Had a lovely afternoon out and enjoyed the teas and cakes. Did a spot of fishing afterwards which was relaxing. Had some great tips about what was catching and where to go.

One of the most beautiful and peaceful places I like to visit. And the bonus is the cafe you can have amazing coffee or tea in a pot and enjoy the view after your long walk around the lake, the staff is very very friendly ,£2 for car park but that goes to charity and that’s only if you have change if not no one will say anything. Adding pictures of my day

We came here as a recommendation from a friend - stunning place! Amazing views, peaceful and charming. We got soup and sandwiches that were delicious (photos). Went for a 30 minute mini-hike over the mount to swim in a lake. Got a piece of cake on our way back (most had already sold out!). Super recommended. The owners are kind and friendly!

It had been a while since we’d been here and what a joy it was to return. After a walk around the lake, we were very pleased to find the cafe open and also pleased to hear they plan to stay open at weekends throughout the year. Family run, the staff are great and very friendly. Lovely selection of delicious cakes and hot drinks as well as a lunch menu. Such a beautiful spot for a sit down with views over Llyn Crafnant.

Excellent place to stop after a hike. Cafe staff was brilliant and friendly, very helpful and accommodating. I will certainly be back for a nice lunch with a lake view
