This is my local, and my favourite. Delicious cakes, coffee and hot food. Dog friendly, friendly service and cosy atmosphere. When the weather is the nice, the cafe is beautiful outside. I love that it's all vegetarian. Feels like I'm with nature whenever I visit.

Very friendly staff and enjoyed the park beautiful day out with my family. Recommend you try the mocha. My dog also loved his dog treats very dog friendly place.

Chai latte was absolutely delicious, no faults at all about it. Lots of seating outside with a nice cosy vibe inside.

Great place to meet up with friends, lovely food, delicious GF carrot cake and so moist. Will definitely come again and it's vegetarian. Great location, beautiful surroundings, relaxing and tranquil.

Friendly staff, good selection of cakes available, busy little cafe. Half eaten basque Cheesecake shot - it was that tasty, the photo had to wait!

A gorgeous cafe nestled in amongst the mansion gardens, perfect for a coffee and lunch during a dog walk despite this summer rain! New owners, but just as lovely as it’s always been, I hope the sun comes out soon for them :) Cafe is dog friendly and staff were so nice. Flat white was made to perfection! Cake delicious. X

The Garden at the Gardener's cottage cafe has some really exotic and beautiful flower garden
