The Old Post Office

We visited on a particularly drizzly Sunday, on a stroll from where we were staying for the long weekend. We arrived dripping wet with a soggy dog, to the cosy, warm tearoom with the fire burning but no free tables. Luckily a table was just getting ready to leave so we were able to sit soon after arriving. We ordered coffee, hot chocolate and cakes, all of which were delicious and well presented. I particularly enjoyed the scone with jam and cream, and my wife's hot chocolate was so generously sized that I ordered a second flat white whilst she was still drinking her first drink. The other food looked delicious, would definitely try other things from the menu on another visit. Staff were friendly and helpful, greeting our damp dog and telling stories about some of the interesting decor, after we were amused by the cuckoo clock's chime. Definitely a perfect place to enjoy a treat and warm up on a damp day, but also well suited to a refreshment stop on a warm day, with the outdoor seating. We were also impressed to see a range of essentials for sale, perfect for those staying or camping nearby,

Lovely little spot with nice views. Only stopped for a cold drink and snack but would definitely return.

What an absolute gem of a cafe. We came here after visiting Townend and getting caught in the rain. The cafe had a really cosy and homely feel to it and we got seats next to a roaring wood fire. We had the soup, sandwiches and scones which were all beautifully prepared and really reasonably priced. The staff were kind and friendly and it had a great atmosphere. We will definitely be back!
