Hidden gem is the perfect brunch spot with the most glorious views
In my ongoing quest to find the perfect brunch spot, I literally stumbled on a hidden gem during a visit to Belmont, writes Leah Collins.
Lotties, on Belmont Road, is nestled in the picturesque Pennine Moors, just outside the picturesque village of Belmont.
Lottie's of Belmont opened in 2018. (Image: Leah Collins) The café, which opened in 2018, offers delicious breakfast, brunch and lunch options, alongside an array of delicious desserts and home made sweet treats - and the most perfect view.
Inside, Lottie's features a cosy and ambient vibe, complete with twinkling fairy lights and rustic décor. Outside the windows are views of the Lancashire countryside, rolling hills and all.

The place was also bustling with people, but the service was immaculate. My order was taken and my food bought to me in the space of no more than fifteen minutes.
I ordered the Mediterranean goats cheese salad and a cherry smoothie. (Image: Leah Collins) I decided to opt for the Mediterranean vegetable and goats cheese salad, with vegetables in herb oil, tossed with a baked goats cheese, salad leaves and topped off with a balsamic glaze.
To wash down my salad, I ordered a fresh 'Cherry-poppins' fruit smoothie, which contained sour cherries, raspberry, blackcurrant, mango and bananas.
Overall my dish came to a grand total of £16.90 (the salad was priced at £10.95 and smoothie £4.95), with the price backed up by the food's quality.
For those who fancy something more substantial, Lottie's offers an array of delicious dishes, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free style options.
American style pancakes, traditional breakfasts, smashed avocado toast, French toast and eggs royale are all but some of the breakfast options.
The lunch menu also proves fruitful, offering burgers, chicken quesadilla, vegan curry, pizza style flat breads, sandwiches and wraps.
A delightful selection of cakes were also on offer. (Image: Leah Collins) After my brunch, I was tempted to try one of Lottie's homemade cakes, which looked absolutely delightful. There was cherry, blueberry, lemon and Oreo style-sponges, as well as freshly-baked scones on offer, so I was spoiled for choice.
The special coffee of the day, the iced popcorn latte, also caught my eye – so I'll definitely be back to sample that this summer!

The private hire room upstairs is also available to rent out for functions.
Overall, I was really happy with my experience at Lottie's and would definitely return for a future brunch date and enjoy the glorious views again.
It is the perfect spot to dine alone, with company and is situated in one of most beautiful parts of the region.
