H&f Cafe in South Lakeland

If you want healthy food this is the place to visit.

Good, old fashioned tea room. Warm and cosy. Good tea in a massive tea pot. Excellent toasted tea cake. In contrast to some of the recent reviews, we found them very friendly (and have on previous visits). It is up for sale. Hope the new owners don't change it too much!

Just popped in for coffee. Good friendly service and very nice coffee, priced as you would find elsewhere. Didn't eat but the display of pies and cakes looked tempting. Gluten free cakes available as well.

Not what I expected. WiFi was only available in the bar area and not at all in the room and the bar area was only available for very limited hours. I'm not the first to write a review complaining about WiFi, but clearly the owners have taken no heed. Hot water was tepid when we arrived mid afternoon. Asked staff about both wifi and hot water, was told that they would check. Didn't happen. While the hotel is well-located, the bed comfortable and the room clean the poor facilities and service leave me no choice but to warn potential guests to think again before booking here

We were a large party of 12 but unfortunately no-one can book a table on a Sunday! This is rare these days as people like to plan their mel times. We knew this is advance as we had been before. We waited for a short while and then the table was ready. This wasn't 1 table but we were spread across 3 separate tables which couldn't be put together and some had to sit elsewhere. This happened last time and this time we thought they would only allocate eating when it was ready for the whole party. Most went for the carvery. The vegetables were very good and the turkey really moist but the beef was so tough that you really needed a steak knife to cut through it. Overall a disappointing experience based upon the service, food quality and price/value for money.
