West Winds Yorkshire Tearooms in Craven

Paul and Angela are excellent hosts. The breakfast was nicely cooked and all you'd want to start the day - quality and quantity. Rooms on the small side especially the twin which was cramped. The nicely done out bathroom was shared by four of us but that wasn't an issue. Convenient for the pub next door!

Absolutely fantastic B&B. Angela the host could not have done any more to make the stay perfect. Great location, spotless bedroom and bathroom, lovely breakfast and caring host. If you are looking to stay in or around Buckden, this is the place for you!

Top notch B&B. Great welcome, seriously comfy bed, spotless. Lovely home made shortbread. Superb breakfast and a lovely hostess. Right behind the Buck Inn so very convenient.

This is a fantastic place to stay while walking the Dalesway. Superb accommodation completely private to the rest of the house. Very comfortable and quiet. Angela is the perfect host and her cooking is wonderful!

A warm welcome, very comfortable bed, delicious food, very close to the Buck Inn - what's not to like?? Highly recommended.

I stayed at West Winds B&B for a night while walking the Dales Way. I got a really warm welcome and everything was clean, organised and well thought out. Very comfortable bed and a fantastic breakfast the following morning. The packed lunches are recommended too! I'll visit again if I can.

Took my Wife there while on the way to Aysgarth, We were the only ones there, surprisingly enough although it was mid week. We just had a soup, pudding & tea each, everything was nice, the price was reasonable & everything was clean. We will go again!

Very warm welcome with absolutely mouthwatering cake x coffee on arrival. Room clean x comfortable x breakfast lovely. We also had a packed lunch which sustained us through the next 16mile walk.. Also 2 very cute kittens.

On holiday in the Dales, eight of us who had been on three different walks converged on West Winds tearoom. It was busy, and full up inside (not surprising as it was a sunny Saturday afternoon) but there was a table free in the most delightful garden, bright with late summer flowers. We were told we would have to wait 20 - 25 minutes, but it didn’t seem that long when out order arrived. The tea pot came with extra hot water, always a sign of a class establishment, but what surprised me was that my fruit scone, and the cheese scone ordered by one of my friends were already buttered. And for the person who ordered a cream tea, the jam and cream were already on the scone. The scones all seemed to be freshly baked, and there was a choice of cakes which other members of the party sampled.

We stopped for afternoon tea and the tearooms look lovely but the welcome was warm and friendly. What lets this place down is the lack of hospitality, no warmth from the host. We had a dog and was told we had to sit outside, that’s fine then the rain started. We moved indoors, I had to have my tea on the stairs in the porch while I looked after my dog. How many cages would allow a customer to sit on the stairs. You can't leave a dog tied up. In this day and age, most hotels and cafes allow well behaved dogs in. I work for a luxury hotel company and dogs are very welcome in our hotels. It wasn’t busy so they could have made an exception, it's thier cafe but it's how they looked after their customers is my concern. The lack of friendliness made this visit my last. If you have a dog try somewhere else.

The health of my pet chimp "Norman" has deteriorated significantly since his untimely and unexpected death following a cycling accident near the village of Buckden in 2017. Each year I return to Buckden to celebrate this amazing chimpanzees life and reminisce on the many happy times we shared together cycling the length and breadth of the Yorkshire Dales.

Beware of the stairs down from the bathroom, rooms are small but in keeping with the cottage. Beds v comfortable and it’s lovely and quiet. A delicious breakfast, welcoming host and the ‘legendary’ packed lunch truly was - gorgeous homemade cake and the best ham and pickle sandwiches!

Although I’ve stayed in Buckden before yesterday was the first time I had visited and how I regret it. A lovely tearoom with hospitable friendly staff. The menu is varied so there is something for everyone. I chose the cheese scone with cream cheese and smoked salmon, beautiful as was the chose of filter coffee. Would recommend highly and I hope to visit again when I’m next in the dales.

Lovely warm tearoom serving a wide range of delicious homemade cakes and tray bakes. Great service. A real gem of a find after a beautiful, if somewhat chilly walk.

