Had the pleasure of visiting 'The Old Yard ' recently and that 's exactly what it was... 'A Pleasure '!! There 's an old saying 'If you 're going to do something, then do it right '!!!! Beautiful old restored farmyard housing individual units selling a range of antiques, bric-a-brac and gifts! A gorgeous coffee house with delightful cakes, scones and 'big ' mugs of tea or coffee with free refills. However, most resonant was the staff.... so pleasant, chatty, well presented, friendly and well trained!! The owners themselves were ever present, working hard and friendly!! Ralph was an added bonus . Well done all involved!! PS. What about adding a soup and small range of sandwiches to the menu???
