Lovely tea rooms with friendly staff and top food! Bacon is very good quality and the cakes are very nice ! Coming back for a scone. Indoor area is very smart with lots of seating outside too.

Stopped off here with my dog this afternoon. Had a lovely cream tea and pooch had a doggy ice cream. The staff were friendly, tea room was clean and comfortable. Lovely location too right next to Tintern Abbey.

We stopped off to wave our son past on a 1000km cycle race - the staff couldn't have been nicer, more welcoming or more helpful. We only had tea (it was a baking hot day) but that was really well made - a lovely cuppa. Tintern Abbey remains on our "to visit" list, and we know exactly where we'll be going back to for refreshments when we visit!

First came here in about 2013/2014 and it was fantastic. The scones were the best I’ve ever had. Didn’t disappoint all these years later! Be sure to arrive earlier for clotted cream though! The butter was very good too though!

Had a coffee stop here after a walk around the nice village. Prices actually better than I thought given the location and constant stream of people in the village. Nice Latte, unfortunately no cream or marshmallows for the hot chocolate. Scone was ok but not much jam.
