"Met my friend who I hadn’t seen for a while here for coffee/tea and cakes. A few years back, this was the local place to go for an afternoon tea, but after returning, I can’t say I’m bothered if I go back. The waitress who took our order was surly and looked inconvenienced, though the restaurant was practically empty. She also commented to the person in front of me who was ordering a takeaway coffee and cake that the ‘cakes have been out all day’. I understand that they can only sell what people buy, but being told at half past three in the afternoon that your cake has been kicking about since the morning is hardly a selling point! When our orders arrived, my Rocky Road (priced at £3.60) looked as though it had been chipped off a cliff face. Yes, it was value for money, as cake portions in lots of cafés tend to be small for their price, but this looked completely unappetising before I took the first bite. One of my friends told me that Hambleton Bakery provide the cakes here and considering their local reputation, my Rocky Road was one of the worst cakes I’ve ever eaten. It was full of glacé cherries, usually the reserve of dodgy Seventies desserts and chocolate that was far too rich. I would say that the cake selection is poor for an upmarket tea room and the selection of drinks is equally limited; my friend asked if they were serving winter flavours (gingerbread, spiced pumpkin) for her latté and the same waitress cut her short and said that they don’t do them. The surroundings are pleasant and the décor is in-keeping, but it could do with minor updates here and there. Oh, and please try and do something about the flies! For about three quarters of our visit, we were swatting them away from our drinks."

The place is excellent, the staff are excellent and the food was excellent. Not much else to say, really we come here a lot and stay in the lodges and for me the customer service is superb .

The food and cakes at this restaurant are excellent! While it can be a bit expensive, the quality and preparation are top-notch. I have enjoyed breakfast here twice and Sunday lunch twice as well. I look forward to visiting again soon.

I had a fantastic Sunday dinner at this restaurant! Couldn't find any faults at all. The staff were amazing and I loved that they had a dog-friendly area. I highly recommend this place. Oh, and the fruit scones were absolutely delicious!

I met my family for lunch and ordered a jacket potato with coronation chicken. Unfortunately, the potato was rock hard and when I returned it, it came back burnt in the middle. It was a very small portion for £7 and overall, it was a horrible experience.

Went for coffee and cake. It took 10 mins for a staff member to come and greet us at the front door before telling us we could sit down anywhere. Went to order and the waitress was having a conversation with another waitress over the top of me trying to order. Waitress was very rude and abrupt and kept huffing at me. Took 10 mins for 2 coffees and cake was hard and dry. Staff looked very miserable to be there and not friendly at all

We came up for lunch yesterday for my parents wedding anniversary. A friendly member of staff greeted us at the door and showed us to our table. We didn't have to wait long for our food at all and we were certainly impressed when it did. I had The Lakes Beef Burger and it was cooked perfectly and my partner had the Gammon and he also said how much he enjoyed it. Overall we had a lovely experience and will definitely return! Great food and a beautiful location!

My daughter and I visited for the first time yesterday and will definitely be returning. The place is more like a cafe/restaurant than a tea room (that's not a criticism though), it's nicely decorated and has a lovely outdoor area. We were warmly greeted and shown to a table, and then told to go up and order when we had decided what we wanted. I had a coronation chicken sandwich and chips, and my daughter had a beefburger and chips. Both were delicious, with fresh, tasty ingredients and the chips were sooo good!
