Bovey Down Farm in East Devon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Return visit after last years stay. Still the same warm welcome and the facilities are clean and tidy. Pam kindly gave us the same pitch as last year which was nice.

We booked our table but this is not necessary. The dinning area is laid out with only 2 individual tables the rest are 8-10 seater tables where groups occupy one end or the other sharing with other couples/groups during busy periods. Service was very slow - order to food arrival was 40 mins but the food was freshly prepared and hot. Standard steak, burger, fish and chips, scampi and chips range and some excellent deserts. Nice atmosphere if a little spartan.

Our good friends Mandy and Chris always come here ,and we went with them a couple of weeks ago .We returned tonight (25th July ) with friends we have staying with us .As like the first visit we had ,the meals were absolutely first class ,all cooked fresh whilst you wait ,Pam and her husband made us very welcome ,and the bill 73 pounds for four including drinks ,was very reasonable .we will certainly make this our local eating place !

An absolute hidden gem with very friendly service. Lovely outdoor area. Coffee was just as good. Will definitely be going back.

We had a lovely relaxing time at Bovey's Down Farm, beautiful scenery and everything we needed right here. Close to the beaches and sea side towns, supermarket 10 minutes away and a good Chippee! ,in The local town. Clean and tidy showers and toilets. This is not a fancy, all glitter and gold but good honest rustic camping as it should be. We had a home cooked Sunday roast with a lovely apple and blackberry crumble, ( proper Yorkshire puddings) , service was excellent and food fabulous, to send us on our way a full English! Both Pam and Gerald are a lovely couple, homely and very welcoming , down to earth folk. Their prices are very reasonable and there is a bar, if you have the farm cider as Gerald advised sip it slowly, thank you both for a lovely long weekend. Andrew and Pauline

Had a delicious roast dinner with beautifully cooked chicken and gammon. The veggies were tasty and the roast potatoes were the best I’ve had! The fact that everything could be made gluten free was the icing on the cake, or the custard on the crumble which was equally fantastic! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a hearty Sunday roast with the added chance of spotting the lovely farm cat, Mia!

Amazing place to stay with family. Hosts bent over backwards to help and provide a fantastic service. Definitely be going again

We very much enjoyed our stay at the farm and Pamela's famous cream tea - so good in fact we ordered a second one! I was a bit sceptical - despite Pamela's friendly insistence - that the cream should come first, but she's right: jam should indeed come on top of the cream when it's clotted. Sitting in their shaded outdoor terrace overlooking the gently sloping fields, it felt like an idyllic Devonshire tea experience, down to the delicate chinaware and the pretty floral arrangement. We also enjoyed our chats with her husband Gerald who is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to life on a farm and has a great sense of humour to boot. The farm is well-situated for hikes to the nearby coast and rolling Devon countryside and our walks along the specutacular coastal paths have made me hungry for more! The campsite itself feels like a haven far from the madding crowd, rustic and charming with even more amenities than we made use of. Their open timber hall looks like a lovely place for ceremony. I can warmly endorse the recommendations I've read elsewhere on this page - both Pamela & Gerald are an absolutely delightful couple who helped to make our stay at Boveys Down Farm an unforgettable experience. In fact, we not only had a second cream tea, on our way back to Dover, we also went back for a second taste of the campsite which truly felt like a home away from home. Pamela & Gerald are both real gems, and so is Boveys Down Farm. It will be on our itinerary again when we pass through this part of England. Judi & Rudi Utrecht, the Netherlands

We had a lovely roast dinner, lamb, beef and gammon. Perfectly cooked and served. Pam, Gerald and our waiter made feel welcome and at home. Love the rustic and relaxed atmosphere. Thank you team Bovey. XX

Stayed over in one of their small caravans on site - caravan was basic but had all we needed - shower room and toilet facilities were clean and in great condition. Icing on the cake was the cafe where the food was delicious and was served with a smile - thoroughly recommend

Lovely campsite, close to walks and the sea. Hosts very welcoming and accommodating. Clean and warm showers. We visited out of season so was a little messy, but other than that, could not fault it.

Stayed here with 12 friends just outside of high season. Very helpful and accommodating. Brilliantly located for beaches and attractions in east Devon. Will definitely stay again when in the ares.

