   Went for my Mother in laws birthday. Came all the way from Manchester to be with her. What a lovely place. The food was amazing. I had tomato and basil soup which is the nicest I’ve ever tasted. It came with an home made bread roll which was so soft and tasty. I had a cheese scone along with this that was also so light. The selection of cakes is amazing too, They brought cake out for Rita and sang happy birthday. Such lovely people. Would definitely recommend

   What a fantastic little place. We popped in yesterday afternoon at the end of a long walk on the Wolds Way. We has a cup of tea, served in a pot. And 2 delicious cakes - carrot (dairy free) and ginger. The selection to choose from is incredible and they all looked delicious. The other couple in the cafe at the same time certainly enjoyed their scones. The lady serving was incredibly friendly and helpful. One final thing worth mentioning is that the cafe itself is beautifully decorated with loads of great little pictures, ornaments etc. I would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

   What a lovely experience we had in this traditional tea room. There was a warm and friendly welcome, and the cake display, gosh it was a feast for the eyes. The owner was really allergy aware and knew the ingredients of everything. Everything, is homemade, even the beautifully soft and light bread rolls which is so unusual. The smooth, rich, warming bowl of carrot and coriander soup felt wicked and healthy at the same time. We had a big selection of treats afterwards, a combination of greed and indecision. The scones were light, fresh and full of flavour. The coffee and walnut cake was traditional, rich, and moist with the perfect amount of icing. The generous portion of millionaires slice had a delicious thick toffee layer that wasn't overly sweet with buttery shortbread, and of course we tried the tiffin which had a very slightly chewy bite to it, richly chocolatey with a flake chocolate finger on the top. We were lucky enough to sit outside in the glorious sunshine where the owner, Rachel, and her husband Ken provided friendly and attentive service. Our visit here was such a lovely experience, I'd highly recommend going.

   What a total delight. Parking is very limited, but there is ample free parking in the village. Rachel gave me a warm welcome with her husband, Ken, on washing up duty. A huge wood burner makes this welcoming too. A nice young girl waiting on who was willing to learn and asked the right questions. I had a delicious jacket potato with cheese and beans followed by some perfect coffee and walnut cake. All dishes are made fresh on the day by Rachel. Reasonably priced. Clean disabled toilet. This property is disabled friendly. I will be back.

   Stopped at this very pretty tearoom for coffee and cake this afternoon whist out and about. Beautifully presented China crockery with my tea and a tall glass with the latte. We chose a piece of coffee and walnut cake and a piece of fruit cake, served with a slab of Wensleydale! Both cakes were homemade and delicious! Excellent value too! Thank you :) Oh and it’s worth saying there is parking for a small number of cars at the top of the driveway but plenty of tables, so walkers and cyclists would do well here too :)
