Stourhead (National Trust) - Wiltshire


It’s been ages since we last went for coffee and cake! We tend to avoid most places over the summer due to them being busy and full of kids so hopefully now autumn is on it’s way we’ll be getting out and about a bit more.

We went to Stourhead on Sunday for coffee and cake as it’s one of our favourite National Trust places for food. When we arrived there was the usual good selection of cakes on display although my husband was a bit disappointed that there was no carrot cake.

I had a piece of chocolate cake and a hot chocolate and my husband had a slice of Victoria sponge and a cappuccino.

I really enjoyed my cake and the hot chocolate was nice (still no marshmallows available though) and my husband enjoyed his cake and coffee. We sat outside on one of the bench tables looking into the woodland which was nice. There weren’t many people out there so it was nice and quiet.

We had a wander around the gardens and then went back into the restaurant for another hot chocolate and coffee (we resisted the urge for more cake!).
