"I visited this wonderful cafe and the owner was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our experience so much that we returned a few days later. The cafe is very welcoming to dogs, offering treats and fresh water. The selection of cakes was impressive, all made fresh and homemade. We will definitely be returning when we are in the area again."

The food is remarkably delicious especially the gluten free baking. The chef/owner /waiter is absolutely charming and very friendly and helpful, although pretty busy!

Visited at 4 pm at the end of a walk through Gunnerside Gill. Very welcome tea and lovely selection of cakes even this close to closing time. Unlimited tea refills (with new tea bags obviously). Friendly proprietor who chatted about the village and his late night baking. WiFi free and clean loo upstairs.

It's an OK place to sit and have short rest but nothing more. The ice cream was below average and the coffee others liked it was just a bit better as the English average. It helps if the sun is out The owner ? is a bit grumpy but generally likable and you shouldn't expect him to ask for your orders at the table just go inside and place the order.

"We arrived frazzled because we drove around the grounds in the dark not knowing where to go. The signage inside the grounds is no help at all. Allow time for this if you haven't been before. Fortunately we had because we wanted a pre dinner drink in the bar before we ate. Even when we did arrive we weren't sure if we had arrived at the back entrance because we stood for ages with no welcome or acknowledgement. A very disappointing start to our evening. When someone did come they didn't take our coats. We went through to the snug for a drink. They gave us menus and went away. Later came back for our order. We got our drinks and ordered our food. Then very quickly afterwards we were asked to go through to the restaurant. We had only had a couple of sips of our drinks and it was still prior to the time we had actually booked our table for (7.30pm). We felt rushed. The food came and was fabulous. I had the beetroot starter which had beautifully cooked beetroots and some pickles. It also had a grain through it. I couldn't remember what the grain was so asked a member of staff. She didn't know so went away to ask and came back saying it was probably buckwheat....probably! My main was pork belly with parsnip and an apple reduction. The pork could have been cooked a little longer. I think belly needs to be very well cooked until really soft. The top skin was impossible to cut through as it was not crisp, I couldn't eat it. A steak knife would have helped. Having said that it was still a good dish which could have been excellent. We had sides of mashed potato and greens with pickles both superb. The presentation of both dishes was innovative and inviting. Portion size was good too not tiny portions of fiddled with food which I much prefer. The service was not as polished as the food. There was no obvious manager and we had different servers which is never quite as good as one for the entire meal. The servers were scruffy not appropriate for such a lovely building. Overall it was OK but could have been superb with more attention to some details. Service: 2 Location: 3"
