Brilliant little cafe, stopped in for a cake and a hot chocolate with the kids and both went down very well. I recommend trying the Victoria Sponge.

Due to my own bad timing I arrived 10 minutes after they stopped serving lunch yesterday. The friendly staff rustled me up a Panini with absolutely no fuss; thanks very much to you all for helping me out and not turning me away! The food was delicious too and a nice selection of cakes and ice cream also on offer.

We were at the farmhouse caffe yesterday for lunch. Food was very good. Staff very pleasant. A great place to eat. We were also able to celebrate the birth of your new born highland cow calf. The calf was only half an hour old.

It’s a great little stop for cyclists and other travellers. I had the soup and parter had goats cheese salad. All nice. Good selection of cakes from Becky. Locals come here which is a good sign.

Very busy when our party of 5 arrived for coffees and cakes. Waitress was not very welcoming and we felt we were an imposition.Cakes were lovely but not sure we'd return there which is a pity.
