Camel Trail Tea Garden in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

My family had been walking the Camel trail and we stopped for refreshments/lunch. It was my birthday so several of us had the cream tea which was enjoyed. Nice atmosphere friendly and good quality enjoyed by us all

Had a wonderful time having lunch enjoyed it totally 😊 ploughman's beer and scones lovely jubbly many thanks to daughter amber and staff for organising it 😀 loved it 😀 😊 lively cafe recommended ta visit

We stopped here (as we have done many times before, and was planning to again) whilst cycling the Camel trail today. Before getting our refreshments, I went to take my 8 year old to the toilet. I was told by the rather rude gentleman that menus were on the table. I explained that I was just taking my child to the toilet first and he became very agreesive saying that I must order something first. I explained that I would as soon as I had taken my child to the toilet but he continued to rant at me saying it wasn't a public convenice and I had to buy something first. I walked away from him and took her to the toilet. After I went to the little hut where I explained that we had been there before and was planning on coming again in the future so it was a shame he was so rude to me as I was now having second thoughts about returning at which point he told me he did not want my custom, so I left without buying anything (and won't be returning!). What kind of establishment insists you buy something before you can take a small child to the toilet?!

Went for a morning walk down the Camel Trail with my dad who lives in the area. I needed the restroom and came across this establishment after seeing numerous signs for it while walking. Walked into the area, through a cute little orchard, past a gift shop that was shuttered up, and through to the restrooms, which were fine. No obvious signs or indications that they were limited use, no one around to ask and they were unlocked. Leaving, I saw a women whom I said good morning to and whom asked that we not walk through the orchard to return to the trail, and then a male owner shouted me down and informed me that I would purchase a bottle of water because I used the toilets. The assumption being I wasn’t going to. The tone was rude and accusatory and the reasoning he gave me was people come off the trail and use the facilities blocking them from the use of paying customers… which is fair, but there was no one else there and we would have happily had a coffee and a treat, but nothing was open. It was not welcoming, and maybe he isn’t a Monday morning kinda guy, but if you don’t want foot traffic off the trail, don’t advertise on the trail.

My husband and I stop here once a year whilst on the camel trail, never had any complaints, food is of good quality and the service is good , even when they are very busy. We stopped yesterday and I had the ham ploughman’s and my husband got the crab sandwich- it was £15 but okay , but then when it arrived it wasn’t even two whole pieces of bread , it had been cut into triangles and he only got 3 - I’m sorry but £15 for not even 2 full pieces of bread is taking the mickey! We then had a cream tea , which despite 2 scones only comes for tea for one person- come on - who is eating 2 scones on their own? It should have been a pot of tea for 2 at that price , £9.50 , it is a lovely place to stop whilst riding but the prices and portions leave some what to be desired

We’ve stopped here a couple of times when we’ve walked or ridden the Camel Trail and it just seems to get better and better. Truly amazing food - this time the fresh local crab sandwich ❤️ Excellent sized portions and staff extremely friendly. Location fantastic! Can’t wait to visit again.

Was looking forward to stopping here whilst walking thd camel trail on a rainy day - signs were welcoming and counting down the miles encouraging us on our walk - Guess what they were closed when we got there - how annoying Suggestion put your opening times on your signs as to not dissappoint people This was a Saturday lunch time on a school October half term

Lovely pit stop on a bike ride from Padstow, really friendly service and a nice glass of Camel Valley bubbles! Thank you!

Nasty owners, clearly doesn’t like dogs as he kicked one of ours which was just a puppy! Very nasty aggressive rude and arrogant man. If they don’t want dogs entering from the trail path they need to put a gate up not have open access. Even the best trained dogs will be tempted by the lure of freshly cooked food. Also be very careful on the paths which are ridiculously slippery and dangerous when wet. We were considering renting a cottage run by them but we will certainly not return here!