We normally have breakfast here, but decided to try their legendary Sunday lunch today. Nothing ever disappoints here, and Sunday lunch is no exception! Melt in the mouth beef, beautiful pork, mouth watering gammon and succulent turkey, we had thr lot, and it wad all absolutely amazing. Well done on a crazy lunch with 13 booked in and so many more turning up too. We look forward to many more visits and hopefully stays too. ❤️

We called in for a cream tea, of which we have had many with which to compare, but sadly this one was not up to scratch. The tea is fine, but cream in individual pots is not very nice, it was a bit hard, the jam in a little individual glass pot, but the main event, the scone, was undercooked and tasted so. I did advise the member of staff who served us, but all she said after charging us the full price was that the cook had probably taken them out of the oven too soon. No refund. Sadly we will not be going back.

Had a lovely time camping, only problem we had was we had large pitch but was on a hill so loads of things kept sliding off tables. Even carpet was not staying put, we kept sliding down our camp beds. But other than that, lovely clean toilets, showers. Owners were very good dealing with rude campers too.

A reasonable price and the tea was served in willow pattern cups but for perfection the jam and cream must not be served in portion controlled jars and packets and I think the scone should only be warm if it has just come out of the oven rather than a microwave.

A really tranquil setting and ideal if you want to try something different. Nice sandwiches and great tea an coffee. Never tried the ‘Devon tea’ but did try the cider and it was lovely. Only had a ping and was very light headed. Thanks for the memory

Went for afternoon tea, brilliant. All home made cakes, scones, sandwiches. Will not be able to partake again this year as going home Saturday. They also do weddings and Sunday roast. Easy disabled access, toilets have plenty of space in cubicle for disabled, door opens outward so no climbing over pan to shut door. Friendly people, nice atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone who is in the area. Honiton, Seaton , Sidmouth. Looking forward to next visit

The toilets and showers were very clean and comfortable to wash in, the spots were spaced well delivering lots of room and breakfast was so specfabulous! The owners were greeting even though we arrived late and were very helpful. What a lovely place to stay

Wow what a gem…decided to stay an extra night and how pleased am I we did. Hosts are very welcoming. The working farm didnt effect us at all. Beautiful cows. Place has everything catered for even fridges/freezers for campers. Lovely toilets/showers. Bar has more than enough options and the food is amazing. Wonderful place and will definitely use this again.

Gerald and Pam are perfect hosts. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is so homely. My grandchildren enjoyed the dart board and pool table. Thanks to the team at Bovey Down for having us at such short notice.

We have been to Bovey Down Farm on a few occasions. We have had lunch, afternoon tea, evening meal and recently in November an amazing Christmas lunch. The Christmas meal was fabulous including a choice of starters, mains and desserts, mince pies and coffee. Very...

We came to Boveys down farm last July to camp and we had such a lovely time that we recommended to family& friends and then returned this year. However, we were so disappointed upon our return.We pitched up where we did last year, only to be told we had to move as there was an upcoming wedding so the grass needed to recover which we understood. However, the field we were told to move to was cramped and next to a loud and busy road. If we knew that we would not be able to camp where we had previously we would have not wanted to return. The campsite owner did not offer any help with moving our tent as we carried it across 2 fields. We felt that the owners were impolite and unfriendly. There was no information given to us pre arrival. Additionally you are required to pre book the showers and you are not able to choose your camping pitch. What we loved most about Boveys down farm was the relaxed atmosphere, the freedom to choose your pitch and the beautiful views. Unfortunately this year we did not have the same experience.

We stayed for a week as a family group (5 tents). Pam, the owner, had made sure that we could all pitch next to each other & allocated us the top corner of a field which was great - large pitches & plenty of place...

Myself and my family camped in mid-August and had a great time. The tent pitch was extremely spacious, the electric hook-up close by, the views amazing, the toilets and showers were the cleanest we have ever used, the drinks were nice and a good variety.....overall...

We (a couple with no children) stayed Sun-Wed in August. Booked a shower slot to suit us to allow cleaning after each family group. Pitch was on a slope (which saved us on a very rainy day when we hadn’t sealed the tent correctly!). Views...

Beautiful & convenient location but it just didn't live up to expectations. In my 25+ years of camping I have stayed everywhere from empty fields with compost toilets to heated floor shower blocks. This is the first time I have felt disappointed by the reality...

Wow. Wow. Wow. How disappointing this campsite is. Having stayed on many in and around Devon and Cornwall this has to rank as one of the worst. The facilities are woefully short for the number of campers on the site. Booking a slot for the...

