Ford Village Shop & Post Office

We called in to Ford & Etal on our way to Coldstream and Duns during a week based nearby in Wooler. As it was early March the estates were quiet and the weather was changeable. We were happy to find that the post office and village shop also had a dog friendly tea room and so popped in for a cuppa. Ordering tea in a cafe can often be a bit of a lottery as so many places now put much more emphasis on providing a never ending array of coffees with ridiculous names. To my intrigue and delight I was presented with a glass pot of tea made with fresh leaves. It was quite simply the nicest 2 cups of tea ever. The shop stocks Brew Tea Co merchandise and I was tempted to make a purchase there and then, however the shop owner advised that the company has an excellent website and that a monthly subscription provides the tea via the post! On returning home I ordered a two person teapot, which arrived yesterday and is now my favourite 'new toy'

I would like to give 3.5 stars but Google review doesnt allow Absolutely home made food offering, by which I mean wholesome, big portions and with attention to detail (fantastic home made coleslaw). Nothing fancy but who needs that when you are just hungry and wet! Tasty and good value compared to some cafe Ive eaten in. Friendly owner and our dog was allowed in as we were only diners on this wet Thursday afternoon in October. Good well stocked gift shop, also offering essential some essential grocery supplies.

Stayed here a few months ago, the rooms were very cozy and the location of the place was good. There was lots to see around the place and we enjoyed walking around the village. The breakfast we got every morning was very tasty. The people working there were really nice and interested in conversation. Everything was a bit of a drive away but it didn't really matter to us. Overall it was a very nice stay. :)
