   Food was nice , the staff were absolutely great, very attentive and had actually read my request for a quiet table . My only negative comment would be , I wasn't able to have afternoon tea as I hadn't pre booked it . This was not mentioned during booking .

   Such a shame. Rickerby Retreat has tye potential to be really good. The food was decent enough but the service was terrible. Very, very slow. Disinterested. Took some time for drinks and even longer order our food. Wanted deserts but after waiting 30 mins after getting the menu we decided to leave. Voiced our feedback politely and met with a total brush off from the staff and told that we were wrong to complain. Will not be going back!

   Atmosphere is really fitting to the spa, really relaxing and amazing views over the park and river. Comfortable seating and lots of room, even during busy periods. Seats are very comfortable. Wide range of high-quality drinks together with good hot drinks. Food was exceptional for a bistro - burger was juicy and fresh, flavourful fries and indulgent wrap. Service was consistent and very approachable while maintaining efficiency. Great value and free parking is handy. Highly recommend!

   Great service, would have liked to have seen stronger GF options but the chef went above and beyond to adapt a recipe for me which was fantastic, we will return

   Last minute booking as passing by but very glad we did. The food was amazing value for money at such high quality. Simple menu but presented wonderfully. I have had afternoon tea there previously which was equally exceptional but pleased to say the rest of menu just as good. Can’t wait to return next time in Cumbria : )
