Simonburn Tearooms and B&B in Northumberland

went in there today with Sue and Rosie the puppy - - lovely people running the tearooms, and as the title of this review says, it's set in a beautiful place, v nice.

We stayed here whilst walking Hadrian's wall. It is such a friendly and welcoming place where the owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The food was delicious, freshly cooked and tasty. The room was beautiful with a lovely bed that allowed for a good night's sleep. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

The staff were very welcoming, even ushering us inside with the dog as it was a tad windy/cold. The venue looks great and was nice and cozy inside.Coffee's - shame they are not 'proper' Cappuccinos (though they were nicely done)and the Cakes, were very nice, though as others have mentioned not homemade, but equally they were very nice and enjoyed by all of us.

We stayed at The Simonburn on our Hadrian's Wall walk. We arrived in Chollerford tired but happy, called Soraya and were promptly picked up by Dave and taken to the B&B.This couple are such incredible hosts and made us feel completely at home. I had spoken with Soraya already to organise an evening meal, which she cooked for us specially. It was delicious.After dinner we sat in the beautiful gardens before taking advantage of the honesty bar.Rooms are very well appointed, clean and cosy.Breakfast was also excellent.Dave has a very good reflector telescope for guests, to allow you to take advantage of the incredible dark skies in Northumbria.I would recommend this B&B without reserve.

A friend and I called here for a mid-morning coffee and cake earlier today. I wish it had been later in the day, or that we had been hungrier, as I was very tempted by the lunch items on the extensive menu.If it had been a sunnier day, I am sure it would have been lovely to sit out in the beautifully kept garden.The cakes were served in generous slices, with cream and a few fresh berries as garnish. I had the, obviously homemade, Victoria Sponge. This was delightfully light and moist, just how it should be (but seldom is). In fact, I made a special point of remarking on this to the lady whom I assumed to be the proprietor.The tea room is clean, and the decor is modern. I think I would have expected something a little more traditional, but that is simply a matter of my taste. There is a large sign on the wall - 'Service with a smile'. Regretfully, this seemed to have bypassed the girl who showed us to out table and served us. The waitress was sullen, and gave the impression that she did not want to be there, and was simply going through the motions. A large family group arrived whilst my friend and I were there, and she was as unwelcoming to them as well. In particular, I noticed that four of them wanted the same thing, Quiche, I think it was. "There's only three" was the response. Maybe a response like - "I'm really sorry but we only have three left, they have been really popular this morning, but would you like to try xxxx instead?" Woukd have conveyed the same message in a more customer friendly way...Her attitude contrasted with that of the older lady who we paid. It is a pity as it left a bitter taste to the amazing cake.

Stayed here for one night on our Hadrian’s wall walk. Dave and Soraya are fantastic hosts. Lovely room and so quiet. The village is beautiful and so is the garden. Great food. Everything we needed after a long days walking. Highly recommended.

Amazing place to stay. Dave and Soraya are fab hosts who make you feel at home. Food was fab, accommodation was fab and the company was brilliant lots of lols in the garden in front of the wood burner. Dave’s poached eggs are legendary so stop buy and have something to eat it even book a room…you won’t regret it

What a find! We just had the most delicious lunch and cakes and couldn’t fault this place. Beautiful gardens. The staff were friendly and helpful; it felt more like sitting in a family garden. Gorgeous place.

Great place lovely garden and the food was very good .this place is dog friendly and the garden has sunny and shaded areas . We found the staff very friendly and we will definitely be back .

Previous review was 11 June - excellent. Lovely quiet garden, birdsong the only sound. Visited again today - not so good (as far as we’re concerned) due to music being played over speakers in the garden. It appears that today was the first day they’ve used music. Before we visit again we will phone to see if music is being played - and if so will go elsewhere for a quiet coffee etc.

A gorgeous setting with a beautiful garden and well spaced tables. Tea was piping hot and service was good. However we were somewhat disappointed with the food. We ordered fruit scones and a pice of chocolate cake, expecting homemade produce. The scone was plain (not fruit) and it had been microwaved, which meant it soon went stale. The chocolate cake was obviously not homemade. Whilst the location, venue and the service all get full marks, unfortunately the food we had was mediocre.