The views from Bovey Down Farm are beautiful, and the site itself is fine, although rather hilly. The facilities are very basic - 2 toilets in a shed block, 2 cubicles each in male/female in the cafe, but these are not open 24hr and don’t...

A group of us, at my suggestion, visted Boveys Down Farm for a get together and a cream tea. The welcome, hospitality and service was excellent and as for the cream tea, what can one say! The scones had just been baked, hot and delicious...

Stopped to buy freshly baked Devon pasties to take away for lunch on our journey home. Packed full of steak and vegetables - delicious!

Could not fault it . Absolute gem stayed on there campsite, nice and relaxed with great service and price. Brilliant for family’s and groups

Amazing Glamping experience. Visited Boveys Down Farm for 2 nights with my family (2 x Adults & 2x kids) on 20th Aug 2020. As soon as you arrive onto the site you are welcomed not only by the friendly & helpful owners but have the...

We visited here for a 3 night stay with some of the gang that we go to local music festivals with and the site was fantastic, lovely and peaceful and was run by the loveliest of people. The views were stunning over the valley and everything just worked,Covid-19 steps were adhered to, the toilets were clean, the fresh water was ice cold from their own well which was a bonus as the temperature was hot hot hot. Food from the site was exceptional and I can recommend the scampi and wedges. It was dog friendly and you can bring your own fire pit or rent one on site for those camp fire evenings. All in all Pam and Gerald were lovely hosts and work incredibly hard to achieve a brilliant camping setting thanks guys.

We had a wonderful week at Bovey Farm. Pam and Gerald go above and beyond to help. It can get busy particularly with staycations this year, the additional Covid 19 cleaning measures and you will need to work at the pace of the farm rather than our busy life - this is why we go in the first place. This campsite is not a highly commercial operation It is a working farm. The campsite and facilities are rustic and offer a real camping experience. We had a wonderful afternoon tea and a pie one evening which was great. Pam is happy to sell you anything you have forgotten from milk to flour and is really accommodating so just ask. Amazing views and 10 minutes drive from both towns and beaches. Our second visit to the campsite and still a warm welcome for my family.

We have just returned from 3 nights here with our touring caravan. The views are breathtaking, such relaxing place. Food and bar available which looked lovely but we took our own. Shower available, just book your 45 minute slot when you arrive. Not at all busy, not sure if that is normal or due to current circumstances. Gerald is lovely and gave us a tour of the farm this morning. Excellent base for visiting Sidmouth/Seaton and surrounding area. Also some walks and nature reserves close by. Feel we packed a lot into 3 days but also feel refreshed and relaxed. Plenty of space for kids to run around. Highly recommend and will be back. Did I mention the views

Rustic in terms of setting and decor but extremely friendly staff and food was delicious. We had been meaning to visit for a long time, having sampled the farm’s pies, pasties and hamburgers at other places. Meat was very tasty. Portions good. We felt that £12.50 for the roast was a fair price, about on a par with other locations in the area. Desserts were a very reasonable £4.60.Would be tempted not to microwave puddings that have been chilled as they become super hot, slightly soggy and cream just doesn’t work so well but that is a minor thing and I only make this comment because the quality of the food is very good, nearly all homemade and it is a shame to let it down.A drinks menu would have been useful and a wider choice of soft drinks, perhaps some bottled local juices. Only dropped a star because the outside and surroundings let things down a little.

We stayed for new year and as a result needed hard standing for our van which is the car park outside the cafe. Yes it was a little weird but when you are in season the pitches around the main field look lovely. Basic amenities yes but looks like it is part of the sites charm. Free WiFi on site ( in some places) , a couple of showers and a couple of loos and the cafe and shop looked ace ( but wasn’t open) - you can also have open fires unlike the other 3 big caravan sites locally. There are also a few animals around which is ace.

On a potter around old haunts we dropped in to see Gerald and Pam. The barn is beautiful, the welcome warm, the pot of tea and scones were the best I have had. We were made to feel at home, cosy and comfortable, with much chatter and banter. Brillant way to brighten a dull dark winter's day. Thank you bothxx

A proper full English breakfast. High quality ingredients making it a real treat. The bacon was thick cut and so delicious. All beautifully cooked. The staff were so accommodating and pleasant and the tables looked very festive with lovely decorations. We will definitely return! I can’t wait to try the Sunday lunch!

We enjoyed a delicious and generous cream tea at Boveys Down Farm in the company of the wonderful, warm and friendly hosts whilst looking at some of the most magnificent rolling Devon scenery. I would recommend Boveys Down Farm for lunch, dinner or cream teas at any time of year! Exceptionally good value.

