What a superb place, as you I?ll see by the number of people using the facilities. We love to drop in for a breakfast roll. The owners and all their staff are so friendly and professional. The place is spotlessly clean. Food is of the best quality and very reasonably priced. Service, regardless of if you?re eating in or out, buying gifts or supplies or even using the Postal services, is fantastic. Well done Victoria and Richard. You?re a credit to the Village and the surrounding area. You?ve been a gem to us.

Popped in for a pot of tea in the garden. The teapots are photogenically multicoloured. This place sells plants, guidebooks and souvenirs along with snacks, cakes and drinks. The friendliness of the staff and pretty surrounding buildings, including a thatched pub and free-to-visit castle made visiting worthwhile.

Delightful little cafe and a shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Obviously, we tried their unique to region, Singing Hinnie, which is looks a large soft bun accompanied by clotted cream and jam. It was nice for a change from the scone. We also tried their little quiche with salad, which was nice, too. And of course, just to be decadent, we had their special fruit tart which was rich. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and a quirky little shop. It is located in the beautiful Etal village, very close to the castle and the forge.

Clean and tidy. Lovely staff. Unfortunately the coffee was not good. Came out of a push-button machine, certainly not Barista standard

This is one of those places where you arrive thinking you just need a place to grab a drink and a piece of cake or something to nibble and you'll be done. However I have to give extra credit to Lavender Tea Rooms and the owners, this place was spotlessly clean, well laid out, everything was displayed clearly and everything looked very inviting. It might sound strange, but I must also mention the toilets. They were kept really clean and unlike 99% of places they were actually a pleasure to use (?!). The staff were all really pleasant and I certainly got the feeling that everyone was trying to make sure that they were delivering the best possible service they could. For me this is a treat of a place and I wish I was able to go every day, but seeing as I can't, I would recommend that you give it a try when you're in this neck of the woods. Totally recommended.

Booked Afternoon Tea for a friends ?Special Birthday Celebration? for seven people. The food was incredible. Lovely selection of savoury and sweet items. The tea rooms are lovely and attention to detail was amazing. The staff provided top quality service and the whole experience was of a very high standard. I would highly recommend and would definitely visit again when in the area.

It?s been 4 years since the last visit when I said I would visit again (thanks pandemic). Well finally got here. Lavender scones and lavender sponge as lovely as I remember. Shop stocks a wide range of delights too. This place is a must when in the area. Special shout out to the cheery, friendly helpful staff that help make this a special tearoom and shop
