Owners Jack and Steph Newman renovated Midge Hall, a former gamekeeper's cottage surrounded by the ancient woodland of Sneaton Forest, in 2008 and opened their own secluded paradise.

The building stands at the top of the 30ft cascading falls, which are a huge draw for visitors, who can paddle in the beck below.

The cafe's patrons can enjoy home-made cakes and cream teas while children build dens, explore the fairy dell-themed playground or play pooh sticks from the footbridge - the Newmans even provide the sticks.

Ten minutes' walk away is The Hermitage, a cave carved out of stone with a fascinating history.

Midge Hall dates from the 1780s and was derelict for years before the couple breathed new life into it.

The Newmans and their three children admitted they were living 'The Good Life' in a 2013 interview with the Yorkshire Post, during which they also expressed concerns over proposals for a potash mine in the area.
