Description

Clovedale Retreat

A warm welcome awaits you within the Clovedale Retreat Café, which has 40 covers inside with a splendid view of the main lake through our large front windows at Priory Country Park.

We have added a large area of elevated decking at the floor level with double door access from within, seating over 100 people during fine weather.

The Café has wheelchair access from a point at the rear of the building and near the car park, as well as alternative wheelchair access via a ramp onto the decking with easy access into the building through wide double doors.

Attached dog hooks and a clean water bowl are provided outside the Café for our furry friends, who are not permitted inside. We are happy to bring their orders out to their owners on the picnic benches to the front.

Most of our food is handmade and we vary our menu periodically. We serve a good range of coffees, teas and cold drinks, as well as a choice of cakes, savoury snacks and lunches. Our homemade soups are a must-try, and if you fancy a more substantial meal, check out our Chef’s daily specials. Breakfasts are available all day.

We visited today and staff and service was good. But unfortunately the bacon, brie and cranberry panini was not as good as our last visit. Not much bacon it was chopped into little pieces and didn't add any flavour. Childrens jacket potatoe was not great, not left on the skin and more bean juice than beans. Other meals ok.

A wonderful place to completely disconnect from everyday life. Cloverdale Retreat is the kind of spot you visit once and instantly want to come back to. Peace, quiet, and closeness to nature – everything here creates an atmosphere that truly lets you reset. The cabins are very well equipped – clean, comfortable, and cozy. You can tell the owners put their heart into this place. There are thoughtful little touches that make a difference – soft blankets, warm lighting, fresh-smelling bedding, and even local products in the kitchen. The surroundings are stunning – perfect for walks, morning coffee on the terrace, or evenings by the fire. We were lucky with the weather, and the night sky was incredible – we could even see the Milky Way. The service was lovely, very helpful but never intrusive – exactly how it should be. I genuinely felt like a guest who was being taken care of. If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort with nature, far from the noise of everyday life, I absolutely recommend Cloverdale Retreat. It’s perfect for a romantic getaway or some peaceful time off the grid.

Food and coffee are reasonable but service is often slow with long queues.

I ordered coffee to go. The cafe was very clean; with plenty of seating inside and out. The staff were polite and friendly. I ordered decaff coffee. It was hot and the cups were a good size. The price was also reasonable. There is plenty of parking, with disabled parking too.
