Lovely setting in a fabulous old building but falls far short of its potential. Menu choices very traditional/dated, food quality just adequate, coffee poor. Staff (all three of them) oddly lacking in any warmth whatsoever. Not dog-friendly so limited to sitting outdoors, which would be ok if the tables/benches weren’t so dirty, and in some cases rotten. With the summer coming, someone could at least sand them down and do some basic maintenance. Feels a bit like they’d given up.

What a gem of a place. Great coffee and really great cakes - all home cooked we had the carrot cake and Gingerbread. We'll worth a visit

Had our monthly ice cream fix from the Old Smithy Tea Rooms. The homemade ice cream is as always fantastic....so good we travel from Seascale 40 miles away for it. An added bonus was home made mince pies. We bought two to take out. They were absolutely delicious. Really love this place. An absolute gem in a wonderful village.

El título se refiere a lo que tuvimos en el salón de té. Aunque la selección es limitada, es "Bien vale la pena el valor", (tienen un helado encantador. Al investigar el pueblo, sabíamos que John Peel está enterrado en el patio de la iglesia, así como la "Doncella de Buttermere", pero para lo que no estábamos preparados era el costo de los artículos en las tiendas de regalos. Algunos de los artículos pequeños en la "tienda de lana" eran muy caros, algunos de los libros eran los mismos (20 para un libro de patrones). Me pregunto si alguna vez venden algo. La tienda de artesanía era la misma (18 por un bolígrafo). Nos dimos por vencidos en este punto y decidimos que cualquier recuerdo de Caldbeck sería ir a dar un paseo por el arroyo y el pueblo en sí, sin olvidar el (La taza de té para dos con un bollo, con mermelada y crema coagulada) en el The Old Smithy Tea Room por solo 3. Quizás el resto de las tiendas del pueblo deberían tomar la iniciativa de The Old Smithy.

Staying in Caldbeck this week and called in here for breakfast today after our morning doggie walk. We received a very warm welcome and the Full English Breakfast we both had was excellent. Will definitely be back !!

Cosy little tearoom. Staff are welcoming and service is great. Scones were delicious and a nice treat after a long drive. Dogs welcome.

Tried this for breakfast and coffee with cake too. A great little place on the riverside. I hear it does lunch too.

We just walked 9.5 miles and were looking forward to a nice cuppa. Tea was ok but Carrot cake was dry (probably been sitting around a few days as was last piece). Lady running the place needs some social skills! Very unwelcoming and dour. Go elsewhere.

Having walked 3 miles from our holiday lodge to the village we had earned a coffee and sausage cob. Well sorry but customers appear to be a problem to the lady running the cafe on the Sunday. The coffee was nothing special and the deep fried cheap sausage in 2 slices of cheap white bread a disapointment... I would avoid and visit the pub or the other village cafe

The review posted yesterday under 'Roger M' is in fact mine. (Senior moment!!!) It doesn't detract from the fact that this is a very nice tea room set in a lovely village. The tea room serves excellent drinks and has a variety of food,jams etc on offer. Well worth a try

Found this tea room on last but one day of our holiday. Wish we'd found it earlier. Frontage doesn't seem much, but open the latch door and you enter a really nice tea room with wonderful selection of cakes, jams, drinks etc, all served by very pleasant staff. Well worth a visit

Called in for a cup of tea and scone with jam and cream. Waiting at the table for our order there was flies flying around and landing on the table! The scone arrived with my tea. As I cut into it it seemed dry. When I tried to spread the butter on to the scone it just fell to pieces. It was clearly a stale scone. I asked for a replacement and explained why. It took around 10 mins for the next scone to arrive. We were the only people on the cafe so found it a little strange. The scone was warm but the centre was very cold. This was obviously a scone out of the freezer. Very disappointing!!

Caféet tillverkar sin egen glass och den var mycket god! Vi provade inte deras smörgåsar men det var ett brett sortiment.Sittplatser ute på gräsmattan eller inne på caféet.

Hoy la vieja herrería encontramos sala de té en Caldbeck durante un ciclo de gestión del club. Éramos dos grupos de una docena en cada uno y el personal a pesar de tener ningún aviso de nuestra llegada se aseguró de que estábamos sentados y se sirve lo más rápidamente posible. Dentro la decoración es fantástica y la comida es muy recomendable. Las sopas, desayunos y pasteles chilis, todos eran perfectos. Esto suena ridículo, lo sé - pero incluso huevos y frijoles en tostadas aquí un aspecto genial. No pase aquí. Yo le. Gracias muchísimo para hoy y nos llamarán antes la próxima vez para que no te sorprenderá.

Went for lunch to the Old Smith Tea Room a couple of weeks ago. The soup we had was absolutely delicious and the sandwich was made with beautiful bread. We were too full for a cake as well but we'll definitely be going back another...

Visitamos durante las vacaciones de verano en Monkhouse Hill Cottage a pocas millas de distancia. La señora no era muy acogedor y verdaderamente amable hacia mi familia. Los batidos era increíble y, aunque pedimos 2 todos pudimos probar, ya que todo el mundo nos hubiera gustado que hubiera ordenado, a los niños les encantaba sirvieron en botellas de leche. Precios muy razonables y en un lugar en el que te da un montón de mantequilla para las tartas de té. Así que me alegro de que nos hizo el viaje a través de otro sitio Caldbeck hubiéramos perdido esta pequeña joya!

Called in for lunch during a walk and had very nice freshly prepared sandwiches and tea. Service not perfect, being a trifle slow, but overall, a good visit. Outdoor toilet round side of building is perfectly adequate.

What a lovely restaurant with fabulous food and great staff. We were staying close by and had seen great reviews about the restaurant so we had to try it….not just once but two nights in a row it was that good. On the first night my husband had lamb shoulder which was cooked to perfection and fell off the bone, I had salmon and prawns which were equally as good. The second night it was seafood platter for my husband and sweet and sour chicken for me. Both meals were very good and it was great to have so much to choose from. It was a pleasant change to be able to choose the accompaniment to the meals rather than just chips with salad or veg. The staff were very attentive and polite. All in all it was a great experience and would definitely recommend this restaurant.

The restaurant is part of Lodore Falls Hotel and Spa. The breakfast, is poor quality ingredients which are largely tasteless. The milk jug was dirty, the staff seemed miserable (expect for two chaps who were welcoming and happy). All in all, very poor and I won’t be back.
