Hobb's Cafe - Derbyshire Dales

Delicious cream tea! the best scones I've had for a long time. Super-Quick service too.

The owner was incredibly friendly, the service first rate and to camouflage it the best bakewell we ever had. opened early, when he expected us, all that and with a view of the dead, worth a visit, not disappointed and we traveled from lincoln.

A cuppa with view! very expensive, expect to pay tourist prices. they do not give empty tassen with a cup of tea that is a little strange, but apparently many places do this today. best to get there before 3 o'clock if they don't want to miss it.

Hobb's cafe overlooksa wonderful panorama and has quite a history of providing refreshment at Monsal Head now primarily to cyclists and walkers on the Monsal Trail up to 8.5 miles between Bakewell and Wye Dale) and a number of other routes. It previously served to house those overseeing the building of the railway on that route, then an estate gamekeeper lived there. It now provides home made lunches and teas including oatcake and quiche with great filling flavours. It also hosts a small art and craft gift shop with a wide range of cards, some local maps souvenirs and a range of good quality gifts. A lovely place to visit, even if you're not on one of the many footpaths and bridleways that can lead there.

Enjoyable experience at the wonderfully located Hobbs cafe. Super cottage very tastefully decorated. Good tea and scones/ scones, with great ambience and friendly owners/staff. Absolutely love their resident Spaniel ... what an absolute sweety! Small craft shop with lots of nice cards and a small selection of gifts.
