CREAM TEAS

Who could possibly contemplate a visit to Devon without straightaway anticipating the delights of a delectable Devon cream tea?

We offer cream teas seven days a week. You may have a short wait whilst the scones are cooked as we like to ensure that everything is as fresh as possible, but you'll enjoy relaxing in one of the lounges or sitting outside admiring the view whilst your cream tea is being prepared. Locally made strawberry jam, fresh Devon clotted cream, a deliciously tasty scone and a nice cup of tea - absolute bliss!
