, questions were answered with blunt one word responses, it was like we were an inconvenience. When we took a seat the experience went drastically down hill, there was a large dead blue bottle in the sugar bowl, old bits of food on the table and a sticky tacky table cloth which seemes to melt a little bit more everytime a hot item is place on it. The food arrived quickly and was served by a much happier member of staff, possibly the owner! The food was ok at best, although extremely over priced for the quality. There is a gift shop which seems to sell anything and everything. Toilets were clean and tidy although no hand towels only an old handdryer. All in all I will definitely not be visiting again.

We stopped here in the pouring rain and had such a warm welcome. Nothing was too much trouble for the delightful lady who runs this establishment. We all had perfect, freshly made sandwiches and delicious homemade cakes. Super clean and warm. The lady even helped me with my Welsh to send a card back to my school. Thank you.

Whilst on holiday in Wales recently, we decided to take advantage of the unseasonably mild weather and visit a place called Devil's Bridge - a nature trail which guides you along Jacob's Ladder footpath in the Rheidol Gorge below the aforementioned bridge and which eventually leads to a breathtaking cascade of water, your just reward for having survived nearly 700 steps along the way! It really is a very pleasant walk and not as strenuous as it may sound. But, should you wish to fuel yourself with some refreshments beforehand or reward yourself afterwards (we had tea and Welsh cakes)then I can recommend the aptly named Woodlands Tea Room and Gift Shop which has seating both inside and out, part of which is under cover so, on the odd day when it's raining, but not too cold, you can still enjoy the peace and beauty of your surroundings without getting wet!

Should be 3+ ...We called in after visiting Devils bridge. They had a well placed sign and decided to call in and try. It was a character building which appeals to me. The welsh cakes and cakes very nice with a lovely cup of hot coffee. Toilets basic due to age could be very awkward if you got a disable person with you. The lady in charge pleasant but looked if she had a long day

We were out for a drive from The Elan Valley to Devil's Bridge and called in here for a late lunch. What a fantastic find, great food, very friendly service and very reasonably priced. I can recommend the Bacon, Brie and Cranberry Panini. The surroundings are very nice and very clean.

We were taken here to eat on a day trip as the first option was too busy and we were not sure what to expect. We only wanted a snack lunch and ordered jacket potatoes. These were surprisingly good with salad and what we had we certainly enjoyed. Most of the staff were very friendly although one lady was quite abrupt and that overshadowed the efforts of the other staff. The seating was rather haphazard but it was busy and clean and although the service was quite slow, the food was tasty and hot and worth the wait.

Having stopped at places like this before, especially in touristy areas, I've learned not to expect much. However - this was a very pleasant surprise.

I read previous reviews critical of the staff here, but we had an entirely pleasant visit for a snack whilst seeing the Devil's Bridge (about 300 yards away).

We stopped at this tea room on our way further into Wales which looked really quaint but what a major anticlimax! Miserable woman who we assumed to be the manager who proceeded to shout angrily at my 2 year old child for picking up a teddy which had been positioned at child's level for sale! She then continued to hover around us making us feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome. We swiftly drank up and left. It was a poor entrance to Wales and the start of our holiday. We were disgusted with the place, the awful attitude of staff, the miserable manager in particular. Possibly might have considered staying there in future if not for this experience.

This was my first time visiting the Woodlands Tea Room. The location is fab! The staff are welcoming, really family friendly - i was there with my 2 young ones (4&almost; 2!) The food came relatively quickly considering we weren't the only people eating. I had a woodlands breakfast, the kids had jam on toast- very satisfied.

My daughter and I were recently staying on the campsite and thought it'd be a treat to have a cooked breakfast at this cafe. I ordered a Woodlands Breakfast and a bacon roll. We sat down and watched both of our orders go out to customers who arrived after us. We waited for 35 mins before I questioned where the food was and got the "What did you order?" response, followed by the waitress going into the kitchen, giggling, then coming back out and walking off!! When she came back, I asked again "Where is our order, please. We have been waiting 40mins" - this was answered by "Yes, it is just coming" - when it arrived, she said "I am not sure what happened" to which I responded that our orders very obviously went to other customers. I just would have appreciated a little honestly and some kind of placation. Instead, we sat and ate in silence, feeling very uncomfortable, I then noticed I only got one piece of bacon instead of the two mentioned on the menu, at this point I had no appetite. We will definitely NOT be going back here.

I'm writing this review sat all snuggled up in our tent just up the hill from the cafe after some great take out fish and chips. As usual the staff were great as I ran in from the rain and got my order I telephoned in not long before grabbed the piping hot fish and chips and raced back to the tent to feast apon them with the family! As the year before they were delicious and we were left wanting for more :)

visited here after the devils bridge for an all day breakfast , the food was excellent, tasty and hot. The gripe i have is the man who served me , he just didn't seem happy, he was polite don't get me wrong maybe it was just an off day . otherwise everything else was great .

Tried takeaway tonight, they were very busy but service was quick, food was freshly cooked, staff very helpful, were able to answer questions about gluten free and offered options to suit. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal's, thank you

We had great food, The best bacon & Egg butty Ever. Great hospitality from very friendly staff. The coffee was good the cakes were very good and the kids were not bored as they could browse around the souvenir section after they had finished their food. .Prices in both parts of this tea room/cafe were very competitive.

