Lovely breakfast with the family, couple of slight issues with the order but they were quickly rectified so no big issue. Will certainly recommend and return when in the area.

Firstly I don't do anything other than honest reviews. I have been twice this week having come from NOTTINGHAMSHIRE to visit my son in Axminster. The service is great, they always have enough staff so that there is hardly ever a queue or a wait. Plenty of tables inside and out and despite not having been since September last year I was remembered by the staff who are all lovely. The food is of the highest quality and once again the Sausages (most important part of a cooked breakfast IMO) were exemplary! Dogs welcome in the cafe inside and outside. There is a fantastic garden centre and farm shop which not only sells great local produce but it now has the Butcher's meat products on-site, supplying the café and for customers to purchase. Highlight of my trip. 5* coffee 5* food 5* service 5 * atmosphere They have a number of other small local businesses opening up around the site, including a wood turning school, and in the near future a dog groomers, so plenty to see. Please give the thumbs up if you found this review helpful.

Nice place to stop for tea and cake. There were plenty of drink choices and gluten free cake options. No sign of any accessible bathrooms but there were facilities for customers. There is a log burner type fire so I can imagine it’s a cozy setting in winter. It was very busy on a Saturday morning so we did have to wait for a free table but it was a nice atmosphere.
