Dale Head Farm Tea Garden in Ryedale

Such a quaint little tearoom off the beaten track, I'm so glad we spotted all the great reviews for this place on TripAdvisor, we weren't disappointed. The hot chocolate was divine - so much so I've come home and treated myself to a velvetiser! Food was delicious. Really welcoming atmosphere. Would love to visit again in the summer months so we can take full advantage of the lovely garden area.

Lovely spot at the north end of Rosedale. Maggie is always welcoming ad makes wonderful cakes. Nice to sit in the sunshine, eat and drink and enjoy the view.

You know what it's like sometimes when you are really looking forward to an event only for it to turn out to be a total disappointment - well this was it. We had seen glowing items in magazines and gushing reviews on websites about this place and thought we were in for a real treat. Not so. The ham in the sandwich was very tasty but in sliced granary bread that could have come from any supermarket. The accompanying salad was shredded iceberg lettuce with a few slices of tomato and cucumber plus a dollop of coleslaw. If you are going to charge £8-40 for this at the very least you need to make an effort on presentation. Cakes were not brilliant either and the cream scone was just that, split in half and the jam and cream already in. Normally would expect to have the ingredients served separately. And the jam lacked taste and texture. The place itself is in a stunning location with great views from the garden. But inside it is less than inviting with bare tables and basic chairs - couldn't even be described as rustic. What did surprise is that how a place with a corrugated asbestos roof exposed to the interior cafe ever got passed health and safety inspection? Still, you win some you lose some and come away £34 worse off for experience. I did double check that I was at the same place as all the people giving it 5* reviews because I couldn't believe we had eaten at the same place.

We spent two nights in the shepherd’s hut at Dale Head Farm Tea Garden. The hut was small but cozy, and very warm and comfortable. There was a double bed and single trundle bed available to use, and private bathroom nearby. Maggie, the host, was delightful - she gave us great options and directions for local pubs in the area for dinner, and chatter freely over breakfast. Full English breakfast was included, and we visited the Tea Garden for coffee and cake in the morning. Cakes were all homemade by Maggie, and delicious. Other products are all locally sourced. A very relaxing get-away for us.

My husband booked us an overnight stay at the Shepherds Hut at Dale Head Farm. We were warmly greeted by the lady in the cafe who went to get Maggie for us, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, showed us our hut and around the area, also showed us the tracks to walk to if we wanted to venture out. We settled in and went for some cake (it was my birthday after all) and it was amazing easily one of the best cakes I’ve ever had! We then decided to go for a walk to the local pub that Maggie had recommended the views were stunning as described and was so nice to see the sights. Came back had a lovely bbq and a cosy night in. Then woke up the next morning to a beautiful full English! Already been deciding when we can come again. Such a wonderful place full of wonderful people. Thank you x

Excellent tea, great owner and a thoroughly enjoyable refreshment stop for exploring Rosedale. Nice honey from adjacent farm on sale but pollinated by the flowers at the tea garden! Thoroughly recommended.

We were recommended by Linda/Ian at Sevenford House. It had been snowing and we took a route along the old railway line and dropped down into the cafe. 7 of us walked there and 4 others drove up in car. The cafe is fantastic and quirky. Maggie and Mary (from the dairy she said!) really made us welcome. We had cake and the most enormous Teacakes ever! Lovely pots of tea too. What a lovely gorgeous place - highly recommended and we will certainly be back.

What a wonderful spot - so beautiful and full of kindness and friendship! I arrived pretty tired, after a long walk on no breakfast, and was revived with a truly delicious ham sandwich, elegantly served and containing the best ham I have ever eaten, followed by sticky ginger cake with cheese, which was also very good. In addition, I was worried about finishing the walk and was instantly offered a lift down the valley to where we had left our car, so that my friend didn’t have to come back and pick me up. This is a very special place.

Called in for coffee and cake during my dog walk. The coffee is superb, excellent quality. And the chocolate cake is absolute heaven. By far the best I've ever had. Stunning views and lovely service. Thank you

This Tea Garden is excellent. While walking along the paths in this beautiful Rosedale we visited the cafe twice and on both occasions enjoyed lovely hot soup followed by delicious pies and the owner’s home baked scrumptious cake. When sitting in the garden there is an awesome view down along the length of the dale - and if it is raining, there is a very comfortable space inside the cafe itself. Highly recommended.

