Hobb's Cafe in Derbyshire Dales

Charming Cafe it is. The coffee is very good. The photos of table laid with cutlery and napkins and lovely decor enticed us drive out to Monsal Head where we know the views are wonderful to have a light lunch. BUT We sat at a table and although the place was empty ( very rainy outside ) the staff didn’t acknowledge us, say hello even or explain it is counter service only. If you are expecting food, think again. No meals, No sandwiches, No baked potatoes or anything substantial, just a few cakes, savoury pies and sausage rolls Most disappointing. Wasted journey. WILL NOT VISIT AGAIN. Hassop Station nearby saved the day fortunately.

Friendly welcome from good staff. Flat entrance and toilet available for customers. Coffee very good and selection of cake and pasties, sausage rolls etc. Nice atmosphere and surroundings in 3 rooms take out also available.

Cute, quirky café run by a really lovely family. Barista coffees and THE most tempting cake counter. I love the eccentric decor of upcycled antiques and local art set against vibrant coloured walls. The views are just stunning (and even more so from their holiday let). Accessed via a separate entrance, there’s also an Enchanted Emporium selling Snugburys ice creams, pic n mix and more. I’ve always found staff to be really friendly and helpful.

Impressed by the reviews and came to see the viaduct, thought we’d grab a quick lunch. Asked to see the menu and the lady behind the counter just pointed to the small display of cakes. Very strange given the amazing reviews on here, thought we were in the wrong place! Disappointing when it’s such a beautiful spot, won’t return

Great spot and lovely food hospitality towards us was fantastic will be returning views are unbelievable the sausages are from a local butchers and you don’t half taste the differences

What a great find, well located on the Monsal Trail over looking the valley. Atmospheric interior in the older part of the cafe and some more modern seating areas too. Good range of snacks and drinks and friendly service. Well worth a call if walking through the area but very popular so be prepared to wait for a table.

Visited yesterday with a large hiking group. The owners and staff were very friendly, welcoming and accomodating. The cafe is really warm and cosy and there is a good selection of pastries, cakes and hot food. I had a pot of tea and a scone with jam and clotted cream - the perfect end to our hike. Other people in the group had sandwiches and soup and it all came out promptly (paticularly given how many of us there were!) and it all looked delicious!

We only had coffee and tea but the cakes and sandwiches looked good too . Does very good business from walkers. The best decaf coffee I have for ages

Lovely spot at the start of a great walk. Quick service despite being very busy. My only regret was choosing a sausage roll as the sandwiches looked absolutely delicious.

A beautiful warm and cozy cafe. The gentleman who owns the store is very friendly and knowledgeable on baked goods. The cronuts are devine.

My partner and I stopped here for a drink earlier this week after finishing a decent walk in the area. We only wanted a little bite to eat and a drink so I had a hot chocolate and a sausage roll and my other half had a latte and a Chicken Tikka pasty. My hot chocolate was very tasty (although bizarrely it was not listed as a drink on the menu), the sausage roll however I could’ve done without to be honest; it may have been that it just wasn’t to my taste but I wasn’t a fan. My partner’s drink and food were very nice apparently so top marks there. Perfect location to stop at after a walk.

Great view miserable staff, no pleasantries just bank your order on the counter and carry on chatting-other customers saying similar.

visited mid afternoon for cake. luckily we had eaten dinner in Bakewell as although they do hot food none was available that day. but we were just glad it was open! 2 coffees, 2 cakes at £17.nt cheap but was quite nice. would visit again

The dog and I were so happy to see this place after getting most of the way round on a huge, snowy trek. She had a sausage roll, I had a hot chocolate and both of them were absolutely beautiful (I let the speed of the sausage roll’s consumption be an indicator of the dog’s opinion). Thank you so much for the friendly service and warm, cosy surroundings while we waited. We will be back!

What a pleasure to pop into the warm, cozy, holiday decorated cafe and sit by the fire with my perfect cappuccino & cronut on a rainy day. Thank you @HobbsCafe for literally being shelter from the storm. Your holiday vibe is delightful!

This is a little hidden gem in The Peak District, I’ve visited a couple of times now and it’s a great little place to call in while in the peaks. The food is always nice and fresh and the staff are nice and friendly. Well worth a visit.

Good choice of savoury pastries, quiches, soups, jacket potatoes. Also lots of sweet options. Lovely friendly staff. Cafe is at Monsal Head so fabulous views.