My Friend and I stayed here while walking Hadrian’s Wall and absolutely loved it. Soraya and Dave could not have been nicer or more accommodating, they made us feel as though we were staying with friends and we relaxed immediately in their lovely garden after a very long 21 mile day of hiking!Our rooms were luxurious and spotless clean and we felt very safe with regards to the Covid rules. The home cooked evening meal was absolutely delicious ( thank you Soraya for my vegetarian lasagne ) it was the best meal of the week! Breakfast too was freshly prepared with a fantastic choice of fruit and a cooked breakfast to set us up for the day.Dave who is an absolute star picked us up and also drove us back to the starting point the next morning and told us to call if we needed any help which we were very grateful for his kindness.If you’re ever in Chollerford Simonburn Tearooms and B&B is a must visit!

Soroya and Dave gave us a very warm welcome, and we we charmed by the lovely village, the garden at the inn, and lovely dinner (good thing, as there's nothing nearby) and the great room. It's a very nice place to stay if you find yourself in this part of the world; highly recommend!

Stayed here overnight as part of our Hadrians Wall adventure. What an idyllic place to stay. Comfy accommodation and a lovely evening meal provided by Soraya. Nothing was to much trouble for our hosts Soraya and Dave. If you want the perfect B&B to stay at then look no further, thanks, guys, Alan & Debbie

Dave and Soraya couldn't have been more accommodating, nothing too much trouble, lovely people, amazing home cooked food, beautiful house and garden.

Friendly folk and lovely tea and scones served with a smile in a sunny garden. Owner shared garden knowledge with us. When we arrived the sign said closed but the girls were happy to serve us and make us welcome.

Breakfast this morning was lovely. We had had a very unsettled little one after waking up from a sleep in the car. Nothing was too much hassle at all, made to feel welcome and thoroughly enjoyed our meal and our time spent there. We will definitely be back soon.

Called here for the second time in three weeks yesterday. Both times it was lovely to sit in the garden and hear only the sound of the birds and the garden fountain. Both times staff were friendly, service was swift, and the coffee and tea cakes were ordered were nice. Well worth a visit.

Spotted a sign for Simonburn tea rooms and followed it to this excellent tearoom. Very tranquil and well kept garden for dining or chilling out on a sunny day. Had tea in very nice friendly surroundings- outdoors- as it was a sunny day. Cake for me and a scone for Janet. Both high quality as was the service and friendliness . It’s a bit off the main road- 1 mile- from the road to Wark but well worth the visit. Also it’s licensed so can have a beer or a alcoholic beverage if you’re so minded . In that area you’ll be glad you visited.

We were cycling the Sandstone Way and stumbled across this little gem of a place. Beautiful garden with tables really spread out so easy for social distancing. Food was good and staff were friendly.

Stayed 3 nights to explore Roman ruins. Dave and Sorya are the most pleasant and helpful couple . Rooms and food first rate. Would give it 10 stars if I could

Lovely B&B which we used as a stopover whilst walking Hadrian’s Wall. Great room, fantastic home cooked supper and the owners just brilliant . Boots were dried, we were so well looked after. It was more like staying with friends.

Soraya en Dave zijn zeer gastvrije mensen, hebben een prima keuken en verhuren keurig nette en comfortabele kamers.

Stayed here while walking some of Hadrian's wall. Arrived extremely wet and tired but the owners made us feel right at home - they picked us up from Chollerford for free.* Lovely owners, nothing was too much trouble for them - dried our clothes and boots for us* Room was nice, had private bathroom and spacious.* Dinner was great and good value, we had a lot of fun chatting to the other guests as well.Overall a great place to stay and meet other people.

Went at a Sunday afternoon, very busy indoors and outdoors. Good selection of food good friendly service. Great location if a little difficult to find. Very relaxing visit.

Stopped at this place on a whim whilst on holiday in the area, having seen the sign at the side of the road. I’m sorry to say that the food was disappointing. Soup was lukewarm & tasteless and the very basic sandwich was uninviting - similar to one intended for a fussy child’s lunchbox. For the price paid, we expected a bit more. There is one toilet for customers & it was desperately in need of a thorough clean. The toilet bowl itself was awful, the hand soap had run out & the ancient electric hand dryer would not function. There was a filthy looking blue hand towel hanging right beside the toilet bowl for all to use. Needless to say, our jeans did the trick instead. Such a shame, the waitress was very friendly and the garden beautiful however we wouldn’t return or recommend.

