1st visit yesterday. We must of past this jewel hundreds of times. Glad we stopped this time. Great service, fantastic environment and cakes are delicious. Definitely won't be our last visit. Highly recommended

Just stopped off for a bowl of soup on our way up to Scotland. Service was good but the leek and potato soup was revolting! No flavour, it had been puréed to death and thickened with flour which made it thick and gloopy and had a texture like custard. No improvement even with salt & pepper. It could have been made with anything. The best thing was the watercress on top! And this is a farm cafe/restaurant - would have expected so much better for £6.95 a portion. It’s such a simple soup to get so wrong.We won’t be back.

What a great farm shop and gift shop (separate). Endless time could be spent browsing and buying. Nice friendly staff and just off the A66, which is very (too) handy for more visits.

Usually stop off here on the way back from the Lakes. Nice relaxed atmosphere after a long drive. Great coffee and nice meals. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Also a nice shop.
