I just wanted to say how lovely this little place is ❤️ we've been for breakfast and for lunch now and can highly recommend the food here, cooked to perfection with clearly high quality produce. We love how welcoming it is at The Courtside Cafe, the team are so friendly and clearly care very much about providing excellent service. The cafe is so nicely done, with a lot of thought clearly having been put into atmosphere and decor too. Again, it really reflects a happy and caring team. We keep saying to each other how it is so lovely to have a really GOOD cafe in our local area! Love the atmosphere, the setting, the food, everything! Keep going guys!

Managed to find this little gem on the way to conkers. What an amazing little find. Staff are great & friendly and the breakfasts are amazing. The taste is unreal. Can honestly say it was the best breakfast we've ever had. Lovely setting too. Thank you

Nestled in a charming spot that feels a world away, Courtside Café is more than just a place to grab breakfast; it’s a culinary experience with an irresistible twist. Helmed by a French-trained chef who elevates British staples with skill and flair, this is where you’ll find an English breakfast that’s head and shoulders above anything else for miles. Imagine: perfectly crispy bacon, eggs with a yolk that practically glows, succulent sausages, tomatoes that taste like they’ve basked in the sun, and – here’s the real showstopper – fried bread. Yes, fried bread, that elusive marvel of the past, cooked to golden, crispy perfection. It’s a bite of nostalgia with a dash of indulgence, and worth the trip alone. The prices are refreshingly fair, a rarity these days when anything ‘artisan’ can often mean a double-digit bill. Here, you’re getting top-notch quality and a level of finesse that feels like a gift, considering the price. This café’s value is truly hard to beat. Then there’s the atmosphere. Decorated in tasteful Farrow & Ball hues, the café has both inside and outdoor seating, each space as inviting as the next. Indoors, the muted tones add a calm elegance; outdoors, the setting makes you feel like you’re part of a hidden gem. And the vibe? It’s bustling yet relaxed, with the warm hum of locals who’ve also caught on to this rare find. Of course, no good breakfast spot could call itself complete without a solid coffee game, and Courtside Café doesn’t disappoint. Bean-to-cup, strong, and smooth, it’s a coffee made to be savoured rather than rushed. The cherry on top, though, is the service. The staff here know what they’re doing, delivering a genuine warmth and attentiveness that makes you feel like you’re visiting an old friend. They’re charming, efficient, and clearly proud to work in a place that takes both food and hospitality seriously. Courtside Café isn’t just breakfast; it’s a proper British institution – complete with fried bread and everything.

Great little cafe. Great food. Great atmosphere and lovely owners / staff. Would recommend to the locals and it's my first place to go when I need time out away from work. Ideal as it's 2 minutes drive away. And they are more than accommodating with my disability as I have mobility issues and use a crutch to walk with.

I went to The Butty Box looking for a late breakfast, and even though I arrived super late with only 5 minutes to spare, the owner was incredibly welcoming and happy to serve me. The food was great quality, and the prices were very reasonable. I’ll definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty, affordable meal! 💕

Just enjoyed a fabulous giant baguette filled breakfast here. 😋 The food and drinks were served lovely and hot! There's not many snack vans with a small marquee to sit in out of the rain, so this deserves 5 stars! This place is a stone throw from Cricketts Inn pub on the A444, and definitely worth a visit, as the chaps that run it are very friendly! 👍 See you again soon! Nigel and Claire 😊

Went for afternoon tea for my partners birthday! What an experience. The lovely people running the tea room were so kind and accommodating. There were a lot of us and they were so good at making sure each of us had everything we needed. The afternoon tea was so delicious! There was so much food and they let us take it home too! I will be eating cake for tea for a week lol!! Definitely 5 stars and can’t recommend it enough! Will certainly be coming back for their delicious looking breakfast next time!

Bluebells hosted my baby shower, I already knew the place was amazing as we’ve been several times. The food is gorgeous, the staff are super friendly and the owners (I’m so sorry I don’t know your names) are clearly so passionate about what they do. They went above and beyond and by far exceeded expectations, everyone said how incredible the food was, especially the person who has a gluten allergy, she sometimes feels she misses out by not being able to eat gluten but said she was thoroughly spoilt here with the quality of taste of the food. Having the tearooms to ourselves was so special and meant we weren’t worried about disturbing anybody. They provided lots of lovely decorations and helped make it so special. Also been here lots of breakfast/lunch and one of the events that they do and I couldn’t recommend it enough.

Wonderful brunch at the Cowshed. Beautiful rooms in the countryside. Delicious food and the cakes look great. Very busy, but they seem to be coping without too much delay. Update: Service was much faster on our last 2 visits, they seem to have improved a lot.

