  “After promising ourselves that we would try this place for years,we finally did yesterday. The setting for the venue is beautiful and the restaurant itself is very tastefully decorated. There is a lift in reception, for those who are unable to manage stairs to the first floor. We were allocated a table in the window with views over the enclosed garden and Rickerby Park. Even on a wet day, the views were lovely. Our food and coffee were excellent and the staff polite and friendly. This venue is definitely worth a visit.”

  “Loved it. Beautifully decorated. Nice short but well executed menu. Little quirky with the nail bars in sight of the actual drinks bar, but I love quirky. Minor complaint of the staff not being as attentive as they perhaps should despite it being very quiet while we were there. I had to go and ask for cutlery, I then had to go ask for the bill. But when we caught the staff's attention they were lovely. We had a pannini and a flatbread pizza. My pizza was more like a puff pastry than an actual flatbread, but still tasted good. My most challenging order of an Oat milk latte was particularly good... not many places do a nice one. This place did. A table near us had ordered the cream tea, looked lovely. Still a 5 star experience in what felt like lush but relaxed surroundings. Will go back.”

  “The award-winning roof terrace bar at Rickerby Retreat Bar in Rickerby, Carlisle is a fabulous place to spend a few hours catching up with friends, drinking cocktails, sipping wine, and eating delicious food overlooking the lovely spa gardens, and Rickerby Park, through floor to ceiling windows. The family-run retreat is designed for relaxation - from the mood lights in the bar area to the natural lighting in the restaurant. We had a variation of cocktails to start. They all looked and tasted delicious. Then a bottle of wine to accompany the following snacks .. 🧆 - Sharing Nachos - with mozzarella, guacamole, salsa, jalapenos & sour cream 🍱 - Sharing Deli Board - Meats, cheese, chutneys, crackers, dips, fruit and veg sticks The service is good and the atmosphere is relaxing (hardly surprising - it is a spa 😊). The only downside is they didn’t have any cream for a floaty coffee (first-world problems 🤪) Apart from that it was a perfect afternoon. Next time I’ll make it extra special, book a treatment & enjoy their leisure facilities. The products they use (ESPA) smelled wonderful.”

  “Great spa, great location and great team. Right on the River Eden, conveniently located moments from the centre of Carlisle but also in the most blissful setting of the countryside just through Rickerby Park and the idyllic village of Rickerby. Pool, treatments, bar and restaurant - what a fabulous haven.”

  “Fantastic service from Elaine and the rest of the bar staff. Put together the most amazing gluten, dairy and egg free platter. Everything was explained never had such amazing service from kitchen staff before. A huge huge thank you 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️”

  “I had a family lunch with children and they were very accommodating. The retractable terrace roof is a nice touch to sit in the sun with a lively view of the garden and water feature. The staff were attentive and friendly without being interfering. The atmosphere was laid back and decor is contemporary and relaxing with different styles of dining experience. The food menu is varied and tasted amazing. The drinks selection was just as good and not expensive. Would definitely go again.”
