Lowther Barn Cafe in Eden

This barn was pretty much abandoned the last time I walked this way some 20 years ago. Discovering a walker's cafe was a very welcome surprise. Good cakes, excellent coffee and an excellent variety of local ice cream. Yas was a friendly and polite hostess, who also told is the best vantage point to see Scalehow Force on our walk back to Patterdale. Its isolated location means you're unlikely to go out of your way to visit, but do stop if passing. There are good views over Ullstwater from the outside tables, and welcome shelter inside it it's raining.

Delicious ice cream, and everything else looked fantastic, especially the cakes. Views to die for too. An oasis on the walk between Glenridding and How Town.

The experience was great , really great little cafe in glorious place and Jaz was a wonderful hostess, she made us extremely welcome , was very helpful and really made the visit enjoyable.Thanks Prter

We stopped here on our way from Howton Pier back to Glenridding and it was a most welcome stop. Nice cake and tea, though not overwhelming broad selection. We were clever enough to use the loos before continuing our trip, which is really to be recommended. Still took us a very long time to arrive at our final destination...

Very unexpected to find this place here, walking back to Glenridding from the Howtown stop on the ferry. The owners were super friendly and welcoming. We stopped and chatted to them over tea and cakes. Great little cafe. Recommended.

Lovely little place to stop on our walk, wasn’t expecting to find such a gem in the middle of nowhere! Jas was very friendly and welcoming and the coffee and ice cream were just what we needed.

Lowther tea room was an absolute delight to find after walking from glenridding a few days ago.friendly service,good food,beautiful surroundings,clean and a glorious view

Walking in the lake district is a wonderful way to pass your time, but, its even better when you come across a café for some welcome refreshments. Lovely service, very clean and welcoming.

Nice find on our walk made better by the excellent service we received. Lovely chat and a great break

Great ice cream and coffee, especially for such a long walk! Walked from Howtown - Glenridding and don't think we would have survived without. Amazing woman working there too!

Thank you to the lovely lady that served us at the tea room today. A much welcome break and wonderful service. Lovely chatting with you making our brief visit most welcoming.

We stopped off at The Lowther Barn Tearoom whilst walking part of the Ullswater Way. All 9 of us had a very yummy ice cream and sit down, with a lovely view. Just what we needed! Jas was so helpful and lovely to chat to, she was kind enough to find the ferry time table for us too! Highly recommend making this a stop on your walk, the perfect little pit stop with ice cream, cakes, refreshments and great service!

Very friendly server and great ice cream!. After 3 hours of hiking, the cafe was a lovely place to stop.

I didn’t even know this gem existed but was delighted to discover it with my wife and kids lagging behind, an excellent place to stop and recharge. It was closing time but once I asked the lady if she could just not close for five minutes and she saw my family lagging behind, she stayed open and for more than five minutes. Very friendly service and efficient, I will definitely be visiting again and have recommended the route and cafe to many others, thank you for serving us after closing.

Lovely little stop on the walk back to Glenridding. Ice-cream was just what we needed and the server was really friendly!

Visited here with friends, made a special effort to go out of our way to find it. We thought it would be a little gem in the middle of nowhere!!!........How wrong could we have been!!......Absolutely horrible lady behind the counter. Think we disturbed her from...

what a lovely surprise to find this cafe run by a lovely girl on her own who could not do enough for us. was not expecting to find a cafe as very isolated spot. people need to realise that she has to physically carry on...

Highly disappointed after visiting at the weekend to see an extremely rude owner speaking and treating customers with total disrespect......Needless to say we won't be visiting again!

Very very rude host..was happy arguing with a lady cyclist for no reason..nasty attitude...hopefully we just hit on a wrong day..people saying lovely hosts..this carnt be the usual.she was on her phone and it was quite apparent we were disturbing her time.horrid person.il bypass the...

numerous times I have passed this building, you have to be very very lucky to find it open, pandemic or not.

An amazing little place worth a visit doing any walks around this area, really friendly staff. Amazing food with a great atmosphere.

Welcome position mid-walk along the shore of Ullswater. Antonias is so friendly. The view is amazing and the cake was yummy.

Wow, what a surprise on the Howtown to Glenridding walk!! In what seems like the middle of no-where, a pristine cafe with lovely food appears. Great food and service, a must stop on this walk.

