Nice to have somewhere to have a seat and chat. Coffee was very nice as was the toasted scone. Table service was an unexpected treat. Easy for parking as well.

Coffee excellent. Scones excellent. Ambience very good.
Covid-19 arrangements non existent. No sanitiser. No recording of contact details. No regard for one way system. Owner and customers viewing paintings stood at the end of our table and talked loudly about paintings within 2 meters, without face masks for over 5 minutes. Will not go back.

A nice place to sit and relax with a tea or coffee and scone, and to view some truly stunning artwork.