This is our 4th or 5th visit and did not disappoint- a lovely baked potato and a Cornish pasty both served with a lovely fresh salad. The coffee and lemon drizzle cake was equally as delicious. Excellent friendly service and a beautiful setting to rest weary feet!! Thank you

Two of us with a tiny dog stopped here on impulse whilst cycling past on the Camel Trail - and we’re SO glad we did. It was a hot weekday lunchtime, and the sign outside with the words ‘Cream Teas’ and ‘Garden’ called to us. We sat under the shade of a tree listening to birdsong to eat our delicious cream tea. Soft melt-in-the-mouth scones; tasty jam (homemade?); thick clotted cream - and enough tea in the pot for three cups each. All served promptly with a smile. The only thing we couldn’t agree on was whether the jam or the cream goes on the scone first.

The worst black coffee we have ever had - very weak and over-priced (£6.60 for two coffees - hot water with something brown in it!) We are locals who will never return to this establishment. Sorry.

Great refuel stop on the camel trail. We only stopped for tea / coffee / cake. The cakes we ordered were excellent.

Lovely location, gardens, friendly staff and beautiful cat however I was expecting more from a £15 ploughman's than a smidge of salad, a couple slices of ham and a small roll

Really nice spot, great food. I had cream tea, my kids had sandwiches and paninis, everybody happy. Would love to do the walk and come back.

Popped in for a cheeky early morning coffee and cake, what an absolute gem of a place, service was excellent and the venue was so idyllic. Very pleasant relaxed atmosphere with plenty of space between seating etc..

We stepped off the Camel Trail and into this cafe, which is literally located on the trail. The setting is wooden seating in a garden, under apple trees. The food is ordered in the wooden hut and delivered from the bungalow on the same site. We ordered a cream tea to share and coffee. The cream tea was disappointing, when compared to the few we had already sampled at other locations. The scones we very average and we were disappointed. The passing trade, even in the rain, was steady and cakes and coffee were making their way to customers, so possibly the cakes are better quality.

Perfect quiet location in beautiful gardens. Lots of seating. Very friendly staff and perfect gluten free scones. So glad we found this place and will definitely return on our next Cornish adventure.

Great carrot cake and lemon drizzle cake! 🍰 Also ordered the vegan apricot, orange and almond slice which was delicious 😋. A great place to stop for a snack or lunch if you’re cycling along the Camel trail. Definitely worth a visit. 👍🏻 Only downside were the pesky wasps 🐝which were out in force today!

Most lovely place! We were on holiday in the area and could not go without a cream tea. The staff were so welcoming and would love to visit again.

Well today I decided to walk my two large dogs from home (bodmin) to Wadebridge and back. where possible I like to use small independent business so stopped here when almost home. I made my way to the outside shop, just a converted summerhouse and...

Walked over from Wadebridge and stopped for a coffee, the service was super quick and the staff very friendly. The coffee was quick and was nice but given the weather in this part of the country and that the seats are outside a better type...

We have been a few time to this beautiful relaxing place. The food is consistently great & all the staff are extremely professional but incredibly friendly. There’s a large varied menu to choose from too! Service always seems quick but obviously on some days as...

had a cream tea here very nice .friendly staff nice garden lovely setting a hidden gem set in the camel valley well worth a visit

Outstanding value, exemplary menu. Do not judge us as a couple because we ended up ordering and eating three lunches! The PERFECT venue for lunch after a long morning cycling on the Camel Trail.

Stumbled on this place back in July whilst on holiday. On two separate occasions now have frequented those lovely place on at least six occasions. All we can say is we were treated fabulously by the chap in the hut, had really lovely, good quality...

Really disappointed with the extremely high cost for everything we had. £2.60 for a can off coke is bonkers. £11 for a glass of wine and £10 for a kids sandwich. We are local and will not be returning.

This little tea garden is fantastic. Tucked away, so not inundated with tourists, but also convenient as right on the Camel Trail, making it a pit stop for cyclists and walkers. Tasty food, beautiful location and good service. We had a fabulous charcuterie sharing board,...

The man in his hut makes you feel like you “have” to order food for starters and wasn’t best pleased when all we ordered was a slice of cake which cost us £4.75 which was at the higher end of the scale for what it...

