The Old School Tea Room

Very good. Great little cafe in a fab location. Friendly staff, excellent service and food was very very good. Ham, eggs and chips (lovely ham and good proper chips); bacon, brie and cranberry toastie with mushroom soup, all good. Good coffee too Cakes/desserts all looked tempting but unfortunately we were both full so maybe next time. Also has gifts etc for sale. Would recommend. Thank you.

Lovely little cafe/ tea room with a fabulous selection of tasty hot foods and cakes and pastries. It also has a small gift shop selling a selection of nice little gifts for friends and family. Small car park and outdoor seating area some beautiful views looking out over the fields we spent some time watching the Rabbits, Hares and Sheep playing whilst having our lunch.

Absolutely delightful every time. Today my husband and I came to enjoy an afternoon tea together to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The weather was not on our side but this was more than certainly worth the drive. A beautiful location and view from our table followed by the best afternoon tea I have ever had. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, there was nothing that was too much trouble. Well done ladies ❤️ Highly recommend a stop here if your ever in the area.

What a wonderful place. Lunch with my elderly mum was an absolute pleasure. The building is so unique and obviously cared for… lovely flowers at the entrance. Walked in found a table and immediately felt relaxed and at ease in the lovely surroundings. We decided what to eat and placed our order with a delightful young lady at the till… Ella was friendly and so welcoming. The food was great and the coffee top notch… thanks Katie 😊 Best cappuccino in The Dales by far! Surrounded by a selection of well chosen gift ideas we left with a beautiful vase. We will definitely be back. Ignore any negative reviews. You have created something quite special and we will certainly recommend you to others and return again and again.

We visited this tea room on the recommendation of friends, and while the location is lovely (especially if you're walking from Grassington), the experience left a lot to be desired. The service we received from one of the staff, a middle-aged lady who looked to be in her 50s, was poor. She offered no greeting, no smile, barely made eye contact and took our order with the enthusiasm of someone who clearly didn’t want to be there. Midway through our order, she stopped serving us completely to listen in on a conversation between another staff member and a customer, despite the fact that someone else was already helping him. We were left standing awkwardly while she took her time looking in their direction until she decided she was done listening, with no apology or acknowledgement when she finally returned to us. We ordered two ice cream milkshakes at just under £9. The menu lists four flavours, giving the impression that they’re made with actual flavoured ice cream. Instead, it seems they use plain vanilla ice cream with a flavoured syrup, which should really be made clearer. The younger waitresses seemed friendly and polite, but the attitude of the lady who served us has unfortunately put us off returning. It’s a shame, because the place is charming and the view is lovely. If you’re in the area, I’d suggest bringing your own picnic and sitting by the stream just past the tea room instead.
