Courtyard Cafe, Claiffe Viewing Station

What a great find... short walk with family and dogs. Was a great lunch stop. All vegan food... pasties were awesome (potato peas and mint recommended). Cakes were tasty too. Open fire inside with a few tables... main seating area is outside under a shelter. Great views of Windermere and access to the ferry.

A fabulous little café near the ferry and 2 minutes away from Claife Viewing Station. Open from 10-4 every day - the opening hours do not appear on Google Maps. Lovely and friendly staff, great coffee (they also serve iced coffee), good selection of crisps and cakes, and the pasties and salad boxes are delicious. A small amount of indoor seating but lots of outdoor tables and sheltered seats in the courtyard, and a sun terrace with a delightful view. There are no toilets but free public toilets are a 4 minute walk to the ferry crossing. Very grateful to have this spot on this side of the lake ! Recommended if you are ever in the area.
