## About Dale Head Farm Shepherds Hut

Tucked at the head of Rosedale on the edge of the North York Moors, Dale Head Farm is a working hill farm renowned among walkers for Maggie's homemade cakes and a tea garden with sweeping views over the moorland valley. The single shepherd's hut sits in its own paddock – handy for guests arriving with horses – and comes thoughtfully equipped with a wetroom, woodburner, fridge, air fryer and a breakfast hamper including porridge, flapjack and croissants. There's a utility room with washers and dryers, plus secure bike storage and repair facilities for cyclists tackling the surrounding trails.

The moorland setting is made for stargazing after sunset, and the hut's little arbour provides a cosy spot to settle with coffee or wine. Long walks, mountain biking and wildlife spotting are all on the doorstep, while in snowy weather the steep hills double as sledging runs. Reviewers highlight the cafe's gluten-free options, spotless facilities and warm welcome, though with just one pitch, availability fills quickly. Whether you're here for the stunning views or the slices of cake, this remote corner of North Yorkshire delivers on both.

## What visitors say

Kristin Rainey ★★★★★

We happened upon this lovely place completely by accident. The ladies inside were so friendly and the pie and fruit scones were delicious. An absolute hidden treasure. So glad the road we took ended there.

Chris Fletcher ★★★★★

Wonderful find. Quality meals with local ingredients. Cakes are homemade and excellent. Card payments and cash. Wifi.

Emma M-D ★★★★★

Really remote, back of beyond, down single track roads, but so worth it. Hospitality was 10/10, such a selection of tasty cakes all served with a sliced piece of strawberry and orange, really thoughtfully presented. The decor is beautiful, as is the attention to detail in the garden too. The views are to die for and this is the perfect stop on a walk round the valley or starting point, especially for visiting the nearby kilns and remains of the iron mines, which are also spectacular. This place is also dog friendly.

Fantastic place, beautiful garden with flowers and fantastic view, gorgeous homemade food. I had mackerel pate which had a lovely lemony taste, and the courting cake with fresh strawberries and homemade jam was delicious. An island of serenity.
