Having been 4 times in 6 weeks on a Sunday for the wee breakie each time there has been a problem with the order I understand they employ young staff but perhaps better training in taking orders and customer service service is slow food comes out at diff times I like to support local and have in the past recommended this place but no more when I addressed with the manageress she could not have cared less when I said To her have been here 4 times in 6 weeks she said I don?t recognise you as if accusing of lying then I explained order wrong again for example allergic to tomatoes and each time come out ! When said toast always cold drinks cold orders not right when I explained but young waitress what she said manageress tripped herself up by reconfirming what I had asked for when you go in as a couple you should be able to eat out food st same time !!!this normal practice breakfast is not cheap having now spoken to a lot of other locals they are all off same opinion. If you are going to employ young staff train properly read back orders etc and the old fashioned rule customer is always right would not go wrong in addressing not even offered a refund won?t be back but then as manageress said did not recognise to be fair young staff did so its one star from me and won?t be back

Terrible, 22 minutes to be served. Said last time that wouldn?t be back due to cheep child labour who are a joke . Every bill is wrong so check what you have been charged. Spoke to senior waitress and explained that issue was no staff

Great coffee and lovely tea as well. The service by the young guy at the counter was spot on, friendly and very efficient. Thank you, good coffee and friendly service isnt easy to find these days , so thank you for exceeding our expectations.

Had a couple of lovely lunches here! Food is really nice but the highlight is definitely the gorgeous wee donkey who loves a cuddle. Sat outdoors both times as we had our dog with us, would definitely benefit from some kind of outdoor heating as it was pretty freezing! There?s a path to the beach just out the back too and a small play park. Prices were very reasonable too.

Mostly good. Few things worth looking at.When ordering staff were made aware of allergies yet gave milk for tea, which was an allergen. This could have been dangerous.Dog ice cream stored with human ice cream caused easy confusion.Staff were mostly friendly, so we would come back, but these little things could cause big issues.

Really, really disappointed with our visit this time around. Let?s start with the shop- it?s been condensed considerably and not for the better. A lot of the stock has been for sale for many years and is past its best. We used to love a potter around the gifts and nearly always bought while we were in. The lunch was very poor. There seemed to be a lack of good quality ingredients and they are using cheaper variations. I do know that it changed hands a few years ago but it was better quality when we last visited. They forgot the add on soup- and never came near us after we were served our toastie and baked potato, despite there being plenty of staff. What we were served was nothing special, which is such a shame as we used to love our visits to here. I explained, when we paid that I didn?t get my soup however, nothing was said, no apology whatsoever. On our way out we popped through to see what was for sale in the ?garden centre? but it was distinctly lacking. There was nothing but a few pots and some crumpled plants. Really very upsetting to be honest it was such a thriving wee business and it?s been allowed to decline dramatically . Wouldn?t be surprised if it?s doors are closed when we are next in the area. I really hope that they try to inject something back into the business and it doesn?t just disappear. I will keep my fingers crossed.

Discoved Trae bakes when we had a 5 day break in Asselfoot. Well what can I say. The place is amazing. Brillant menu and the cakes are out of this world. Friendlier and more helpful staff you will not meet anywhere. The gift shop is superb and the plants we saw looked gorgeous. Very disabled friendly. Can't wait to be back.

We had preordered an Afternoon tea for two and were not disappointed. Started with a lovely cup of home made soup followed by freshly made sandwiches, quiche, sausage roll, Cream scones and gorgeous homemade meringues. We couldn?t finish all our other goodies which we took home. Good service and no hassle. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Called in for lunch, lot's of gift ideas, my friend and I wanted something to brighten up the garden, but nothing in the way of plants at all. Lunch was good, soup delicious, sandwiches a little bland. Just normal sliced loaf which you can get at home

We enjoyed a lovely coffee with great views across to Ailsa Craig. We were made so welcome even though it was nearly the end of the day. The food looks great too! Plus there's a shop with a lovely selection of gifts, as well as the garden centre to visit. Thank you!

Lovely Garden Centre. A good choice of food. Excellent coffee and drinking chocolate. Staff very friendly and would go the extra mile. Prices reasonable. A good place to stop off either on the way to or from the ferry to N.ire from Cairnryan.

My first time here was just a stop by to get some dinner & a snack before heading home. I didn't see the garden centre or any of the grounds, but the food was excellent and very reasonably priced, staff were very pleasant also. I'd like to come back for a better look round when the weather 8s better.
