Best cream tea we have experienced in Purbeck peninsula. Great atmosphere, generous amounts of clotted cream and jam. Helpful staff.

What a lovely place hidden away in the countryside, it was such a lovely experience we came back 2 months later.(we travelled from Bristol) Home-made sandwiches, cakes, quiche, and scones but no chips. Lots of local tea's for sale to take away. You can eat inside a converted barn where the atmosphere is very warming, or you can eat outside in the courtyard which is a must when the sun is shining and be entertained by the swallows and housemartins going about their daily business. The service is good. However, be patient at busy times as this is a small family run affair and doesn't employ lot's of staff.

My mum & I stayed here 11th -13th of July. We had an absolutely fantastic stay. I stayed in the Shepherds hut. It was just lovely. Had a great sleep. Was so comfortable and had everything I could need for the stay. Great bed and all the extras like tea and coffee right in my hut. Shower was close and warm. Beautiful setting on the farm. Clean & well cared for. Cannot wait to stay again. Definitely coming back. Studland & the Manor Farm is a slice of heaven!

A lovely farm team restaurant run by a family. They were so welcoming and loving. The scone and clotted cream was yum, also freshly baked cake was delicious.

A very cosy tea room with outdoor seating space. Both plain and cheese scones tasted very good and the clotted cream was amazing. Perfect spot for a break after walking to the Old Harry Rock.

Located in the farm buildings and courtyard this cafe has a great country vibe. The cafe has a good selection of home made cakes which are excellent. Usual tea, coffee, etc drink options. And there's cream teas with locally sourced clotted cream. Lovely friendly service

Much appreciated peaceful break for afternoon refreshments after a long walk on a sunny day. A tucked away gem on the edge of Studland. Great scones! Made us feel very welcome and a big thank you to the staff for putting us on the right foot path back to Swanage.