We recently went to West Winds for lunch. We chose the venison & ale pie with salad and home made sloe gin jelly and followed this with a cake and a pot of tea. The pie was packed with meat and was delicious, especially combined with the salad and jelly and the cake was, quite literally, amazing! We find this traditional Yorkshire tea room very enjoyable and also the food is delicious and often unusual. It is a refreshing change. Peter and Sue

Great stay at this idyllic place with wonderful welcome from Lynn & Stephen. Breakfasts & Afternoon teas pretty amazing. Long may they run...

I searched quite extensively for affordable accomodation on the Dales Way and West Winds fit the bill. I arrived late and I thought this may be a problem but Stephen was completely fine with this and showed me to my room and advised that if I wanted some food that the Buck Inn were still serving. I had a great night sleep and woke up to a brilliant breakfast which set me up for my long walk that day. I wasnt expecting the quality of the service considering how much I paid. I would highly reccomend West Winds Yorkshire Tearooms and I can definitely see myself returning in the future.

We went for lunch and without doubt, everything is indeed home made. My ham sandwich was superb but my husband's quiche a little bit light on filling - but he did admit, some prefer that. His only disappointment was the rather weak coffee - again a matter of preference although he prefers it stronger.

We popped into Buckden having read reviews on West Winds Tearoom and were not disappointed.

We visit Buckden at least twice a year and a definite highlight is a visit or two or three to West Winds. In fact at the end of a day we try to get back in time for a cup of tea and cake.

I arrived after a long hot day on the Dales Way in time to eat at the tearooms, thus saving a trip to one of the nearby villages for an evening meal. Fresh and herby soup, followed by quiche and salad were all delicious.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon expecting it to be busy so booked beforehand. Had wanted to sit outside in the garden as was a beautiful day but was unable to because there were bench type tables and I couldn’t get my leg over to sit down, so we ate inside and were the only people in there. Yes was lovely choice of sandwiches with fresh herby salad scones with jam and cream and choice of home made cake. I had to take some home as I could not eat it all. There is a lovely garden full of herbs and a quaint toilet up the garden with a blackboard for messages well worth a visit

Charming ambience, 'back in time' country tea shop with gorgeous cottage garden, china tea cups (& oceans of tea) delicious & very reasonably priced food, friendly service. What's not to like!!

Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area! The food was gorgeous in the flower garden. Great portions and super cheap prices compared to the competition in the local area. Must visit!!!!!

Staying at the nearby NT Town Head Barn, we popped in here after a long, hard day for tea and cake. Unfortunately, it rained just as we got there so we went inside. Lovely and cosy with a great selection of cakes. Custard tart and Coffee cake were gorgeous. The scones came already split and sandwiched together with cream and jam but were delicious.

On a fine day sitting in the garden with some delicious and well priced food and drink, one is charmed by this place.

Following a recommendation we had afternoon tea after a ten mile hike round Buckden Pike. The scones and jam where excellent very tasty homemade and fresh. Coffee was also really good. I would certainly put a visit on your itinerary

This place is a hidden gem and gutted we didn't get chance to go back. The scones were delicious, staff friendly and garden beautiful!

After a very hot first days walking we arrived exhausted in buckden. Our host made us a welcome cup of tea and we had the best Yorkshire curd tart any of us had ever tasted. The rooms are old fashioned with a dangerous step out of the bathroom overhanging the stairs but for us this all added to the quirky charm. No ensuite! There couldn't have been a warmer welcome though or a more hospitable hostess. The food here clearly makes up for the lack of facilities. Breakfast was toasted museli with honey and yogurt. We chose to forgo the cooked. Our packed lunch was a generous sandwich with fruit and homemade cake of your choice. We will be back to visit the cafe.

Paramos aquí después de conducir desde Escocia ayer. Estábamos de paso y pensamos que lo pop en para el almuerzo. . . Qué joya!