We stayed here after booking.com cancelled our nearby booking without informing us but the way it turned out, we could not be more pleased. We booked with about 5 minutes notice and were welcomed immediately. The garden here is beautiful and great to sit in on a warm afternoon with a glass of wine from the honesty bar. We had an observatory experience booked in Wark and got a lift there and back at the times we needed for £4 each way. Breakfast was good quality and included fresh fruit, juices, cereals, coffee and a full English.Overall this was a very nice if short stay and I would happily return if in the area.

Found this via trip advisor after visiting the Housesteads Roman fort on Hadrian’s Wall. Need a place for lunch and this was spot on, great food and quiet.

We were the only ones in the garden when we called - it was a lovely place to eat. The food was OK and it was good value.One or two suggestions - Ploughmans Lunch had no bread and no apple and a hunk of cheese would have been better than a couple of meagre triangular thin slices. Charge a pound extra and make it a proper Ploughmans!We will certainly come again and hope to add that final star. 4 out of 5 ain't bad, though. We enjoyed it.

David was a blast. Told many stories and we had so much fun. Food was excelent, too. Stayed for one night.

My family absolutely loved this place. Our hosts were congenial and fun. They helped us in so many ways get to the right spaces. They were also incredibly gifted builders and gardeners, having recently built the interiority of the B&B; and created the gorgeous garden. I am quite grateful that Dave himself got the key to the local 12th century church a few meters from the B&B; and let us in to see the insides. The food was quite good! We loved the Simonburn Tearoom and highly recommend it!

Absolutely beautiful place! Sunny warm morning so sat in the stunning garden and had the breakfast which was very good too. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely lunch here in the garden. The space is lovely and the position is beautiful. The people serving were really nice and friendly. The garden is well kept. We will certainly be back. Thank you.

we stayed in this BB as part of our Hadrian's Wall Hike. owner provide transportation from and to the trail. so it's actually quite convenient. BB has a beautiful garden, and a old church near by for you to visit. room is recently remodeled and super clean with nice amenities. they provide both breakfast and dinner service. you have to try their famous lentil and ham soup, it was the best lentil soup that we ever have. we will miss the soup. also David. the host is super friendly, he will provide advise and options on where to start the next day hike depending on how tire you are. Thanks David

Just pulled off for a cup of tea. Found this place. Good size tea room. Lovely outside space. Extensive menu

We arrived on the day 120 odd cyclists had come unannounced for lunch so staff were slightly struggling. Nevertheless it was great and I look forward to coming back again

Soraya and Tearoom Dave make a visit to the Simonburn tearoom a truly special event. From the moment you meet this warm and hospitable couple you feel that you are part of their family.

What an amazing find - fantastic hosts, great hospitality, beautiful rooms , grounds and guests area - yes you have a living room with a reasonably well stocked bar at really good prices . We took the option of eating in and we had the fire lit , lovely music and an attentive host - so glad we didn’t bother going to a pub !!!!

We would like to think this was a hidden gem, but it is clearly a magnet for passers by and locals alike. We sat in the garden on a delightful sunny day, and were richly entertained by other visitors, and by the owners, who are most welcoming and engaging. The food was good too...think ploughman's lunch, hot chips, bacon and egg rolls, etc. Nothing too complex, but certainly tasty and affordable. Highly recommended for a meal break; we didn't stay.

On a walking tour of Hadrian’s Wall, we spent the night here. It was the best experience after an exhaustive day of walking. Dave and Soraya were fabulous host and hostess. Very personable and warm and attentive. The whole flavor of the experience was first class. The house was very comfortable and all the food was freshly prepared and delicious.A couple of neighbors dropped by for a chat and it was so much fun!! If you are on the wall or near Hexham, this spot is a must!

Our tea and coffees were correctly served in traditional china. The scones were so light and fluffy. This is a wee gem on a place and well worth a visit.

A group of us cycled up from Newcastle area and was greeted very warmly and with it being a hot glorious day, immediately received two large jugs of iced water without even asking for it. The menu and cost was very good, the service was friendly and polite. Will definitely come back again when. Thank you!

