"The staff were extremely nice. My boyfriend’s mum had forgotten her glasses in the cafe and they kept it safe for her and I was able to pick it up 2 days after. The service was good. The food was delicious. The garden is to die for! I felt like I was in a fairy tale. This place has become one of my favourite places. I can’t wait to go back there again!"