After a lunchtime visit back in the summer, I asked Kim if she would consider catering for a large gathering in a nearby holiday home. She was very accommodating and flexible. As they have a pizza oven, we settled on a selection of pizzas with accompanying salads and a choice of puddings. This was all delivered to us promptly for our Saturday evening meal. The food was superb and plentiful; communication was friendly and efficient and Nick even carried everything into the kitchen for us. We will definitely order again if available next year.

Please, give the new family oriented owners a chance. Yes, things have changed, for the better! Open 7, repeat SEVEN days a week serving delicious home made produce with a lovely smile. Love what you’ve doing, and you deserve to do well. All the best!

After visiting many times previously (up till covid times i think) we were so disappointed today in our visit. We had travelled a good way to get there and immediately could tell it was run differently. No gift shop, no hot food after 2. Latte was pipping hot ✔️ however it is definitely not a cafe a tea shop yes. We couldn't have hot food (as after 2) But waitress came out about 3 with a lovely sausage sandwich. Next customer asked for a scone was told there weren't any Next customer asked for a cold can and there were none out. We were only there 30 mins and that was 3 sets of customers who couldn't have what they wanted. No thank you when we left despite 3 girls behind the counter and hardly any customers. I do hope we caught you on a very bad day as I feel sadly your business will struggle as there won't be return business.

Great little cafe: cosy, comfy, great views, friendly staff, good range of cakes and sandwiches, excellent tea and coffee. Very nice decor too, good place to relax and recover after a stroll down to the viaduct!

Not been here for a while and assuming it's a new owner? Service with a huge smile on this occasion. What a wonderful visit. Great coffee, delicious fruit crumble slice. We sat outside on the lovely terrace. Thank you, we shall be back soon 😊

Great little spot with beautiful views, efficient and friendly staff and owners. Didn’t eat, but the food coming out looked lovely. Definitely worth a visit!!

Popped in here a couple if times on holiday with the family. Recently taken over and the new owners and staff were so friendly and helpful. The coffee was excellent (especially my wifes the decaf) and the breakfast rolls and breakfast we had were fantastic. Highly recommended for a stop off and a bite, well done to the new owners !!

Having been regular clients with last owners . Today was our 2nd visit with new ones and will be our last!! Both times were between 1.30 and 2 pm. First time we were told they had no scones today we were told they had only one left. This is no way to run a cafe which should have scones all day.

Very welcoming cafe with a fantastic selection of cakes, plus a gluten free option too! Perfect rest stop whilst taking a break from the lashing rain.

What a warm and delicious welcome back to @hobbscafe.monsal. Place looks fab,new colours and stunning decor plus , of course the yummiest cakes and expanded menu. I had the feta, spinach and sun dried tomato and it was the best ever. The high tea is also amazing. Highly recommend, even better than last time !!

Pleased to find that Hobbs has reopened with new owners and is open 6 days a week, closed on Tuesdays. We chose a quiche with salad. We were given lovely warm individual quiches with crisp pastry and a tasty filling, a fresh salad, potato salad and a tabbouli-type salad - all delicious and very good value! There was a nice selection of slices and cakes but sadly we were full....

The owners of the cafe and all staff are so friendly and hospitable. We called in there with our little one who needed a break in the journey and everyone was so childfriendly and helped us find the perfect spot to look after the needs of our little one. A hot cup of tea and delicious ice cream madr our stay perfect. Can highly recommend!

Took my Grandson this afternoon for ice cream but on arrival, he decided he would rather have a kitkat, kids.I asked for a KitKat and was charged £1.20 THAT HAS TO BE A RECORD PRICE FOR A KITKAT. Bradwell Ice Cream watch out because the van has your name all over it and you make wonderful Ice Cream .... But I will not be going back. Like the last review, I have probably only written 3 in my lifetime

It is rare that I take the time to review a cafe, but I was so shocked by how rude the man behind the counter was . There was a family in front of me queuing to get in. They were told to either come in and shut the door or leave . I slipped past the family to find the ladies , and was shouted at by the same man. He asked where I was going in a very abrupt loud voice . When I answered , I was told I would have to wait and to go back outside . There were 6 in my party, all hungry, looking forward to some lunch . We left without even sitting at a table . Having read several reviews, it is abundantly clear that we were not the only customers who have been spoken to in this manner by this rude man . What a shame !

We have walked many times to Hobbs cafe at Monsal Head and have had many delicious lunches. Having checked the website to make sure the cafe was open, we walked without a packed lunch from Ashford in the water, only to find just an ice-cream hut selling small tea and coffee for £2.50! UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE!!

