A very welcome second breakfast (first was a garage contribution) for my husband when he was cycling from Lands End to John O Groats. Pretty good, oatcake, haggis, black pudding, home made smoked baked beans, spinach with mushrooms, plus the usual suspects. V cheerful staff enjoying themselves, with music not out of a can great atmosphere.

Charming country cafe with AMAZING food and teas. Nice background music. Adorable decor, including book swap nook. The coffee was very bitter to my taste, & perhaps they don’t know what a “flat white” is. I was able to get internet signal via my phone plan here.
