Edensor Tea Cottage & Licensed Cafe in Derbyshire Dales

Lovely little cafe, excellent breakfast. We booked a table in advance to avoid disappointment. We really enjoyed both drinks and food, the only thing was our first drinks took a while, but the place was busy! Would recommend and definitely go again.

Good service,good food, and good ambience. Friendly and helpful staff too.

Visited late on a Sunday afternoon and the cafe was packed so we sat in their front courtyard. The scone was yummy albeit it burnt on the bottom. Service was understandably slow. Still would return but plan ahead and get a table inside.

Has a fabulous "Autumn Afternoon Tea" here with my Mum and sister one Sunday afternoon. What a lovely place - nothing was too much trouble. We let them know one of us is a wheelchair user and they booked us an easy table with this in mind. The afternoon tea was superb - everything very well put together and some of the more delicate flavours (for example the mixed berry compote with the scone) kept the taste very interesting all the way through. We'll absolutely 100% be back in the not too distant future.

Delicious breakfast, can't recommend this place highly enough. Lovely, friendly, attentive staff. Well worth a visit.

An absolute must every time that I visit the Peak District! This tea room is wonderful, and makes the most amazing breakfast. A lovely, friendly atmosphere, and great service from the friendly staff.

Lovely spot for a cake and coffee. Excellent quality although expensive.

Friendly staff, historic building and good food

Fabulous for tea 🫖 and scones the proper English way after a long day at Chatsworth House 💯❤️

Loved this place, staff are so kind and welcoming. We booked a table for 2 and a baby with pram which was made available for us and the orders were taken with drinks arriving fast and then breakfast orders taken and the food arrived shortly after a generous portion that had a whole lot of flavour.

Booked for a birthday lunch. As always a very warm welcome , excellent service , beautiful food just lovely. Thank you .

In these strange times the menu was varied and interesting. The dirty chips we had were wonderful and a definite to have again, naughty but oh so nice😉 Visited yesterday 29/06/21for a lunch time meal. Great meal very reasonable prices but moreover the food quality is excellent. We both had the honey ham and duck eggs. Fantastic. August 2024. Looks like the ownership may have changed. We dropped in for lunch but my partners food was very definitely over cooked, the waiter asked how our food was and when we told him how poor it was he just smiled and walked away. When I paid the the bill I informed them of the poor quality of my partners food and the waiters lack of interest and they did remove the cost of the meal from the bill. Would now think twice about returning, a real shame as it used to be so good.

Superb start to the day Cannot fault the breakfasts here. Excellent quality and local products. The coffee was one of the best we have had in a long time. Very dog friendly too but we did sit outside as it was a lovely morning.

We came in on a Friday morning, the staff were quite helpful at first in helping me find a spot with good WiFi connection and a plug for my laptop. My friend and I ordered 3 drinks between two of us. We wouldn't be sitting long if we noticed the restaurant getting busy but it wasn't. The waitress tells us that we would need to leave in 15-20 mins as someone's booked the table. I asked if we could move to another table for two but were told that it would be getting 'full' very soon. 20 mins later, there aren't any new customers in. So I am not sure if that was the case or it was just a ploy for us to leave as we weren't spending enough.

Had toasted tea cake with wild berry compote. Compote was to die for. Lovely tea room in beautiful location, friendly staff

Lovely atmosphere one if our favourite places.

The scones are HUGE and WARM. Parking is hit or miss. Next time I'll try something savoury.

The afternoon tea was very poor compared to other places we have been. The sandwiches had poor quality fillings and the cakes were tasteless.

A very pleasant experience in a beautiful little village

Latte and pot of tea for 1 and 2 pieces of cake. Very nice but £16.40 is pricey!

Nice find for us , while out on the motorcycle , probably a bit posh for what we're used to ,so on our best behaviour ,but really enjoyed the pit stop 👍

Dog friendly cafe. Staff were friendly but very slow on service and coming back to take our order.

The poached eggs here are probably in my top 3 and I've had a lot of poached eggs from many great places! 👏

Lovely place to stop for refreshments and relaxation. Terrific location.

Very cosy beautiful tea rooms, lovely setting and staff. For £23 the food a little ordinary, we had high tea. The sandwiches were thick white bread with boring cheap fillings, i ate some of fillings and left all the bread. We got a small warm scone for savory. The cakes, coffees & teas were very nice. I would go back but order something else off the menu.

Lovely little place’ nice friendly staff and of course cake’ 😉😉👍👍

Edensor is beautiful, the cafe is in a fabulous setting. The food let it down. Disappointing.

Lovely afternoon tea with my daughter. The staff were really attentive and made sure that my vegetarian daughter was catered for. They went through all the food with us both. We started with warm cheese scones with beetroot butter, then came the platter - a great array of sandwiches, followed by little cakes and truffles, then fruit scones with cream and homemade jam. We couldn't eat it all so we were given little boxes to bring home the leftovers. The atmosphere is quintessentially British. Would definitely recommend.

Service can be a bit slow when it's busy. Good cakes.

