I went to the gift shop, it is Lovely in there, and the staff are so friendly, I would recommend going to have a look while having a coffee.

Changed to 1 star, 12.30 on a sunday and the shops closed even though they have a sign outside saying till 3pm. If you dont want the money vacate the premises and let another coffee shop who wants the money go there. Its also regularly closed way before the advertised 3pm. Ridiculous.

Lady in the shop asked for my order. I said ham and cheese baguette. She proceeded to put just ham and cheese in. When I asked for salad she said "you didn't ask for that". She then tried to bag it up and I asked if butter was added. She ignored me. I asked again, she said "what you want butter, you didn't ask" I apologized and said I didn't know I had to ask. Food was ok but the prices have gone up. Not happy with this surly customer service. This establishment used to be friendly.
