The Cottage Tea Rooms

Lovely food in fab location! We had gluten free cream teas, so tasty! Lovely staff, great visit would definitely recommend, most of the menu can be made gluten free!

View is amazing. Scones are ok. Wasps are overwhelming. It was impossible to enjoy our overpriced creme tea with wasps constantly darting at the food and us. Tbf all of Clovelly seems to have a disproportionately large number of wasps.

I’d love to give zero stars if possible due to the poor attitude towards allergies! I visited with my family and niece who has a life threatening nut allergy. Firstly the manager Mark was rude and clearly had no interest in helping us find a...

We had a crab sandwich and cream tea combination which was just perfect! Great scones. Great sandwich! We had a waitress, I think her name was Kaylee. She was absolutely wonderful. The Cottage Tea Rooms are so lucky to have such a bubbly, enthusiastic member...

I ate here with family earlier this week and had a nice cream tea. As I don’t like tea though I had hot chocolate alongside a scone instead; disappointingly the hot chocolate was nothing special, it just tasted like cheap hot chocolate powder. Fortunately though the scone compensated for this.

Lunch at the Cottage Tea Room, Clovelly, Bideford, North Devon. Located along the main cobbled street in the old village of Clovelly is the Cottage Tea Room. We sat in the very picturesque garden overlooking the quay of Clovelly Village. Food was of decent quality but rather expensive compared to the many other cafes and restaurants we visited in the Bideford and North Devon area. Staff were pleasant and friendly. Final bill rather expensive for a light lunch though.

We stopped for an early lunch on the climb up back from the quay and had a welcome break. We were lucky the weather had cleared and we could sit outside and enjoy the spectacular view. Really lovely menu with great choices Very friendly and welcoming as I placed my order and the order was brought out to us very quickly. Home made quiche with salad and my husband had a crab baguette and we had a scone with jam and cream each, delicious! Thoroughly enjoyable, thank you

We were in the area at the start of our holiday so decided to visit Clovelly. On the way back up we decided to stop at these tea rooms for lunch. Fortunately the weather was dry and warm enough for us to sit outside and we got a great table with a great view. We ordered inside and all had the cream teas. The service was friendly and the food arrived quickly. The scones were warm with plenty of jam and cream provided. They were very tasty and plenty of debate around which order they should be applied. The pot of tea gave nearly 3 full cups of drink. Would definitely visit again if we are in the area.

Dolphins and wasps… A wonderful location for a cream tea with an amazing view! We sat on the terrace for lunch and drinks. Excellent choice of GF options, with some lunch items feeling a little over priced (the Clovelly premium). Food was very well prepared with salads fresh and well dressed. The whole place was very clean and tidy, attended to regularly by staff who were polite and friendly. From our table the view over the harbour on a sunny day even offered us the bonus of a dolphin visit, clearly visible from our vantage point. The ‘fly in the ointment’ for us was the unwanted abundance of wasps during our meal. It was a problem for us and many other patrons sat around us. The staff were...