We stopped there for a hike, saw the sign and went in. We were instantly rewarded with heavenly smells of tea, coffee, warm toast and a nice choice of cakes and scones. Superb quality, fair prices and a stunning view in the garden! ♥️

We visited here a couple of weeks ago and have been looking forward to it for a long time as we hadn't been since the pandemic started. We have been many times before and always look forward to it. It has expanded since we were here last with a counter inside the cafe building, and lovely new loos. But the best bit is sitting in the garden in the sunshine taking in the fabulous view. We arrived just after a large group of cyclists so there was a queue at the counter but everyone got served quickly. The food was as lovely as ever, and the whole experience is just so relaxing. Looking forward to our next visit.

We stopped off at Dale Head Tea Garden after a walk up to Blakey Ridge. The garden has a lovely view over the valley farmland and up onto the ridge, plus the garden itself was very well maintained with plenty of seats and lots of character! We visited at the end of the Jubilee weekend and there was a great selection of themed food choices. We opted for blueberry scones and these were fantastic - wonderfully presented (fresh with lots of jam and cream) and the best scones we have enjoyed for ages! Staff were friendly and helpful - the coffee was great too! A lovely way to end to a day out in Rosedale.

Well worth the walk from Rosedale , fantastic views from the seats in the garden , you can also drive here and park. We had coronation chicken sandwiches, probably the best I've had in a long time also had some delicious home made cakes , tea and coffee also really good . I would recommend a visit . The lady who runs it is so friendly and nice . We will be ack very soon , always worth checking opening times before you set off to avoid disappointment.

I visited with my dog on May bank holiday. Absolutely stunning setting, peaceful and amazing views. The three ladies behind the counter were very jolly & friendly. The lady with the bob was very kind to my little dog. My sandwich was lovely and fresh, cake to die for with lots of Yorkshire tea. Definitely worth going out of your way to visit.

After wanting to visit the tea room for quite a while, we finally visited on a recent bank holiday. It was our first day trip out in a long time and we were really looking forward to it. We managed to find a parking space...

The setting is amazing with a lovely tea garden, but we paid in excess of £7 for rather soggy sandwiches with generic crisps. Despite claims about the quality of the bread it might as well have been sliced bread from the supermarket. Certainly not value...

Half way on a walk out of Rosedale we came across this little gem of a cafe. Good food & wonderful views which included a refreshing Elderflower drink served with slices of lemon, orange and Strawberries. Highly recommend.

Went to Dale Head Farm last Friday, we did a detour from our walk as it’s one of my favourite places. We weren’t disappointed. We both had the BLT, which was delicious, followed by a scone for my partner and carrot cake for me, both,...

Fantastic. We had cakes, milkshake, coffee and tea each really good. The friendliness and service gives it that edge and 5 stars. Price was fair too, not as much as a high street coffee shop, yet the quality of cakes much better and a factor...

A nice find whilst out walking. The location is beautiful. I expect if it is a busy day, it may get crowded as the place, although beautiful is small. The sausage roll was delicious and the cake was very nice, if a tad small. The...

We walked a fair way to visit this charming Tea Garden, the different garden furniture and beautiful flowers really make the place seem like a "proper tea room". We each had a sausage roll (one Pork and Apple and one Mediterranean) along with a coffee...

A very peaceful late lunch - wonderful views in a lovely garden. Delicious homemade food: Yorkshire pasty (because it's made in Yorkshire;), Mediterranean slice, Yorkshire curd cake and bracken cake with cheese, to name a few of the tasty homemade items to that we ordered....

We visited this tea room while on the circular Rosedale walk. The setting is good, the staff very friendly but the food was over priced for what you receive. To pay £3.50 for a small slice of cake was scandalous. Also £8.50 for the sandwich...

Really nice people - wide range of food and cakes. good to see some vegan stuff on the menu. brilliant views. garden was just the right mix of informal formal. the views are excellent, and the drive is fun too.

My wife and I visited for an afternoon tea. We are both exempt from wearing face coverings and when we explained this the senior member of staff they became unwelcoming. The attitude towards us became unpleasant and rude. I appreciate that protocols need to be...

Lovely tea shop in the Countryside. This was a welcome rest stop on our circular walk from Rosedale Abbey along the valley and then returning along the old train track and iron mills. Beautiful views. You can sit in or outside. Very clean and delicious...

Such a welcome break on our round walk from Rosedale Abbey. Wonderful garden setting with cakes to match. Best carrot cake I’ve ever had.

Literally stumbling upon this delightful little place (having got lost and added another 8 miles to our 8 mile walk) was like finding an oasis in the desert! And what an oasis it was. Wonderful staff and amazing food. Vegan chocolate cake to die for,...

