I had lusted after visiting this tea room after seeing their web site and yesterday was the opportunity to do so, whilst on a day trip to Saltburn. All I can say is I wish we hadn’t bothered. When we arrived a lady was taking in the black boards and I saw a couple go in and come straight back out. But I had checked the website and it stated it opened till 3.30pm.As it was only 2.10pm I presumed, wrongly, we would be able to get drinks, cakes and maybe a light snack. I did go in and enquired if they were serving the lady said well I am closing what do you want? So rather perplexed, the tea room did not resemble the photos on the website showing delicious cakes on cake stands. I ordered tea which came slopped in paper cups, not a china cup or saucer in sight or indeed a tea pot or milk jug. The lady continued to take table and chairs inside although other people were arriving I would suggest the website need updating as I do question the statements that “ we are a traditional Victorian tea room” “ we have a wide range of tempting home made cakes” and certainly our experience was not warm and welcoming.

I’ve visited Saltburn many times but have never visited the Italian garden and tea rooms. Had a really nice lunch - freshly prepared sandwiches and salad with plentiful tea and wicked piece of cake. Highly recommended if the weather is good and you can sit outside.

Quick service, lovely crockery which gave it a special occasion feel. Reasonable prices, maybe on the slightly high side but given the nice scenery and setting, we didn’t mind paying. Loved the fact it was dog friendly, will bear this in mind for future trips.

Sign on the door said open, staff happy for us to buy drinks, but when my heavily pregnant friend tried to use the toilet we were told the cafe was actually closed and the toilet had been cleaned so couldn’t be used. The next closest toilet was a good 15 mins walk away (we were told to use one around the corner that had already been locked shut for some time when we’d walked past earlier). Anyone who’s been pregnant knows how horrendous this is. Really unkind and unhelpful, and frankly unfair to paying customers.

Out with the dog, keen for a cuppa, found this gem. Dogs welcome on the outdoor tables, and indeed there were six groups with pooches. A charming member of staff offered to take my order at the table and brought me a tea and a toasted tea cake for £5. Excellent. Couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. A pleasure to deal with.

Lovely tea rooms. The cakes are just so so good. Very nice interiors with a vintage tea room feel. They have outside seating areas and a lovely big area of grass for kids to play. The tea rooms also supplied bubbles for the kids to play with whilst the adults relaxed with a coffee. Absolute hidden gem!

Tried to visit today after a lovely walk around Saltburn and Valley gardens for a coffee and ice cream for the children. The tea rooms close at 4pm, at 3.25pm a very rude lady shouted after my husband as he tried to take our toddler to the toilet that the toilets were now closed as she had mopped the floors and put bleach down the toilet! We explained he was only 2 but she snapped again that they were closed. The cafe was still serving drinks until I presume the closing time of 4pm...needless to say we went elsewhere!

We are regular customers visiting every day when we are holidaying with our dog in Saltburn-by-the-Sea. Tha lovely tearoom owner is a super cheery and friendly lady who makes all the delicious cakes daily. Nice coffee, fancy hot chocolate and lots of ice cream also available. Sandwiches and toasted tea cakes also available. You can invest in a book, dvd or choose from a selection of vinyl to enhance your holiday break along with dog toys or doggy ice cream for your four legged friend although ours always has his own piece of cake! Lovely to sit out in the beautiful gardens whilst sipping your coffee.

We had Victoria sponge, lemon drizzle and blueberry cake. All yummy. Give it a try if you can. Open every day in half term.

In its current incarnation the Tearooms is a gem. We visited most days on our recent week's stay in Saltburn having walked through the woods in the shade with the dog as it was really hot. The tearooms provides light sandwich-type lunches and snacks, superb homemade cakes and tasty ice cream. Sadly the coffee machine was broken when we last visited but the man was there to fix it! Water bowls provided for the dog. The ladies are lovely. Highly recommended- the cakes are sumptuous!

Nestled in the heart of Saltburn's valley gardens you'll find this charming little tearoom. There's something so timeless and uniquely British about this little place. I hope it never changes as it seems to preserve some small, lovely piece of history.There is always a different selection of homemade cakes to choose from. They also serve sandwiches and drinks. Plenty of outdoor seating with a large grassy area for kids or dogs to enjoy.Staff are lovely, location is perfect and if you're lucky enough to visit on a sunny day it's completely idyllic. It's a little hidden spot away from the manic bustle of the beach and I can't recommend it enough. We've been to all of the coffee shops in Saltburn many times and this one is our favourite. We've had some gorgeous memorable summer afternoons here.It's worth being aware that they don't accept card payments, so you will need to have money with you.

We stumbled across this whilst walking a different route back to the car. Lovely garden cafe with outdoor seating & lots of grass for the kids to play on. Tea was served with mis matched cups & saucers which I found quaint. The kids each got a cookie which they raved about. An extra pot of water to top up the tea meant we spent a good hour here just relaxing & enjoying the sun. We’ll definitely come here again when we’re next in Saltburn.

