It seems like visitor numbers may have dropped, as there was no place to have a snack and a cup of tea, although there are nearby options that are similar in price. The merchandise in the shop has not changed, with the same clothing and tourist items. It could use an update with new stock to bring some new life into it. However, the staff were friendly as always.

Unfortunately, it had closed down, but the old mill shop and museum were still there. However, the museum is only open during the winter. Despite this, the lemon sorbet ice cream was delightful and a perfect way to cool down on a sweltering day.

The sandwiches we ordered were huge, very tasty and so filling we sadly didn’t have room to sample the cake selection offered. Will have to save that treat for another visit Dogs are welcome in the cafe garden.

The Victoria sandwich cake and scones were heavenly too!
