“ What a great place to relax or be adventurous ”
“ Lovely , friendly , helpful staff with a good sense of humour and friendly banter. A lovely cup of Yorkshire Tea while looking over the lake. Also a dog friendly place ”
“ There was dragon boat racing on the lake so it was busy. It was well organised and the small queue moved quickly. The cheese and onion slice was really nice too. They even have a dog menu ”
“ Nice cafe, good prices, great place to grab a drink and an ice cream on a hot day. There’s seating outside and then another part of the building you can sit in. ”
“ Ordered a breakfast sandwich, cake (huge slice) and drink as a stop off on my lunchtime cycle route. Great value at under 10, plenty of outdoor seating and somewhere close by to safely lock up my bike whilst I enjoyed the stunning view across the lake. Lots of couples and groups socialising and enjoying the cold but sunny afternoon. Toilets also available in the visitor centre. ”
“ Best coffee I've had in a while. I used to work at greggs and if you don't follow out regular coffee checks and change it accordingly then it can well vile. At greggs we hardly had time and it was neglected to say the least. You can tell this coffee is checked regularly thank you. Needed it as I was freezing from my walk. They had lots of homemade treats that looked incredible but I resisted due to been on a health kick ”
“ Usually sit outside during a dog walk. Good for dogs. Often see elderly and disabled people. Great staff. Average cafe style good but fairly cheap. Update now has indoor seating and serves alcohol ”
“ As stated before. Beautiful place. Amazing wildlife and the cafe has been upgraded. The coffee and selection of snacks, ice creams and drinks was brilliant. Forgot to add. If you're a coffee lover, life me... You must try their Flat White. Their coffee selection is brilliant and they also have extra shots of syrup if you like different flavour in your drinks. My friend had some in her black coffee and she loved it. ”
