Glebe Cottage in Hambleton

Yummy food, lovely small friendly atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Perfectly placed along the Cleveland way.

Such a great little cafe, a perfect stop on the Cleveland Way or if you are out cycling or walking in the area. A small but hearty menu which is vegetarian friendly. The homemade scones are excellent. The cafe boasts a selection of homemade cakes and there are also some vegan bake bars on the menu. Beautiful views, dog-friendly and lovely staff.

Excellent view on a sunny day and food good and took 90 minutes yes 90 to get it. Kept being told it was coming and got no apology when at last it did. Beware when there is even a small queue for hot food on a sunny weekend here.

A delightful tearoom in a good location which attracts both walkers and cyclists. Good menu, good value, good food - service a little slow

Stopped in for a quick coffee, but it was anything but that. They were a little busy but taking 25 minutes to serve just a single coffee just isn't acceptable. And it wasn't hot when it arrived. They need to get themselves better organised. Still, I got to read the Sunday paper provided!

This was our first visit to the tea room with the new owners and we were very impressed. We stopped for lunch and enjoyed local bacon and free range eggs in a delicious sandwich made from locally baked bread. We enjoyed triple chocolate brownie and fruit scone with jam and clotted cream, all washed down with Yorkshire tea. A great spot and we will be back!

Evidently under new management in Summer 2018, Tucked away in the village of Kildale, this cafe is an excellent stop-off for cyclists, Cleveland Way Walkers and can be incorporated as a food and drink source for walkers on many interesting routes in the surrounding area. Friendly service is assured and the food produce is freshly prepared, good quality and at a reasonable price.

We stopped off half way on our walk to Roseberry Topping, we were greeted by a friendly cafe owner who was interested in where we were going and offered some useful advice about picking up a taxi in the area at the end of the day. There were two kinds of soup on offer which were both nice, I opted for the tomato and basil which was thick and very warming, I also tried the aptly named "adventurers soup" a vegetable broth with lentils which was very filling. To finish it had to be a cup of tea and cake but there was so much choice, it was difficult to make a decision, in the end I chose the coffee and walnut cake which was delicious. The day we went the road outside was being resurfaced and there was no access for cars which meant it wasn't too busy but even so there was a steady stream of walkers and cyclists who clearly knew there was good food to be found at the Glebe Cottage cafe. I would highly recommend this cafe.

Excellent food and a friendly host make this a prefect stop over for a snack and drink. Good prices and homely cooking in a great countryside setting. Will return again.

Kildale is a delightful hamlet on the Esk valley trainline, close to Great Ayton in North Yorkshire National Park. There is free parking near to this café (station car park) and you can walk in several directions in the National Park. such as: Onto Captain Cooks Monument or onto Park Nab. The café is under the new ownership (July 2018) of a charming young man in his early 20's with a real passion for food. It is open 6 days a week (closed Thursday) from 9.30-4.30. So if you are partial to a cake and a coffee after your walk (or drive) of fancy a light lunch then I can recommend this little eatery. Enjoy

Stopped by for lunch. Beautiful day, beautiful surroundings. Plenty of choice on the menu. Had delicious bacon sandwiches and coffee. Everyone was really friendly and went out of their way to serve us. Would definitely recommend this place.

Okay, I don't hand out many 5* reviews but this little cafe is worth it. Like most people I suppose we saw this place in passing and dropped in. Good coffee and great bacon sarnies for brunch and all for a job lot price. Proper thick bacon and plenty of it. Customers come in all types bikers, cyclists, walkers and if you come by car there's plenty of places to park. A couple of mornings later we made a detour on our way across the moors for a return visit.

Came across this gem of a cafe on a ride out. Made very welcome by the owners. Lovely atmosphere with a bit of folk music playing in the background which made a nice change. Plenty of tea in the pot served with a delicious piece of homemade cheesecake.

Visited over the weekend .: had bacon & egg buns & coffees...very friendly staff and ensures dogs had plenty of water... nothing was too much trouble and will return for a cake aa they looked fab... recommended for walkers ...

Disappointing visit here today: we parked, walked in, took some seats, got the menu, made our choices, went to the counter to order only to be told they weren't serving food today - just cake "and there's not much of that left"! What's the point of opening if you don't actually have good to serve? Annoying. All it takes is a sign outside saying "Only drinks and cakes available today." Won't be back.