We stopped here on a lakeside walk from Howtown to Glenridding. The carrot cake was fabulous, and the view was stunning. The guy serving was really friendly. They had lots of cake and ice cream options, and it's well worth dropping in for a coffee.

Fantastic coffee and amazing ice cream with stunning views over the lake - we saw this in the Ullswater Way trail guide and it was even better than we hoped! Will definitely be back when we do the Glenridding to Howtown leg of the Ullswater...

Stopped here mid walk. Really nice people serving here and the coffee and cake were a delight. When we do the walk again we will be in here.

Whilest walking the trek 26 came across thus little gem , the best americarno coffee and carrot cake yet 😋 lovely staff I will certainly visit again x

So pleased to see Lowther Barn Cafe open and learn it's open during the school holidays. Enjoyed a welcome cup of tea and ice creams whilst taking in the view across the lake. Fantastic spot and lovely service.

Lowther Barn cafe is a pleasure to visit, and was a welcome retreat during our recent Ullswater walk. Shoqit and his team cared for us like old friends and gave us the warmest of welcomes. We arrived the day before their official opening for 2021,...

Unquestionably, the best coffee shop in the area! I’m so thankful that I was able to find this spot for some cold drinks and hot, I also had an amazing carrot cake, scone and fruit tea cake. The atmosphere inside this coffee shop was very...

Creo que hay un problema con The Lowther Barn Tearoom que escuché hace un tiempo que estaba cerrado. Sin embargo, se conecta en línea para buscar y, según su sitio web, se suponía que abriría hoy entre las 11 a.m. y las 4 p.m.Pasamos a las 15:20 y nos decepcionó encontrarlo cerrado. Sabemos que el clima no ha sido bueno durante el fin de semana y podemos aceptar que el número de visitantes puede estar bajo, pero usted tiene que aceptar lo difícil con lo suave y si usted dice vas a estar abierto, ¡entonces deberías estar abierto!Propietarios: no sé cuál es el problema; o por qué no estaba abierto, pero si el negocio está cerrado temporalmente, entonces necesita actualizar sus diversos listados indicando que está temporalmente cerrado y por cuánto tiempo; y si está permanentemente cerrado, indíquelo. Muchas personas han venido a esperar que el lugar esté abierto y usted es la única parada de refrigerios entre Howtown y Patterdale.¡Por favor resuelva su negocio! De lo contrario, proporcionará una experiencia decepcionante para los clientes potenciales.

There is a sign saying its closed and thank you for all your support. So, I dont think this is opening this year. This is thesecond time we have been passed this year and both times closed. Be warned, dont expect to refuel!

In their 4th season. You cannot get there by car. It is on the Ullswater lakeside walk. Best scones ever tasted. Great coffee. and they have a couple of rooms. Modern interior. The views and walks from cafe are spectacular.

I never knew about this place until today. Excellent coffee, excellent food and excellent environment too. Prices extremely reasonable, which is very hard to find for the Lake District.Friendly staff who had no issues about making me a strong coffee. Served hot, which again is becoming hard to find as most places serve it lukewarm at best.Definitely made my bike ride worth getting soaked and covered in mud. A hidden gem which makes everyone feel welcome. A credit to both the people who own it and the wonderful people who run it so well. Thank you!

We arrived at this cafe after 5 hours of walking along the beautiful fells and we were greeted with a friendly smile, even though they were closing, the staff served us without any issue and told us that we could be as long as we liked. The scones were to die for. I couldn't reccomend this cafe more.

Don't think I've ever tasted a better scone. Very welcome break on the Ullswater way. Had a fantastic tray of tea, cakes and scones and a warm welcome on a wet Bank Holiday Sunday. Recommended.

I walked past here a good few years ago, as it was being built. Eventually called in on my Ullswater Way walk. A very welcoming sight it was Very friendly welcome by the two young staff in there. Just had a cold can, and cake, and great value at only £3.00. sat outside admiring the lovely views. It also has accomodation here.

I am lucky enough to live in the Lake District, and to have a cafe that provides such great food in such a wonderful place and not charge the earth is very rare. The location is isolated so please bear this in mind, the selection is not extensive and they will run out on busy days, but the sausage rolls and scones are reason enough to walk here, and a cup of great coffee to superb. Forget piddling little sausage rolls these are door stopping slabs of delicious sausage meat and flaky puff pastry, they will fuel you to the end of your walk. P.S. I have no links to this establishment.