This was our second stay in the B&B; and we were not disappointed. Hosts, Suraya and Dave are wonderful. The breakfasts are plentiful and fabulous. The setting is perfect. Dark skies for an astronomer, picturesque countryside for anyone who appreciates the outdoors. Great attention to detail in the bedrooms too. Thank you for an amazing weekend.

Soraya and Dave are excellent hosts of this beautiful establishment in the heart of the Northumberland countryside.

BIG welcome, amazing broth, masses of sarnies, lovely fire - fabulous in every respect. Ideally located on the Sandstone Way MTB route and loved by everyone who calls in or stays overnight.

A lovely quaint tea house with great cakes, scones and teas. Just one thing - please get rid of the televisions which spoil the experience. No-one is watching them and they detract from the quaintness and ambience of the place.

Having pack up our soggy tent in the least wet window of the weather forecast (too early to recall) we ended up on the road earlier than expect, too early for breakfast at Kielder Water so we carried on driving and my husband looked out for signs of food.

Well run, very clean Bed and Breakfast. Delicious breakfast. Run by a truly delightful family. We are already looking forward to a return trip.

What a lovely tranquil place, gorgeous scones and tea, charming room or sit out in the perfectly English garden, with a choice of garden furniture. I would highly recommend.

Stopped for breakfast while away Glamping. Met by the owner who was lovely. Nothing was too much trouble and cooked us a beautiful breakfast. Mushrooms were delicious (lots of people struggle to cook mushrooms to perfection) hubby enjoyed his too. Black pudding and sausages awesome too. Lovely big pot of tea and coffee with refills and set in a beautiful location. Thank you again for quality and service. Very nice start to my day.

The first B&B; Hillwalktours booked for us on our Hadrianspath hike and what a nice place it is! Big garden, beautiful cosy rooms and good beers, wines and ciders on the honesty bar.

The owners are wonderful, welcoming people. Good meal in the evening, great breakfast and perfect rooms. Dave picked us up in Chollerford and dropped us off the next morning and kept reminding us to call him if we ran in any trouble (as it was going to be a warm day). If you need a place to stay along the trail in the area of Chollerford, stay here!

I’ve stayed at a lot of nice places but this was one of the best. The owners are warm and welcoming and treat you like an old friend. Great breakfast and evening meal as well. Got a piece of fruitcake to go for my Hadrian’s Wall hike and it was excellent.

We booked a couple of nights at the B&B;, so that we could visit the Roman ruins along Hadrian's Wall (particularly Housesteads Fort, which I am a bit obsessed with). When we arrived, the first thing we noticed was how picturesque the garden is, I felt as if I could just sit there all day. We had lunch, which for me was quiche and salad, which was really tasty. It was World Cup final day and the owners kindly let us watch the match with them and their friends and we had fun trying to guess what time the next goal would be.

Un luogo veramente piacevole e riposante. Persone gradevoli e simpatiche conducono questo B&B; con un ampio giardino pieno di colori. Oltre ad un'ottima colazione è possibile fermarsi per una buona cena. Le stanze sono belle confortevoli e nuovissime, ottimo il WiFi. Adorabili e ubbidienti anche i due cagnolini di casa....

Spent a week in the country, traveling all the way from the southern tip to Hadrian’s Wall. Did nothing but bed and breakfasts for lodging. The couple that runs this B&B; were the best people I met in the whole country in my time here. Hope these reviews help guys, if you read them it’s Tyler. Thanks for everything.

Very friendly hosts and nice room with modern bathroom including good size shower. Good choice at breakfast. We were on the Hadrian's Wall walk. Unfortunately, Simonburn is two miles off the walk at right-angles to it. It is best to call and get a lift from the nearest town (Chollerford). The charge in 2018 is £3.

One of the best eateries in the area. Extensive menu with a particularly fine breakfast option. However punishing the patrons with the warblings of 'Simply Red' was uncalled for!

Came across this place quite by accident whilst working! Wow! Beautiful place, gardens and village setting. Stunning! Loved it! Lovely staff, owners. Can't wait to return!

On a sunny day, this has to be one of the best tea room gardens in the world!!