Great little can serving fab ice cream! Lovely little treasure with gorgeous views! It was delicious and enjoyed by all!

This afternoon my husband I walked on the Monsal Trail.Desperate for an ice cream I requested 2 at £3 each from the ice cream man.As I was waiting for a napkin, one of my ice creams fell off the cone (I didn’t move at all!)A dog came running over and licked it all up.I really thought the man would replace the ice cream, but he just said ‘that’s it’ not showing any sympathy or intention to even give me any at all.It just so surprised me and I walked away with 1 cone and 1 ice cream costing £6.Surely it wouldn’t have hurt to show some generosity as it was his fault for not placing the ice cream appropriately in the first place!The remaining ice cream was delicious, but I definitely won’t be going back and have told all my friends and family.

This area is beautiful and worth the climb from the Monsail trail up some very slippery steps to appreciate the view. We thought we’d treat ourselves to an ice cream from Hobbs, but wow the non existent greeting from the lady who served us couldn’t have been more miserable if she tried. The cafe itself is beautiful, plenty of tables and log fires roaring. The menu and cakes looked equally inviting and we would have been tempted to have more than ice cream had we felt more welcome. However the lady serving barely spoke and it didn’t look like she had smiled for years.A couple in front of us were served with the same lack of interest and this really reduced any warm atmosphere in the cafe.Such a shame, greeting customers with a simple smile can make all the difference.

My friend and I stopped here by chance for a late light lunch. The Earl Grey tea, (loose leaf) was dry good and just the tonic on a warm day. I had the last spiced carrot and lentil soup, served with a thick slice of granary bread and butter (delicious). My friend had the stolen, apricot and walnut quiche. This came with a mix of salads and the small bit I tased was surprisingly good. The views are amazing - we sat outside and met Tinker the dog and admired the view. Worth a stop and look at the menu, they sell cakes too!

Visited Hobbs Cafe at the start of our walk along the Monsal Trail. It was busy and we found a seat inside - the scones were lovely - very fresh and served with plenty of jam and cream. The views from the garden are fantastic. There is a small art gallery and a little shop at the back.Toilets were adequate!

Called in here after a wander around the trail.Sat outside to make the most of the view from the front of the cafe.We had a pot of tea and a milkshake, cheese and tomato toastie and a tuna jacket potato.The tea came with extra water, a first for the my pots of tea this week. The milkshake came with extra too.The food was good very good.

The Banana Cake was delicious and topped with a passion fruit icing. Coffee was good, but the cake definitely beats everything else.

The cafe was adequate for a quick drink but relies on the viewpoint outside their doors to attract custom as their service and food certainly isn’t anything to visit for. On entering with my husband and 3 month old in a pushchair we went to sit down only for the man behind the counter to shout “can you take that round the back”. We thought the comment had just been worded poorly, and that he couldn’t have possibly called a child ‘that’, only to find a message on the menu saying “children and dogs welcome if on leads!” I’ll never return and hope that the business owners get sufficient custom from people not travelling with children as they’re unlikely to get any families revisiting if that’s the treatment they receive.

Came across this tea room after walking along the Monsal Trail. Conveniently located right at the top of Monsal Head, with sweeping views down the valley. Outside seating available or you can find a spot in the cute interiors. Nice selection of cakes, scones and toasties. We had milkshakes and a cheese scone, which were excellent. Has a little arts centre out the back where you can buy all sorts of cars, pictures and other trinkets.

we had lunch here during our stay, such a stunning view and a great little cafe - no gluten free options as such on the menu, but we had jacket potatoes and totally enjoyed them, with a fantastic pot of tea, sat looking at the Peak District. Lovely little craft and gift shop at the back of the shop too. Staff were friendly and inviting and enjoyed our visit

We sat outside on the warmest day of the year; lovely views, excellent coffee and snacks; warm and friendly service.

We stopped here after walking 6 miles and it was a very welcome break. Great service, delicious cheese scones and chilli jam, yummy. Thank you!

Great service , great location, great atmosphere, great food and tea ... perfect ..

Tea and cake at Hobb's café - Monsal Head - is an excellent precursor to a good walk in the surrounding hills and dales.

Excellent service. Beautiful food and excellent coffee! Lovely staff. We had the scones and they were to die for, we even bought some to take away with us.

Came here with the family and never experienced such a rude man who served us! First of all he came to the table and said “put the menus away” then placed down the wrong order. When I said it was wrong he said “well you did order it” NO I HADN’T! I couldn’t enjoy my drink after because of how rude he was. WILL NEVER BE COMING BACK AGAIN! Avoid this place like the plague!