We recently stopped in for a hot drink as we travelled through mid-Wales. The tea room is is a scenic spot and and has convenient parking near the Devil's Bridge and falls.

Looks like an old quaint building form outside and is pretty much the same inside. They have quite a few gifts for sale and the food and drink was very good. I can recommend the burgers. If you are doing the walk around the bridge, you might as well go here either before or after for some fuel (ie food). The sandwiches are also recommended.

Our extended family of 8 called in this week after visiting Devil's Bridge Falls. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had sundaes and cakes, which were all gorgeous. The setting is lovely, a gorgeous place to spend an hour relaxing in the sunshine after all those steps at the Falls!

The first visit was pre-Devil's Bridge and we had a breakfast. The breakfast was good, service wasn't the best. The one thing that let the breakfast down was the poor quality sausage.

This is a lovely setting in the woods as the name suggests. Very friendly staff, all with a smile. The breakfast is mostly deep fat fries and I think that's everything on the plate, the mushrooms were burned black. Shame.

We stopped here after visiting the bridge and falls, I got (probably) the best ploughmans lunch I've ever seen, all the food was excellent, the owners / staff were warm and kind, the cakes were home made and delicious, but, and I couldnt help but be shocked and somewhat confused, on the way to the toilets I noticed that they sold GOLLIWOGS, yes ! golliwogs, I sat and pondered the situation for a short while, and decided that they have no idea what that means.

The tea rooms are under new management for 2015 and we gave the takeaway a try as we had heard positive feedback from others who had been there. We were not disappointed, the fish and chips were excellent, and their prices were very reasonable.

We stopped here for our Breakfast on our way to Wales on Friday last week, having visited before in the past, and find this lovely cafe/tea rooms very relaxing, in a beautiful area with its own Caravan Park close to Devil's Bridge.

Stopped here on way back from holiday, great to eat outside and keep the dog with us. Owners happily gave us water for dog. Food was ok, not outstanding, quality of burger needs improving and salad looked like it was from the 70's. Toilet needs a good scrub. Gift shop is amazing, so well stocked and not expensive. Staff are very friendly and with a bit of work this place with its location could be amazing.

Called in here for a spot of lunch prior to visiting Devils Bridge.

Called into this 'tearoom' Saturday and found it most unwelcoming. The staff were miserable and the place had no atmosphere. If the owners are selling up then at least put in some effort before you close.....

These tea rooms were a part of the campsite we were staying on. We unfortunately could not use the Wifi which was free for people using the tea room but we found the signal too weak. We had some friends visiting us and used the tea rooms for lunch. The menu is rather limited but the food was good. They are very popular for refreshments being just 5 minutes from the Devil's Bridge attraction

Visited one morning for breakfast with a friend. Good breakfast, would have preferred non-plastic sausages, but it was on the whole enjoyable. Portion size was satisfactory although did not appreciate the thin Mother' Pride style bread for toast. Butcher's sausages and baker's bread would have made such a difference to the quality of the experience. The venue was interesting, reminiscent of a cricket hut, but full of trinkets and curios which kept us amused for a while. What was bad and will keep us from rushing back was the surly nature of the gentleman at the counter, who steadfastly refused to engage in any banter of any kind, didn't even manage to elicit a smile. The lady who served breakfast was equally disengaged from any interaction with her customers. Although our table was adjacent to a radiator, it was not switched on and we were very cold, unable to take our jackets off.

We regularly call here on the way to Aberystwyth for breakfast, lovely setting, very good food and excellent service. Definitely recommend

This tea room is about a quarter of a mile from Devils Bridge and falls and was a really cracking find we only stopped for tea and cake, but they also do basic meals, egg n chips etc everything very reasonably priced so if you are on a fixed budget this is the place to get something to eat. Everything clean and tidy and the people are friendly. There is also a gift shop

Located very close to the waterfalls and bridge this place is ideal for a light lunch. We only had sandwiches and a pot of tea but everything was freshly prepared and served promptly.

After getting totally soaked climbing up to Devil's Bridge along the falls, we headed to the Woodlands Tearoom to warm up and get dry. The almond slice I had was simply the best cake I've had for a very long time and we truly enjoyed the generous amount of paned we were served. Already decided to head back for a cuppa and cake next time we're this way in Wales.

Great friendly place and lovely food and cake, really well worth a visit. Great location and ideal for lunch after a walk around the falls, simply the best place to eat in Devils Bridge

We noticed this place on the way to a business meeting and called in on the way back and found a very pleasant tea room which was spotlessly clean. The menu is limited as it is a tea room but the breakfast served till noon seems to be good value. We arrived for a late lunch and had a good meal which was well priced with both the tea and coffee served being excellent.

We visited The Woodlands tea room after our walk (expedition even) at the Devil's Bridge Falls, it's just a short walk away although there is a car park should you not have the energy. It offers a very pleasant place to have something to eat and a lovely pot of tea and should you visit on a dry day there is outside seating available. The choice of cake is mouthwatering, we settled for the coffee and walnut which was scrummy but we could equally have had the Welsh cream tea, decisions decisions!! there is also a choice of hot food, all at reasonable prices. The shop offers a variety of gifts, sweets and nick knacks sale along with a variety of Welsh cake and biscuits (take home some Bara Brith) the ice cream looked delicious too. Toilets are available, very clean, and there is even a baby changing mat. If you're in the area and looking for somewhere to rest and revive stop off here.
