Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I visited on Sunday and was greeted by a fabulous atmosphere and beautiful festive decor. The cafe itself has a wonderful atmosphere full of lovely staff happy to serve you and to make sure you have a wonderful experience. It was really busy! But added...to the nice atmosphere- Our food and drinks came out quick and I was surprised how big the standard breakfast was. My friend ordered the pancakes which were huge and she struggled to finish them. The coffees looked amazing not that I tried one. I cant wait to visit again- Great value for money for such a lovely atmosphere and great food. Thank you everyone at MerkinsMore

breakfast was ok with quality ingredients but incredibly over priced and portion size didn't reflect the price.

Opted for the farmers breakfast which was delicious, and you could mix and match things if you have an allergy. The only thing I’d say, is the extra sausage is a bit strange, but all in all very yummy!! Coffee was delicious and the banana...milkshake is huge and very yummy. Well worth the visit!More

A lovely and very popular farm cafe. Staff are all so friendly and always cheerful. The food is always amazing. Not had a bad experience yet and me and my mate Tim go pretty much every weekend. It does get busy right from opening so...you have to get there early. Seating is available indoors and outside. Views across Wiltshire are good.More

10 out of 10 and a little gem…. Staff - from the moment you arrive you are treated like royalty. Everyone working is smiling, laughing, polite, smart and very attentive. Even though it was busy the atmosphere from staff was great. You all deserve a...mention. Food- well from cakes to pastries to the main event “breakfast” this is the best place around. Quality produce and really fairly priced. Hot food and lots of it too. Quick service time but freshly cooked. Drinks - the coffee must be the best we have had in ages. We will be back for sure but seriously keep up the good work you made our day yesterday…. The sausages are just DevineMore

The quality of the food seems to have gone downhill. It was my first visit since the extension and my son and I went for breakfast. The food was cooked okay but previously the breakfast had been grease free, but not this time. The bacon...and sausages were not as tasty as on previous visits. I would have thought that condiments should be on the table whilst serving breakfast instead of having to ask for sauces. I will not be going back for breakfast. I will give the benefit of the doubt for lunch.More

A great venue, overlooking farmland. A wide menu with some lovely “Specials” available. We’ve been here several times and the staff are great, very welcoming, and bend over backwards to help you and make you feel comfortable.

Stopped here on a bike ride and am so glad we decided to. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There's lot's of outside seating with amazing views. The coffee was one of the best I've had in s long time,my mate had a milkshake...and loved it. We both had cake and let's say they don't mess around on the portions size. Will definitely be going back to try more of the food and drinks.More
