Cloverdale Retreat, Priory Country Park in Bedford

Went to have something to eat but they were than closing at 3pm a bit early so we had to go somewhere else

Walking, boating, wildlife, nature …. followed by a coffee and cake or light lunch - what more do you want at this café in Priory Country Park? Service with a smile from the staff at Cloverdale Retreat.Highly recommended!

Lovely place. Good food. Friendly staff. Clean and tidy. I will visit again happily.

Lovely park and cafe looked lovely too but seemed quite expensive and choice of ice cream was poor for a park. Was with young children and they didn’t want the scoop, was after their usuals like Twister and Minimilks and I would have liked to get a Magnum. Wife had a scoop and said it was tasteless. Coffee I had was lovely though.

This is a lovely place to grab a coffee or snack while walking round the lake. The staff are always super friendly to my children and the elderflower and lemon cake is amazing. With regards to prices others are complaining about. We paid £13 for a flat with a double shot 2 scoops in a tub, 2 cones and a huge slice of cake. That's reasonable to me, especially since the cake is homemade which is hard to find nowadays. Lovely staff!

Lovely place by the Marina and usually the coffee is good. We had two lovely lattes from here 6/8 weeks ago. Unfortunately today the coffee was awful, have they changed their brand recently I wonder? This applied to both normal and decaffeinated, such a shame.

A quite nice area to sit & have a tea or ice-cream near the lake Priory. Indoors or outdoors. Beautiful view, especially during bright, sunny day.

Great location in priory marina, with a large decked outdoor eating area (the inside is a bit crampt. Nice food, helpful staff & surprisingly good coffee. However the menu claims to have vegan options when it actually doesn't. They could also speed up the queue a bit by having the cakes labelled so every customer doesn't need to ask

Ok, for £7 you don't expect the earth, but the cold beans, stone cold poached egg (!) and pale flabby hash brown rendered a fair part of this breakfast inedible. Maybe they should stick to coffee and cake...

First visit dropped in for morning coffee and bacon roll 😄 very clean cafe with seating in and out with nice views our over the lake staff very friendly and welcoming and the service was quick. .... bacon roll was excellent 👍