Lovely lunch. Staff friendly and efficient . Will return.

Did not book table but got a table for two.Light lunch and tea.Very nice.

My sister and I booked for the Afternoon tea with sandwiches, scones and cakes. We were topped up with fresh pots and tea and nothing was too much trouble. The staff were polite, smiley and welcoming. We struggled to finish our top tier and were asked if we would like to take it home im a box. The food was plenty and very tasty with vegetarian options. I did ask for this option on booking. All in all a wonderful way to finish off our lovely trip to Chatsworth.

Fantastic afternoon tea, great service, polite staff that wanted you to have a good experience.

Absolutely beautiful little cafe

What a lovely tea room in such a quaint Hamlet I loved it. Well worth a visit for both the food and the location.

Lovely stop on a bike ride (or walk or drive)

Lovely location...tasty food with efficient friendly staff beats Chatsworth...

We enjoyed Afternoon Tea and breakfast the next morning. They were both delicious. The service was perfect and the atmosphere was pleasant. If you are visiting Edensor or Chatsworth don't miss this little gem.

Love coming here. My daughter's fave place. Beautiful little village to admire and lovely walk around Chatsworth afterwards.

Lovely cafe, plenty of outdoor space, some parking available but gets busy at weekends and holidays. Dog friendly. Great staff who really care about the food and customer service. Lovely food. Excellent breakfasts! Yummy cakes. Highly recommend.

Excellent location friendly helpful staff with good food and drink

Lovely spot ☕, friendly staff 😊, great coffee and cakes!! 🍰

Splendid place for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Coffee, tea, cakes, scones, pancakes, crumpets, classic English breakfast or variations of it. There’s something (delicious) for everyone. And not pricey at all!

Lovely place to go. Good food, good coffee good tea & good waffles 😀

Quirky but lovely coffee and sandwiches 🥪.

Lovely tea room, great coffee and scones with brilliant service. Highly recommended

Such a lovely place to have lunch, coffee and cake after a walk round Chatsworth. Our friends were visiting so we brought them here with our dogs and they all loved it. Service top notch, food and drinks amazing. Cakes brought home with us and went down a treat!

What a great place this is lovely people and fantastic food

Truly worth a visit, not far from Chatsworth caravan and motorhome club.

Lovely walk from Chatsworth to Edensor tea rooms, the 2024 addition of leche leche to the menu, an especially tasty treat!!

What a delightful place. My first visit today with my daughter in law. The service was excellent and the breakfast really lovely. Will definitely be visiting again very soon. Thank you.

Warm welcome, clean premises and good food and drink, value for money. Thanks

A lovely place and delicious afternoon tea, but disappointed to be charged an extra £4.00 above our pre paid gift voucher due to an apparent price increase. I would have thought the price should have been fixed at the time of purchase.

What a fabulous tea room in the beautiful village of Edensor. We had lunch there today and it was delicious. The standard and presentation of food being served was very high and all looked delicious. The staff were all very friendly and efficient. It's dog friendly too which was good to see. Do pre book as it gets busy and you run the risk of not getting a table if you just turn up. Photos of the menu taken today 12/03/2024. 5* from us and we'll definitely be returning.

Good place to visit after a good walk.

It seems like a fairytale place with dream food and good prices for the context.

Great place for excellent food and service. Really friendly, welcoming staff. Wide choice of delicious food. Highly recommend.

Sat outside lovely cup of tea and delicious cake , facilties clean, staff friendly

Simply the best afternoon tea I have ever had. And the value is outstanding. We started with a surprise-onion and celeriac soup with cheese croutons. Just the right size potion. The sandwiches were lovely and the chef was flexible to change from the planned menu. The scones were to die for with tart and lovely fresh jam. The meal was so filling we took away some of the desserts for later. You’ll need to book. They gave us the equivalent of a private room as there were 9 of us. Fantastic place.

What's not to love? The fantastic selection of superb snacks and meals or the stunning Earl Grey? Try it and find out. You'll be surprised just how good it all is. The cakes are phenomenal as well by the way.

Fantastic. Really unique menu and delicious

This is a wonderful cafe on the Chatsworth Estate with beautiful surroundings.The food is good and the staff very helpful.I would definitely recommend a visit.

Brilliant breakfast - definitely wanted to go back for tea (cakes looked amazing) but too full. Lovely service. Plenty of vegetarian options. Dog friendly.

Lovely tea room with a great range of veggie food.

We all really enjoyed our festive afternoon tea again today. We had one last year which we thought was great but today’s was even tastier! We have been here many times and it never disappoints! Keep up the great work & Merry Christmas to you all!

Lovely tea rooms; great afternoon tea!

Back again today and it didn't disappoint. Great vegan cake, fruit scone and good coffee. Very friendly service.

Loved it all and will be back very soon

This couldn't have been a cosier or more welcoming place on the first snowy day of the year. A roaring log burner, a great welcome, and lots of cosy nookd and crannies complete with blankets, Christmas crackers and really nice food.