The Lowther Barn is an excellent stop on the Howtown to Glenridding section of the Ulswater Way. The view is spectacular and the staff are friendly. The selection of scones is lovely and the coffee is good.

Half way along the Ullswater walk from Patterdale to Howton to catch the ferry back to Glenridding is the Lowther Barn Café. It is literally inside a barn and you almost walk straight past it. This would be a mistake as they have the best cream teas, scrumptious sausage rolls, cold drinks, tea and coffees, plus other delightful light meals. The pair of young ladies operating the café are really lovely; although perhaps there was a 3rd in the kitchen, but they were very obliging and the place is immaculate.

Did I say Lovely? I knew there was a cafe on the route between howtown and glenridding but I was expecting a tea shack. Not such a beautiful converted barn. Did this walk many many years ago. No such place existed then. Very very welcome huge pot of tea. The baby who was being carried decided this was an ideal moment to fill his pants. Popped outside to find a patch of grass to lay him, there are lovely clean loos but no baby change. The lady popped out and offered is to use the indoors. Turns out there are 2 b&b; rooms, and she found a towel and let us sort his pants out in the room! So kind. Thank you.

Handily placed if you are walking from Glenridding to Howtown. The interior is really well done. Good cakes and drinks.

Whether you are 2alking the Ulswater way or just doing a short circular of Hallin Fell, please stop and enjoy this place. Coffee, scones and sausage rolls are lovely and with the view of the lahe while eating, you will struggle for a nicer place

Walking the Ullswater Way clockwise from Pooley Bridge today and this tearoom was on the trail. Absolutely wonderful welcome and even better Victoria sponge cake! Loved it!

On a walk from Glenridding to Howton we came across this little tea room like an oasis in the desert. Just what we needed. Lovely coffee and home made sausage roll which was one of the nicest I've had in a long time. The staff were friendly, there was a nice loo, outside seating with clever bench seats that stored upright so when you sat down the seat was dry and the food was great and good value (the sausage roll was big enough to share between two of us).

We stopped off here on a walk from Howtown to Glenridding. We were drawn in by the amazing smells coming from the baking of fresh scones....we obviously needed to sample them! This tea room was a magical find on our walk, welcoming and very friendly staff and super tasty treats. Would highly recommend a visit.

Coming from Glenridding/Patterdale via the Place Fell peak this is a great tearoom to have a good break. Opened again since last Saturday. I had a great scone with expresso.

Does this place need yet another 5 star review? Yes, to make up for the couple of bad reviews which seem completely unfair. One reviewer complains about the opening hours - its very easy to check on-line before you go, kind of obvious thing to do when planning a trip to a place in the midddle of the fells. Another bemoans the lack of a window on the lake side but then provides his own explanation - I would guess that the Lake District planners wouldn't allow you to put in any windows that weren't in the original barn so that is how it is, for the view you have to eat outside. I found it very welcoming and had the best sausage roll and scone I have had for ages. If it is not the only cafe actually in the middle of a fell walk it must be the best. If you are in the area - pop in, you won't regret it. What a shame they have to shut for the winter.

We had decided to undertake the 6.5 mile Lakeshore Walk from Howtown to Glenridding and after leaving the steamer at Howtown we set off on the four hour hike. Along with the amazing views and superb weather we met various groups of walkers along the way, one set happened to mention a tea room so we kept our eyes open. When we came across Lowther Barn we were pleasantly surprised and very pleased knowing a warm drink and some food was on the cards. We were welcomed in by the ladies even though we were covered in mud and we took our time choosing hot chocolates, scones and sausage rolls which were all absolutely lovely. The free WiFi allowed us to upload some of the beautiful pictures we had taken and check our route onwards. Overall this is a lovely find halfway along an amazing walk and I can imagine in summer it would be packed out. Part of me would have liked more choice ( to enable me to give it 5 stars) but I know we visited in the quiet season so the range has probably been reduced. We would absolutely go back and make it part of our plan if we did this walk again. Great little business and I hope it stays around and thrives!

This unexpected cafe is in a beautiful location. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Excellent cake and coffee. Clean. Highly recommended.

Nos encontramos con esta encantadora manera mediados por el café 7 milla andando desde Howtown a Glenridding y era un hoyo parada. La comida es casera y deliciosa (especialmente los rollitos de salchicha! ). Unas cuantas opciones de pastas, bebidas y comida caliente. El servicio era maravilloso - las dos señoritas que servían era muy amable y servicial a nuestro grupo. Sin duda recomendaría este lugar usted paga una visita.

