Looking for somewhere to visit on a sunny day, within half an hour of Sutton Coldfield, and this lovely place was an obvious choice. Let's get the negatives out of the way first.
If you're a nervous driver and usually avoid country lanes at all costs, this isn't the place for you. Plenty of cars parked up, but I suspect quite a few were more interested in walking their dogs, or simply enjoying the many nearby walks.
Don't like seeing cakes already sliced and in plastic packaging.
OK, the positives most definitely outweigh the minuses.
Sitting outside overlooking the lake with a pot of tea and a slice of cake is almost magical. Couldn't fault the service. And Yes, we did have a stroll around the lake. Some of the Carp looked like they might be capable of dragging you in if you ventured too close. 😁
It's well worth negotiating the narrow bumpy lanes to reach this gem of a cafe. Friendly staff, and tasty breakfast. Tranquil setting, where you can relax, and enjoy the scenery.
Whitacre is a family favourite of ours. The cakes and breakfasts are excellent and there is a good selection of warm and cold drinks. The walk is lovely and well maintained, there are poo bins for dogs and also an additional fairy trail (plus others) for little ones. The cafe view is lovely, overlooking the pond with geese and fish to look at. I'm the winter the fire will be on inside to warm up after your walk.
