Visited for food and a drink which was nice & probably worth what I paid, especially for this area but the awkward atmosphere left me feeling like I wouldn’t want to return here again and really brought down the experience. I felt on edge the whole time I was in there because of the manager. (short white haired lady). We could hear her in the kitchen speaking quite nastily to the young waitresses. She’s got one of those shrill voices that travels. There is a time and a place to reprimand staff and in front of or even within earshot of your customers is just not it. This wasn’t the first time I’ve been in here and heard her addressing her staff over things they have done wrong in front of customers or telling other customers how useless her staff are. The staff present during my last visit were basically just kids and one in particular had tears in her eyes the whole time we were in there. This doesn’t make it a pleasant atmosphere for your diners. This could be a lovely place but it needs a really calm atmosphere given the beautiful surroundings. Such a shame it doesn’t feel like this inside at all. It made me feel quite on edge and I couldn’t get out quick enough.

Just been for lunch at the Cottage tea room with 5 children and 2 dogs and all of us wet and mucky. They were so welcoming and helpful with the children as well as supplying stickers to keep them busy while we waited for food. The food came quickly and was delicious. Such a great experience and will most definitely be back!!!

Highly recommend, contacted to deliver an afternoon tea to a friend after an accident as a treat at a local address rather than go to bigger online companies I wanted to give a local business support, couldn’t have been more helpful & delivered a lovely afternoon tea at no extra cost for delivery

Been here today for afternoon tea, my friend booked it for my birthday treat. We were a bit early, so we sat by the lake for a while, watching the geese and ducks, so lovely. We were warmly welcomed to the tea room. The staff are so lovely and friendly. Now to the afternoon tea, was it good? No. It was DELICIOUS . The sandwiches were so tasty, the cake wonderful, the scone so so good. And all served with a tea pot full of good tea. We were asked if we needed any more,ha. We were stuffed. We would definitely go again, thanks so much. Christine and Alison.Parking: Found a space just round the corner from the tea room.

A wonderful place. The food is delicious & the owner always so friendly. A great place to finish off a walk with the dogs.

Lots to choose from even though a small tea room, would go again, next time not just tea and cake as the savoury choices looked really good.

What an absolute gem. Dog friendly, muddy boot friendly. Great piping hot food and even half a sausage fir the dog! Really friendly staff and the homemade simnel cake was delicious ?
Mark Sheffield
Lovely little tea room. The range of homemade cakes and biscuits is fantastic. Decent speciality tea menu too. It's not a big place so get there early if you haven't booked!

We happened upon this little gem for brunch on our dog walk from White Coppice to Brinscall. Although it was busy, we were made to feel very welcome, along with our little dog. Excellent food, very hot and fresh and reasonably priced. Our dog was also treated to a sausage which he very much appreciated. We will definitely be back again.
