Aka Priest's Mill. Lovely little cafe that I have not visited for a very long time.

Upon the first visit we were told no dogs however the following day we saw people leave with dogs, what we were not told is that dogs can go around the back! It's very picturesque with friendly staff dressed in Victorian outfits really set the scene however they were very nervous & shy.

The food was punching above its weight for its price, it was nice but was expecting more for the cost, we opted for a sandwich with crisps however it was not a bag of crisis but 7 crisps in a ramakin which was an eye opener.

I wish I'd gone for the local Cumberland sausage roll as it was two juicy local sausages in a roll (not the expected pastry sausage roll) so I sat there drooling hoping that my kids couldn't eat it all however as it was so delicious they scoffed the lot! The sticky toffee pudding was delicious as it was made with treacle toffee!

All in all very pleasant, expensive for what it was, smile & interact with your customers...

Nice looking cafe with pretty if overgrown garden with shabby garden tables. Not a great range on the menu but we were happy with what we selected. Apparently soup and a sandwich is around £8.50 but we asked if we could both have salads with our sandwiches too. The menu adds extra to sandwiches for having a side salad....bit strange but hey ho. So we had two soup and sandwiches, both with a side salad. Two teas and an ice cream for my daughter When I went to the till we were charged £34 approx. I should of said immediately but I was gobsmacked. So two soup and sandwiches £17, one ice cream £2.25, so the teas and side salad which consisted of some vinegary carrot, celery in yoghurt and some iceberg lettuce cost £14. If the owner of the cafe sees this I would be happy to show...

My wife and I visited the Watermill Cafe at 3.30pm on Saturday 26th October, the staff were getting ready to close at 4pm. We had travelled some distance for afternoon tea so they made a special effort to provide us with the full afternoon tea experience. There was a good choice of drinks, the tea i choose was great, i got 2 1/2 cups from the pot. The sandwiches were lovely, an ample salad was provided. After the sandwiches were brought out a cake stand full of cakes was presented with far too much cake to eat in one sitting, the cake we could't eat was packed into a takeaway box for later consumption. The staff were very attentive and provided an excellent service despite the fact that they were in the process of packing up for the day. We had a really loveley time and...

Whilst this is a charming cafe in idyllic surroundings, I am always amazed there are insufficient facilities and staff to handle the amount of covers they offer. We arrived and waited half an hour before I had to enquire about faster service due to my husband's illness. I was told they were busy but would get there ASAP. Another 20 mins and we placed our order waiting for a further 20 for the food and drink. As a business woman I know that if you offer tables I side to seat 50 people then you need the staff and kitchen to deal with processing order. A great shame as we won't go back again for fear of having to wait too long. And ..... the cheese scones would have been delicious had they been warm. So sorry for the review but a few tweaks and you'll be a 5 star.

We were recommended to visit this café on our way home from the Cumbrian coast. It is tucked away in Caldbeck, a chocolate box Lake District National Park village about 12 miles from both Carlisle and Penrith. It is close to the Beck and it's location is peaceful and rural. The cricket ground and parish church are adjacent. We were very kindly served by friendly staff on a hot day and we sat in the garden where dogs are allowed. The beans with cheese on toast was generous. We were not sure the Cumberland sausage was indeed Cumberland but was filling nonetheless. There are two businesses adjacent which are also worth visiting.