The Lowther barn cafe is a top spot for a cuppa . Good home made scones as well . A great break if you're walking from pooley bridge or sharrow bay to glen ridding .

Wonderful to find a tea room in such an unexpected place. Good coffee and cakes, very welcome on a long walk.

We were doing our favourite walk today - a circular walk starting at Howtown, and did a detour to our favourite little cafe. It's a perfect spot to sit in the sun, admire the view and enjoy the peace and quiet. Access is only on foot.

we walked up Hallin fell, thenr ound it and took a detour to Lowther Barn. Views great, coffee fantastic, cake to die for. We stopped for a second round. Worth it and will be back

The boats were cancelled due to strong winds and we were pretty ready for a stop when we got to this little dream of a cafe. Not only did we have the most delicious coffee and scones but were given some excellent help and advise with alternative routes to take.The owner could not have been more helpful and friendly. She gave us Taxi number, time tables for buses and even offered to photocopy the maps for us.Thank you so much i shall tell everyone about your kindness and wonderful cooking.

Delighted to find this unexpected treat of a little cafe with lots of homemade goodies incl soup, scones, cakes. Friendly staff. Walking from Howtown to Glenridding on a chilly day it set us up for the rest of the walk

My wife and I stumbled on this delightful converted barn now serving as a tea room and guest accommodation during a walk from Howtown to Glenridding. Being a hot day it was a pleasure to pause for refreshments whilst taking in the view of Ullswater from the courtyard.The staff were friendly and attentive and the homemade scones were delicious. Being ideally located for ramblers and having something of a monopoly the prices were extremely reasonable. This was probably the highlight of our walk.

Couldn't believe our luck when a couple having their sandwiches said there was a cafe just around the next corner Lovely coffee and sumptuous tiffin; perfect!

What a great find after a short ascent of Hallin fell heading to Glenridding - fabulous sausage rolls and great service!!

Paid my third visit today, and was even more impressed than before, and that is truly saying something.The welcome was warm and genuine, the service prompt, courteous and efficient, and as for the size and quality of the scones.....

We were greeted by extremely friendly staff and made very welcome. All the cakes looked freshly baked and tempting and I decided on a scone. Quite simply the best ever. Just what we needed before we returned to our long walk from Howtown back to Glenridding.

Did we NEED a cup of tea? Did we NEED a scone with cream and jam? Or tiffin? or Victoria sponge? Or a latte or Americano? Of course not! But boy, oh boy, was this an unexpected pleasure. Took the steamer from Ullswater and walked back. A fairly basic 6.5 mile hike. What could have been nicer than to sit in the sunshine and have a brew part way round. It was lovely. The local farming family who own this were warm, friendly and lovely. In addition to top quality teas, cakes, coffees and soups my husband rather longingly spotted some rather awesome looking sausage rolls coming out of the oven as we left. They even had WiFi. They also sell a few gifts - I purchased some life-saving lip balm which was out of this world. They do luxury ensuite rooms as well...I plan to whisk the hubster away for a romantic retreat. Lovely.

Advertised in the leaflet for the Ullswater Steamer but no mention that they are closed until April ... good job we had a bar of chocolate and a bottle of water to sustain us for the 7 mile walk back.

Came here for lunch, with hubby and friends. Simon the barman made us all very welcome in The Punch Bowl. Real ale excellent and food delicious.

This place is one the foot path in between Howtown and Glenridding. It was an unexpected nice surprise right about at the halfway point of the walk. We stopped in for tea, coffee and snacks. It was a nice warm place to stop on a cool autumn day. The staff was very friendly.

Eight friends were staying at Waternook in Howtown and we didn't fancy making up picnics for our walk from Howtown to Glenridding so I contacted Gill at the cafe prior to our trip. We know that the walk can get busy so Gill put aside eight sausage rolls and a selection of cakes. She also suggested the best time to avoid the crowds.Everything was ready on arrival and we enjoyed our short break whilst taking in the fabulous view and watching the herd of deer. Great home made sausage rolls and cake. Super service.After our friends left we walked to the cafe again on Thursday and were made equally welcome. This is a great addition to the Ullswater Way.

We came across this delightful cafe whilst walking from Glenridding to Howtown on a bright Autumn day. It was all the more welcome for being totally unexpected. We had tea and home made scones with jam and cream. Friendly and chatty staff who were very helpful.It must be quite a gamble to open a cafe (with rooms!) in such a location, so well done to the owners for such innovation. And to walkers passing by 'Use it, or lose it!!!'

