Brilliant little cafe found on a ride out today. Only thing I will warn bikers is the parking is on gravel so be mindful when entering. But it is in a lovely quiet scenic area great for a little get out and also that have camping to.

Lovely cafe, she did well to accommodate 27 of us on a charity walk. We did give our order in advance but was still a bit daunting. Well done, very enjoyable.