This is a great little cafe right on the Cleveland Way. Please note that it is open from 9.30am-4.30pm. My internet searches had shown much shorter opening hours. (Of course it may be different in the winter.) Enjoyed the most substantial sandwiches ever!

On a day out from York with friends on the bikes, Glebe Cottage was around halfway round our route and was a most welcome site by the time we got there. The staff were friendly, food was fresh and plentiful. Would highly recommend popping in for a cup of tea and a piece of home baked cake.

If you are in the area you need to give this little gem a try......we stopped here for lunch after cycling from York - food and service were both excellent and a lovely little spot to boot!

This was very welcome stop on a very hot day's walking on the Cleveland Way. We were happy to see that it was open on Sundays as some cafés in Guisborough were closed. We had an excellent panini and omelette. Highly recommended.

I was on a long day of the Cleveland Way, so to find a tea room on route was a very welcome surprise. The lady was very welcoming and chatty. I chose to have an enormous homemade scone which came with jam and clotted cream. It was delicious. I was able to sit outside in the sunshine, but there's plenty of seating inside too.

Excellent Service and extension cable left out for me to charge my electric bike. A lovely visut and good food. Enjoyed my bacon buttie !!!

Soup which would not disgrace a Michelin starred restaurant, lovely cakes, proper tea and coffee. No need to say anymore. This is a very good place in which to eat and an excellent representation of a traditional English tea room. We were so pleased to find this establishment still in existence having visited many years ago when it was under different management. Not to be missed.

Popped in here for a cuppa and loved it and the staff were super friendly and told us about the nearby waterfall and how to get there. Very reasonably priced will definitely go back when the weather is warmer and a great place to take visitors to the area

I had a bacon sandwich, made with thick cut bread and loads of bacon. Very filling. I also had a black coffee which was also good. Toral cost £5.

Popped in here with a view just to get a drink and a scone but when saw the lunch time meal deal with soup and a toastie for £6.95 we went for that. The soup was broccoli and Stilton, it was massive and delicious. The cheese and onion toastie was also big with plenty of filling. Nice experience and will be returning

Stopped for light lunch with a friend after walking from Clay Bank along the Cleveland Way. Very cosy, lovely staff and great background music! There is nothing else in Kildale Lovely toasted sandwich and lashings of tea. Just what was needed! Lovely setting and would definitely call again if I was in the area.

Very abrupt and not nice to customers. Said no when asked can I plug my electric bike in for an hour, wanted to charge £1 to fill a water bottle up from the tap, rude when asked if they take cards. Better places around.

We have been here a few times with present and past owners. Cosy inside and sunny outside areas. Sandwiches are made with doorstep sized , soft bread, crammed full with filling. Huge portions of cake. Monster, light scones...we bought one to take home. Generous pot of hot tea. If you have trouble parking, there is a little parking spot on the main road or if you dont mind a walk, at the station further down the side road.

Found this little cafe by chance when the wife and I were out cycling from Great Ayton heading towards Commondale. What a find. The staff were so friendly and the food is superb and reasonably priced. For a small fee they will even refill your water bottle. I wish I could have spent more time here. I will be returning very soon.

Very comfortable and welcoming tea room serving great coffee and a wonderful assortment of savouries and cakes. My husband and I enjoyed our visit very much after a walk to Captain Cook's monument.

Considering they don't have afternoons teas on their menu, They were ever so helpful and made up one especially for us. Nothing was a bother and it was all delicious. Would definitely go back:)e

En el norte a sur de Guisborough a pie kirkbymoorside, este era el único restaurante hasta el Lion Inn en Blakey. No esperábamos mucho nos sorprendió gratamente! Es un lindo y casita y aunque sólo tomamos té y bollos, todo fue genial y el servicio era amable (como en normalmente todos esos lugares en los páramos) parando en un gran punto de paseo!

Super little tea room in kildale,food is very nice,prices are reasonable staff are friendly,dog friendly with bowls of water for dogs,dogs are allowed in the tea room ,toilets are very clean,overall a lovely little place i would reccomend and will return

Popped in this lovely tea room for a drink and cake before we walked the dog. Had a milkshake and a caramel slice. Both were delicious. Staff friendly and polite. The dog even got given a dog biscuit. in the lovely village of kildale. We parked at kildale station just down road from cafe.

We arrived just 15 mins before closing and couldn't have received a warmer and more cheerful welcome . So refreshing for dogs to be so welcomed - with a biscuit or two! Very thoughtful. Lovely tea and delicious cake and scones. Excellent value for money. Would definitely recommend and we will certainly visit again. Thank you.