Lovely B&b; in the heart off the dales .Beautiful place would recommend visiting if in the area. The home made cakes a must

Had an amazing afternoon tea with all the family. Felt like we'd stepped back in time - yummy sandwiches and homemade scones and cakes presented beautifully in what could have been my granny's living room. So comforting. And very good value.

Staying at West Winds is a delight. Simple but very comfortable accommodation, Lynn and Stephen are excellent hosts. Breakfasts are delicious. Having had a long day on The Dales Way the tea and cake on arrival at West Winds were very welcome and very yummy.

Llamado para refrescos y no nos decepcionó. Excelente selección de tés/café, etc. Nos sentamos en el interior por el clima - ligeramente nublado y amenazando lluvia (era festivo el lunes, así que ¿qué esperas? ) ;-) Preciosa vistas y el bizcocho estaba fabuloso. Realmente razonable, en cuanto al precio. El menú también tenía muy buena pinta, y me atrevería a decir que volveremos a cenar en algún punto en el futuro. Un lugar encantador. Gracias. . . !

Mientras explora los valles de Yorkshire con amigos el domingo 9 de abril, y busca una opción adecuada para el pub empaquetadas normalmente pic domingo, descubrimos este pequeño tesoro, escondido lejos de la carretera principal de Skipton a Aysgarth. Aparentemente un hotel dirigido por una familia (2 familias. . ? ) que sirve tés, cafés, almuerzos, y así sucesivamente. Alcohol, ninguno de los habituales turistas de fin de semana, el evento de la cerveza pero aparentemente popular con excursionistas, senderistas y aquellos que lloran, subiendo y bajando los Dales en bicicletas. . ! El almuerzo era bastante agradable, y nuestra elección fue un gran budín de Yorkshire con salsa y tres salchichas locales decepcionantemente, eso fue todo, como verduras y patatas para no ir con ella, que era sorprendente. El personal de servicio, en su mayoría jóvenes de edad escolar senior sobre aparentemente, todos eran agradables y serviciales, pero claramente inexperto.

Tucked away in a quiet lane these tea rooms are a very pleasant blast from the past. The floral tea cups and saucers were like Sunday tea at grandmother's. Only had tea and cake so can't comment on the wider menu; however a finer cup of tea you wouldn't find and the cakes were delicious with a homemade quality. We were unfortunately relegated to the garden as the place is not dog friendly (my only cristicism) but that in itself was a pleasant experience given the country cottage feel. Inside, the tea rooms are quaint and old fashioned in an appealing way. Service was good with very pleasant and polite waitresseses.

Lovely little tea room and cafe in the village just past the village green. Potential to sit outside in the garden in better weather. Tea and cakes were excellent value and charmingly served.

Brilliant little place the lunches cream teas and early evening meal have all been excellent. Someone works very hard to cook amazing foods

Fabulous location, a great place to reward yourself after a lovely walk. Gorgeous homemade cakes in a traditional tea house. Highly recommend the brandy fruit cake served in the traditional Yorkshire way with a generous slice of Wensleydale cheese.

Langs de B6160 in de Yorkshire dales in Buckden staan een 3 tal borden die verwijzen naar West Wind Tea Rooms Hier wilden we op zaterdag 13 augustus een after noon tea nemen. Parkeerde de auto op de parkeerplaats betaalde 2,5 pound en liepen naar de tea room. Echter bleek deze gesloten te zijn. De man die het gras aan het maaien was reageerde, we zijn gesloten toen ik hem duiden op de diversen borden langs de weg voor de tearoom was zijn reactie daar staat niet op de we open zijn. Maar ook niet dat ze gesloten zijn. Dat een bezoeker daar 2,5 pound voor moet betalen om daar achter te komen was niet zijn probleem.

Lovely location and lovely place. The mint pasty is not something that I have tried before. Lovely wooden sculptures in the gsrdens

Lovely quaint old place full of charm..mLynn is very kind and attentive greeting all with complimentary tea and cakes...yummy breakfast as well.Our room was cosy and comfy..mone word of warning tho'...not en suite(and house bathroom has no shoeer and tiny bath)so if you fussy bout such matters this is not the place for you.The price reflects this and if you like your stays to be quaint and quirky this is real value for money..?we love it!!!