Mum and I have been several times this year, having only just found this hidden gem in March We have loved each visit, our Sunday roasts dinners are amazing 10/10 , so generous and delicious We have also taken a group of friends too, the welcome and hospitality is so warm and authenticThe setting and backdrop of the stunning Far way Vale is so so beautiful ,Looking forward to visiting you again soonThank you Mr and Mrs Sweetcoombe Dawn and Mum

We can only say great things about this place . We stay in one of the retro caravans for hire . In a space on its own in a Woody Glade it's cosy in any weather ! Pam always puts pumfy bedding in so don't need to bring it which is great . We looked about for ages to find a natural campsite in this area . This is the one as the views of the valley coming through the gate is a beauty . Spacious and informal . Easy to get a pitch last minute and without fuss . The owners are both laid back and attentive . Even after a busy day we noticed a family who were tired after a big walk , given a home cooked meal at 9 pm .. kind and blinking impressive we thought . If no one was about in the restaurant area we figured that it meant they were busy in the kitchen so learnt that there's a bell just inside the door . Great that you can go for a weekend and get provisions , meals etc all onsite . Brill area for such quiet and lovely cycling . Ask Pam for her carrot cake and have a drink with farmer Gerald in his bar . Love it .

Pamela and Gerald made the whole wedding fantastic. The wedding pavilion was amazing, the camping was easy and the facilities are all in excellent and clean condition. The evening 'do' was catered seamlessly and perfectly and it was the best 'stay-at' wedding I have ever been to. Thank you so much to my lovely and kind hosts, for looking after me and the lovely friends whose wedding it was and of course, all their guests.

we rang ahead to book two motorhome pitches and a tent, i did also mention that we can't wait to sample the lovely pasties and cream teas again on the phone. Upon arrival we booked in and paid for all of the pitches to be told by the young lad on the bar that food would be closed at 8pm that evening, of course we went back set up and then went to order our food to be told there was no food as they were preparing for the farmers market the next day and the kitchen was closed................dissapointing to say the least as our friends had travelled from manchester to sample the cream teas and pasties that we had told them about for years. how embarassing. Ok so second time around, can you believe it it happened again, we were told no food and there was no-one around (the place was deserted) to ask if food was on that night, yet again they could have told us over the phone. A young family that were camping there had said to us that because of buliding work ongoing in the kitchen the food was hit and miss, you may or may not get any.Also a family of six including two small children followed in behind and were told the same, the kids were hungry but no good.There was no staff around to ask and Gerald (i think) dissapeared of out in his van????It's a real shame as prevoius times everything was just greatBovey farm youv'e let yourself down, and lost customers.

We camped here for three nights on the freezing May Bank Holiday weekend. Almost no one else on site for the first night which seemed strange. Great views. Fires allowed in firepits which you can hire, though there are some campfire areas with logs for seating already set up which we hadn't noticed. Handy to have microwave, fridge, and laundry facilites available. The barn cafe area was lovely and we enjoyed the cream tea, especially the charming old crockery it was served in. Owners were equally charming and very helpful. Pricing seemed on the higher end (the camping) for what it was but we still left happy. There is also a pretty glade area for weddings and events. Sounds like a labour of love for the owners over a long period of time, hats off to them.

We arrived shortly after noon for a cream tea. We decided to share one and we were glad that we did! The portions were generous. The two scones were accompanied by lashings of clotted cream and a selection of preserves: strawberry, blackcurrant and rhubarb jams and honey. We sampled each of them. They were delicious! We washed the scones down with tea and a cafetiere. We were so greedy we shared a carrot cake to finish. It was very reasonably priced at less than £12 for two. Be aware that the setting is on a campsite so the cafe may get busy and you may have to share a table.

My nephew had been raving about this place for a few years but when visiting my sister and husband we all went there for a cream tea. We were not disappointed, the scones were really light and the jams tasted like they had been home made. We had to try them all just in case we missed anything. Attentive staff and a lovely situation outside in the sunshine.

On arrival at Bovey Down Farm, we were greeted by Gerald & Pam, who were warm & welcoming. It was our Wedding Anniversary & due to ill health, we were only able to give them a few hours notice.

Outdoor weddings overlooking glorious East Devon countryside. Official wedding location for anyone wanting to avoid church symbols and registry office walls. We had super weather and could not have wished for a better wedding experience.

