This was a lovely tea room in a great location, perfect for a visit after a walk in the New Forest. We ordered a lavender scone each with cream and jam, a latte for me and tea for my husband. When the latte came it looked a little odd with a foamy top (no rose as the previous review mentioned!) and it didn't taste very nice. I didn't want my scone to go cold so persevered with it but it really wasn't nice so I went in to ask for a cup so I could have some of my husbands tea to take the taste away.

Food and service were exemplary — we've never had a better bacon roll before! Their cakes were just as tasty; coffee was good enough for seconds. ☕🍰
The people working there were all so friendly and sweet — we would love...