Caught up with cyclists friends for a spot of lunch. Good food great coffee friendly service and a lovely garden.

We where on our way home from Northumberland when we came across the beautiful little village of Simonburn. We found this little Tearoom quite by accident but we were so pleased we did. It was such a lovely Tearoom, so we decided to go in for lunch. We were greeted and shown to a table, we had a look at the menu and decided to try the Lasagne, salad and garlic bread and a pot of tea. We presume it is a family run establishment and as it was bank holiday, a young girl was helping out, she was so pleasant and knew her job. She brought us our lunch and it was delicious. Good food and lovely surroundings, a really good experience and would recommend to anyone. Also there is seating in the garden outside, so great on a summers day.

Popped in on a beautiful hot sunny day greeted by polite staff,sat in the lovely gardens enjoyed tea and scones a typical English afternoon in a typical English setting Fantastic. The scones were great,highly recommended

I stayed one night while walking Hadrian’s Wall Path. This was such a nice and authentically local and hospitable place to stay. If you want to get a feel for Northumbria then the inn and tearooms, food (great evening homely meal) hospitality of the owners, garden setting (plus the view of the village green and visit to the close by 13th C church) are worth checking out. You don’t have to stay the night though, people can call in for a tea or a meal. The owners made me a nice packed lunch to take on my next day’s walk.

We stayed here while walking Hadrian’s Wall and absolutely loved it. The tea room is set in the most beautiful little village. The rooms are extremely comfortable and the interiors just lovely. We had the nicest breakfast at the tea room of all the B & Bs we stayed in. The owners are extremely pleasant people and made us very welcome. As a causality of the Wall (Blisters and black little toes) they let me stay there the whole day while my friends walked on and I waited for a lift. I was extremely grateful for the hosts kindness- just lovely kind people.

Friendly approachable couple, with helpful advise about the local area, nice tea and coffee in pleasant environment

Visited the tea rooms for the first time this week half way round our bike ride. The owners could not have been more friendly. Honestly it was like meeting up with friends you haven't seen for ages. Couldn't recommend the ace highly enough. It's in a great spot to catch lots of cyclists on different rides. It's definitely worth a stop. You are assured a warm welcome and good food. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

Called in here while on a visit to Housesteads Fort, about 7 miles away, based on TA reviews.

Stopped off for lunch, we were welcomed by a wonderful young girl who told us what was available on the menu and the drinks. She was attentive without being over fussy, attentive and so polite. I have not encountered such polite, friendly and sincere service like this in such a long time. She is a real asset and could offer some valuable training to so many restaurants and coffee shops. We will definitely be back as it’s a hidden gem of a place.

While driving to Hexham we spotted a sign for this tearoom and decided to have a look glad we did. The place is not big but the welcome is they had a good choice of food for such a small tearoom which was excellent and no sooner did we order than it was on the table and as it was Sunday they had plenty of customers well done to the staff

Simonburn is a small village with an interesting church and tearooms. We had a filling lunch with tea and went out fortified into the wind and rain. The welcome and service were excellent and we liked the fire and strong tea.

Dave and Soraya were most welcoming to four cold cyclists, We phoned ahead and Dave had the fire on. About plus one degree C outside, warm and cosy inside, Tea and food freshly prepared, all day breakfast, soup, buns, cake and tea all very tasty. TV on. Dave ready to top up our bicycle tyres, and they both could not have been more helpful. to Maurice, Roger, Ken and Richard.

Stopped here for a break and coffee didn't appear to be very busy but it seemed to take forever to get served. Nice friendly staff had been a few bikers in which probably slowed the service up a bit.

Wonderful hidden gem of a vintage tea room. Very friendly . Great value for mone and the afternoon tea was 'pure lush!'

We found this great little place quite by accident while looking for accommodation for the Kielder Marathon and both my wife and I loved every minute of our stay. We found the location excellent for a quiet walk the day before the marathon to take in the scenery and relax. The hosts were outstanding with the welcome they gave and could not do enough for us, in fact we felt family.

