2nd time coming here with my partner. Stunning location & views are great & staff are polite & friendly. Food in my opinion is over priced for what you get but overall very nice place.

It's a great cafe in a gorgeous location. It's right on the waters edge and has outside seating also on the waters edge with no fence, I wonder if the servers ever fall in! The views are fabulous. The menu is quite large and includes vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. The prices are reasonable and the food was delicious, especially the chocolate cake 😋. The service was fast and friendly. It is a popular place and there was a small queue, but I only waited around 5 minutes. Definitely worth the wait. There is a car park by the main road but then you have to walk around 5 minutes to the cafe. There is a path right round the lake which is around 2 miles, so great for a walk with the dogs, then a coffee and a snack, the cafe is pet friendly.

Nice spot for a coffee or some lunch overlooking the water at the dam. Food looked quite good we just had a drink and a dog snack. They were very busy and there was quite a wait to be served and for drinks to come out.

Stunning place!! I don’t write many reviews but I thought I had to share how great this place is. The food and drinks we had were spot on, reasonably priced and the staff were super friendly. We’ll definitely be calling in again soon.

A Quick Stop at The Boathouse with A Mixed Experience! On a recent visit to Newmillerdam, we decided to stop by The Boathouse for a quick drink and some cake. The location of the establishment is certainly one of its biggest draws – situated right by the dam, it offers stunning views of the surrounding scenery. Upon arrival, we found the staff to be a bit rushed off their feet, understandably so as the sun was shining and the place was bustling with visitors. Despite this, they were still friendly and took our order efficiently. The drinks we ordered were tasty and hit the spot, but if I had one critique, it would be that they could have been a tad colder, as a warm Milkshake doesn’t go down that well. The cake selection looked delicious, and our choices did not disappoint. They were well-presented and satisfyingly indulgent, making for a pleasant treat during our outing. What truly makes The Boathouse Newmillerdam a great place to visit is its perfect positioning. With the dam right outside and picturesque views all around, it's an ideal spot to relax and take in the natural beauty of the area. Whether you're looking for a quick refreshment or a longer stay to soak in the beautiful views, the Boathouse Newmillerdam provides a delightful experience. Just be prepared for a bustling atmosphere and maybe a slight wait on a sunny day.
