Barford Icecream Garden in East Dorset

We love this place, the ice cream and garden are amazing, my son love to go and also grow ups.Sometimes it is busy (because is really good) but the queue move quickly and it really worth the wait.We really looking forward to visit them again, we can wait!

Stunning ice cream, served from a table at the front of the parlor. Lots of social distance measures so safe. The garden is really well laid out and has lots of places to sit and enjoy your ice-cream.

Delicious local ice cream.Lots of flavours available, staff are always friendly.The gardens are lovely to walk around and enjoy.Parking is a large grassed area/field. Just be mindful if it has been a wet few days.Both scoops to eat on site and tubs to take away are available.Go check out this local gem.

Carefully laid out venue for consumption of quality ice cream. Well signed and documented in tbis Covid era.Generous portions and served in quality cones. Large car park and a number of gardens with seating so you can spread yourself out.The only downside was the presence of a some free range children who were not supervised by adults.of

I visited a few month's ago before the current situation in the world. I took my 2 nieces aged 8 and 5. We had a lovely visit. The ice cream was really delicious, the staff couldn't have been more helpful and the grounds are gorgeous. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend this place.

A beautiful setting. The right sort of old-fashioned. Simple and perfect. Excellent products and very efficiently served. Wonderful shady gardens. Plenty of good parking.

Have been going there for years since it opened. The gardens are lovely and all the flavours of the ice cream makes it very difficult to choose. Our grandchildren are working their way through them. Lovely picnic area as well. What a gem!

The ice cream here is home produced and it is great. They have worked really hard to create a pretty garden in which to sit and have an ice cream and it’s a perfect place on a hot summers day. There are often a lot of families with small children playing, but if that is not your thing you can normally find a quieter spot somewhere. There are a wide range of ice cream and sorbet flavours available with some that are permanent and others that are seasonal. You can buy tubs to take home. As other reviews have said the main drawback is they are cash only. Opening is weather dependent so can be a bit of a lottery.

It's ok. The gardens are lovely, we went as a treat for my birthday with the kids. There were a number​ of passive aggressive signs around the site which made us feel very unwelcome as a family. The staff weren't friendly, and weren't nice with the children when they were asking questions.

We stopped her in s bike for an ice cream. Beautiful gardens. Bikes and dogs welcome and awesome ice cream with a large range of flavours. The cookie cream is my fave 😀
