Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Found this delightful cafe at the end of a long walk round Ullswater lake. We had got the steamer from Glenridding to Howtown and walked up and down the hills. We were in need of cold drinks and ice cream as a hot day. Customers were enjoying cups of tea on the tables outside. Just what we needed !

Dropped in at the end of our hike.
Very friendly, great quality tea with a pot of hot water given automatically and no need to ask.
Excellent home made cake.
Great value for money, especially regarding it is the lakes. For two people we e paid more for just the cakes elsewhere.

Very nice place for refreshments on our walk.
The Flapjack was beautiful, I enjoyed it that much I bought some to take home.
Very friendly Lady behind the counter who told us about how she made it with a friend.
Thanks very much.

We passed through Side Farm around 3pm on Sunday 19 June. Tea Room closed and looked not to have been open on the day. Poor internet info on opening hours. Luckily we ate at Glenridding before trekking on to Howtown, but we would have liked to have had a break here. Conclusion: don’t rely on it being open without confirmation.

We walked Place Fell and Ullswater shore path from Patterdale and popped into this tea room at the end of the loop.
We ordered mugs of Coffee and Hot Chocolate and added a Flapjack and were both very pleased with all three.
There was a good ambience in the tea room and it seemed ideal for walkers straight off the hills.
There are picnic benches outside but a shower was passing so we moved inside.
Would definitely recommend and will use again.

Whilst walking from Glenridding to Howtown on the Ullswater Way during the heatwave of this summer we came upon the tea room , it was a sight for sore eyes we never knew it existed but the staff were very friendly and the food and drink were of a high standard. B&B we found was also avaable and are planning on staying there on pur next visit.
Top tea room with top staff. Excellent

Great home baking at probably the cheapest prices in the Lake District. You have to be daft to walk past without stopping. generous slices of cakes and tray bakes. One of the best tea rooms in the lakes.

After coming down off Place Fell and walking along Ullswater the tea room was a pleasant surprise.
We had tea and large flapjacks which were very tasty and made a nice change from lukewarm water.

A small tea room located near the southern end of Ullswater and a level walk about 20 minutes from Glenridding.
There's seating inside and out, the prices are reasonable and the cakes and pastries are generously sized and top quality.
Okay, you can't actually see much of a view from the tea-shop but it's still a welcome oasis at the end of a long walk.

Found this by chance at the end of a walk over Place Fell. 5 teas ( various types ) and 5 cakes ( various ) all for just over ÂŁ10 - excellent value. Each person got a pot of water and 2 tea bags, so you could just use one if you preferred. The cakes varied from big to very big and all very nice. You can sit munching your cake while you watch the next ones being mixed and baked. Definitely worth visiting again next time we are in the area.