Excellent stop off point for walkers and cyclists, a small basic café serving quality food with a varied menu for all tastes,the scones and flapjack a must try. Very nice friendly staff nothing is too much trouble. A perfect stop off point when discovering the beautiful surrounding countryside.

We had a 5 mile circuit walk on part of The Cleveland Way from Gribdale Gate to Captain Cook's Monument, Kildale and Lonsdale. Our main destination was Glebe Cottage Cafe and Tearoom in Kildale.Coffee plays a big part in my reviews and my expectations were not that high. How wrong I was. One of us had a flat white, the other an Americano with milk on the side. We do not know what the brand was but it was quality. They did not skimp on it either as it was strong enough for us. Remarkably, they also offer instant for those who prefer it. We had Millionaire Shortbread and flapjack between us. Very generous portions, perfectly made. Millionaire Shortbread can sometimes be too sweet, here it was perfect. The flapjack had the perfect proportions of fruit, grain, etc.The atmosphere is pleasantly informal. You can also sit outside. The toilets were adequate and clean.On leaving I said to my wife that I will have to put something on Tripadvisor and she joked not to because if it becomes too popular we might not get a table next time we go. There will definitely be a next time.

This was one of our favourite haunts until it closed a few years ago. We are so pleased it has reopened and we recently visited whilst out for a walk. So glad we did, it looks so much cleaner and less cluttered than it had become but best of all the service and food is still as good. It's a shame it is so far from our home.

My friends and I visited this lovely little tea room today after a very long walk, only to discover no one had brought any money with them! After searching through our pockets we managed to scrape enough together to buy 3 hot drinks (we were a party of 5 meaning we would have to share drinks). The lovely lady serving us took pity on our plight and gave us 5 drinks for the price of 3. It definitely warmed us up and gave us the energy to make it back up the hill to captain cooks monument where we had parked. Thank you again, my faith in humankind has been restored

Pleasant tea room to end a walk or bike ride at the foot of Captain Cooks trail. It is basic, but quaint and clean, the surroundings are pleasant with lovely food making it ideal to drop in for a cup of coffee/cake at a reasonable price to round off your walk or cycle ride - mud is not objected to and dogs can sit with their owners at the picnic tables outside

Gorgeous food... nice big portions which is what you want after a long walk. Served by a gentleman (think he's the new owner/owner's partner) who was very welcoming and gave my neice and nephew a lolly. Thanks so much! Will ne back again soon.

I had heard that the cafe had reopened with new management so decided to take a drive to see for myself. I was so impressed by the new look cafe and it's friendly staff. The homemade soup and cake was second to none and I could have sat there drinking coffee all afternoon. I would recommend this cafe to not only walkers and cyclists, but to people who drive out for an afternoon coffee and bite to eat. The views are beautiful and the staff are really pleasant.

We have attended this tea room many times over the years either on foot or on bike. It is in a great location and the new owners have made some good changes. Gone is all the dust covered clutter but it is lacking in atmosphere and friendliness. On our most recent visit we sat outside. We observed the large number of negative signs that litter the seating area... do not move benches... do not park bikes here there or anywhere... do not do this that or the other. etc. they don't even provide water for passing walkers/bikers... who knows, treat these people well in their time of need and they will return. Perhaps if they didn't park the car in the centre of the seating area there would be space for a bike stand. They need to be more accommodating to the people who are their livelihood... !Also, my Americano came in a mug with most of it spilling out down the sides...it tasted more like a cheap cup of instant than a quality bean.

Met a friend here for an afternoon treat - I had tuna sandwich - a very generous one using lovely homemade bread, plus salad/crisps - very filling! The minestrone soup was amazing, a meal in itself, accompanied by thick bread. We shared a piece of lemon cake - very nice also. Service was fine.

Been a while since we were last here and to my surprise, new ownership/management. It's shows. We only had coffee-Latte. It was nice enough but not hot. A number of people in the group had sandwiches and we're happy with them. The issue here is the service. Not welcoming at all. Sadly, I wouldn't go back.

We had Saturday lunch here recently. Although the food was lovely and fresh and very tasty, the staff were less than welcoming and it wasn't as dog friendly as it makes out.

We were out one day walking from Clay Bank to Pinchinthorpe.By the time we got to Kildale we fancied a drink and something sweet.Stopped in for a piece of cake and a coffee.Great selection of walkers style food.Cake was very good.Also great range of food.

