Really lovely cafe, but quite a lot not in off the menu. We had paninis as a second choice. Ice cream was very good, and staff were friendly.
We love this place year round but at Christmas time they go above and beyond! Staff were amazing, the only place around that have not gotten greedy with Santa visits! You pay for the child only and as many parents/family members can go in and see the magic in their kids eyes unlike many other establishments in the area that also charge for parents to take the kids to see Santa! Food is 10 out of 10 and the cakes are out of this world. Very reasonably priced for how amazing the Santas living room set up is! Also the Santa is fantastic! Can not believe they get the actual real Santa to come down from the north pole ????
The staff were friendly and helpful.
Service was efficient.
A lovely setting with fantastic views of the valley.
Was a little curious to be offered scrambled eggs, with both fried and poached eggs not available today. It became clear when breakfast arrived... The scrambled eggs were disgusting... Probably bought pre-made in bulk.
Will probably give it another try sometime, but will likely not order breakfast again if fresh eggs are unavailable.
The cake counter looked very inviting though.
We were there last week and absolutely loved every minute. The food was incredible, team amazing, and I love the casual and fun environment you have created. I currently have cancer and feel very self conscious (my bald head is an instant giveaway) and there are few places I have felt as comfortable as yours.

Wow! This is a jewel of a place to eat in the Northeast! You do not want to miss this if you are anywhere from Darlington, Newcastle, Durham, Bishop Auckland, Hexham, Corbridge, etc. You definitely want to come here if you are an international visitor to sample some of the best food in NE England. You must come to the Dairy Barn!
With easy access from A68, A69 or A689 (look for the flag on North Bitchburn Terrace), and with plenty of parking. The atmosphere is friendly and your first glance is a case of amazing pastries. The seating is casual, and family friendly, with a kids playground and tables outside as well. Service: The staff and servers were friendly and patient answering questions about pastries, changing orders, and making substitutions. Food: This is the best part - it is excellent!! We arrived a few minutes late for breakfast (on our first day), but ordered lunch. The jacket potato was delicious with tuna, mushroom and bean options (we tried all three). The second day we returned for breakfast. I ordered a full English, with changes and substitutions for a vegetarian meal. It was delicious, perfectly cooked, well worth the price. My wife had the cheese and mushroom on a muffin. Our last day in the area we returned for desserts for breakfast (we got it right this time!) The ice cream is rich and flavorful, the chocolate and banoffee cakes are excellent. So we ate at the Dairy Barn three days in a row and regretted we were leaving and not able to return for one more visit. I hope you will!!!
Service not the best the cakes are amazing the views are outstanding
We had an amazing stay in the big treehouse- stunning inside and stunning views over the countryside.
Then up for a tasty breakfast at the Dairy barn ????
We will definitely be back with our family and friends..
Thanks Warren & Kirsty

Lovely cakes, food is standard cafe type foods, some are quite expensive. Nice little place, out of the way, will be lovely in summer. When it's windy I wouldn't sit outside. Friendly enough staff.
