The Hayloft: Reviews & Ratings
Had the most amazing gluten free quiche I have ever eaten. It was homemade by Hannah. The pastry was perfect and the filling really tasty. It was accompanied by a delicious salad too. I'll be back!!
Excellent menu, nice and varied, clean, well maintained, nice location, excellent coffee with a choice of sizes. Dogs welcome inside in front section. Service excellent.
Been using cove park for a few years, but this trip we finally went into the hayloft... What a brilliant place. Great selection of feed and drink - the focaccia is exceptional, and great range of home made cakes - but on a sunny day sitting outside, you could convince yourself you are on the med. Will defint6be back
Friendly service, amazing food, fantastic location sat here in the sunshine .. delicious mocha with a ham and rocket croissant, I am looking forward to returning and trying the other food as it all looks as good as this croissant !
What an AMAZING Cafe this is. Stumbled across it whilst driving past and it looked so lovely and inviting we thought we’d stop by. The coffees were PERFECT, not bitter and so rich and smooth, all the baked treats are made there so had a lovely homely taste to it and the levels of service and friendliness and willing to chat and offer sight seeing pointers provided by the staff is superb. Will deffo come back here again. Well done to you all for running such a fantastic business.
Love this cafe come every year when we visit Portland to climb. Always delivers. The cakes and sandwiches are beautiful
Delightful here. The coffee is outstanding and they do a nice selection of fresh bakery items including a great Stilton quiche. This is the second time I have visited on a trip to Portland. The staff are great, the young manager especially is lovely and completely unflappable even when things got very busy during my visit and he only had one other staff member. Beautiful outdoor space for when the weather is good. Highly recommended.
Vegan options yay! And they offer almond milk- big win. Delicious coffee & lovely atmosphere- only draw back is that they are cashless.
