A great little spot with some simple, yet delicious dishes. There is lots of choice. Would recommend to get the squirrel pin badge here!

Food lovely but had to wait a while for our food. We'd nearly finished our drinks before the sandwiches came. They were nice though.

Beautiful cafe set in a wonderful courtyard surrounded by a cliff face and woodland. We called in for a coffee and cake. There is a nice selection of cakes, sandwiches and snacks as well as various drink, hot and cold. The cafe is on the ground floor so easy access for everyone. There's inside or outside seating and the whole place is clean and very pleasant. Toilets and a gift shop are also located in the courtyard so everything you need to get you set for a visit around Cragside or comfortable before you leave. Staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Nice place to recharge!

Nice NT cafe. Always a fairly busy place, especially around the drinks counter. Lots of seating. Some disabled parking outside. Great atmosphere.
