The Tea Cottage At Bolton Abbey

This café is a hidden treasure. We arrived on a rainy day with our soaked dog and were warmly welcomed by the staff. We especially enjoyed sitting by the open fire. The coffee was delicious and the homemade mince pie with brandy cream was wonderful. Thank you!

I stumbled upon this hidden gem and was pleasantly surprised by the warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and exceptional service. The food was absolutely delicious, and the coffee was top-notch. I highly recommend this restaurant.

What a fabulous find! Such a lovely cafe with really friendly staff and great service. The food was great and the coffee was awesome. You would be hard pushed to find better!

What a beautiful place this is. Such a wonderful warm welcome from the team at Tea Cottage! The food was excellent, the views were stunning and the staff there have created such a cosy vibe to enjoy it all in!! Thank you so much. Thank you too for bringing Winston (my dog) his own bowl of water!

We had a pleasant surprise on our walk to Bolton Abbey today as we noticed the Tea Cottage has new owners and has had a lovely refurbishment. We had stopped going there over the last six months as we felt the previous owners had let it slip and it had gone downhill. This is definitely not the case now. It is very welcoming, the staff are friendly and enthusiastic, the tempting cakes are, freshly baked. (the scones are to die for) and there is a varied lunch menu. Prices are reasonable and the coffee is good too . Everywhere is clean and fresh and the lovely open fire is an added bonus on a cold , frosty day. Of course the seating outside has the best views on the estate but it was lovely to sit in on a cold day. We will definitely be visiting again soon. I wish the new owners the best of luck in their new venture.
