Monkey business. 🦧Here’s how we spent 24hrs in Studland Bay / Dorset! 📍Swanage is so cute. Go to Love Cake for the best almond tart you’ve ever tried, and generously sized teapots.☕️ 📍BurnBake Campsite is a win! 🏕️ 📍Corfe Castle & the Castle Inn (all the pubs around here looked great but we settled on this one for the Sunday Roast. The ruins are incredible to see.) 📍The Sandy Sea Pig- Sandy Beach...

Reviews Summary

Brook Tea Rooms is a charming spot praised for its delicious homemade treats, particularly the scones and full English breakfasts, all enjoyed with delightful sea views. Reviewers highlight the friendly service and welcoming atmosphere. However, there are concerns about gluten-free options, with one diner reporting an adverse reaction after specific requests.

"Freshly baked and tasty snacks and meals. Coastal views from your table as you enjoy a hot meal or a cream tea. Aromatic coffees."

Jim B

"I walked from Shell Bay to Swanage last weekend and was looking for somewhere to eat. Passed a few places offering burger and chips or fish and chips but wanted something more wholesome.
Stumbled across this place and ordered a tuna mayo sandwich and an earl grey tea. Absolutely lovely, chunky and very fresh bread (it was a Sunday so that was impressive) sarnie full of delicious tuna, with a side garnish in french dressing and some crisps. Nice sized pot of tea and all for a reasonable price.
Very happy and highly recommended."

Mark Gregory