We always try to make it up to Dale Head Farm The views are fantastic and the tea and cakes are supreme

Great cafe with lovely cakes! Arrived in the middle of a heavy rainstorm hoping to pick up a takeaway as not a day to linger in the tea garden but the very friendly staff told us there is an indoor area which was very welcome. Had delicious cakes, coffee and excellent hot chocolate which was very welcome. The staff were really friendly and can definitely recommend this cafe which is situated about halfway round the circular Rosedale valley walk.

We have just arrived home from a wonderful stay at the Dalehead Farm shepherds Hut. We travelled as a family of three with our little boy who is 4. We were looking for a unique holiday and were not disappointed. Everything about our stay was lovely from the Shepherds Hut itself to the tea room serving amazing food and drinks (especially the scones) and Maggie who is so welcoming and friendly. Homecooked breakfasts were amazing and our Son loved playing with their dog Bria! The walk along the old railway track (approx 5.5 miles) was great with the most spectacular views and little hidden waterfalls. Thanks to Maggie and your team....we will be back again soon x

Visited this morning having seen this place on a tv programme a while ago. Very disappointed. Today was a damp grey day so we asked if we could go in the barn. The place was a dumping ground for rubbish and was filthy. We shouldn’t have stayed actually! Scone and 2 cups of tea. Disappointing! Staff were very unfriendly and rather snappy! Definitely need some training in customer service!

Lovely tea and cake on the hottest day of the year. Glorious setting with spectacular views down the dale. All the seating and tables are outside and they are all sanitised between customers. Delicious Yorkshire tea and homemade cakes (we had the marmalade cake). The welcome and service are as good as ever. Keep up the good work.

We had to eat and drink outside but the day was great. We enjoyed our lemon drizzle cake and pot of tea, hoping to visit again when the worst of virus restrictions are over. At "normal" times (virus free) if no staff on duty you can help yourself to cake and tea or coffee etc. and put money in honesty box. A real boon as it is in the middle of nowhere with great views all round and saves you carrying refreshmants on your walk.

It was a great experience to come upon this delightful tearoom while walking in Rosedale. A real feel-good factor that this place at times runs on a self-service/honesty basis. Lovely surroundings, delicious cake with facilities to make your own tea, plus access to a toilet - perfect break on a long walk!

In der gemütlich eingerichteten shepherdshut lässt sich wunderbar übernachten. Absolute ruhe, ein kleiner holzofen und feine bisquits zum tee sind die higlights. Die liebenswürdige gastgeberin serviert ein wunderbares frühstück. Gut geeignet für c2c wanderer.

A wonderful place to take a break when walking in Rosedale. The comfy seats in the shelter were most welcome on a misty damp day. There was a tempting selection of excellent home made cakes and plenty of tea and coffee. On a fine day the peaceful garden has beautiful views of Rosedale.

Stunning location, excellent service and delicious cakes. Rest of the food looked lovely too especially the moors pasties. Set in a beautiful relaxed garden it's more like tea on the lawn than a commercial place. A good sized pot of proper tea too!

I have stayed at Rosedale East a number of times over the years and have always gone into Rosedale Abbey for a tearoom as I hadn't realised that the Dale Head Tearoom did self service when I had assumed it was closed at the beginning of the week. Luckily a fellow guest put me right so I had my first visit last Monday. What a delight! A good selection of cakes, and facilities for making tea and coffee as well as cold drinks. I was pleased to see fresh milk in a jug rather than the UHT pots you get at some places. The garden and views are a delight but also it was nice to be able to go inside for a bit of shade as it was an unusually hot day. Great too that there was a toilet available in the house (well signposted) as we had walked to the Dale Head. Even with self service we felt very welcome, especially as we were the only visitors in the tearoom so we could dream that we were living in a fabulous location!

I visited with family and friends for the first time this year. We've known about the tea garden for some time but hadn't realized that they offer a self serve facility on a Monday and Tuesday, otherwise we'd have visited before (we thought it was closed on these days). We were the only poeple there after our walk, and felt welcomed by the pretty garden and quaintly furnished room with lovely views. Happy to serve myself coffee and a very generous portion of ginger cake for a very reasonable price. Also pleased to find a toilet available even though the tea garden is attached to a family home. We'll definately return. I've marked te service excellent even though we served ourselves because everything was well laid out and clean.

The four of us happened on this quirky and delightful tea room during our walk. A charming lady running it was complemented by outstanding sandwiches and cakes. Highly recommended.

