@thepool cafe (Richmond Swimming pool) in Richmondshire

Missed out on first visit as closed, so made a detour to try the fruit cake and cheese. It was delicious along with very good scones, cream and jam. Generous pots of tea too. Great after a walk in the Dales

Great choice for a family meal as part of a Dales mini-break. Superb welcome from Paul, fabulous food prepared by pam - all in a wonderfully designed restaurant. If you are staying in or near Hawes, this is a definitely a restaurant to experience...

Just an outstanding place to stay! The owners think of everything and nothing is too much trouble. Luxurious yet affordable...

Oh what a fab lil quaint country tea room with such a huge varied menu. Opted for the soup of the day and cheese scone…. Absolutely yummy! Carrot & butternut squash… and my man had home made quiche with an array of salad 😋 .. only came in for coffee and cake!!!! … so had the savoury and had to select one of at least 12 cake choices to take away!!… that was decisions!!. Very reasonably priced … when in Aysgarth u must visit. Oh and I was told the lovely kitchen cook makes the daily soup and the wonderful cheese scones… I wonder if she makes all those scrummy cakes?! Will b back xx

Excellent meal in an amazing setting, staff were friendly, and the food exquisite. It was great to meet the chefs, and the front of house staff were happy to chat and answer any questions you might have.
