A friend introduced me to this place and I've never stopped going back. Think of the quintessential…read moreEnglish Tea Room, put it next to a small beck in the middle of the English countryside, with a garden overlooking the Somerset Levels, with Glastonbury Tor on the horizon. Add some locally sourced organic food, and a proprietor that caters for dietary requirements AND an art gallery and you'll get close to Annie's Tea Rooms. Probably the best Banoffee Pie I've ever tasted, not to mention the salmon and pasta; oh and the ice cream. This a place where you can wake up and smell the coffee and STILL be in the same place!

My husband and I stumbled across this darling little place while out "rambling" in the New Forest…read morelast weekend. It's an old railway station and the walls are filled with old vintage railway paraphernalia; everything that accounts for it being "cute" and "quaint". The food is very good. We only got some baguettes and chips so nothing ground breaking (hence the 4 stars) but it certainly hit the spot after wandering around in the fresh air of the forest. I highly recommend the Twice-Cooked Sleeper Chips. They're fantastic! My husband had a cappuccino and he gave it a thumbs up (I don't drink coffee so you'll have to take his word for it). We also got some carrot cake and a piece of Millionaire's Shortbread to-go. We ate them later that afternoon and again: delicious! I suggest going and maybe trying something more interesting than the egg mayo baguette I ordered. While very tasty, they've got loads of other delicious sounding dishes on the menu such as gourmet burgers, free range omelettes and full English breakfasts. My whole family is coming over next year to visit the UK and my husband and I soundly decided that we will be bringing them out to the Station House so they can enjoy a truly English dining experience out in the very picturesque New Forest.

They offer a wide variety of GLUTEN FREE options for both meals and baked goods. And everything (with or without gluten) was phenomenal! The staff/owners went above and beyond to accommodate my daughter to the point it brought a tear to my eye. They genuinely made us all feel very welcome and treated us as if we were valued family. The outdoor garden space is so peaceful and beautiful. A must stop for everyone!

Feel free to wander round the delightful well laid out garden. Sit and enjoy the beautiful bouquet from the roses. Dedicated team of gardeners. Top off your visit with a cream tea, scone jam and cream, with a pot of tea or a very naughty slice of chocolate cake. Very friendly staff and good facilites for those with mobility issues. Plenty of free parking.

Braxton Gardens: Bonus to find the tea-shop but not the garden. We headed for the Braxton Garden…read morerather than looking for a tea-shop, but a bonus to find one as the garden really isn't really ready for much, but it's a work in progress. We had a pot of Assam tea and scones with jam and butter, all very nice with jams and scones being home-made. We sat outside as it was sunny but the indoors part look very nice and there was an art exhibition on.

Best tea service ever! The price was decent and the food was yummy. I have to admit their cake was…read moredry but their scones were delicious. The service was very slow and it seemed like they needed some more more employees but it is what it is. I would go back a million times! I love the ambience and the lighting was wonderful. The elderflower sparkly soda was amazing, too. Drop in before or after you go to the fashion museum and it is perfect since they are only a few feet away!

The owners, Nicky and Pete are simply lovely, they can't do enough for you and make a mean breakfast! They have a lovely, old red setter called Bertie, who deserved a lot of my fussing over! The room was quaint and old fashioned in the nicest sense, with a comfy bed, wardrobe and t.v, plus gorgeous views looking onto the garden. It holds a large on-suite, with a huge bath but my only complaint is the shower didn't work too well, the temperature of the water couldn't make up its mind and kept switching from hot to cold, forgot to mention it to them though. This place is perfect for Ramblers, a short distance from the centre of Wareham and Poole. I recommend!
