Lovely afternoon tea, highly recommended. Atmosphere was so friendly too. Well worth a visit for one of their cups of tea, a secret blend that is delicious.

Visited again on a very busy Thursday but could not fault the staff and homemade food. One table seemed to think it was the local MacDonalds and were kicking off after waiting about 2 mins to be served!! This place really is a hidden gem and is bright, relaxing and calm. We all had different things from the menu and everything was perfect. Will be back soon. Thank you

Eight sandwiches and some soup of the day arrived after about an hour. We had asked to order drinks after our meal and were all looking forward to puddings but after waiting for ages we eventually paid our bill and left. We are all local but I for one won’t be returning.

Lunch with friend wow amazing, doesn’t really look much from the outside (old school house/dreary winter weather) but OMG how wrong once you step inside it’s amazing, bright and airy but cozy warm even with the high ceilings, the specials on offer…. 2 soups (2 of my favs,so will have to go back) ! Panini, chilli (roast on a Sunday) veg/vegan options, along with usual menu, I also came with hubby 2wks ago for coffee and cake, delish 😍, anyway while with friend today we both had a panini tea and cake, the cake was homemade yet again and delish, again 2 cakes I couldn’t decide on, so might have to get hubby to take my for morning coffee and cake tomorrow, not sure who Mae is but the staff are lovely and friendly, honestly couldn’t recommend enough & totally embarrassed I’ve drove past the sign for last 5yrs!!

We have been visiting Mae's for around 8 years now on our way to and from the lakes. We always receive great service and enjoy the food. So when we were looking for a small venue for our wedding reception we were delighted that Mae's could host it. It was absolutely perfect for us and our guests (around 50 people) Mae's provided a buffet style reception however they offered us a range of food styles and choices. The food was delicious and the service by Mark and his team was excellent. The traditional school house building and quintessential lakeland backdrop was perfect for our wedding photographs. All our guests enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the lake district surroundings. Would definitely recommend Mae's for an intimate Lake District wedding.

I would like thank Mae’s Tearoom for hosting our wedding reception with around 50 Guests. The food, hospitality and staff were first class, making it a perfect venue for small events. We manage to get some beautiful wedding photos against the stunning backdrop of the Northern Fells from Mae’s seating platform. I would recommend their food and I would not hesitate returning with future events.

We were on our way down from Carlisle to Cockermouth and decided we wanted a little tea and coffee shop somewhere to stop off at. My daughter did a quick internet search and found Mae's Tea Room and Gallery. However, it has to be said that it is a little off the beaten track to find....BUT it's definitely well worth finding as it's a real gem! Located in an old school building Mae's not only sells excellent tea, coffee and scrumptious homemade cakes but also has a gallery. There is a huge selection of handmade greeting cards, an assortment of homemade preserves, plus art work and jewelry (which was so nice that i had to purchase a pair of earrings!). The tea and coffee was quality and the cream tea and lemon drizzle cake was absolutely delicious. 10/10!!

We visited Mae's Tea Roomfor afternoon tea as a party of five. We had two vegetarians and a nut allergy sufferer in our party, so we called ahead and they reserved a table or us. They were very busy when we arrived...15 minutes early, but they were so welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The afternoon tea was delicious and very generous portions! Believe me when I say my family can pack away their food, despite all their problems, but we left with enough food to feed my student daughter and her boyfriend for days! We went on a Sunday afternoon and they were also doing Sunday lunch that looked very good too! We will definitely return with empty tummies! We also all enjoyed the artwork around the place that is all for sale!

We had an amazing afternoon tea at Mae's, loads of fresh sandwiches, scrummy homemade cakes and scones all washed down with copious amounts of proper tea - delicious!! It was really good value for money, we even took some home with us thinking that it would be great in our picnic the following day - it didn't last that long as we ate it all that evening :-). The staff all wear masks and we were at a safe distance from other tables - I would definitely recommend and will be going again!!

My husband and I visited the tearoom during a gorgeous holiday in the North Lakes, a place known for outstanding friendliness and welcome. It was a surprise then to receive a rather more cold reception here. The waitress was very rude to my husband and we were asked to clear the dirty table we were sitting at ourselves because they were busy. (It was dirty from previous customers). There were only three tables in the whole tearoom being used! The whole experience was quite uncomfortable and not at all in keeping with what we are accustomed to in this beautiful part of the country. Very disappointing.

We asked for some sandwiches to take on a picnic and these were freshly made for us. Whilst waiting we admired the paintings, arts and crafts on display and for sale on the premises. The sandwiches were delicious - generous helpings of gammon, mustard and salad, nice granary bread. A warm welcome and good service. Well worth a visit.

As my wife I were staying in nearby Ireby we were keen to try the full English breakfast on offer at the tearooms.It was a beautiful warm sunny morning on arrival and having 3 dogs in tow we chose an elevated platform to the left side of the tearooms with fantastic views of the surrounding area.Busy as it was our breakfasts arrived in a timely manner and did not disappoint, with the arrival of our breakfasts Mark the owner came running out with a generous portion of cold sausages for the dogs.I think is was safe to say the dogs enjoyed their breakfast too.So with full bellies washed down with a couple of cups of coffee and a quick look around the inside of the tea-rooms which sells all manner of beautiful things from local jams to pieces of art - we went on our way to the coast to exercise the dogs and walk off our breakfasts.Well worth a visit if your in the area.