We had our wedding ceremony & reception here and what a special day we had earlier this week. Gerald, Pam, Simon and staff are excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble. They created a lovely relaxed, rustic atmosphere for us and our guests, even umbrellas for us all as it rained a bit at the Woodland Pavilion ceremony. It was Devon Day and Gerald & Pam treated us with true & honest Devon friendliness & hospitality throughout the day. The meal in Swallows Restaurant was excellent and the cake delicious. Thank you to you all for making our wedding a day to remember.

My friends had their wedding here yesterday and what a fantastic spot this is. High up on the hilltop the views are spectacular. Licensed for civil ceremonies Boveys Down Farm has a beautiful yurt with proper beds for the wedding couple as well as hook up power for caravans and campers. Fantastic.

Wow, my friends just got married here in the woods ...the owners Pam and Gerald and all of the staff cannot do enough for the couple and their guests. We stayed on site in our motor home, others camped and used caravans. The nuptial Yurt was beautifully decorated and the barn area strung with bunting etc. We had an afternoon tea with gorgeous scones cake and sandwiches. The wedding was steak and chips. Breakfast was individually prepared with local produce and the burgers served in the BBQ on Friday night were scrummy. I would recommend anyone looking for an alternative wedding experience to take a look at this location.

Having been let down by the Wildwood at Escot, with regard to being able get anything to eat, we stopped at Bovey Down Farm that we had passed several times. It was 4.30pm on a Sunday, but they were more than happy to welcome us and provide us with what I would consider to be the best cream tea I have ever had! We will certainly be going back when we're in the area again.

I had heard about Boveys ledgend Sunday lunches and their small camping area. We decided to check it out, having a lunch recently. The view from the site is staggeringly beautiful seeing into the Farway valley and beyond to Stockland hill. The site is simple but adequate facilities. You could camp and use the catering available for every meal if you liked! This is a 'rustic' place without manicured gardens but the owners and staff have all the time in the world for you and we experienced good food. The people next to were having a cream tea and that looked amazing. A quiet little gem of a place.

Really wonderful food and atmosphere. A hidden taste of Devon with all its charm. I would definitely like to return and try their cream tea.

We stopped here for a cream tea and whilst the food was absolutely excellent the cafe and setting was rather disappointing it looked half finished and had random junk all over the place the toilets didn't even have hot running water but food out of this world

We bought a large amount of produce again this year with complete confidence. The sumptuous joint of beef and all the trimmings, which produced a Christmas Dinner to end all dinners. No waste, just lean beef. We still have a lovely Christmas pudding to go and a beautiful gammon joint to savour. The mince pies are deep and just perfect for over endulging in. Once again the Sweetland family have produced a fantastic selection of food guaranteed to provide a worry free meal, to feed three households.

Boveys Down Farm was an absolute gem of a find, we had gone to Otter Nursery but unfortunately their restaurant was closing. We were all disappointed as we all really fancied a cream tea. On our way back to Kings Down Tail Campsite we saw a sign on the side of the road for cream teas. We pulled in and down the hill we saw “The Swallows Rest” where we were greeted by the lovely Pam and we ordered four cream teas. We were all blown away when the scones came out, they were hot from the oven. We had four choices of homemade jam and even honey, loads of fabulous clotted cream and a really nice pot of tea. We were all so impressed that we all went back the next day with two of our friends and ordered six cream teas. Unfortunately Pam only had ten scones left but she told us if we wanted to wait 20 minutes she would cook some more. We were served our ten scones by Gerald, whose photo was on the wall with Prince Charles and the time just flew by waiting for our other two scones, listening to how he met him last year. A fabulous couple and probably the best cream tea I have ever had and I have had a few. We will be back when we are down in Devon again and next time we will try Pam’s Sunday Roast and of course have another of her cream teas.

Called here on a day trip,Best Scones ever plenty of Clotted cream fab homade jam .Tea piping hot and plenty of choice

Just returned from a 3 night break at Boveys Down Farm. I must say it was the best camping holiday ever! Lovely evening Meals, amazing Cream Tea and a warm and friendly welcome. Such wonderful views and homely atmosphere! I would definitely recommend. The prices were very reasonable. A big plus for us was that we could have a fire and the fire pit and wood were provided. We took our dog who was also made to feel welcome by superhosts Pam and Gerald. It was also great to be so near to everything but feeling like we were away from it all at the same time. Looking forward to returning one day.

