On the plus side, the staff were friendly and polite. The coffee was excellent with a lovely selection of home made cakes. But at £32.50 for two coffees, one full breakfast and one veggie breakfast was left disappointed at the quality on offer. Did mention this so hopefully they will improve.

Very loathe to write this but I must be honest, we found the cooked breakfast to be expensive for what you received, and the sausages were very pale for our taste. That said the plain scones we purchased from the bakery were delightful and the setting is fantastic. When we visit again it will be just coffee and toast or cakes!

Visited today for a late lunch and was not disappointed. We both ate well and really enjoyed it. Portion sizes were huge and great value for money. Too full for cake so bought a couple to bring back with us ad staying local for a few days. Also bought a couple of bits from the shop. Hoping we can squeeze in another visit before returning home.
Update… we made it back this morning for breakfast before heading home. Absolutely fantastic breakfast. Was nice for a staff member to have recognised us from our previous visit. We will be back to see you again next time we visit the area.

Although an overcast day, was a nice place to visit. Nice farm shop with a good cheese counter with staff although a bit reserved, very accomodating.
Stopped for lunch I’m the cafe being the soup and sandwich combo which was good value considering how good a quality ingredients and very hearty while tasting delicious. Very good coffee. Only slight criticism is the staff weren’t particularly engaging, felt a touch stand offish although not rude.
Dog friendly outside which has a covered section aswell as open. Nice views of the countryside/small pond. Would go again if I lived closer.

Saw this place on the latest series of The Hairy Bikers and that is always a good recommendation of eateries to visit. Really nice farm shop and we buy a few goodies. We also ate lunch and after a short wait, a table was found for our large group. It was busy, with a little queue for tables, but staff kept on top of turning tables around quickly. My husband and I shared the cheese platter, salmon quiche and a side of wedges. One child had a small mushroom soup with a cheese sandwich with the other having the kids macaroni cheese. All food was delicious with good portions and I treated myself to a takeaway portion of the cheesecake as too full for dessert but wanted to try it. I was also very happy to spot a Chai Latte on the menu so enjoyed that and it was perfectly spiced. Very pleased we queued for our food!

What a wonderfully wonderful place, with an amazing warm, cheerful welcome from staff, very informative and helpful. Fantastic choice of produce, gifts and to top off a scrumshus cafe of delights. Over spent, but worth every penny. We will be making thus trip over the border a lot more. Highly recommend. Its a very special place in all that they do and achieve.

The quality of the food here is absolutely outstanding. A brilliant range of food and drink options for all, including children.
There is a simple form to fill in for Covid-19 tracing purposes, plentiful space indoors plus a walled gazebo space outside too. If the weather is warm enough, there are plenty of benches and picnic benches to enjoy the well maintained grounds.
Now, back to the food. You can really tell that a lot of thought and feeling has been put into the menu combinations – all of which are made/produced locally at the farm. We’ll most definitely be back and would recommend a stop off if you’re in the area. It’s also well worth travelling for. Honestly, seriously…you must.

We had a light lunch. The food is home made, simple but tasty. Nice to eat some truly home made food. The welcome we received was second to none, every member of staff was polite, friendly and helpful.

We went here as a group of 40 on a sad occasion. The staff couldn’t have been better! They went out of their way to provide the highest standard of their farm’s bread, cheeses, charcuterie and cakes. Truly excellent homemade quality and it included a variety of gluten-free items.
The shop is filled with high quality organic food and drinks as well as wellness products & great crafts, many made at Loch Arthur. It is a social enterprise, a community of around 80 people including 28 with learning disabilities. All work together, using different skills which are considered to be the same job level, as they recognise everyone’s interdependence.
Highly recommended for a meal, household and gift shopping, or just a nice cup of tea in beautiful surroundings.
