The Bothy Cumbria in Eden

While looking for food we stumbled on this lucky find. The Bothy is a very welcoming themed cafe, due to most other venues in Kirby Stephen only serving drinks that day the bothy was busy but we still received a warm welcome and advised we would have a wait, we didn’t mind so placed our order. The food was different, not the cheapest but absolutely delicious, the staff even though very busy were so polite and kept us informed of progress with our order. A bit more of an offer for children would be a bonus.

Went in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised with this place. Lovely inside cosy seats and nice places to sit. Pizza was really good and coffee was one of the best cappuccinos I’ve had (and I’ve had lots). Will come again. Would particularly like to go when it’s open in the evening. Staff friendly too though I have to say that they didn’t wear face coverings.

Shockingly good coffee that wouldn't be out of place in London or Seattle. We had flat whites and a slice of lavender and lemon drizzle cake and ended up with a second round of both. The outdoor shop has the best selection I have seen in a small town as well. Massive quantities of approach, mountaineering, walking, climbing, and trail running gear. Don't miss this place!

I called in with my child and friend. There wasn't a large choice of cakes despite being only opened. We ordered two coffees and a juice which cost £8.15. The coffee cups are small and literally 3 mouthfuls it's gone. We did query about slice of cake to be told it was £4.25 a slice. If they are going to charge that the portions/cups needed to be bigger.

The food was great with a warm cost atmosphere. Great outdoor shop attached. The restaurant is dog friendly and has a resident chief dog on site!

Very dog friendly, and a great menu - a hidden gem in the back of the outdoor/walking shop. The tandoori loaded wedges were especially good!

Warm welcoming and delicious homemade food served with love! I don’t know who was happier- Georgie our ragamuffin dog who was treated to cuddles, fresh water and a dog bed or us with our freshly roasted coffee served by a roaring fire. Thank you ladies!

We visited the Bothey last week with my baby. What a warm friendly space to sit books fireplace dog friendly also which is perfect. The food is all homemade and made with passion and love, vegan options, and so tasty. we enjoyed a warm wholesome soup with warm bread.. Will be making this a regular visit.. Nothing was too much for the ladys there really felt looked after. Thankyou.

Dog very friendly, even providing mats and water. Good coffee and cake. Great place for morning coffee.

This café was recommended to us when we stayed near Kirkby Stephen where we were staying on holiday. Dog friendly with water bowls and even dog beds for the dog to lie on. Try the Mexican wedges which were delicious.

What a breath of fresh air to have so much choice of delicious food in a gluten free cafe. Most definitely will be going back. The chocolate brownie is the best!