I have lived in Derbyshire all my life and I can tell there is no better scone in Derbyshire than here. You get a huge pot of tea and hot water so you can have 3 cups each if you want.

We visited this cafe today and I honestly can’t get over how rude the man behind the till was. Not only was he rude, he mocked me too. This was in front of other customers, one of them commented to me after. I’m in such shock and never experienced anything like it. AVOID if you don’t want your day ruined or to be left feeling upset.

Despite the best attempts of a miserable few people, this is a amazing spot to rest and enjoy a drink and delicious food One of those places that makes life a little better

The cafe accepts people in muddy boots if you put boot covers on - available for free at the door. The small rooms have blazing log fires in them. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is delicious. The little craft shop n the back has a nice range of goods for sale too. The only slight drawback is that the toilets, like in may places, are very cold!

Spent several hours here with friends, meaning we had ample opportunity to sample a variety of items from the menu. There's not a huge list, but everything we had was well-presented and very tasty. The service was excellent, and staff were very friendly.

This is the place to stop and have afternoon tea when touring this area. We had the mushroom and tarragon soup which was very tasty. It gets very busy, no doubt because of its location and quality of food/service. Well worth a visit.

Very miserable owner/manager. Food limited and very expensive. Take a packed lunch and sit on the wall for a better view.

Lovely friendly cafe with good coffee and excellent scone. Good service. Location with amazing views.

Attended after a long wet walk with my husband, brother and toddler. Found a warm welcome and great service. They were very accommodating of a very fidgety 2 year old and found everyone (including Tinker the spaniel) very friendly. No idea what people are harping on about in some of these reviews!

Have stopped here numerous times for food which has always been excellent. However we arrived today in the wet and were turned away because of the dog. Your either pet friendly or you aren’t

We stopped here for our lunch after a sunny walk around this beautiful area.

I read so many negative reviews about this place which also put me off going there. The service was absolutely friendly and the cakes delicious. There was fire roaring in one of the rooms which made it very cosy. Absolutely lovely place (maybe best to go off season?) not to mention the location and the views.

My parents (who don't have a tripadvisor account) visited here at the weekend and wanted to say the following about their experience: "Having walked specially from Litton to Hobb's Cafe, my wife and I were incredibly disappointed to be greeted by a gentleman rudely instructing us to put blue covers over our boots before we went. We fully respect thst some cafes do not accept muddy boots but the way in which it was said was incredibly rude and to make matters worse, our boots weren't even dirty! Moreover, the staff did not serve in a friendly manner and we found the food/drink to be overpriced. In hindsight, we wish we had gone elsewhere. Unfortunately, we will not be making a return visit" - Andrew and Karen Fox

Stopped here after a good days walk. Coffee and cake were both very good and cafe in great location. Only gripe was I was ignored for around 5 mins on arrival, yes it was busy but a quick 'be there in a minute' wouldn't have gone amiss.

This is a huge claim but I think they make the best scones I have ever eaten at Hobbs cafe! It is the perfect cafe to have a cup of tea and a homemade cake in after a long walk around Monsal head! The cakes are all homemade and delicious. The staff are so friendly and make you feel really welcome. You must come here and try a cake!

Had walked here from Ashford and we decided we deserved a treat so had the scones with jam and cream. The scones were generous in size and very fresh. Yum!

Went in here last week for a cuppa and something to eat and was charged a staggering £7 for a cheese toastie, 2 slices of bread with cheese in, and that's it!! disgraceful pricing and just a rip off.

Stopped for a snack on our day out. Lovely pot of tea for two and scones, the scones were so good we ordered more. Stunning views sitting outside and very friendly staff. Dog friendly which is a bonus.

Being on a dog walking holiday and staying nearby, we wanted somewhere to eat around 10am after a walk along the Monsal Trail. So this cafe was ideal. Seating outside for us with the dog, and shaded too much to our relief.

Having walked the length of Cressbrook Dale and up past the Monsal Head viaduct in a temperature of about 28C we were looking for somewhere to recover. We found it sitting in the shade outside Hobb's Cafe where we received a very warm welcome, hot reviving coffee and a delicious scone, cream and jam. And the view's not bad as well.

Fantastic quality food and impressive selection of teas and other drinks. We can highly recommend the Derbyshire oatcake served folded and hot with local blue cheese and good quality ham. I always say that a good indicator of the quality of a place is their side salad. This was divine, spiced with plump sultanas and a gorgeous courgette, cucumber and tomato salad. They also sell genuine Sicilian canoli which are to die for. I would come back to Monsal head just to have lunch here.

