The Unofficial Garden Inspectors Committee said
If you enjoy strolling around other peoples gardens but are worried they might call the police then visit Kailzie because it IS someones garden and you ARE allowed to walk around it, providing you pay a scone-lobbingly unfair price of £2.50pp
What is the highlight of a walk in the fresh air? Returning to warmth for some nice friendly banter, good coffee and maybe a bun? Yes?, well forget this cafe, the atmosphere is about as warm as a cold day in the antartic.
PROS:
Cake choice and taste is acceptable
Toilets function
CONS:
Price
Slow cafe service
Seriously small size of the garden itself
OTHERS THOUGHTS: Pleasant but way too small and overpriced. Don't even think about making it the centre of your day out despite any pamphlets that you may be ambushed with.(1.0/5)
