New life has finally been given to Midge Hall as Falling Foss Tea Garden and a new family home.

Having been derelict for almost 50 years, Jack and Steph Newman are delighted to have been able to complete the restoration work on Midge Hall and not only move in to the property but also re-open the much loved Tea Garden.

As most locals will tell you, Midge Hall is no ordinary dwelling. The fairy tale cottage nestles in the woodland at the top of magnificent Falling Foss waterfall, a unique location and a much loved beauty spot.

The property was originally built as a game keepers cottage in the late 1780’s and was subsequently opened as a tea garden in the early 1900’s. In the 1960’s the property was vacated by it’s occupiers and unfortunately was left to decay for a period of 50 years.

Jack & Steph purchased the property in spring 2008 and, after completing the renovation works on the property, re-opened the Tea Garden for business once again in July 2008.
