"Oh dear. Having passed this place many times we decided we might give it a go. It was sunny and so we sat outside. There is very little space between the café’s curtilage and the pavement, enough room to get in four or five picnic type tables, a couple of which had umbrellas. Otherwise, the area is untroubled by any kind of decoration. The form is that you go inside and order and that they bring your order out to you. Inside I was greeted – or more accurately not greeted by an unsmiling lady whose mood may have been occasioned by the inconvenience of having to break off from her conversation to take an order. Or maybe it was caused by the prospect of doing something about the very visible large pile of used plates and crockery waiting for someone to wash them up. Our coffee arrived fairly promptly accompanied by a rather dismal apricot Danish, which may have been seeing daylight for the third or fourth time that week. The coffee was passable, but in a resort town like Bude the bar is set fairly high and passable doesn’t really do it. I don’t know if the place is run by its owners, but in the unlikely event that they are reading this, here are some tips. Put a bit of thought into making the outside more appealing. If you can afford it, put a palm tree in one of the corners or at very least get some greenery. And while you’re about it, junk those picnic tables. Many of the elderly and the disabled can’t use them and anyway you’re not a country pub. And whether the place is run by you or your staff – smile at the customers. They’ve got what you’re after – money. The catch is they’ve got choice too."

"Stayed at the Gilvenbank this weekend as we were attending a wedding at Balbarnie House. The hotel is lovely but the rooms were very basic. The pillows were paper thin, the curtains were so thin the light shone through and the bathroom was dangerous. I stood in the bath to have a shower and within seconds was on the floor of it as the non slip stuff on the bottom of the bath was non existent and clearly hadnt been cleaned properly. I ended up attending the wedding with a huge bruise on my arm and limping as I 've got a huge black bruise on my bottom and leg. I spoke to reception and I 've emailed the hotel manager and not heard a thing back. Reception said they couldn 't do anything as we paid before we arrived and the manager wasn 't in at the time. Our other friends rooms had marks on the walls, tvs that were smaller than your phones and didn 't work and beds that they had to push together themselves and the rooms were so dark they had to have their lights on all the time. On the Saturday night the reception staff told us there was a party that would be finishing at 11. This party was still going at midnight with guests standing outside shouting until 12.45 am. The patio doors in our room didn 't shut properly so we could hear everything. It was like they were in our room and the music thunder through the floors of the room to the point we could sing along. When we rang down to complain were just told it 'll wrap up soon . The bar staff were lovely, the food was nice, the location was perfect for our visit and the staff did get us more pillows and an iron when we asked for them. Just found it disappointing that I reported I 'd been hurt in their hotel and it was shrugged off and that we couldn 't sleep because of the party that finished nearly 2 hours after they told us Would stay there again if ever in the area as it was clean and these things could be easily resolved."

"Based on the Google ratings we chose this cafe today and we can confirm all the other 5 star ratings. It 's a beautiful little family business. We immediately felt like we were at home with mum (in this restaurant probably also like at home with dad, because he is the cook, if I remember correctly). We were served quickly and friendly. The food was delicious and you could tell it was freshly made. It 's really worth the wait, which was perfectly fine (less wait usually means worse quality). There are also vegetarian and vegan dishes marked with v and vg (I think more v could be added here). There were a lot of guests that day. As soon as one left, the next came in. So a very very popular cafe. Despite this, the owner took the time to talk to us and also to answer questions. I really like the style of the 1940s. And it is nice that it is consistent in decoration, music and menu. I like the pun Four Teas . Finally, I would like to mention that we really liked that our table was cleared and cleaned first and then we were shown to the table. This was very friendly discussed with us beforehand. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian/vegan dishes marked with v/vg. Other side dishes to supplement, also vegetarian. Dietary restrictions: Detailed information on allergens is on the menu. Kid-friendliness: Children 's chair available. A family with four children, we with two adult children and a mother with one child were there and were served very friendly."