You would think that you would walk inside this beautiful stone cottage and find joy and coffee. Not so. A token nod to glorious Ullswater itself with the merest postage stamp of a window. Instead, on that wall, a huge TV playing something akin to soft porn at decibels. I would have asked to have it turned off, were it not for the vibes from the staff. We should have gone outside and drunk the barely adequate coffee in the rural courtyard. But shouldn't have to. I imagine the planning consent process would have been tough, and provisioning on foot the hidden away gem would be tough. All the more reason to make it special, which it currently ain't. Or is, but for entirely the wrong reasons. The scones were good though. Cold comfort.

I stopped here on a long walk along ullswater. It is a lovely cafe with delicious food and a view from the outdoor seating area of the lake. Only accessible on foot. Gluten free cake available.

I was on a walk with my daughters which included the lakeside path at ullswater. We had been on the tops initially and were VERY wet and looked forward to our stop here. The lady was in the process of cashing up and as the steamers were cancelled also very quiet on this day. However we were made most welcome with tea and homemade scones(excellent).Great place and service. Thanks

This barn is just over two miles from Howtown, on the way to Glenridding. You can access it with a ten minute walk from Sandwick if you drive through Howtown and Martindale. We stopped for tea and scones and the view. It has seats in and outdoors so please enjoy the view if you can. The toilet was very clean. This is a great little place. We will use it again!!

This is our second visit to this smashing and charming café where Natalie and Jen provide a very warm friendly service. The scones here are the best my wife has tasted cooked by Natalie we suspect ,Jen cooks the equally great sausage rolls.

Stayed in the Herdwick room of the barn for a week in August - such a lovely location and really 'away from it all'. Great base for walking, comfortable bijou room with all you need. Staff are delightful and the meals provided (breakfast inc. in cost, and dinner for an extra charge - but really good value evening meals!) were excellent: these are taken in the cafe upstairs. Would highly recommend - we also got to see the herd of deer in the mornings and evenings right outside our bedroom window! (Couple, aged 31/32)

This was an unexpected and welcome break during our hike from Pooley Bridge to Glenridding. It is roughly half way between Howtown and Glenridding. The staff were very hospitable, and explained a bit about the history, and the transport arrangements, as it is only accessible on foot. Drinks and cakes were excellent and fresh (baked on site before they open). Dogs are not allowed inside (can be tied up outside) which is excellent as there is nothing worse that having tea with smelly dogs at the next table!Great views down to the lake. They even put the motor racing on the TV for us whilst we had our drinks which was a bonus!Can't recommend this place highly enough.

Stopped during our walk from Howstown Pier back to Glenridding at the weekend. Lovely little tea room with amazing scones, pots of clotted cream and a choice of Tiptree Jam! You can't miss this on the walk, you literally go right by it on the route after coming through the Beckside Farm gate. The outside view is gorgeous, there are several outside tables to sit at and enjoy your tea and scones - other food and drinks also available but we couldn't resist this!

Beautiful little tearoom, in an amazing position overlooking the lake, and at just about the halfway spot between Howtown and Patterdale, had a very welcome brew and scrumptious home made cake on our walk, with very welcoming service, it was difficult to drag ourselves away!

Stopped here mid-run along the lake shore. Have passed it many times and on this occasion succumbed to its apparent charm. Really is a stunning spot for a cafe stop and views from tea garden are gorgeous. Staff member on duty however was luke warm and monosyllabic. Unfortunately the moderately expensive coffee was also luke warm. No prices on display, or menus available. Bit of a disappointing experience really, and next time shall just run on by.

Lovely little cafe in a remote location - the place has been very well restored inside and I can definitely recommend the fruit scones with jam and cream. Can't wait to go back next time we are in the area.

Location on the walk from Howtown to Glenridding has stunning views. It's a very welcome stopping place on the route.The cakes are delicious and freshly made. The drinks are good quality and served piping hot by friendly owner/ staff. They also serve full English breakfast and lunches. Good prices too.This out of the way business deserves to succeed. Don't walk past, stop and have a cuppa and a snack, you won't regret it.

We can't express our utter delight when we happened upon this tearoom after two hours of hiking around the lake in Ullswater. We had tea and a homemade cherry scone (yum!) served by two delightful, hospitable women. There was reggae music playing, beautiful views, and pretty decor. If you are passing through this area, do stop for tea!

