Excellent coffee and yummy scone. Beautiful cafe. Stylish cafe and friendly owner. The cafe is definitely OPEN. CYCLISTS welcome. Everyone is welcome. Please note that there are internal stairs up to the cafe. Will be back!

We were looking for somewhere to stop for a bite to eat on our way up to the Lakes. We came across the River Bela cafe and certainly weren't disappointed! A lovely little place with friendly hosts and delicious food. All this and dog friendly too, which is a must for us. We had the lovely home baked, hand carved ham sandwiches. On the way back home 2 days later we couldn't resist calling in again, this time for a lovely cooked breakfast - scrumptious! We will definitely be returning and recommending to friends and family.

Arrived to find a decent car park which is always handy. Upon checking in, the welcome was warm, to a traditional looking hostelry with loads of character and the guy who showed us to our room was really sweet. The room was cosy, clean and had a decent bathroom with plenty of hot water and a brilliant shower. The setting is beautiful, just off the main road but you would never know as it is really peaceful and a lovely view across to the village church. The bar and restaurant staff were a joy and nothing was too much trouble for them, they even welcomed the “lively” dog that came in tow. A good selection of drinks were available. Breakfast was to die for, delicious. We didn’t eat in the restaurant as we were visiting family but will be sure to next time. Can’t recommend The Wheatsheaf enough, and amazing value as well.

terrible will never use again went fir fish and chips no fish only been open 20 mins fishcake you can buy from Asda 3.25 it was aswell. Chip butty got more chips in a macdonalds happy meal and rubbery too

Terrible food. ! Dark , hard overcooked batter on the fish which was inedible. Chips were dark in colour and soggy. Gravy was so lumpy and thick, it was impossible to pour. A very disappointing meal and an annoying waste of money! It has really gone downhill now
