We stopped on the way back from Plymouth, found the food to be great, and staff very pleasant.

We always look forward to breaking our journey down to Cornwall here, half way - and then again on our return journey if it coincides with opening hours! There's plenty of parking, & our dogs love it as they can stretch their legs in the adjoining field at the back. And we also love it because of the delicious home made crab sandwiches, & generous scone tea etc. You can eat indoors or out, & there are really spacious and cleanly loos. This is hard work for the lady who keeps this Devonian 'pocket of excellence' afloat, who's not into small talk but focuses on providing an excellent service! We send her our Best Wishes for 2025, Hazel & Iain (from Hampton Court, Surrey)

We have made a conscious decision for years, to drop in to this cafe on our trips to Cornwall in preference to the chain ran places. We have a dog and sit outside, usually go for a bacon sandwich served with crisps and leaves with coffee. It's a family run affair, always good food and good service. Cafe and loos clean. I understand the comments about the 'rude' lady, but I don't find her rude, she's just not the sort that pulls fake smiles at everyone. I love characters personally. Would always prefer a place like this than a Costa Bucks etc..

We have stopped at Oaklands Farm on many occasions - always welcoming and great facilities - spotlessly clean - Dog exercise area - cracking sandwiches - particularly the crab! Makes a break in the Cornwall journey something to look forward to.

Found this place by accident travelling home from a holiday in Cornwall. The choice of food & drink was amazing. We had 2 breakfasts & 2 omelette & chips, which was good to a fantastic standard. Definitely will be visiting again on our next trip to Cornwall.

Good home cooked food, great all day breakfast, fresh crab sandwich and nice cakes. Quiet location, plenty of inside and outside seating. Friendly service.

We had a lovely visit and a delicious warm cream tea in a perfect location on our drive down to salcombe, the lady who was serving us was lovely. We had read the negative reviews before we came to visit, the reviews on Google and trip advisor were so opposite of our experience and would not be surprised to find out some were malicious (maybe written by a competitor). Couldn’t recommend this place, as a lovely pit stop on a long drive!