Had an afternoon cream tea. The place was clean and airy, the tea was excellent and good value. Down side it is not visible from the main road and not always open.

Really excellent home cooking and tea and scones served perfectly. Very welcoming and peaceful yet in the heart of the village

we had tea and scones once (sadly it wasn't open all the time we were in Buckden)all fantastic & lovely, friendly peoplenot to be missed if you're in Buckdendefinitely worth the short walk up from the Dales Way

If you're passing through Buckden make sure you pop in here! Had a very pleasant lunch and a great pot of tea!

Lovely tearoom & B&B. Friendly welcome for Lynn of a brew & cake which is always good! Comfy bed & a hot shower was just what was needed!

Pretty and peaceful garden in sunshine, or tables inside. Good range of homemade or local offerings, from scones and cakes, to sandwiches or tasty speciality pies.

… tucked away on a side street in Buckden away from the main road … a lovely little Cafe garden terrace and scrumptious home made cakes!! … a must for the weary walker

Walking the Dales Inn Way so Buckden is an obvious night stop and there is little accommodation. This Tea Room (yes it is actually a tea room -they still exist) also does B&B. It is small , I think it has only 2 singles and a double and as my two male hetrosexual friends found out it is not two singles! You are met by complimentary Tea and cake which was very welcoming. The stairs are quite narrow and steep so it won't suit all. There is a shared bathroom with bath but no shower unless you want to attach rubber hoses to the taps. It is not suitable for the elderly or infirm as the access to the bathroom is actually part of the stairs, so you could easily walk out and find yourself down the stairs. They dont do meals but the Buck Inn is just opposite and there is sometimes a small restaurant open in the village. A very friendly stay.

Being in idyllic surroundings is what the Dales are all about. The garden fits that criteria and to cap it off the cakes and drinks are sublime. Cannot fault it. Our little boy is wheelchair bound and though I managed the stairs I noted that the flat path was a little overgrown with nice flowers. I would have damaged them had I gone that way. I did not go inside but my wife assures me it was lovely. You will not be disappointed.

This is a great little find. A tea room behind the Buck Inn at Buckden.They serve locally sourced food and freshly baked. We had tea for two, a cheese sandwich and a scone (jam and cream) each.The quality of the tea and food was excellent. The sandwich was really tasty, the scone really high quality.The staff were really pleasant. The location is excellent. The quality of the tea room and quaintness made for a really lovely stop off.The overall cost was around £10 which we thought was very good value.

Myself and my husband visited here on bank holiday Sunday. We had some really lovely food and lovely service by a young girl who is a credit to the west winds. I ordered a tuna mayonnaise sandwich which was described on the menu as pole and line caught which I thought was a great thing to put as I would never order tuna mayo while out just in case it was cheap tuna that normally is very fishy which I hate. I saw it was in brown bread which I cant have, so asked if I could have it in white and the lovely waitress said they didn't have white sliced bread but they could do it in a white roll which was lovely and fresh with a crusty top. I also ordered some really nice cheese and caramelised onion crisps which come in a lovely resealable tube which was great and very tasty. My husband went the complete opposite and had sausages in gravy in a large Yorkshire pudding, served with homemade mint sauce, followed by homemade blackberry pie and ice cream. He said it was all delicious and we had this with tea for two. The menu is refreshingly different you can have a cold sandwich like me or home made pies of all sorts of fillings along with many cakes, and all the items have a detailed info on were they are sourced really nice touch. You can also buy anything to take away we bought some wensleydale cheese with fruit cake which is gift wrapped in a lovely box with ribbon and also there are jams and many other items to buy as gifts. If you go to Buckden and would like a home made meal give them a go. They also do B&B

We where staying in Buckden on holiday and had a walk up to the tearooms with the intentions of having a meal. What put us off was the member of staff we wanting some information on the menu, but she did not seem interested not even a smile, so when we more or less had the door closed in our faces we left..........
