We only stopped for a drink but what a lovely welcome. Idealic spot to stop for a bite to eat or a drink. Dog friendly and they serve puppychino?s and ?ham bags? The staff were so welcoming.

Stopped by here for coffee & cake this afternoon, and it was lovely. Can't fault our visit at all. Service was quick, attentive, and friendly. Coffee was delicious, as was the cake. We had parkin and an apple and cinnamon flapjack. Perfect for this time of year! The cafe was clean, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Overall, a nice experience. Will definitely be returning as i want to try more on the menu! It's nice to see a small business doing so well for itself! 5 stars ?

This is a little gem I the middle of a beautiful Country Park. We've visited several times and enjoyed great coffee, sandwiches and cakes. What makes this place exceptional is the staff. They are all pleasant and helpful, but I want to mention a lady who has served us a couple of times, yesterday 29th July was one of those times. I'm sorry I didn't ask her name, she is brilliant, totally understands what hospitality should be. Best service we've had anywhere in a long, long time.

Gorgeous little spot at Newmillerdam. Went for breakfast, had toast and a smoothie and was absolutely gorgeous. Great selection of coffees and drinks too. The kind of place you could spend most of the day. Lucky enough to get a table on the terrace overlooking Newmillerdam. Had my little girl with me too and she was well looked after. All the staff were lovely and accommodating. If I had to be super picky there isn't really a good space for baby changing (more something to be mindful of than a criticism). Will definitely be going back over the summer. I didn't have a cake this time but they looked incredible too!

I recently visited with my pup and we were both welcomed with smiles. We were shown to the terrace which overlooks the dam, and the views are absolutely stunning - such an amazing spot for a cafe! The menu was full of lovely light, fresh options and I had a delicious antipasto sandwich - 10/10. I also treated myself to a glass of fizz but I know the coffee here is also really good. All in all, a gorgeous place with lovely staff, fab service and delicious food - what more could you want!

Went for coffee today with our sin who has additional needs. Staff were lovely, kind and understanding about disability issues. The coffee was delicious and we will definately go back to sample the food next time.

We quite literally stumbled upon the Boathouse a couple of months ago while we were walking our dogs round the reservoir. Having only recently moved to the area we knew nothing about it and actually had to scrape a few quid together for a welcome cuppa. We were impressed by the friendly service and we knew we'd be back. When some friends visited last month we went for lunch. Nice quirky decor upstairs, very dog friendly, and a nice selection on the menu. We went for a lovely grazing platter to share with a selection of meats and cheeses, a New Yorker sandwich and a delicious ploughman's sandwich. Very nicely served with wine, beer and a coffee for me as the designated driver. Service was prompt and friendly and overall a highly recommended spot overlooking the picturesque reservoir. Lovely!

Called here for a bite to eat after walking round new millerdam. First of all it is so pretty and lovely and very welcoming. We had toasties, kids had milkshake and me and my friend thought we would treat ourselves to a Prosecco. The toasties were nice, although could have been a bit better presented for the price, salad and coleslaw would be nice with it as they aren?t cheap. The Prosecco is £5.50 a glass and literally we got half of a glass each. I mentioned to the waitress that they needed topping up as were only half full but she didn?t really acknowledge me. I don?t mind paying a bit over the odds but would at least expect a full glass! The kids did enjoy their milkshake.. Overall we enjoyed the visit but feel it was expensive for what it was? with a few tweaks this place could?ve been better

Called here twice in one week(once for food and once for drinks only), not having been to Newmillerdam for a long while. It was a morning walk so thought we would call in for a bacon sandwich or similar. Low and behold no such thing on the menu. Not sure why...maybe the size of the kitchen or possibly a fire risk for the isolated building. The only hot food I recall were the toasties of which there was a good selection. There were other breakfast selections but in the end we chose sandwiches in the end. Both sandwiches were on thick granary bread with a little side salad. Both were tasty and coffees were decent. Service was good and staff friendly. Will call again

I was excited to see two gluten free cakes listed on the board, however when I asked a member of staff if they were suitable for coeliacs she warned me that the cakes have a may contain gluten warning on. This is misleading so although I'm grateful to this member of staff for their allergy understanding and awareness, I'm concerned that another gluten free person may assume the cakes are safe and then become ill. It would be great if this cafe can provide gluten free cakes that are suitable for people with coeliac disease, in addition to gluten free lunch options such as sandwiches as I had to watch my family eat as there was nothing safe for me to have. There is a good variety of nice drinks, and great options for dogs with puppuccinos and dog doughnuts and biscuits.

Popped in for a quick coffee with 2 kids . Whilst the waitress was really friendly and efficient, the price of the extras with the cake were shockingly expensive. I know prices have increased but to charge an extra £2.50 for a blob of ice cream each is not on . Also 70p for caramel in the coffee , There were no prices quoted either or we wouldn?t have gone for it . It was nice cake though but far too expensive. Put some cheaper options on please

Came as a family at half term a table of 7, the table was over run with pots,so as we sat down asked the waitress nicely if she could clear them and wipe the table,her attitude was rude,she told us we would have to wait,until she was ready, in a haughty manner,she never came to clear the table so asked another waitress,who was very nice and cleared the table,blonde and sweet she was,the food was really spot on,went to pay and the waitress took our payment her name was Heidi as it popped up on the screen,im afraid we would never come her again,as her attitude was rude,and too superior,not very welcoming at all.

Called for a coffee on my walk, what a lovely, friendly greeting I received from all the staff. The coffee is Darkwoods and my Americano was hot, flavoursome and delicious. My friend and I visit Newmillerdam most weekends and this will now be the place to call for our coffee and toast instead of one of the other Lakeside cafe near by. Would highly recommend.
