☕️ ARCHERS CAFE 🧁

Archers Cafe in Bolton-le-sands
This week we want to pay tribute to a favourite spot of ours. Archers cafe. It’s a warm and cosy nook down at the shore in Bolton-le-sands. We enjoyed cake and coffee and also a little walk around the vicinity. They’ve even got extra seating options outdoor/open barn area to get your beverage. There are even a few little animal pens to watch some fury favourites. Get this place in your diary you won’t be disappointed.