We popped in for tea and scones, met by two delightful dogs and taken aback by how pretty the place was and a beautiful garden with lots of different seating areas. The owners were so friendly and we chatted a lot, I even ended up taking a lovely photo of the couple by their 'heart shaped' manicured bush! I wish that we had stayed there instead of the place we had already paid for. We could have chatted for hours. Would return in a heartbeat and stay in their lovely guesthouse.

This B&B; was highlighted by my hotel booking system. Sounded good so thought I would give it a try. A little off the beaten track but popular with walkers along Hadrians wall. Offering food during the day there is also B&B.; Property itself is full of character with a mix of old and modern top spec bathrooms. Open wood fire in the dining area with central heating in rooms. Breakfast was cooked to order and a full English included all the friils. Also cereals and fruit juices.

I took an elderly lady to this tea room today,it was a lovely place to have tea,coffee and scones.The man who served us was so helpful ,pleasant and kind.

I stayed here for one night before beginning my Hadrian's Wall Path hike. Soraya and Dave Tilson could not have been nicer or more accommodating: coffee and cookies on arrival, a snug room of my own, and an absolutely delicious dinner that evening. Dave drove me to the starting point the next morning and told me to call if I had any trouble along the route. And I knew he meant it and would come to my rescue if necessary! The B&B; is lovely and the nearby church and churchyard well worth a visit.

Beautiful B&B; with lovely owners who are willing to lend a hand with almost anything you can think of. From drawing maps of the surrounding area, giving advice on where to eat (and offering to drive you there and back), to checking your car before you go back home!

We stayed here as the last stop on a 2 day walk along the wall. The location is just lovely - a cute village tucked away from the main road and a fantastic place to end up at after what become something of an epic last day of walking.We were made to feel so welcome - nothing was too much trouble and the rooms are as idyllic as the pictures suggest.

What a lovely little find. We stopped by to visit the tea room and were ever so impressed with it. We sat in the beautiful garden, complete with baby and dog. We were made to feel ever so welcome. The service was impeccable and the staff ever so friendly. The food was simple but tasty, and the cake delicious. We will definitely be back to stay for the night!

The hosts Soraya and Dave picked us up at the pub where we had our dinner after walking to Chollerford along Hadrian's Wall. Staying at their B&B made us feel as though we were staying with friends. From the moment they picked us up they made us feel very much at home. When we were unpacking, I realized I had left my phone at the pub. Dave kindly offered to take us back to the pub to retrieve the phone. They have a lovely garden and we could see the garden from our upstairs room. My only regret is that we did not reach Simonburn earlier in the day. I would have loved to spend some time in the garden.We had excellent full English breakfast in the morning. As Dave drove us back to Hadrian's Wall, he told us not to hesitate to call him if any one of us needed a lift to our next B&B any time during the day!

We Followed the signs from the Chollerford to Wark road, down a country lane to Simonburn and discovered a charming farmhouse tea room.Staff were very friendly, welcoming and efficient.We both had the all day breakfast and a skinny late both of which were excellent. Obviously good quality produce had been used and it was nicely presented.Good range of food on the menu and very reasonably priced.The tea room was very clean, tidy, pleasantly arranged and comfortable with a lovely period fireplace.Some of the tables had views over the beautifully kept gardenWe would definitely visit again

We visited after reading reviews and were not disappointed. To get there you drive down gorgeous country lanes & the scenery is fab. The sandwiches & paninis were very nice, served with salad & crisps. Tables were set nicely and tea was in a china pot with proper cups & saucers. The staff were lovely and service was excellent. The tearoom also sells groceries. They garden was gorgeous & there was plenty of seating outside . The village is quintessentially English with the village green, beautiful cottages & a gorgeous church with an impressive lychgate and interesting history. Definitely worth a visit.

We all had something to eat in very relaxed circumstances. Service was very good polite and with a smile. The food was enjoyed by all. We would recommend this to anyone who enjoys thr informality of country life

In a gorgeous location, plus the added bonus of a beautiful garden, if you prefer to sit outside, this is definitely worth a visit when in the area. With a good range of homemade cakes, scones and freshly prepared delights, there is something for everyone. A big thank you to the staff (owners and young waitress) who were all very welcoming and friendly, and didn't mind at all that we arrived less than half an hour before official closing time and we certainly didn't feel pressured to rush. We will be definitely be back soon.