We have just returned from Devon having spent 5 days there, we usually stay at Boveys Down but due to us booking the time off at last minute there wasn’t availabilityhowever that didn’t deter us from visiting Pam and Gerald to say hello.

I spotted this hidden gem as I cycled past one morning. Later that day I took the family back for a cream tea and we weren’t disappointed. Probably the best cream tea we’ve ever had. Warm scones, crispy outside, soft inside. Loads of clotted cream, three types of jam (raspberry, strawberry, black currant) and honey. Two of us chose cakes: a beautiful lemon tart and a really light Victoria sponge. Friendly service and good value. Yes, it’s on a picnic bench under a gazebo, rather than on a manicured lawn, but it’s well worth the visit.

Six of us ladies had a most delicious cream here this afternoon. Beautiful surroundings, lovely atmosphere and as for the cream tea....sigh....heavenly. We are coming back to try the lunch next time, have already tried the Sunday roast and give it top marks. Very friendly owner and staff too.

Had a great week here camping very chilled out .cream teas in great demand and sunday roast to.the owners couldn't have done enough for us.nice little site

What a wonderful find. THE best cream tea ever! Warm scones, a selection of jams, honey and organic clotted cream. Wonderful, thank you 10/10!!! We will definitely head back to stay on the site.

Saw the sign and dropped in. Plenty of other reviewers have described the building, the scones, the company and all we can say is yes, agree, yes, agree, yes agree. Just wanted to add that I gave up looking for real scones years ago..... anything in a shop will be full of baking powder and you can taste it Yuk!. Then there is the added fruit.... that's a no-no if you are having a proper cream tea.

We camped here last weekend and very much enjoyed your hospitality thank you! Lovely warm showers, clean toilets and a fantastic hillside spot! We look forward to coming again soon :)

We stayed as a group of 6 adults in the glamping tent. Pam and Terry thought of everything, even down to a complimentary bottle of bubbles in the fridge. The deco in the glamping tent was just beautiful! We loved cooking BBQ's in the evening and enjoying the beautiful English country views from our outside table and chairs. Couldn't recommend this highly enough - a true gem! The cream tea's were just delicious. 10/10!! Thank you for having us - we will be sure to come back one day! :)

Hemos pasado una semana en Devon cada año desde 2002, y probamos muchos buena crema tés en ese tiempo. Después de haber visto los anuncios y comentarios, por Granja Boveys prometía algo realmente especial. Como estaba abierto desde las 12. 00, y que nos íbamos a encontrar a alguien en 3. 00, decidimos saltarnos el almuerzo y llegamos pronto después de 1. 00:00 h.

Visitamos aquí tras llegar a un stand en la feria de la avenida Valle y mi marido recogió una tarjeta de negocios. Antes visitamos la zona me gustaría me decía que quería encontrar una granja que sirve tés helados. No me decepcionó. A nuestra llegada nos entramos en una habitación grande y convertido de granero (posiblemente en medio de una renovación? Con varias mesas de madera) para tes. Éramos las únicas personas allí, pero había llegado al mediodía, así que no me sorprendió. Poco después de estar sentados una procesión de cosas llegamos a nuestra mesa, una gran taza de té con agua caliente para más, 4 bollos (2 cada uno), miel, mermeladas de diferentes, y 3 un plato muy grande de crema de leche. Los bollos eran increíbles. Luz cálida, y así en la textura. Todo se evapora en la boca. Esta fue, esta fue la merienda tuve ganas! ! Yo creo que los propietarios estaban ocupados re-abasteciendo sus tartas, etc. para su tienda de venta de salida después en la feria, pero tenía tenían alguna duda, me habría comprado algunos. . Si sus tés estaban por estoy seguro de todo lo que venden sería igual de delicioso! No puedo recomendar lo suficiente por Granja de Bovey y sin duda volveremos para el té, y tal vez algunos otros sabrosas cuando estemos en la zona. No hay otros tés que vi en la zona parecía ofrecer la misma cantidad o calidad. Pd. Esto fue una ganga y creo que estamos bajo ellos mismos precios!

Esta es la segunda vez que he estado en Bovey Farm y Abajo esta vez trajimos con nosotros dos amigos, y como era de esperar la merienda era de primera clase y nuestros amigos nos encantó también, Gerald y Pam siempre te hacen sentir bienvenido con una sonrisa y una charla no importa lo ocupados que estén.