Have called here a number of times. Good food and service, also dog friendly.

Such a cosy place! The staff were so welcoming a perfect place for a bite to eat on a cold winter day.

Lovely staff, lovely food. Well worth a visit. Beautiful little village.

A wonderful tea cottage with the most pleasant and helpful staff even when under huge pressure

Everything all in or outside is perfect and so lovely as goes to the kind and politeful women working there I highly recommend is to go eat and drink there

Very nice place in the countryside. A must visit. Do book your table a day before, as it is quite well visited.

Very cosy spot in Edensor. Good selection of food and drink, friendly service and great location!

Lovely welcome. The place was very busy but so pleasant.

Lovely place and very hardworking staff they were clearly short staffed when we came in on Friday midday but still remained super friendly and the food was great too - thank you!

Great for a mid walk drink. Friendly. Great cakes and bakes.

Afternoon tea was fabulous again, beautiful selection of sandwiches scones and cakes with very nice coffee. Cosy atmosphere, attentive staff, lovely decor, picturesque setting. Highly recommend!

Lovely breakfast if you don't mind sitting in a dog kennel. Every other table had dogs and not all were well behaved. Chatsworth restaurant has a separate eating area for dogs if you are allergic. Edensor was very busy..probably best to book.

We arrived at 4.20, to be told they were closing at 5 (which we knew) and so they could only do coffees and cakes. I didn’t mind as we only wanted tea and scones, but for others who are expecting full kitchen service - beware you won’t get this towards the end of closing hours. Also beware that they will tell every single customer this for a whole hour, start wrapping up cakes in cling film from 4.30, and start sweeping the floor around you by 4.40. Honestly, if you close at 5 - close at 5 please. Don’t start preparing to close at 4 and make your paying customers - who are paying the same prices as those who came at 2pm - feel unwelcome by literally shutting up shop around them. Anyway - good tea and coffee. The scone was fine, not the best I’ve had. Far too big for a start, and the quantity of clotted cream for a scone that size was totally inadequate. Nice compote to go with it though. And before the business responds to say “oh you should have told us about the cream” - perhaps I would have, if the staff had not made it clear how desperate they were to go home! But really, the cream should be in proportion to the scone to begin with. Otherwise it’s just dry.

Lovely little tea shop for a mid-walk treat. Stopped off for a coffee and a scone and enjoyed it inside the tea shop itself. Additional covered seating was available outside. We've been here before and will definitely be back.

Love this place. Whenever we are at Chatsworth, we always walk to the tea rooms at Edensor. Beautiful food and drink and very dog friendly inside and out. Please don't ever change what you do it is great as it is.

Very busy when we went yesterday! Coffees were good and cakes but could not sit inside, we had to sit outside in the cold.

The best scone so far and I've tried a few. Home made jam and clotted cream

Lovely tearoom. Tasty scone. The tea is nice as well. But for the afternoon tea, it needs reservation 24 hours before. That is a bummer.

Excellent restaurant - definitely worth a visit! Dropped in for coffee and cake whilst out walking and enjoyed ourselves so much we returned for Autumnal afternoon tea! The quality of the food is excellent and the atmosphere warm and inviting. The team are efficient, friendly, helpful and attentive, making sure that we were well looked after. The restaurant is very popular so best to book, especially for weekend lunches to avoid disappointment.

Fantastic place for afternoon tea! Amazing food and wonderful staff

Lovely lunchtime today helped by sunshine. Food really good. I have one observation. The young girl on the till didn't have a clue. She wasn't aware of the specials and seemed very confused. This led to a queue and some frustration. I would have thought it would be better to put someone with experience on the till. Service was slow but friendly.

Absolutely lovely place and coffee 😊

These girls here work really hard to give you refreshment after a long day on the saddle! Lovely quaint country style cafe serving throughout the day . Top class service by the lovely girls!!

Lovely place in Chatsworth grounds

Great place to catch up with friends and have a cuppa

Must be the cosiest place I've ever been in. We didn't eat, but the scones looked fabulous. The tea was good. The pretty grounds are great for a walk. Shame there's only one toilet. This is for baby changing too.

Very thoughtful and attentive staff

Excellent in every way. Food is freshly prepared and a very good menu. Scones are the best I have ever tasted. Staff are very friendly and helpful

We had an absolutely wonderful Afternoon Tea and were able to sit outside in the amasing sunshine on the comfortable dining furniture. There was a lovely atmosphere and the staff were extremely friendly. The sandwiches, scones, cakes and biscuits were fresh, really tasty and beautifully presented and we were offered a box to take home a cheesecake that I was unable to complete due to the generous portion sizes ! The staff also told us about their Autumn Afternoon tea experience due to be realeased soon and we plan to return to sample this too and cant wait.

Excellent food & service, the curry bowl with fish option was amazing washed down with a local ale

I have been here a few times recently with three friends for lunch and each time we've all enjoyed our meals and have been really well looked after by the pleasant and helpful staff. Lots of things to choose from on the menu and always a nice experience, We look forward to the next time
