Fitzroy Cafe

Stopped in at the cafe following a very enjoyable visit to the Yorkshire Arboretum. Had a fabulous Chicken, bacon & cheese club sandwich with chips and garlic mayo washed down with a Becks Blue which was ice cold. Perfect on a hot late summer day. Despite being busy the service was fast and friendly.

Visited the garden centre & cafe - staff in both areas so friendly and respectful to customers. Really wheelchair friendly and accessible - for anyone who hasn't been before needing an accessible parking space, there are some nearer to the garden centre which we didn't realise. Ordered a sandwich from the cafe - gluten intolerant - sausages aren't gluten free, but their bacon is really nice and they are able to provide gluten free bread. Again, staff really friendly & respectful of customers and their needs. Planning to visit again to see the house and gardens, but even if you're just wanting a morning out it's a lovely drive out and there's plenty if you're not wanting to spend on entry to the house or gardens.

Good for a half day out. Gardens are very nice, I really liked the woodland with the little piramid in the middle. The house however not really my cup of tea, there isn't really that much to see, most places inside are unaccesable. I won't be going there again. This place would really benefit from a boat or kayak hire by the lake.

This is the first time we have actually visited the house and oh my word...it is stunning...the 12 days of Christmas theme running through the house was unbelievable...the attention to detail...the family traditions/decorated twig trees etc...were outstanding...the volunteers were very knowledgeable.....this albeit on a grand scale feels like a home full of love......and its do lovely and warm too. Well worth the entry fee.......the tress and decorations were all outstanding. The additional heated marquees for cafe/dining were an added bonus particularly as it was getting busy when we left. Highly recommend a visit....im so impressed im organising memberships.
