It's closed. It looked last week (Aug 2023) that it's being redesigned/refurbished?? Note on window says they will re open. I went in early 2023 and it was fab.

My wife and I have visited the Old Post Office quite a few times now. It’s our favourite place of all time, rather bold statement! But the friendly atmosphere and greeting from husband and wife team is a delight. Everything is homemade. You feel like a child in a candy shop! The selection of sandwiches, panini’s, soups and cakes are a mouthwatering treat. The beef, relish and Stilton panini, with salad and crisps is month watering. All this is set in the most homely and interesting decor surroundings. No one will ever be disappointed. Old Beetham Post Office, gets our ‘stamp’ of approval…and licks all competition…give it a try.

Called in after seeing the good reviews and we weren't disappointed. A little shop was on the ground floor and stairs led up to an olde worlde tearoom. We just had tea/coffee and lemon and blueberry scones which were delicious and beautifully presented. The lady who served us was very pleasant. Managed to park right outside but it was a bit tight even in our smallish car. On the way to Milnthorpe we passed a layby where we would probably park next time (this would just be a flat 10 minute walk back to the tearoom). We would also have a look around Beetham. Really enjoyed our visit and the owners have made this a little gem.

The Old Post Office, situated opposite the ancient church in Beetham, is a charming place with a little shop as you enter and a lovely little tearoom upstairs. The tearoom is nicely decorated and full of old style charm with painted stone walls, exposed ceiling beams and a warming fire. From the good menu we simply had tea and coffee and shared an excellent lemon and blueberry scone. It was all rather lovely, as was the service, and we highly recommend it.

This little tea room is the best. The owners are really lovely. The cakes all home made are absolutely delicious. There is nothing bad to say except we’re sad when it’s closed. We have been on numerous occasions and hopefully will continue to do so. Thankyou

Such a lovely cafe and so lucky to have this in walking distance of home, it is the ideal place to take family and friends for coffee and cake or for some lunch. They always enjoy it just as much as we do. I have visited on several occasions for either lunch, or coffee and cake, and everything is always spot on, lovely friendly owners and the cakes are all homemade and so tasty with a great selection. The biscuit that comes with your coffee is also fab! Highly recommend

What a find after a pleasant walk through Dallam Park. Hard to find cafes of this quality and uniqueness. Stopped off for a refreshing cup of tea all served in china cups with ample refills from the pot. Homemade cakes to die for, so much choice served with a small pot of cream and fresh strawberries and blueberries. This is a cafe with old English atmosphere and calmness. You will not be disappointed on your visit, such a nice change from all the commercialised cafes of today.

Lovely little first floor cafe, which we visited after walking in the area. Cosy feel, friendly atmosphere and run by nice people. We chose paninis, which came with crisps, leaves and cous-cous with a choice of dressings. We selected from a good choice of quality teas and finished with (thoroughly recommended) Home-baked Turkish Delight Brookie with strawberries and cream. All reasonably priced for the quality. Suggest booking ahead if the sun is out, so you won't be disappointed.
