What a lovely spot! Located in a quiet corner of the Coln Valley. Just a stone’s throw from Bibury but without all the chaos, this perfect little cafe has a wonderful outside seating area & a great menu! We took our coffees (super hot & delicious) to go & enjoyed exploring the village. Plus the attached village stores & post office was well equipped with local, tasty produce, local guide books & maps & a great selection of cards. A welcome break during our time exploring a beautiful village.

Stayed in the village. Visited here for a coffee on one day and then tea and sandwiches on another day. Good setting. Very welcoming. Friendly. Everything you could wish for from a village cafe. Will visit again.

We are a group of cyclists who arrived just as the cafe should have been closing. They very kindly let us order food and drinks. Thank you very much!