Beautiful tearooms!!!! We finished our train ride and walked through the Italian gardens to the little Victorian tearooms, wow so impressed it's decorated so beautifully all vintage and Victorian style. We had club sandwiches followed by homemade Victoria sandwich with lashings of cream!! They had about six big homemade cakes to choose from they even had vegan cakes. We had free refills of Yorkshire tea and we had China teacups with butterflies on. My mum loved it here so much. We are definitely visiting again and very soon. They have a cute ice-cream area and they sell vegan ice cream which is great as my son has dairy allergies!! The staff were polite and very helpful told us about walks and the viaducts and history of the area. Can't wait to bring my nephew's here next week for ice cream and homemade cake!!!!!

Stopped here with the kids on a sunny day. They were obviously busy, but were polite and apologised for the slow service.Toasties were a generous size with real ham, which was great. Kids sausages didn't go down too well, think they'd been cooked, sliced in half then re-fried, so were a bit greasy.Hot chocolate was delicious.The big disappointment was the tea. It came in a very small pot and was served with UHT milk. For an establishment which describes itself as a tea room I would expect a generous pot of tea and fresh milk.Overall, a lovely tea room in a gorgeous spot, and the kids were given free crisps and ice lollies for waiting so patiently, which was much appreciated.

The cakes looked delicious and I was informed they were her own baking and on sale at her tea room. The trail for the tea rooms gave us a great day out in Saltburn and there we found the tea room at the end of the miniature railway. Sunny day sat outside and all enjoyed a lovely light lunch of various sandwiches, toasties and cakes. I didn't catch the owners name but wish her continued success in her thriving business.

The lady serving was very pleasant and prices reasonable. We would say if you do not like eating near dogs eat inside as it is a very busy doggie walking area also. Some people need to pick up after their dogs however.

Thought it deserved a mention, we traveled a fair distance for a nice walk in the park, sadly the weather had deteriorated drastically by the time we arrived. We had been once before so thought we would see if it was open, fortunately it was. Two sausage sandwiches and a few cups of tea, we were ready to hit the terrible elements again. £4:95 for a sausage sandwich and as many cups of tea in the cups your nana probably had we thought was good value, from a nice chatty girl, there is even board games if you want a break from the outside world.

After a lovely stroll through the valley we stopped here for a cup of tea and a slice of cake. Drinks were serve promptly and the selection available was great. Not many small tearooms offer decaf, thankfully here does. There was a wait for the cake to be served, at first you're wondering why until you are served. The cake portions are huge and it is served drizzled in a delicious coulis with cream on the side. The presentation was amazing and the taste even more so! The valley walk along with this is well worth a visit, and it might burn off a few of the calories you are going to consume! Service was with a smile and we will definitely be visiting again!

Visited a few days ago with family and ordered toasted sandwiches etc. After a long wait the 'order' arrived and we quickly realised it was the wrong order, a pulled pork for a vegetarian who had ordered cheese & tomato toastie for example. Once the waitress had realised her error she quickly went to the table that the sandwiches were supposed to have gone to and told them 'we had taken their order'! The sandwiches were taken from us to the other table - complete with a bite out of my daughters which she took before realising we had the wrong order!! We had to advise the other table that there was a bite out of one sandwich and that we had opened them to see what was inside. Totally shocked by this outrageous service bordering on the comical. Never again.

I made the point of telling them that there were tables that needed clearing while they were talking but this seemed to fall on deaf ears, nobody came to wipe our table down.I chose a tuna cheese melt panini and an orange juice however were told they had no tuna and only "warm" orange juice - not very appealing at all. So again, time to chat but no time to replenish the fridge stock obviously. I ordered an alternative to which I was then told the only thing they had left for sandwiches was cheese. I settled on a cheese mayo sandwich - surprise surprise, no mayo!What happened next was appalling, the lady who seemed to be the manager there came out of the kitchen and round the front of the counter and started shouting at me "if I didn't like it I could go somewhere else"!! She was extremely rude and disrespectful, not the sort of response I would expect from someone in the hospitality trade. At this point we decided to leave, we will not be returning to be treated this way again. Fair enough we understand it was a busy sunny summer's day but this is no excuse for the manner in which we were dealt with - steer clear!!

Lovely tea room hidden in the gardens. Cakes are made on the premises and are to die for. We walked there most mornings and had beautiful bacon and sausage sandwiches. Then in the afternoon the walk back from the beach we would have a large slice of cake served with cream. Nice for dogs too. They get a couple of dog biscuits and plenty of water bowls. Does get busy but worth going

Good old fashioned service and good old fashioned courtesy. The meals are snack meals. i had a very tasty Gammon and mature cheddar melt on Wholemeal bread. This was my first visit even though I have lived in Saltburn 5years. I will return. The cakes are like mother used to bake pure and wholesome ! No mugs of tea just china cups and saucers and a teapot . I sat outside . I arrived at the Tea rooms by train from Cat Nab station to Forrest Halt and walked through the beautiful Italian Gardens to arrive at the tea rooms. Then I returned by the train to Cat Nab Station after a wonderful sufficiency of food and drink. I would recommend that you visit. Enjoy!!

