Lovely tearoom / cafe located in an old chapel with a unique & cozy atmosphere. They offer teas, cakes, soups and sandwiches. We tried the Wales Rarebite which was very delicious, the carrot & coriander soup was tasty too, and the cakes of course were delicious! The price / portion ratio is fairly good, but a slightly bigger slice from the cakes would be nice. The couple who runs the place are very welcoming and friendly!

We are new to the area and have been three times now. What a truly unique cafe. The chapel has been converted very sympathetically and with such attention to detail. Both Jackie and Peter are extremely welcoming and witty hosts! I just love the original chapel pews and comfy sofas. We have sat all over the cafe and the atmosphere is that of relaxed and a real happy vibe. There are plenty of books to read in the bookcases and our daughter loves the board games area. The large toilet would easily accommodate a large buggy or wheelchair. It’s been lovingly decorated and there are so many personal touches to this spacious toilet/baby changing area. There is ample room out the front to sit with your dog/bike/buggy and enjoy a cup of tea/coffee and a bite to eat. I really love the tea cups and saucers. I’ve had a different set each visit and a variety of cakes is delicious. I can also vouch for the toasties and omelettes! All in all, a really unique cafe in a beautiful setting. You will not regret your visit and will receive a very warm welcome!

My partner stopped in here for food with a few friends on her walk today and I haven't stopped hearing positive things about it. They couldn't have been more accommodating to the small group or the dog. Often giving my dog treats or attention on the way past. The food was wonderful from the feedback and great value for money. I can't wait to walk myself down there for a bit of brekkie!

Such a nice place. The staff are lovely and the food was amazing. We got the cheesecake and millionaires shortbread which was (£1) and amazing!! They also served probably the best pot of tea we have ever had out! Honestly the place was so lovely and I just love how they kept seating and structure from when it was a chapel