This is a great little cafe on the Howton to Glenridding walk and provides a timely refreshment opportunity. Good coffee & a selection of pastries at reasonable prices. Nice new outside seating area with benched for sunny weather.

We walked from Glenridding over to Howtown and came across this very welcome oasis. It was a lovely surprise to come Croatia after about 2 hours after leaving Glenridding. Nice staff really friendly and gorgeous scones. It's quicker to get there from Howtown!! But make the effort

We happened upon lowther barn after a few days hiking and decided to ditch the tent for one night for a comfy bed and bath, luckily the lovely girl in the tea room said they had one room free for £75 so we took it, the room was modern, clean and fresh with added extras such as shampoos and bubble bath and plenty of tea and coffee and free wifi, we were asked what we would like for breakfast and kindly went to locally source our choice free of charge, also was given cakes and sausage rolls again free, they really went the extra mile and deserve to do well as it solely relies on walkers to stay and also use the tea rooms, we will be returning

A must place to stop during the walks. Great service lovely food and drink enough to refuel. Accommodation available book in advance. We stayed at the lakeside cabin with its fantastic location on the Ullswater. Hot chocolate with the works and homemade scones recommended.

We had no idea the cafe existed but imagine our joy whilst on a walk from Howtown along the shores of Ullswater and back over the fells. It was a pretty wild day, rain, hail and occasional sunshine when we happened across Lowther Barn Cafe. Although quite small, maybe 5 tables plus outside seating... Not today.... It was warm and comforting with a small but delicious menu and reasonable prices. The girls staffing it were very helpful and happily chatted away with us. One of them was stranded there for 5 days. It is worth the walk from Howtown just to enjoy it. If you have a dog it must remain outside, be aware if the weather is poor

Lovely little cafe tucked away just 1/2 a mile from Sandwick. Great coffee and a selection of home made cakes.

Discovered while walking the Howtown Glenridding lakeside path, and what a marvellous surprise. We refueled with tea and cakes and just watched the world go by (with our two dogs).

There is a walk from How Town to Glenridding that is just about as perfect as any walk gets. Its assisted by the Ullswater steamers. You can take a steamer to How Town and pick up the steamer back from Glenridding. We did this on a sparkling Autumn day. Half way along the walk, without any obvious reason is the Lowther Barn Cafe. Its a lovely converted barn. Delightful inside and great views outside. They serve great coffee and fresh cakes. We had scones still warm from the oven. Its the sort of place that you struggle to believe is there. Its a place to savour. It would be criminal not to.

What a welcome surprise to find a lovely coffee shop with fab cakes half way along our walk between Howtown and Patterdale. Outside seating has fabulous views overlooking Ullswater. Overnight accommodation looks inviting, especially having to arrive by a farmers quad vehicle. Will definitely consider for our next stay.

We have just got back from a walk along Ullswater and stumbled across this lovely new teashop, what a treat! We had tea and warm, freshly made scones, which couldn't have been nicer. It is in such a perfect spot overlooking the lake, right in the middle of the walk from Patterdale to Howtown. We shall definitely pop in again next time we do this walk, its just perfect. I'm sure it will be a great success.

Situated between Howtown and Patterdale along the lakeside footpath. A brilliant little stop off for a cuppa or even a light lunch. Very reasonable prices and all clean and new. It's gong to need support from walkers to survive and thrive; had I have known it was there I wouldn't have bothred with a packed lunch.Access from the Steamer pier at Howtown or from Patterdale. I hope that it works out for them!

The soup was homemade, and was as good as I have tasted anywhere. I was so impressed that I asked the staff to pass my comments on to the chef.

This is a newly opened cafe on the eastern shores of Lake Ullswater. It is only accessible on foot, about two miles from the steamer stop at Howtown. It is modern, fresh and clean with friendly service. Near to a stunning waterfall and with views over Ullswater, it is perfect for a stop at any time of the day from breakfast to lunch and afternoon tea. There was tasty food served on pretty plates and the choice would suit any taste. It was a real treat on a seven mile walk.We sat outside in a sheltered spot bathed in sunshine, it was truly magical.It's quite an undertaking for the owners and we wish them well. As we walked in for lunch, fresh scones had just come out of the oven and delicious tray bakes were on view.Certainly a good reason to do the walk again!Scrummy with stunning views!
