What visitors say
Lovely place. So relaxing. Area for little ones to play with toys and furniture. Food was lovely. Lots of space and various shaped furniture to sit or eat at. Our grandchild loved the free car mobile. In or outdoor up to you. Toilets clean and spacious. Staff lovely.

Me and my partner tried the Palm House today for the first time, as it’s pancake day today we both had the Hazelnut Happiness American Pancakes. AMAZING! Honestly the best pancakes we have ever had, they’re made from scratch in front of you and are so fresh and fluffy. They are incredibly generous with their toppings and the drizzled chocolate was delicious. We sat outside which was lovely on a sunny day as their garden overlooks the swannery. Lovely friendly staff and gorgeous food. They also have both a gluten free and vegan pancake menu, so cater for everyone. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Staff were lovely, but it did take 20 minutes to receive drinks and 45 for food in a nearly empty cafe. Wonderful secluded feeling outdoors seating area that was quiet. Food was not great, you could tell the garlic bread had been defrosted and served immediately and wrap was stale. Not a bad place to go but expensive for what it is

We had a nice hour playing in the kids' play area with our 14 month old. Lots of great toys and things to climb on interact with. The hot choc was very tasty and so was the home made choc cookies.