A fantastic tea room/garden. Food and views to die for. Gluten free choices available. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely friendly welcome. The homemade scones were delicious and nothing was too much trouble. Beautiful location too. My other half was so taken my the homemade flapjacks that he wanted the recipe!

Almost impossible to find, we had a farmer laughing at us as we ended up almost in his field! Eventually we got there and it was worth the search. We had coffee and home made scones and they were very tasty. The views were fantastic and the staff were friendly. Service slightly on the slow side but the sun was shining and we didn’t really care! Lovely place!

We have been calling at Maggie's excellent tea garden for many years after Rosedale Show, usually via a splendid walk up there, though some of your party do drive up. Even with Maggie away on a run this weekend, the food we had was great again, plenty of it and capped our great weekend.

Very good homemade food and sandwiches. Good choice and freshly prepared. Warm welcome and refreshment stop while walking in Rosedale.

A little gem, hidden away. Indoor and outdoor tables available. Tea and cake was the fodder for most visitors. We opted for coke and lemon drizzle cake as a mid walk treat. Very tasty cake. Like the idea of the self service cafe when the owners are not around, great for those on walks who need refreshment or a welcome hot drink in the rain/wind.

Great stop for home made meringues, fresh cream and strawberries.... delicious .. despite signs saying no access around the head of the dale they are still open and there are lots of ways to get there with minimal disruption to your walk route... please still support , yummy home made cakes etc

Just when you think you had run out of anywhere to have afternoon tea and cake we found this oasis at the end of the lane. Wow best scones that we have had. Quirky but great.

Called with daughter and family had lovely cakes sandwich and drinks ,my son in-law cut his hand and the owner was amazing sorted out bandages and plasters. It’s a beautiful garden ,and indoor space in a lovely setting . The food is homemade and delicious.

Lovely stop for refreshments on a long walk. China tea cups and a fantastic range of cakes. Cheese and fruit scones especially good.

A delightful tea garden with stunning views of the dale. Everything home made and delicious. Prices very reasonable.

What’s not to like about sitting in the summer sunshine in a fantastic setting and enjoying some great value great quality tea and cake.

We visit North Yorkshire every year and stay at Rosedale Abbey. For the last 3 years we have walked more than once to this wonderful tea room. You can drive there but the walk is magnificent. You are served with china cups and saucers. Real Yorkshire tea in china teapot and the most yummy home made cakes. Lovely outdoor seating and also a cosy indoor area. Served by the most delightful lady and the are open when they are closed with a self serve honesty box.

We have just done a circular walk from Rosedale and planned to have a tea and cake on our way round at Dale Head Farm. We were not disappointed. The views are beautiful ( so was the weather) and we all had a pot of tea and boozy fruit cake or cheese and chive scone, all homemade and wonderful. Had a lovely walk back from there, definitely worth the diversion.

Dale Head Farm - Tea Rooms & Gardens - and Shepherds Hut... This is a FABULOUS place to visit for amazing walks and lunch / afternoon tea... or better still - stay in their Shepherds Hut.... some of the best scenery anywhere in England, and an experience of simple beauty - wonderful food, stunning scenery, a fabulous Shepherds Hut, and an amazing hostess in Maggie - who works tirelessly, creates perfect delicious food, and makes the whole experience a dream come true - and even finds time to train for a triathlon! Simply put - she is ‘Wonderwoman’

Just back from two nights staying in the Shepherds Hut at Dale Head Farm Tea Garden. The hut is very private with it's own little garden - barbeque, table & chairs and outdoor fire. Inside is cosy with log burner for those cooler nights, microwave, fridge, kettle and the most comfortable bed. Everything you need to get away from it all. Shower and facilities just a short hop and jump from the hut. The views from the door are just amazing and it's wonderful to relax and listen to the sheep, birdsong and the beck bubbling away just down the lane, stunning. Just a short walk up the hillside to reach the disused railway line walk around Rosedale which is well worth exploring.

We walked from Rosedale , this place is well worth a visit we had sandwiches and cream scone both delicious the coffee is also very nice , the owner is very nice and always gives you a warm welcome , cannot wait to go back again.

Went by car. Journey exactly what you should expect for such a remote beautiful location. Well worth it. Warmly greeted by Maggie. Sufficient choice on menu considering situation. If you expect plastic high street shop do not waste the lady’s time. Loved it so much that bought cakes to take away. Loved the food and even the tea seemed to taste nicer than at home. Hope that she is open when we visit area again in October. Many thanks for a lovely relaxing refreshment stop. Keep up the good work !