This cafe was a well earned rest at the end of day 4. A pot of tea for three which gave us six cups, good job as we were parched. A lovely scone with all the trimmings. Sat outside amongst the other walkers and cyclists as the weather was so nice. Lots of freshly baked cakes on offer as well as a variety of other food.

We were staying at The Old Rectory in Kildale and went for a late lunch before booking in. I had a 'just baked' cheese scone, which was delicious and my OH took advantage of the soup and toasted sandwich deal, both were excellent and quite large. Nice friendly staff/owners, but make sure that you arrive before 3 pm for any hot food, I think cakes and drinks are available until 4pm. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

We have called in here 3 or 4 times and always had the scones with clotted cream and jam, we have to share one as they are so enormous but delicious. We had been out walking last Friday (15 miles) and imagine our disappointment when it was closed!! Apparently it said on the window that it is now closed Tuesday's and Friday's, will keep this in mind. We then had to walk back 15 miles on an empty stomach

Have visited before but I've never had hot food. The vegetable broth was absolutely delicious and you've got to try their homemade cakes! Great service and reasonably priced, high quality food.

I have visited Glebe Cottage twice now. Each time we have had a lovely lunch and cakes after a walk in the area. Everything is fresh and homemade - nothing seems to be bought in from external suppliers. The bread is homemade and thickly cut. The sandwiches are huge! The cakes, flapjacks and tray bakes are all homemade. I had a delicious slice of lemon cake and took home a huge piece of brandy fruit flapjack. The coffees are well made and the owners are fine with giving out extra water and milk for your tea. And all in all, the food is so reasonably priced - I would be happy to pay more! The room itself is quaint and cosy, a home from home. I would recommend anybody to make a trip to this lovely tea room.

Glebe cottage is a quaint coffee/light lunch/high tea shop in the heart of Kildale, opening from 1100-1600 (may be closed some days mid week - maybe check). We called in whilst out for a walk with our dog (welcome inside and out) and had a welcoming reception, and a truly delicious cheese scone as well as coffee. Last summer we also had a fantastic lunch post walking. Kildale is a great area for walking, cycling etc and Glebe cottage is great for a refreshment stop before, during or after your walk - it's also a very pleasant drive out if you're not into walking! We will be calling in again soon

This is an amazing little place, which serves the most delicious food and it is all cooked on site, by Kat. She is the young and talented chef/patron and her love of cooking shows in every tasty morsel she produces. The sandwiches are delicious with hearty wholemeal bread and mouthwatering combinations. I had the bacon, brie and cranberry combo which I highly recommend. The homemade carrot soup was piping hot, tasty and there was plenty of it. Although by now, I was really full, I just had to try the millionaire's shortbread which should be renamed billionaire's shortbread. There was an inch of the most lucious caramel and I have never tasted better. You really should try this place and it is a lovely ride in the country to get there.

This place is an absolute gem! We often go walking around this area and always stop for a bite to eat because if we didn't we'd be missing out on a treat. A small tearoom added onto the end of a cottage. Look out for it because it could be easily missed with only a small sign. The food here is phenomenal good, hearty sandwiches, homemade soups and a delicious range of flapjacks and tray bakes. We've had lunch here 3 times with our family and all chosen different things. The food is amazing. A warm welcome is offered when you walk in and such a cosy,little place. So reasonably priced aswell especially good if you have a family - keeps the cost down. I would heartily recommend a walk around this area finished off with refreshments at The Glebe you won't be disappointed.

This cafe has just changed hands and I hope the new owners keep up the good reputation that the former ones had worked hard to establish. it is strategically situated on the Cleveland Way and is very popular with hikers, walkers and cyclists, as well as a lot of locals. Every one is welcome, and it offers a great range of cakes, sandwiches and scones, and hot favourites like bacon butties. There is a small bar. Muddy boots and dogs are allowed and in summer there is an outdoor sitting area to enjoy, which I have occasionally sat in with a group of local horse riders. My horse loves the flapjack!

