Ideal for a road trip by car, motorbike or cycle. Really reminded me of places in France. The brush exhibits are interesting as well · via Google [Fr. Matthew Cashmore](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113773578544468368660/reviews) ★★★★★ GREAT place for a stop off on your way down to Devon from London. Was pulled in off the main road by the big sign advertising electric car charging and decided to hook up and stay for lunch. What a HUGE surprise. Super friendly staff and a VERY high standard of food at reasonable prices. We staid for an hour as we ate a very leisurely lunch as we explored the mini museum. Sadly the electric car charging was a little on the weak side and our hour long stop resulted in only a 1% increase in charge as these are the super small 22kw stations. A truly unique experience for a lunch stop off and charging aside we'll be back on our next trip to the South West. · via Google [Karen Smith](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114400379394979051253/reviews) ★★★★★ Spotlessly clean! Fabulous coffee! Delicious food! A restaurant also offering a takeaway service. Competitive with their prices. Highly recommend a stop here! 👌 · via Google [Rebecca Wooding](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107335004929381116331/reviews) ★★★★★ We had a great experience here previously so went back. The food was still good but very overpriced - scotch egg (standard size) with a few chips was around £15. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x4872339c8eef55d9:0x285e2bf998c7c82c!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Diners like this cafe's delicious coffee, food, and cakes, with many egg choices and gluten-free bread alternatives available.