What a gem of a find. Gorgeous home baked cakes and Yorkshire Tea, overlooking the amazing view. Maggie couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. Well worth the ride and a highlight of our holiday.

Great little tea room and garden. Very friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere with great view over the dale. Cakes were delicious and catered well for gluten free options. Perfect stop after a walk round the dales in any weather! Would definitely visit again.

Had such a brilliant night in the Shepherd’s Hut - such a lucky find, really comfy beds and lovely touches. Maggie is such a warm welcoming host and showed us around the lovely hut and explained everything including a toilet and shower a stones throw away. Went out to Blakey early for dinner and spent the rest of the evening looking out at the amazing view with our little log burner drinking a glass of wine. Breakfast is included (which was a lovely surprise as I hadn’t read the booking properly!!) Already wracking my brains for when we’re free to come back! Thanks Maggie and your friendly family we felt really welcome.

Spectacular cakes, very welcoming. If you can find it... In a car it's down the sort of lane you only find in bad fiction. Lots of fun.

Nowt like Yorkshire tea and cake with a view after a long trek on the moors. We peeked in the shepherds hut too and would love a night there. Good northern hospitality. Highly recommended

Enjoyed a welcome drink and cake during our walk from Rosedale Abbey to Dale Head. Very enjoyable and will return.

This was a splendid find and a great place to stop halfway on our walk around the spectacular valley of Rosedale. Excellent selection of cakes and drinks, all freshly homemade with local ingredients and well presented; the seasonal special Autumn Apple Cake was delicious as was the gluten-free Lemon Drizzle Cake.

So grateful to have Maggie's wonderful tea & cake waiting after a long walk! Thank you - the lemon drizzle is great.

We were out walking in Rosedale and saw the signs for Dale Head tea garden so decided to alter out route and call in.

Have visited many times and have sampled lots of Maggie’s cakes all of which are delicious. To sit in the garden with a cup of Yorkshire tea and enjoy the wonderful views, not to mention the peace & quiet, is the best therapy.

Always use this tea room when in the area. Wonderful scenic location. Great homemade cream scones and China cups. Tea made with lots of loose tea (strainer provided) and plenty of extra hot water. Just the way it should be.

Fantastic location , outstanding cakes and scones nice tea and coffee ,fantastic welcoming staff. Worth a walk to visit , 10/10

A visit to Maggie is a must if you are in the area, superb selection of cake and refreshments served in the farmhouse garden.

what a location! right at the top of the dale . the garden has wonderful views in every direction. we had tea (they even have decaf) and i had yorkshire tea bread and cheese ( local custom) and my husband had gooseberry crumble cake which was to die for. all made by the resident farmers wife.

Beautiful accommodation, everything we hoped for and more. Fantastic views, very well equipped and totally snug Very good cooked breakfast great service Can’t wait for our next visit, Thankyou for making it so welcoming Maggie

Found this by chance while out walking above Rosedale . Cafe is self service , boil kettle for tea or have a cold drink . Price list on display . Truly wonderful lemon drizzle cake . I didn’t have room to try the other cakes . The owner & Cake Maker said hello so felt blessed to meet a friendly person who is clearly a great cook . There was also good information on display about the history in the area of ironstone mining . A place not to be missed . Walk or drive to it .

I was here on a beautiful sunny day, and this is a fantastic place to stop for tea and cake. The service was great, well done, a big thank you.

We make sure we visit this tea room each time we visit Rosedale. The walk to it is made easier knowing that there is a little oasis at the end!! When we visited last week we were the only people there as we were a little early but we were made to feel welcome even though we had an "excitable" dog with us!! It was a very windy day so we sat in the hut so that we could still see the beautiful view.

Quite difficult vehicle access primarily down single track lane. Small parking area on arrival. Not a nice day when we visited and there were no other customers when we arrived. Limited menu of sandwiches and home baking. The prices were by no means inexpensive and based on other reviews we had high hopes. Unfortunately we found the sandwiches acceptable but very basic. Similarly we found the quality of the baking dissapointing .we had scone, meringue and treacle tart. The view is lovely and worth a visit for that alone .

Stopped off for lunch here when walking on Sunday. Limited menu told didntvdi soup during the summer so opted for a sandwich as the selling point was that the bread made from flour locally produced at Spaunton Mill. I was disappointed when it came the bread was very thinly sliced and the choice of egg expensive at £6.00. The setting was pretty and friends had coffee and cake so maybe I should opt for that if I go again.

