Excellent food, large portions. Cakes and baked goods looked wonderful but we were too full.

Fabulous all day breakfast. It all tasted amazing and was hot. Great pot of tea as well. I'm fact we both loved it. Will go back if we are in that area

Friendly service and always welcoming. A great selection of food and drinks. Food hot and freshly cooked. We arrived during a heavy rain shower and the staff were very helpful and kind

Nice traditional tea room. Up December 2023 - busy café, caters for plenty of cyclists at weekends. Good range of food and drinks.

We have been here before and the reason we keep returning is simple. Wholesome food, friendly service and obviously with a regular clientele. I had scrambled eggs on toast. The toast was crisp the eggs fluffy and there was a decent plateful. My husband had ham and cheese toastie. Again a good lunch. If you can get through the door, there’s a warm welcome and reasonably priced meals to be had. Nice surroundings too.

A lovely cafe opposite the Devonshire Arms with its own small car park. Welcoming staff and lively food.

one of the best cafes/tea rooms in North Yorkshire. visited quite a few times, welcome very good, service excellent, a large selection of food from main meal's to snacks, something for every one, all cooked and presented perfectly. highly recommend the filled Baguets along with the homemade cakes/scones. prices very fair for the quality and quantity. another bonus is the free car park
Stopped here for a hot drink and a scone. The scones were amazing - one of the nicest scones I have ever had!The coffee was also nice. We didn't try the other food but it looked like a good menu.Staff were friendly and service was quick.Nice interior, though it was a little chilly on the day we went. Not a huge problem, we just kept our coats on.There was a small carpark out the back.A good stop on the way to Bolton Abbey!

I’m embarrassed to say that these tea rooms were not actually our first choice for a lunch stop on our way to Harrogate. Luckily for us, our first choice was closed to walk-ins as they were hosting a private function - and we found Bolton Abbey Tea Rooms instead. We had a delicious lunch, served by friendly and efficient staff and chatted to a local man who eats here at least once every week. Highly recommended.

Excellent little tea room, always stop by on the way to my monthly 18/19km walk around the Abbey. Always greeted with smiling faces and always try to get back for a quick brew before my drive home.

My review has two parts: our visit to the cafe, and what happened to spoil our visit. Firstly, we parked , and read the notice saying parking was just whilst customers were eating, which we thought was a bit off, but as we planned to visit the ruined abbey, didn’t particularly concern us. We very much enjoyed our filter coffees and a delicious toasted tea cake. While I was looking at the tourist leaflets, my husband crossed the road in search of a public car park, as we had no intention of outstaying our welcome in the cafe car park, and I then went across to show him one about Grassington being the set for Darrowby. Secondly, as I was about to do so, a man who had been grating lemon in the kitchen called out to us. He told us to leave their car park, shouting to us across the road ‘Hey Guys…’ and told us to leave. ‘ We’re going now,’ I replied, but told him that although we had very much enjoyed our food and drink, this rude shouting had spoilt the memory of what had been a pleasant visit. We left. However, very shortly we learnt the background to their policy, when we attempted to go to see the abbey, something we intended to complete within 20 minutes, before visiting the steam railway., we were absolutely shocked to read that it would set us back £15 to park for the abbey. I suppose if a family had decided to spend the entire day there, it would have been less shocking, but for a twenty minute quick look, it appalled us. I guess that the tea rooms have had a fair bit of trouble with customers parking in their car park to walk up to the abbey, so that new customers cannot park and patronise their tea room. The village badly needs a large free car park, but meanwhile, it would be preferable to avoid shouting at customers, telling them to leave promptly!

I was part of a 6 American contingent that visited your tea room on June 23. Our server, Haley, was wonderful in helping us experience our first scones. I promised to try scones across the UK, including a very posh London tea room, and I am pleased to report that after sampling over 12 scones in 9 days, the Abbey Tea Room won! Perfectly baked with a slight crunch on the outside and a subtle sweetness on the inside, the scones, served with butter, jam, and fresh clotted cream were a revelation! Stop here for outstanding service, delicious home-baked products, and sumptuously stuffed sandwiches.
