Rievaulx Abbey Cafe - Helmsley

We had a wonderful time to visit rievaulx and had luck with the weather in februar! it is fantastic for all age groups, as my children loved, to explore the place and find hidden gems around the abtei. scenic landscape and a great place for pictures! would be worth it again, but I would avoid going through the sutton bank route as my heart was in my neck! the staff was also brilliant and helpful. thank you for making it unforgettable for all of us.

Went there when we were in Whitby on holiday last year OMG!! it took our breaths away! fantastic place its a hidden gem would def visit again well worth it!

Wow! This place is so awesome. It's inspiring, emotional, evocative, beautiful and definitely one of a kind. I could have spent hours and hours here. It is definitely a place for personal contemplation... I loved it and will be back soon....

We love this Abbey! Staff are lovely, cakes amazing! There is a brilliant little exhibition space with interesting artefacts. Nice balance between accessible yet still informative. Top place to go whatever the season.

If I wanted to drive to the restaurant, I must have taken a wrong turn, as Rievaulx Abbey stands in the distance. The museum provides a fascinating insight into how the monks lived and what the abbey must have looked like before the Reformation. There is so much to see and do, especially on a beautiful day outside. Plus, the café serves delicious, wholesome food, and the profits go towards maintaining the abbey, which looks stunning.