Unfortunately one of our Mountain biking party had a big fall nearby and sustained a serious injury.

We stayed at dale head farm in their beautiful shepherds hut for one night as an early birthday present. It was fab!! So comfy and cosy we were made to feel so welcome and had the best full cooked breakfast the next morning. Can't wait to go back to see Maggie and her family a must for anyone wanting to get away from it all and do some stunning walks.

Went for a walk with friends and found this place thanks to some signs. Owing to the great weather, they had run out of bread, which is good as it’s nice to see that local businesses are busy. Instead we ordered several cakes which were very tasty and filling. On reflection, if there was no bread, if there was still fillings available these could have been offered with some chutney....as some sort of open ploughman type thing. We also had some dogs and it’s good that that place allows dogs. We did have water for the dogs but could not see a water bowl in the garden for general dog use. The brack was very tasty. Finally, the lady who ran the place was friendly but could have spent a few minutes engaging with us as new customers.Really liked this place and our suggestions are given to help the place retain customers and not to criticise.

Fantastic day weather was great and what a view, love the place. Fresh loss leaf tea, homemade sandwiches the bread is so good. With a homemade cake to finish. Great time once again. Thank you

Fabulous cakes great tea and drinking chocolate Maggie is helpful and sweet we just love going there

Beautiful day, lovely views, tables in garden some with sun umbrellas. Food was all homemade, very tasty sandwich with salads and crisps and excellent iced coffee. We did intend to have the recommended scones but didn't have room. Did however bring home Maple Pecan cake and Moggy which we had as dessert after dinner, super. A little off the beaten track but well worth a visit.

Recently spent the night here with my daughter and 2 young granddaughters.

Stayed in a shepherds hut with panoramic views served with a fantastic breakfast every morning . with home made cakes and tea on tap in a beautiful Tea garden cafe you couldn't ask for more .Maggie the Rose in this quirky little hideaway couldn't have made us any more welcome ,when she wasn't baking cooking lambing she still found plenty of time to make us feel right at home truly a gem big thanks Maggie jx

Stayed here with my boyfriend for our aniversary and it was everything we wanted and more. Arrived late (not a problem) to be greeted by Alora who showed us around. The hut is so cosy and has everything you need (even shortcake biscuits baked in the shape of sheep) but we spent most of the evening eating outside and stargazing. Bed very comfy and breakfast even better with nice, clean facilities only a 30 second walk from the hut. In the morning we went to the lambing shed to feed and hold the lambs which was lovely.

I am sure that the reviews shown are all totally valid and true and I think maybe we were just unlucky to arrive here on a day where the experience was not as expected after reading the glowing reviews.

What a brilliant find. We were feeling bit hungry, thirsty after 2 hours walking, then stumbled across Dalehead Farm. Utterly charming. Self service, tea coffee soft drin ks and wonderful homebaked cakes. Somewhere to rest our legs and continue our walk. Lovely

Truly Excellent home made food. Amazing location. Perfect service There is nothing not to like about this hidden away, quirky gem of a tea shop. Do go, you will not regret it.

There is a fabulous view when you sit outside looking down the valley. Amazing scones and !oose leaf tea with a warm welcome from the owner.

This is the bestest ever of hiking cafes! Such a welcome stop when hiking away from it all on the North Yorkshire Moors in the Rosedale area. Maggie was so welcoming and her menu is brilliant, with homemade soups in the winter and an indoor...

Called in today with my husband and puppies after approximately a 6 mile walk. Beautiful Yorkshire loose leaf tea. Massive pot plus extra hot water. Drinking out of China cups ( tea at its best) lovely toasted tea cakes. Nice friendly people made us and...

My husband and I have visited here before so we thought we would show the kids a real treat! After braving many intermittent showers (great sumner weather) we finally reached our goal! Sat in the garden under a large parasol we ordered 3 scones, tea...

An absolute gem! Proper Yorkshire tea and a proper Yorkshire welcome half way around a stunning walk.

This is a real gem. It's a good old walk to get there but when you do Wow. Excellent fresh baked cakes and scones. With a proper cup of tea and great view. What more could you want?

One of the dales greatest secrets but definitely worth seeking out, hidden down a winding road at the end of the dale, just follow the signs from Rosedale till you can't go no further. Dog friendly with delicious fresh cakes in a beautiful location.

Lovely place to stop mid walk for lunch. So friendly, great service and great food. Lovely sandwiches and cake. You can drive there if you don't fancy the walk 😀