I'm so pleased this cafe is back open as we always stop off on our walk and have been going for over 20 years! It's much cleaner and brighter. Food is still very good and service was great. Coffee is also lovely and still allows muddy boots, bums and dogs in. Very much missed the walkers broth but had a wonderful lunch regardless. As always we will be back for more, maybe for pancakes? ;)

Had a lovely new years warm up after country walk, dog friendly even got a bonio treat, fresh scone and bacon sandwich cooked to our taste. Will definatly visit again

Lovely tea room on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors, good selection of cakes scones and sandwiches. Cyclists welcome

My husband & I popped in this hidden gem on Saturday 28th and we were very surprised. This is a lovely cafe, the food is very nice & the new management are very friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely delightful!The new management have really got their act together following the reopening of this little North Yorkshire gem.Had soup and omelette, it was really tasty and good value. Will definitely return.

Despite taking a sabbatical, Colin & Heather still honoured the booking I made to use the bbq hut as part of my partners birthday surprise. We have visited Glebe Cottage before and we're just as satisfied then. The bbq facility was fantastic with everything you need. Colin & Heather were v helpful and made us welcome. Enjoy your sabbatical and hope to see you again soon... Many thanks

It's a while since I have been in (could have sworn I'd reviewed this before???) but I'm pleased to say it is as good as ever.Friendly owners and good homemade food at reasonable prices, especially in view of what you get. The cheese and pickle sandwich had the most filling in that I can remember and is just what you need at the end of a hard bike ride. With all the side salad and crisps it is very good value at £3.80.You also get a door stop portion of fruit loaf and it is always appreciated when you get hot water with the pot of tea.Closed on Thursdays.Very recommended.

We stop over here quite often on bike rides for a quick hot drink & snack. I've tried a few things from the menu, they are always excellent - fresh, home cooked & prepared food at the very highest quality, they don't skimp on the ingredients. My favourite combo has to be a latte and fruit scone with jam & cream - this is amazing. Well done to Heather and family on such a lovely little cafe. :)

We've called at Glebe Cottage many times - usually when walking, cycle trip or even called when horse riding. The food is great -[especially the home made soup on a cold day]. The portions are generous and the prices very reasonable. I do have to agree with Linnes 10 in respect of the decor needing some TLC but I can certainly live with the lace tablecloths - which have never been dirty when we've been there. The café is often busy and sometimes we have had to wait a while - but the food is always worth waiting for - and a pint of lager here is a real treat on a hot day!

Can't fault this place for tasty food, very reasonable prices, large portions and a wide range of varied and sometimes interesting choices (boursin omelette, halloumi on toast, wensleydale rarebit), 3 homemade soups and a vast range of sandwiches and toasties - averaging £4 or £5 - and most served with dressed salad, coleslaw & crisps; additionally there's the usual tearoom fare of hot & cold drinks, scones and cakes and ice cream). It's even licensed (£15 for a bottle of Prosecco) and sells hot spiced homemade elderberry cordial (£1.70). Well, it is winter now! We had welsh rarebits - loads of tasty cheddar and slices of tomato on two rounds of white loaf, dressed salad, coleslaw & crisps. Vast!A bonus is that dogs are allowed indoors - and the owner's little girl has even put up a poster offering dog-walking/ playing services for £2 an hour!Service was friendly, and the place is really quirky - with knitted stuff for sale on every surface and shelf . You can buy knitted dishcloths, knitted toys, knitted hats, knitted scarves, knitted children's clothes; secondhand books (mostly children's). There's a good range of local preserves- chutneys, jams, honey for sale, too.My only reservation is that it is very shabby and outdated (Austrian blinds, scuffed chairs and dirty-looking faded seat pads, and I'm not too sure lace tablecloths are hygienic these days). The toilets are a bit damp, seventies-ish and could do with an update. It all looks like it needs some TLC and de-cluttering. I'd have given it 5/5 if the environment hadn't made me feel that it might be a bit dusty. It probably isn't! But it is primarily a walkers' café, so I guess it doesn't need to be chic. And at these prices, tastes and portions, it's churlish of me to complain!

We were recommended to go here and boy is it worth it. Even though it was being caretaker cared for, the service was great, and the cakes were fantastic. The position on the Cleveland Way is spot on and the views from the outside seating area is great. The prices are fine and it was a lovely time well spent.

We've been to Glebe a fair few times, and frankly, the food is great, the portions enormous and the people are just plum nice. The atmosphere is just right and more people should go here!

Visit the Glebe regularly, fantastic little place with some of the best homemade food I've ever tried. The sandwiches and soups are my favourite things on the menu! The owners are always lovely and inviting. Would definitely recommend.

We always pop here on our bike rides. Great food and great service, definitely worth a visit.Lovely to sit outside in the summer.