There are limited places to chose from within the area and this possibly make a warm welcome unecessary at Hobbs. We apparently were Invisible. No introduction, I think you're supposed to grab a table and order at the till, which is what we ended up doing. Limited selection which is sectioned off in to times too.it you decide you fancy and ice cream you'll be sent outside to get that from the van as they don't do this indoors. The pub next door was much friendlier and I noticed they do breakfasts too. I'll stick to where my custom is appreciated.

We visited here whilst cycling on the Monsal Trial. We locked our bikes on the viaduct on the Monsal Trial and walked up the steep path to Hobb's Cafe. We were served quickly and our order was delivered promptly to our table outside in the garden. We had 2 coffees, diet coke, Scone, brownie and flapjack. Good quality coffee. Cake's were brilliant and homemade. My daughter said her brownie was the best she'd ever tasted, I would have to agree. Nice outside garden terrace with great views. Also convenient toilet stop if you are cycling the Monsal Trial. Downside is the price, £16. Seemed about £2-£3 too much. But I guess they've got to allow for month's when it might be quieter. I would give it 8 out of 10.

Like most people, my fiancé and I were cycling the Monsal Trail and had heard about a lovely place just up from the last tunnel on the trail before Bakewell. We locked up our bikes and hiked up the hill to see what our choices were.

We called here today during our walk to Monsal head, what a lovely place, tea, and cake..and a lovely welcome. We will definitely call again next year....we are on holiday in this beautiful place...and renew our acquaintance with Mr Lambe and of course Tinker.

This is one of my favourite cafes. The cheese scones with chilli jam really are incredible! The staff have been nothing but friendly every time we’ve visited and we took our new rescue dog today and he was warmly welcomed. I’m adding a photo of the loo to show that it’s clearly available for customers, despite a previous comment (perhaps that’s changed of course!) I honestly wonder if some of the negative reviews are from other local cafe owners, because in around ten visits now, I’ve been nothing but delighted by the food and service.

Went on a treasure hunt with my friends and their children, finished off at Monsal Head. Was about to go into this cafe when the man that runs it’s told my son, who was playing outside, to ‘Be quiet’. My son is 6 years old and autistic, he was having a great time outside until this very rude individual attempted to put a stopper on his fun. We will definitely steer clear in future as it seems fun is not permitted in or around this cafe.

Nice little cafe at Monsal Head with wonderful views of Monsal Dale. Walkers are welcome and the owners thoughtfully provide disposable overshoes for those with muddy boots, although quite a lot of folk didn’t seem to realise what they are for.

Friendly service and a wonderful light, fruity scone with clotted cream. Yum! All the other cakes looked great, too. This is an amazing spot - what a view!

Nice cakes but you need to take out a second mortgage to buy one. Costs considerably more for tea and cake than buying lunch elsewhere nearby. Wouldn’t be so bad if you were served with a smile but sadly not the case here. I get the feeling that this cafe is aimed at well-to-do pensioners who have walked straight in from the car park outside rather than the vast majority of the clientele of the Peak District. Add to that the fact that they clearly have an aversion to anyone who looks like they’ve been enjoying the countryside right outside the front door (man on till barked ‘do something about your boots’ before I was allowed in) and that the toilet is covertly marked as ‘staff only’ to deter people from using it and I won’t be rushing back. Much nicer places to visit nearby. Only saving grace is that the kitchen and waiting staff were pleasant!

Mocha coffee and simnel cake were so good and a lovely place to visit while out for a walk. Well priced.

Myself and my wife and various friends have visited this cafe on numerous occasions, all the way from Nottingham. We have always found the owner, Ray, to be extremely friendly. He goes out of his way to welcome us and if possible sit down and have a chat. As my wfie is black I found the allegation of racism, not to mention the various accusations of rudeness by a small minority of customers absolutely mystifying. I suspect it is more a case of not suffering fools. Food is always wholesome and delicious, some of the best scones and lasagne you will find. Wonderful setting too.

a lovely place to have tea and cake and took 4 of the grandchildren in with us for hot chocolate and muffins ...staff were very good with the children and was very clean inside and out ... will visit again for sure when in area

Most of our walking in Derbyshire involves a cafe at some point, sort of a reward for the effort. There's a few to choose from around the Peak District, but Hobbs is most definitely one of our 2 favourites. Nothing against the others, but Hobbs seem to have got the formula just right - all home made cakes and food, friendly service and a great location with stunning views.