¡Guau! Para ser honesto, nos detuvimos aquí como después, pero ahora será la primera elección cuando se trata de tés helados o pasteles, etc. desde esta parte de Devon! Me encanta tés, así que probé con pocos pero este estaba muy por encima de lo que yo he tenido en el pasado. Tres mermeladas y helados orgánicos de cuajada. . . mmm mi hija de 14 meses tenía un bollo de queso salado y mi marido tenía el pastel de zanahoria (todas efectuadas en el sitio) que probé el bollo salado y guau. La comida era tan buena que compramos extra scones llevar a casa y mi marido tenía una tarta (que le encantó). Había una enorme selección de té que se sirve en un juego de té china. El personal y los dueños eran tan acogedores y muy amable. Estamos planeando volver muy pronto. No puedo recomendar este lugar. Una verdadera joya escondida. Muchas gracias.

Never judge a book by its cover, this may not be a quaint tea room you would expect. But don't be fooled the staff are exceptionally friendly, the cream tea is five star. I've never had so many choices of preserves or so much clotted cream.

cream teas in afternoon scones homemade 100% steak Aberdeen angus cooked on site very tasteful campsite clean good showers

I have given some thought to writing this review as I take seriously the comments I make - I was doing a two day camping trip with my sister this weekend just gone and she had booked Bovey Down Farm as our site for the visit. I hadn't read up much about the farm but the little I knew gave me the feeling it would be quite a rustic affair and perhaps for me something I might not have chosen. HOWEVER after arriving and staying two nights I was absolutely taken with the whole package. The campsite is small and to a degree left as nature intended, the amenities are as you would expect showers/toilets/ etc and all clean and functional, what cannot be expressed on an internet site is the effort and personality that welcomes you from the proprietors Pamela and Gerald who absolutely make the place. Quirky is the word I would use and it is meant as a big compliment. Every little need has been thought about from the freezers for your icepacks, to Microwaves, fridges and all the little bits you might need to help you enjoy your camp, and as an added bonus Pamela runs a fantastic kitchen from which she produces breakfast, lunch and dinner for those who feel the need, to a takeaway service of home cooked produce including amazing cream teas which are possibly the best I have tasted, and home made pasties, fish and chips and a wide range of takeaway suppers. They are true diamonds, dedicated to the business they run and I found the whole atmosphere extremely warm. I left with a sense of wanting to return for another super camping experience away from the rat race of modern day life. There were even facilities provided for fires and BBQs - nothing was too much trouble. A recent addiiton has been added to the site in the shape of a beautiful wooden structure designed for wedding ceremonies in the woodlands. This place is quite unique and truly a labour of love.

This campsite is idyllic. It comprises a field that overlooks the most stunning view and is run by Pamela and Gerald who are the most welcoming campsite owners I have ever met. It is not a large commercialised campsite but a place for people who...

Habíamos visto las señales en nuestro camino a la cerveza en la mañana y cuando hablamos de té, recordaba el aviso, así que en vez de estar en cerveza de salir hacia casa. Qué delicia. Perfecto en todos los sentidos, un té helado tan bueno...

Another great stay with Pam and Gerald at Boveys Down Farm.Cream tea was excellent as was the Fillet steak thankyou Pam ☺Thanks to Gerald for the walk to see the animals Oscar loved it, aswell as the darts in the new tearoom.Good luck with the new venture with the weddings we look forward into hearing all about it next year when we come back.

Sandra and Leslie invited their family and friends to celebrate their engagement. We all enjoyed a lovely cream tea served by the friendly owners.

For many years my Wife has wanted to call in for a cream tea and while we had friends with us we gave it a try. The establishment was very strange being a barn type building with "rustic " decor. The waiter, Gerald, was unusual wearing a cap and dark apron looking like a farmer which in fact he is, he was extremely likeable with a wicked sense of humour.We had to wait for the scones to cook but well worth the delay. His Wife came out to see if evrything was OK and we asked if they did Sunday Lunches, what would you like she said, surprise us we replied. We turned up at 1.30 and had a wonderful meal wirh beef reared in the next field. Cant wait for the next visit.