Having lived in Northumberland for many years it is wonderful that there are still fantastic places I haven't visited. So when seeing the sign to Simonburn Tea Rooms just off the road to Wark we were delighted to discover this wonderful tea room and the lovely village of Simonburn. The tea rooms offered just what was needed - a great range of home cooked food, with friendly service - although I guess the service would get stretched if if got very busy. The gardens looked lovely but we stayed inside to enjoy the welcoming open fire - yes, in July! Do wander into the church (which was open); the parish of Simonburn has a fascinating history, as is so often the case in Northumberland. Will be returning here sooner rather than later.

We came upon these glorious tearooms by the happy chance of seeing their wayside advert. Drove down a pretty country lane into the tiny hamlet of Simonburn,beautiful old church some lovely old cottages and a village green, but the glory is the tearooms.I admit we were so very fortunate to arrive just before mid day on a brilliantly warm sunny day, we were immediately given a really warm welcome and we took our seats in the shade in the beautiful garden, we were a party of three of us and we had each a light lunch which was delicious.The service was friendly and efficient the food was delicious, if you are ever in Northumbria then beat a path to this wonderful place, even if the weather is awful (dear old English weather) the indoor tearoom is delightful, visiting Simonburn Tearoom is a must, honestly you will not be disappointed

We were visiting a local attraction, who recommended this tearoom to us for lunch.This was a great idea. The range of food was good as was the quality. The staff were lovely and we got to meet the gorgeous dog, a tibetan terrier, who although deaf was a lovely soul. We will go again if we are anywhere near this spot.

We where walking Hadrians wall in a downpour that lasted all day, so it was fantastic to be greeted by a woodburning fire and great hosts that did everything in their power to make our stay wonderfull and it was, thank you

When you go for tea what do you look for? For me it's good food, good service & a good location, all three can be found here. We took our wheelchair bound parents here for a mid morning coffee & ended up eating lunch (or all day breakfast for some) under a parasol in the garden. I cannot recommend the tea rooms highly enough & we'll be visiting again whenever we have visitors.

the simonburn tea rooms have had quite a lot of investment since i stayed there last year. the rooms have been up graded to a very high standard, clean and fresh with a warm welcome from the new owners.

Certainly hidden for us anyway! We're very local and didn't even know it was there. Tea and lovely cake and a big garden. There's a good choice of good value food and Sunday dinner. Will return

We have been visiting Simonburn b and b since October 2016. Run by Soraya and Dave it is so welcoming, with a lovely log burner and cosy little shop.Best coffee and bacon sandwiches ever Don't pass it call in, you will enjoy your visit

lovely little village very friendly tea room stayed in the bed and breakfast 2014 very relaxing weekend

I've lived in Simonburn for almost 9 years and before Dave and Soraya took over last year I only ever popped in to buy wine. Now my other half and I find ourselves going in to savour the fabulous food over a bottle of wine and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere. Dave and Soraya have transformed the tearoom and shop not to mention the stunning B&B rooms! In all the years I've lived here I've never seen so many locals enjoying the place too! We've sat outside in the tearoom gardens enjoying hot beef dips with roast potatoes and a bottle of wine, whilst laughing that we could be in our own garden just 3 doors away eating our own food etc.... it's simply that good, we will continue to enjoy this little gem right on our doorstep.

This little gem is off the beaten track but what a place to visit, we enjoyed our team and cakes. We did think about putting in an offer to buy it as it was for sale at the time, that's how impressed we were.

First time we have visited since it was taken over...what a lovely surprise . The tearoom has had a much needed revamp but has not lost its character. Lovely staff and beautiful food.

After our late-morning walk we called at the Tearoom in Simonburn for a deserved snack.The Tearoom also doubles as the village shop and the well-maintained front garden also boasts comfortable outdoor seating.We opted to sit inside where visitors were tucking into lunch or snacks.We ordered milkshakes and a latte and three pieces of cake; Victoria sponge, lemon drizzle and chocolate cake. All cakes came served with a swirl of cream and a piece of fresh fruit - strawberry or blueberries.And they were all delicious. The Vic sponge was light; the jam and cream filling was moreish. My favourite!Staff were efficient and the tables were set with vintage china cups and fresh flowers. A pleasant visit.