Come here every year when on holiday just for the cake which is the best. Well worth the walk to get to it.

Called here today very disappointed with the customer service. Waiting to be served 2 people in kitchen they could clearly see us but chose to carry on with the conversation between themselves. Finally got served when I asked for a glass of milk for my daughter was told only had long life milk not fresh milk. Purchased a bar of choc and when sat down to eat it realised that it was from a multi pack which clearly states that it was not supposed to be sold separately. Customer service definitely gone downhill since current owners took over. In future will go to one of the many other cafes in saltburn.

We called on one of the hottest days of the year and the place was full to overcrowded. As a result, the two members of staff appeared to be overwhelmed and, although they did their best and were friendly, the wait in the queue to be served was an extremely long one. It is, however, a pleasant little traditional tea room in an attractive woodland setting and, on a less busy day, would probably be fine.

What a lovely find. So welcoming even the doggie got a little treat. Amazingly they had dairy free ice cream available and alpro soya drinks so of course I had to have both as being dairy free I am often left out. Yom! I'll be back.

Fabulous setting in the gardens. The tea was lovely, served with nice cups and saucers but the cakes stole the show. Had Victoria sponge one day and went back the next to try lemon drizzle. Very generous portions served with cream. Best cake I have ever tasted! The lady running this cafe has a real talent for baking, taught by her father I believe. Will certainly visit again.

I went for a walk through Saltburn woods which I often do, and stopped of for a cup of tea. Really enjoying the tea when a group of adults with children and about four dogs came towards us from the other end. The dogs were not on a lead and this was the problem. So bad that when the adults went into tea rooms their dogs were trying to enter as well so by this time I drank the bit of tea I had and left feeling angry because they weren't intrested on who was around them eating/drinking and enjoying the surroundings. So I think the tea room staff need to look at this problem!

We visited this tea room while on half term holiday. The staff were very friendly and helpful with tips about the local area. The menu was good and the cakes were fabulous, especially the lemon drizzle. Will definitely look to visit again next year.

My partner and i came across this tea room when exploring the Saltburn Valley Gardens whilst on holiday.... and i must say, im so glad we went in. The lady who runs it was very very friendly and chatted to us about the area and how best to enjoy the walks, all of which we found very useful (though im embarrassed to say i cant remember her name) The cakes are all homemade, i had the lemon cake and can honestly say it was the best lemon cake ive ever tasted!. My partner had a scone, which he said was very nice too, as was my hot drink - a Mocha. I note that a lot of people have complained about the prices and the dogs. Well we found it very good value for money and as for the dogs - it is in the middle of park lands, so, yes you will get dogs walking past whilst you are eating, i did not find this a problem. Would definately recommend this place, dont be put off by the bad reviews, try it for yourself - especially the lemon cake!

Lovely coffee and cake served by friendly Girl, however the amount of loose dogs with owners sat outside bothering our nervous little dog spoilt it for us.

Great simple wholesome food and super cakes. Nice basic menu for having a picnic outside the valley gardens but still being inside the wood. There is a kids sandwich box with various sandwich options available . The Victoria Sponge is divine.

We have visited many times with our children but this time we received poor service from the 3 staff (it seems to have changed hands - not sure when). PRICES: 1 slice of cake £3.25! We were charged £2.95 by mistake and the manager told the girl off. Total order for 1 espresso, 1 tea, 1 piece of cake (to share due to the price!) and 3 calipo lollies £11 and something pence. Too much when popping out with our 3 children for a walk. Cake should be around £2.25 in a place like this.FOOD & DRINK: espresso was not really a true espresso, more like ordinary black coffee. Cake - nice but a bit dry. Slice of real lemon on the top - strange!SERVICE: unwelcoming manager, 2 young girls serving who were unable to smile. My teacup had a crack in it and the tea leaked out all over the saucer. When I went to explain, the girl didn't apologise, just commented to the other girl that they needed to get new cups. She gave me a new cup but no tea to replace the full cup of tea I had poured out. When I asked for a new pot of tea, she looked to ask where my 1st pot of tea was, not bothered that it now had 1 less cup. She did give me a new pot of tea but clearly wanted the 1st pot back - surely this should be left on the table regardless as part of good customer service? ATMOSPHERE: noisy with too many dogs and lots of noisy children - you expect a few but really, it was not a relaxing place to sit.We noticed a lady at the next table took her latte back (complaining too).We will not return due to poor service and high prices - hence the title of my review!

Being local I visit here quite often and love the walk through the valley gardens which are well kept and colourful. A lovely little tea room to have a rest and a nice cuppa. There is the miniature railway which the kids love and a nice play area for the kids with slides, zip line and swings. just be aware of the steep climb back up especially if you have difficulty in walking (or you could get the lift up near the pier).

Called in for quick snack with grandchildren. Great location in the middle of the valley gardens. Coffee bit on the weak side but everything else good. We enjoyed our drinks whilst the children had a great time running about.