Went for lunch. The cafe was busy but managed to get a table for 3 of us. Lovely views infront of the glass floor to ceiling windows of the surrounding area. Prices are quite high, however this outweighed by the quality and selection of the food. I had quiche of the day which came with a plate full off salad and pasta with a door wedge size of quiche. Well worth the money! Good selection of drinks available with a promot service. The selection of cakes are definitely tempting as well. Will definitely pay another visit l.

It was a very nice place to visit , dog friendly. Food as you can see by pictures, food was a real treat, service very good. I have to add the cakes to die for. Great outdoor seating area plus nice cosy inside restaurant area. Would recommend a visit, pricing reasonable. Cowshed as you can see, we very much enjoyed our visit with the family. Keep up the good work thanks M&J

What a fab place for lunch. Obviously, they can be very busy. Fortunately we went for a late lunch around 1:30-1:45 and got seated in the conservatory which had a nice view out into the garden and included a big heater to keep the place warm. The staff were lovely and very helpful giving clear guidance on how to order and what's on the menu. The decaf tea was well presented, a good quantity and hot. The quiche meals were of very generous portions, with a good measure of mixed salad. There was a wide selection of cakes. The cornflake tart caught my eye and when it came it was a generous portion. I can recommend it! We moved into the main seating area after a short time as it was quite cool in the conservatory for us. The big heater couldn’t quite cope with the outside sliding doors opening for customers coming and going. The main seating area was a better area to sit, and was a good bit warmer. It was good to see the staff set to cleaning the tables and floors after customers had left. There are a couple of toilets on the ground floor, both clean and tidy with good facilities. The couple of things that would have made our experience even better was. 1. Fix the sliding outside door and stop it being left open or sliding open. On a cold day it is noticeable. 2. Both of our quiche meals were only just warm. They would have been much nicer a lot hotter. Overall, the staff were excellent, the food very good and the place was clean and tidy. Prices were a little more then we would have paid else where. There appears to be two car parks. We parked in the one off the main road and ended walking along it just around the corner to find the closer carpark and the entrance. We will definitely go again, perhaps when the weather improves or ask for a seat inside the main café.

Caroline and her team assisted with hosting my sister's baby shower and afternoon tea. It was a fabulous afternoon, hired privately, the food was fantastic and a lovely venue in the heart of Swadlincote. Caroline was helpful before and during the event and was very efficient in her communications. I would highly recommend.

We weren't too sure where to have a bite to eat, as it was the first time we'd visited Swadlincote. After looking around the shops, we happened to find Sweet Caroline's, as they had gluten free options available. It didn't take us long to be seated and the menu had quite a few options. The staff were very friendly and took out order swiftly. The wait wasn't too long and we were very impressed! I particularly enjoyed the panini and crisps I had, although I can't quite remember what it was (has brie in it!) Whatever it was, it was superb and hit the spot nicely! Was great alongside my ruby hot chocolate, which I'd never had until then but will definitely be having it again! Stop by this place, if ever you're feeling peckish in Swad!

Stayed 2 nights, mid-Feb, 1 adult, 2 young children. Very warm welcome on arrival and efficient check-in. The hostel is modern, clean and well-positioned for a number of local attractions. The room was compact but clean and very warm at night, thankfully! Slight downside was the noise and timing of the bathroom fan: whilst obviously necessary, it was very loud for late night or early morning use and seemed to stay on for ages. Other than that, great little room and very clean. Informative displays on the corridors about the hostel's history and its role in the National Forest itself. We used the self-catering facilities for all of our meals. This kitchen is very well equipped (lots of fridge space and plenty of all the necessaries). Would love to revisit in the summer months so kids can play outside, we can make use of more of the external facilities and enjoy more of the local scenery. Spent a day at Conkers too: couldn't recommend it enough. Excellent value for money and kept us all engrossed for over 6 hours! Back to the hostel (hopefully), was a very pleasant, short break - well worth a visit if you're looking to explore the National Forest. Thank you for a great stay.

Friendly staff and well stocked bar. Great food and kitchen, good sitting areas outside and inside, plenty of space for little ones to run about. Short walk to country walks and over to conkers is very close. Great location to explore. Rooms are cosy and warm, however the showers are possibly the best in summer as they have not been designed well enough and could do with some updating.

We had exclusive hire and hosted our wedding party here. We had the best weekend! The communal space was great, the rooms were clean and tidy and the grounds were beautiful. The doors open onto the patio area and so the space flowed really well. The hostel staff were great at communicating and answering our many questions in the months before. Lots of great walks nearby and it felt very secluded. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Nice place to stay. Excellent location next to a woodland with great green scenery. Dorm room (£10) was standard but comfortable with a decent but noisy bunk bed, plug sockets and lockable storage. Bathroom was fine. Facilities themselves were more than adequate; a bike locker with repair station, big self-catering facility, lots of seating indoor and out, plus the buffet breakfast (extra price) was OK and had many options. I'd stay here again!