I visited Mea's Tea Room as part of my first trip away out since Covid began. I was too nervous to stay inside to eat, despite the wonderful inside space. Comfortable seating, plenty of room and an airy big room. But the staff were wonderful. and helpful. I bought some of the jam they have for sale, as the products are their own. I had a delicious large scone with raspberry jam and clotted cream. It was put in a take away container as I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I also had a delicious ice cream and ended up sitting outside in the sunshine on a bench in the outside area of the Tea Room. There are delightful surroundings and fresh air. Highly recommended.

What a gem of a place! Never heard of uldale but was most amazing drive, so if you're up for a ride out I'd recommend the caldbeck common route (but to be fair all the roads have stunning views!) Cafe is also a sort of gallery selling art and other handmade homewares and gifts. Quirky and cool to wander around and have a look. Menu was OK and very good range of Gluten free options and desserts, freshly made. Light and airey with a log fire for colder months.Dogs are welcome, which is wonderful, and there are ground floor toilets which are in cubicles outside. Very clean but not sure a wheelchair user would find them suitable. Access to cafe has a slight step with ramp available on request. Car parking available on site but i can imagine tight at busy times.I will definitely plan to come back here, particularly if anyone comes to visit as its very special. You can chill for hours or just pop in for a quick stop. Lovely place.

Set in a beautiful little village, Mae's tea room is well worth a visit. We went for lunch, plenty of choice. We settled on a prawn sandwich, pork and stuffing batch, cheese sandwich and finished with a lemon drizzle cake, Victoria sponge and a scoop of local ice cream. The pork batch was a generous serving, perfect for filling up. The staff and owner are very friendly and helpful. If you're after afternoon tea then booking is essential. They also serve dinner and special nights, so worth keeping a eye out or enquiring. Thank you for a lovely lunch!!

What a lovely place to stop. We were cycling the coast to coast ride from Whitehaven to Robin Hood's bay and had struggled for a few miles to find a good place to stop for lunch so it was mid afternoon by the time we arrived there. Nothing was too much trouble. There is even a bowl of water for your dog! Absolutely recommended. Food and staff were excellent and had no issue with us even after their stated closing time (they did not even remind us!) The old school room seems an excellent venue too. Absolute gem!

As we were staying locally in Ireby we got a recommendation to go to Mae's. The location and building are beautiful - an old converted school that has lost none of the charm. There are plenty of parking spots on site or nearby and toilets are outside as well. The staff there were lovely and welcoming. They have a good sized menu considering its a small cafe, including lots of cakes, sandwiches etc. They can do a special high tea if ordered in advance. They also have events on periodically like a special Greek night and Curry night so worth checking on their website if interested. We had tea for 2, soup of the day (was potato and leek) and my partner the fruit scone which she said was delicious and a very generous serving with great cream and jam. The tea for 2 made 3 and a bit cups which was good for me. They have a few beers / ciders you can have on site or take away that are locally made which is a nice touch and there are some art work displays and crafts from what I assume are local artists and photographers which if we could take with us we would have done! Well worth a visit / detour if nearby.

They do bacon or sausage rolls as well as jacket potatoes and sandwiches. If going for Sunday lunch make sure to book a table. There are also crafts and artwork displayed which can be purchased as well as jams and chutney. We bought some of the raspberry jam after tasting how it was with scones and clotted cream . Truly a little gem and definitely worth a visit ( or few as we did).

Today was our third visit to Mae's and it didn't disappoint. We took our afternoon tea on the terrace and the view was breath-taking as were the scones and cakes. Staff were lovely including Mark the owner.

Red bush tea and fruit scones! Oh my word! Warm scones with butter that melts and cream that also melts and raspberry jam with pips all make for a disgustingly naughty treat. So much so, we had to clean the mess off the table before we left the plates. What a lovely little find in the middle on almost no where.

These tea rooms are hidden away in an old school building in the village of Uldale. We had lunch there and considered the food to be of a high standard. The building also serves as an art gallery for local artists and is worth visiting just for that.

Food outstanding plus excellent service. Good range of snacks or lunchtime meals. Formerly a school and you can almost see the little ones at their desks. Well worth a visit if you are in this part of Cumberland

Called in for a spot of lunch to Mae's tea room, lovely lunch and fab cake. The staff even made my dog feel welcome, as we where sitting outside they got her a drink of water and a few little treats, the staff were friendly and nothing was a bother to them.

I visited Mae's a fortnight ago with a friend and everything was superb: the service, the food and the general ambience of the place. When entering the tea room I didn't expect Sunday lunches at all, so I got the garlic mushrooms with salad and a salmon steak. Not a complaint, the portion size was just enough and the value for the meal was excellent at around £12 for a two course meal, with plenty of coffee refills! The service was excellent and really helpful.Definitely worth the visit... :)

We called in mid Sunday afternoon. Missed Sunday lunch, which was OK as we were not hungry enough for a full meal. We had pulled pork and Chicken sandwiches in doorstep bread slices. Ice cream to follow. Excellent value.NOTE - not easy to find, but worth the effort!

We visit this pub all the time and I thought it was due a review! What an amazing place. Food is good honest pub grub with Specials. The staff are really friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is always good with locals and walkers - good craic. Almost forgot the real ale which is always being changed. Proper village pub at the heart of the community with an amazing landlady !

The best dog friendly cafe in the lakes. Gorgeous food and the warmest welcome. This is our go to place when walking in the north lakes. All of the food always hits the spot but the cakes are just gorgeous!

Wife had to wait 5 minutes at the empty bar so i went and told the staff and the reply to me was " it can't have been 5 minutes " not sorry, sir, we are on the way...NOT very personal