Situated in the heart of the most amazing Derbyshire countryside,Hobbs Cafe,compliments the stunning views with a range of tasty sandwiches, hot meals, cakes coffees and teas all made to the highest of standards.A clean and light environment with a homely feel about it.The staff are friendly and welcoming and the coffee was one of the best we have had(and we've had a few!).I would usually eulogise about a cafe quite so much but this was exceptional in every way

This place was recommended to us for it's prime location and tasty food. It certainly delivered on the former although I personally feel the latter was overpriced

We had a short diversion from our walk on the Monsal Trail, up a steep path to visit Hobb's Cafe, which provided a welcome break. The outside seating looked enticing but it was a bit cool so we went inside. The cafe is very nicely decorated and set out, with a quaint atmosphere. The tea and scones were lovely. Our only gripe is that we are both allergic to dogs and after we had sat down a group with two dogs sat right next to us, and as a result we had to leave quickly. Perhaps a part of the cafe could be designated as a dogs welcome area?

Hobbs Cafe, What a wonderful place the food it absolutely amazing, home made extremely tasty and beautifully presented,excellent coffee, teas and cold drinks with a fabulous range of cakes, a really delightful day with my friend

Although a welcome stop, the most expensive coffee of our walking holiday, nearly £6 for two coffees. Great views from the outside seating.

Hobbs cafe overlooks the stunning monsal trail and affords superb views right across the valley. Serving good tea and coffee and delicious light lunches and cakes it is well worth a visit.

Lovely cafe , great views , good service and reasonable traditional food, however £7 for a cheese and ham toastie a little steep. If we weren't so hungry we would have ventured elsewhere ...

What a little gem this cafe is at Monsal Head looking out over the viaduct. Dog Friendly inside and out. Outside, there is tiered decking with a small area with some fancy breed chickens. Bird feeders, visited by blue tits in abundance just feet away from you. Soya milk available and a plethora of home made cakes, including some gluten and dairy free. Staff were friendly, welcoming and nothing appeared to be too much trouble. A wonderful little find. Make sure it's on your itinerary, if you're in the area.

A teashop with the most fantastic view, excellent service and friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Seating indoor or outdoor. Separate Ice Cream van (Hobbs) outside. Situated at the very top of Monsal Head - you could just sit and take in the views and watch others clamber up and down the wooded walk to the viaduct below.

Large portions. Fruit scone was warm, fluffy yet not overly sweet. Tea was perfectly brewed. Scenery is spectacular. Dog friendly, so long as it behaves.

I called into the cafe on my way back to London - I had a lovely cheese scone and tea whilst enjoying the view but left a bag behind with an unstamped birthday card. I rang (after hours) and the owners very kindly posted the birthday card for me and posted my bag back. Thank you

We called in at Hobb's Cafe last weekend, on a long circular walk from Bakewell. It has a great location high up above the famous viaduct view down Monsal Dale. We grabbed one of the outside tables to make the most of the views, and ordered two teas and a carrot cake.

Went here as a group of 10 friends after a fab walk in Monsaldale. Sat out in the sun enjoying excellent coffee and the wonderful Stilton and walnut scones with pear relish. A delightful place to end a perfect walking weekend. Go there - you won't be disappointed!!

Friendly staff, homemade cakes & ice cream available at this combined Tea Room & Craft Shop. All to be commended and recommended

We stopped here for refreshments after walking from Ashford in the Water undertaking the scenic Monsal trail. Staff were extremely pleasant and the coffee excellent. sat outside in the sunshine, plenty of seating both inside and out.

We dropped in here for a drink having been in Ashford for the morning. We sat outside as it was warm enough. They have bird feeders and a chicken run so it attracts some nice birds. Obviously the views are to die for. The staff were very friendly. We might have had a bite for lunch too, but were planning on eating out that evening so when we saw the prices we declined and saved ourselves for later. The drinks were great though.

We stumbled across this place whilst walking the Monsal Trail. Convenient mid point and with the option to eat outside, what a view to enjoy whilst recharging the batteries. Its all light bites and I chose the quiche - and I have to say this was the best quiche I have ever eaten. It was warm the stilton gently melting and the almond crispy topping was amazing as was the very light and buttery pastry. Accompanied with cous cous, butter beans, salad, bread and butter, this was infact a hearty snack and v filling. But not too heavy for the remainder of the trail.

Back sandwich cost £7 and when I asked if I could have an egg in it they said no So I can't recommend it.
