A lovely place to stop for a light snack or tea and cake. Good value, charming staff and exceptionally clean. Plus some lovely characters for people watching 🙂.

We have just discovered Broom Mill Farm Shop & Tea Room this morning (Fri 14 March) and what a find. Just five minutes along the road from the big supermarkets at West Auckland & new retail park, this is something different set in historic, peaceful farm land with plenty of parking. Browse the shop selling traceable, zero food miles meats, vegetables, drinks, cheese with puddings & cakes galore! The adjoining tea room / restaurant is not to be missed with super friendly staff serving a full menu from breakfast onwards with new cakes and treats I've never seen before which had to be tried. Their helpful, free booklet ends with "We hope you enjoy your visit to our Farm Shop." Give it a try because you certainly will.

Had breakfast here. Was lovely. The black pudding was the best my husband has ever had! The veggie sausage was really nice. Coffee good and plenty of selection for the kids

Stayed at the Manor Hotel over the road for 1 night and decided to pop in here for a couple of drinks. Has the feel of a proper local pub but the regulars and bar staff (Kieran was a great laugh and very welcoming) were all friendly and chatting away with us. It was Karaoke night with everyone getting involved having a right laugh. If you're visiting the area give this place a visit - you'll enjoy yourself!

Amazing food and didnt have to wait long at all , friendly excellent staff . Would highly recommend going here for food and drinks

The hotel, rooms and spa are lovely - I often have people staying there who visit us but…….Three of us ( all locals, in our 60’s) have been going to the bar at The Manor House regularly for about 6 years for a monthly get together for wine / whisky and chat and spend well over £150 a session. However since some staff changes (staff leaving) the service and the attitude of some of the (largely untrained) staff has become very unwelcoming. There’s a definite atmosphere of ‘we don’t want locals’ which as we’re often the only ones there is quite surprising and disappointing given our custom over the years.
