"The worst cream tea ever. Around £6.50 per person but made with pre made packet wrapped scones, awful packet processed e number jam, cream and one refill of tea, served in paper cups, with plastic utensils and no plates, not even paper. It’s very shocking that businesses in a prime spot, opposite the waterway, in a tourist haven Cotswold village would demean their business and go for maximum profit without thinking about the customer or long-term viability. I suppose they will always attract customers like me but who won’t return. And this from someone who isn’t a tourist but lives nearby. I dread to think what tourists would think. To top it off, there is a 10% surcharge to eat inside with the sand standard of cutlery and food. If the business excuse is that there was a shortage of anything then the usual price shouldn’t be charged. I’m very annoyed at a time when customers are paying lots to eat and judicious about where they would go out so the least I would think is us not to be taken granted for and for all cafes, restaurants and bars to aim high. Especially for food cafe eateries items that are integral to British culture and what are staple tourist holiday food items."

Very nice pastries, coffee, and tea. Cozy place to sit and relax or meet friends. Good, friendly service and reasonable prices.

Just superb in every way I booked three rooms for the family and we had the top floor to ourselves. Breakfast was also delicious.

Food very nice, we had a toastie which was delicious and packed with cheese and ham which I thought was good for the price. Unfortunately milk shake machine wasn’t working. Will have to return to try! View menu

We enjoyed sitting outside on a beautiful day at this lovely restaurant. We ordered drinks, a pasty, sausage roll, buns, and later enjoyed some ice cream. The food was decent, but the main reason we chose this place was because they accepted cash.

I witnessed two elderly women being told they had to fetch their own sugar, one of whom was using a walker and the other had difficulty walking. The waitress should be embarrassed by her behavior, and the management should be ashamed of their lack of customer service training. This reflects poorly on the quality of service in the UK, giving the impression of a business taking advantage of tourists.

We had a fantastic lunch earlier this week at this restaurant with my husband, myself, and our toddler. The food was delicious - we tried the soup and a cruffin (I regret not getting more, they were phenomenal!). The service was excellent, with attentive and considerate staff. It was one of the best lunches we had during our holiday in the Cotswolds. The location was also stunning. I don't understand the negative reviews, we're glad we didn't let them sway us. Thank you.

Cheap ingredients and trying to maximise profits saw a waitress come back from Londis next door with 4 of the cheapest white loaves of bread you can find in her hand for the sandwiches. The most basic sandwiches you will see and not cheap. The cream tea was bizarre. No plate not even a paper plate, just a paper bag like ones you get sweets in and the scone was boiling hot like it had been in the microwave and completely stuck to the paper bag. The cheapest jam and margarine spread too. Simply ripping off tourists with no care at all as to quality.

Dreadful experience. A bread roll with ham and salad cost £6.50. I 'd expect it to be a very good one for that price. (You pay extra for sitting inside too, despite having to collect your own cutlery too). The bread rolls were very dry and crumbly, the filling minimal and tasteless and no butter or margarine. Got a refund for the two rolls we purchased after complaining. The young lad who took the rolls away said to us that he 'd tell the manager they were 's*1* '. Charmed I 'm sure! Won 't be back. See the other reviews saying the same thing. Expensive and nasty.
