Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The allure of Isabelle's primarily lies in its outstanding selection of freshly prepared dishes. The afternoon tea receives rave reviews, featuring fresh sandwiches with delightful fillings and creative desserts like cream-filled meringues. Customers love the relaxing atmosphere and the attentive service, which makes each visit feel personal. Nothing beats enjoying a pot of freshly brewed loose-leaf tea served in fine bone china, an experience that feels both luxurious and comforting. Plus, Mel's famous scones with clotted cream and jam are simply irresistible!
Guests continually praise the warm-hearted owners and staff, who foster a sense of community that enhances every dining experience. You’ll also find gluten-free options, ensuring everyone can indulge. This makes Isabelle's not just a tearoom but a beloved staple of the Heswall food scene.
Most Disliked
Occasionally, guests mention that the tearoom can become quite busy, especially during peak hours, which might lead to a longer wait for service. While the atmosphere is generally warm and inviting, a few patrons have experienced delays during rush times, particularly at lunchtime. It’s essential to make a reservation if you want to guarantee a spot during those hours.
Some visitors have found that the outdoor seating could be limited during inclement weather, which may be disappointing for those looking to enjoy al fresco dining. Although the indoor atmosphere is cozy, it can feel cramped when the tearoom is at full capacity. This isn’t a dealbreaker but something to keep in mind for a seamless experience.

Fantastic afternoon tea. Had a voucher for Christmas for luxury afternoon tea. Sandwiches really fresh with delicious ingredients. Nice fillings choices. Different as no cake as such. A cream filled meringue with hot toffee sauce and a piece of tiffin and a scone each. Very tasty and different

By far the best place to go in Heswall if you're looking for freshly prepared & tasty brunch and lunch options. Owners and staff are lovely, warm, kind hearted people who always make everyone feel very welcome. Personally, I love that they serve a pot of freshly brewed tea with tea leaves, strainer and milk in fine bone china. The tuna sandwiches are to die for, as are the fresh cakes and scones.....Hands down, the best place in Heswall...👏 👍 💕

We had a lovely afternoon at Isabelle’s having afternoon tea. They accommodated us with a same day booking (should be at least 24 hours) & we got all of the afternoon tea menu. Thank you for whipping up a batch of meringues, they were delicious and very much appreciated.

Came for an afternoon tea. Although it was late notice enquiring about it only a few hours before it was fantastic. Well priced, the food was brilliant and the service was second to none. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

The afternoon tea is wonderful and beautifully served, and includes a selection of delicious sandwiches, cakes and scones with jam and cream, and lovely loose leaf tea. The place is immaculately clean and very tastefully decorated - with the most beautiful chandeliers! Thank you all, and I look forward to my next visit.