Having seen the signs for the cream tea at the side of the road we decided to pop in and give it a try. On first impressions it seemed a little ramshackle but we didn't let that put us off - we had the nicest cream tea EVER! All served in lovely china and laid out beautifully. The scones were made fresh so brought to the table lovely and warm. The clotted cream was a delight and served with honey, strawberry jam and blackberry jam. We got a nice big pot of tea and hot water so you could have more tea if you wanted to. We were made to feel welcome and Pam and Gerald chatted to us and were incredibly friendly. We had the dog with us and they made a fuss of him and provided him with a bowl of water which was kind. Pam told us that they're currently converting the cow shed into a tea room which I'm sure will be lovely when finished and a lovely place for her to serve her glorious cream teas! We loved it so much we went back for another today as we're going home tomorrow. Pam and Gerald welcomed us and were pleased to see us again. The cream tea didn't disappoint and we scoffed the lot! You get a lot for the £6 (each) so it's excellent value for money. We also purchased a large homemade steak and ale pie for £6.50 which we had for dinner tonight and it was really tasty! Such a lovely little place and a bit of a find!It's worth noting that Pam offers the cream tea as a take-away as a lady arrived when we were there on our first visit and she left with a box so you could purchase one and drive it to the coast to enjoy by the sea... how very lovely! :o) If you're in the area on holiday or just passing through make sure you stop here, it's LOVELY!

Having just returned from a weeks stay what can we say...we even managed to stay an extra day!! well Pam and Gerald are lovely people, Pam's home cooking is excellent, we tried the burgers, steak and breakfast not to mention the scrummy pies. We are very much looking forward to returning next year for another delightful stay thanks again Gerald and Pam :-)

If you think the cream teas are the best, you must try Pam and Gerald's aberdeen angus pies they are to die for. We have spent a week camping at Bovey Down Farm with friends and family and have had a really great time. Pam and Gerald were most welcoming and very friendly. We sampled the cream teas and on our last night Pam and Gerald cooked us all a lovely supper - serving up pies and steaks with home made bread (much cheaper than a pub meal - we drank our own wine and beer). The pies were so good we brought some to take home and now we wish we had brought more.Thank you Pam and Gerald.Sarah, Melvyn, Hannah (Dunstall), William, Jess (Cole), Tracey and Maisey (Harmes)

We popped in late on a Sunday evening 5.10 pm and were welcomed with a cheery smile after taking an hour to arrive cos of 'Sunday drivers' !!!Well worth the drive to get here as the best ever cream tea was served up under the awning on a sunny evening.Loved the ambience, loved the tea loved it all.Will be backthankyou

If you want the perfect getaway for camping with awesome hosts then you ve found it! Gerald & Pam were great, Really accommodating, helpful & more. The site itself is perfect, views over the valley from the camping field, great shower & toilet (& new ones being built for this summer). Home produced food available. Plenty of fresh water & a fridge for camper's use too! Dog friendly, firepit friendly, wood available....... I could go on & on & on but the best thing to do is check it out for yourself!! We will definately be back for more camping heaven!

Called here for cake stop during cycle with Axe Valley Pedallers. Cake & hospitality first class, will def be back for a cream tea! Thank you

After looking on tripadvisor for a cream tea, my partner found this one with it's couple of 5* reviews, so we decided to check it out. We found the turning easily enough, and drove across a field containing caravans down to a farm building with a tarpaulin covering a number of tables and chairs.Thinking we had stumbled into an English version of Deliverance, we questioned if we had the right place, until the owner appeared and asked if we were here for a cream tea. We said yes, and sat down at a table with mismatched chairs and cutlery.When the cream tea turned up, we were amazed. The scones were HUGE, 2 each, there was a massive dollop of clotted cream and two bowls of jam (The photo on this page is small in comparison). My partner had enough tea for three cups. The quality of the scones, jam and cream was also of the highest quality. The quiet setting surrounded by trees and fields grew on us and the two staff were friendly and charming. At £5 a head it was also cheaper than some much poorer teas we had on holiday.The next time we are down in Devon visiting my parents, we will be sure to pop in again for a great afternoon snack!

My son took me to Bovey Down Farm as a treat - and what a treat! These really were the best scones I have ever tasted - still warm - and served with delicious, home-made jams and, of course, Devon cream. So, forget about calories for once, and just enjoy! You will not be disappointed.

We found Bovey Down Farm quite by accident at 6.30 on a Saturday afternoon on the early May bank holiday. We really weren't sure that they'd still be serving, but were given a warm welcome and had chairs and tables moved around to accommodate our large party in the early evening sunshine.The cream tea was the best we've ever tasted. The scones were baked for us and served with the tastiest jams and honey that was truly the finest any of us had ever had. I would heartily recommend anyone who finds themselves in the area to make sure that they find Bovey Down Farm and avail themselves of their wonderful fare!
