Granny Dowbekin's Tea Room and Garden,  Pooley Bridge,  Ullswater,  CUMBRIA   CA10 2NP  01768 486453

In 1859 Ullswater Steamers began transporting minerals, mail and passengers up and down the lake and 1846 Penrith railway station opened bringing visitors from all over the country. The first cream teas were served here in our garden by the then Butler and Housekeeper of the Rampsbeck Hotel. Ever since, Granny Dowbekin’s Tearoom and Gardens has welcomed the local community and our many visitors alike.

Over a century later, whilst the owners have changed, the welcome, the service and the provision of good food has not. We still bake our scones, cakes, and pies fresh every day; we are still a meeting place for friends and family from far and wide; and we are still blessed with the best vantage point to enjoy the views of the River Eamont and magnificent Ullswater.

 

 

In an area of ‘Outstanding Universal Value to humanity’, Granny Dowbekin’s offers outstanding hospitality and food.
