An absolutely first class experience. My wife loves Afternoon tea, and we have had a number of them in the Lake District including “The Belsfield Hotel” and “The Inn on the Lake” and I can confidently say this was the best afternoon tea we have had.
The service was exceptional from the moment we arrived, offering us ice and lemon water, down to explaining and describing the entire sandwich and cake ingredients finishing with a particular cake which would cleanse the palate. The food was a treat to savour. Absolutely top notch.
Very friendly staff made us feel welcome and will be returning...........excellent 👍

A most wonderful afternoon tea, I would personally say the best in England, also a friend ate from the lunch menu with that being perfect. Faultless 5* service and highly recommend with stunning surroundings.
Fabulous food, great staff. Location was sublime and to top it off prices were very reasonable, well worth the drive to it
This place is a gem, you want to come here for an unforgettable experience.
I will class it as fine dining but we walked in with sport attire with no question asked.
Few things to note: this place is hidden away from many visitors. Park at main car park, pay the fee (I will suggest 3 hours) then speak to the waitress about the car park.
The restaurant was tastefully decor with Edwardian design.
More importantly, the foods surprised us with layers of flavour and creativity, which you would find at high end restaurant. For the price we paid, it was a good deal.
We had 3 courses at lunch time, and all of them were delicious and mind blowing.
Special thanks to Abigail who looked after us during the meal: good service attitude and She explained the ingredients of each food.
We highly recommend this place.
What an utter delight! Such a warm greeting from extremely attentive staff. The food befits the surroundings / decorous & wonderful. We would call out Hugo who was keen we should have a good experience.
Lovely cafe/ restaurant - coffee and scone - yum!
A hidden gem in Lake District.
The menu was great, the staff was lovely. The food was well-presented and well-priced and it offers much better value than most restaurants in Windemere or Ambleside. Our 3-course a la carte lunch menu with a glass cost £70, which can be easily cost £120+ in London.
The view from the restaurant is also phenomenal.
They only open until 4pm though. It can be a perfect dinner date.
Here are some photos.
Exquisite afternoon tea 🫖🍰
Amazing sandwiches (truffle cream cheese and cucumber being a surprise highlight!), excellent tea selection and the cakes were divine.
Lovely service and beautiful views.
A lovely place to eat at a great venue for an afternoon / morning with the kids. Would recommend eating outside to enjoy the view if the weather is OK!
Great food, value and attentive service.
Lovely atmosphere and food was great
We had an excellent 3 course fine dining lunch here in a wonderful arts & crafts dining room. The food was well presented and tasted lovely & the waitress was very friendly and efficient. We hope to visit again and would definitely recommend
