Tag's Bistro, Lockton in Ryedale

A canine cuddle cafe is the sort of place one would expect to find in the trendier parts of London which is why it was such a surprise to come across this little gem in Malton. That said, Malton has been awarded the title 'dog friendliest town in the UK.' We just love this cafe where several different breeds of happy dogs (which all belong to the cafe owner) are available for endless cuddles. The cuddles are accompanied by a variety of teas, coffees and home baking. Thalia, the owner, informed us that the venue and a selection of doggies can be hired for children's parties. Apparently an alcohol licence can be obtained for grown up parties. A visit to Malton would not be complete without a visit to Mixmups. We highly recommend. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

We had an amazing stay and meal yesterday. Gorgeous room and gorgeous food! 10/10 - highly recommend!

We love Helmsley and fancied afternoon tea. Having tried to book at a couple of local places, we popped into Number 12 as we walked from the car park. I had afternoon tea, my husband had a farmhouse platter. Absolutely delicious, great value and huge portions. The ham was top quality, sausage rolls were delicious and I had the best treacle tart ever as part of the afternoon tea. Do go and eat there, you will not be disappointed!

We stayed for bed and breakfast here. The house is in a beautiful peaceful setting overlooking meadows. Hosts very friendly. Comfortable bedroom. The TV reception is scrambled and there is no phone signal - so I would recommend enabling WiFi calling on your phone and bring a book 😃

From the warm welcome on entering, the excellence of the front of house and waiting staff to the amazing food. The smoked haddock and cheese souffle was sublime. The lamb dish was cooked to perfection. I look forward to my next visit.