I’m certain that despite a less than favourable review, it won’t really affect the amount of trade they get here. We stopped for cake and coffee but waited over 20 minutes for our drinks which only arrived after we asked about them. Meanwhile, the gentleman...

Disgusting behaviour from manager Mike! We visited the tearooms with a baby and two old dogs. The manager decided to come at is to put the dogs on a lead as the sign was so small we did not see this. The manner in which...

Stunning. A beautiful setting with dappled shade across the garden. Plenty of tables and seating, a great menu including salads, sandwiches, baked potatoes, pasties, a huge range of cakes, and many drinks choices. We stopped off here after cycling from Wadebridge and it was the...

Everything was just right. Reasonably priced and even though very busy, the service was efficient and excellent. Will be visiting again soon.

Took a leisurely walk along the Camel Trail. Came across The Tea Room. Fantastic Location. Very good menu. Prices to match...Friendly staff.. I would recommend if you are in the area you must stop off.... 💯

This is a gem of a cafe nestled into the bank along the camel trail. Great place to stop while exploring the camel trail. We sampled the Cornish pasty and a panini which were both really lovely. The gentleman who served us was very friendly...

We stopped here for lunch last year when we were in Cornwall so we knew it was dog friendly and the food was nice. The food again was lovely and a nice coffee break on our long bike ride but the man serving behind the...

Lovely stop on camel trail walk. Good selection of salad, sandwiches and cake. Licensed. Steep teared levels. Dog friendly.

We have been staying at woodland retreat & have Done some lovely things to include cycling the camel trail from wadebridge to padstow & back through to Bodmin, We have also walked it & on both occasions the camel trail tea room has been closed,...

Great cafe with just what you need after a lovely bike ride. Excellent service and food, would recommend:)

What a pleasure it was to visit this little gem. Lovely cream tea. A real treat. Thank you to the kind owner who helped my hubby manoeuvre our hire car.

Great service and very good selection of food. We had a savoury choice:panini and Cornish pasty, which were good, but the cream teas that passed us looked even better the scones were enormous! So forget the picnic and treat yourselves…..

Great food, drinks, service and setting. First class and a welcome oasis after walking along the Camel Trail.

We always receive a warm welcome here, lovely setting abs after a good hour of cycling, a well deserved rest. The fresh Cornish Crab Sandwiches are excellent, well presented and the staff friendly and helpful

So glad we stumbled upon this lovely place. Staff are so friendly and just lovely. The pub down the trail did us a huge favour by turning us away so we came back here. Food was quick and so fresh and tasty. Ploughmans was delicious,...

Wonderful find on the Camel Trail. Very busy but quick service. Lovely place to sit and have a rest. Food was fabulous. Would highly recommend

Not sure why, but the staff refused to heat a pre-prepared meal for the man I support (work) who has very complex needs, the grounds for this refusal being sited rather broadly as 'Covid restrictions'. I don't think this was relevant. Rather expensive food £10.95...

Stopped here for a cup of tea and cake when cycling the camel trail - the trick is to stop on the way back from Bodmin as it’s downhill that way! Lovely tregothan tea and fresh warm scone with rodda’s clotted cream. Very friendly staff...

Great location next to Camel trail. Food was average. We ordered two pasties, one steak and one veggie and both were obviously heated in microwave as the pastry was soggy and limp. The worst pasties we have had in Cornwall so far. Ploughman’s was generous...

We visited this at the end of the outbound leg (Cycle from Padstow). It was well worth the cycle trip. Food and service was great as was sitting in the orchard for lunch. A hidden gem! Ps - loved the crab salad!

We came here a few times as we were staying close by also family we’re using the bike trail. Food was lovely and the place was nice to just sit and chill in the shade and have a cold drink and something to eat. Would...

Just had a fantastic lunch here as a stop off whilst cycling the Camel Trail. The Crab sandwich in a gluten free roll with side salad was lovely. The cakes looked amazing as did the cream teas but was too full to try them. Plenty...

A great mid-way stop on our bike ride! Super friendly staff and very clean! Cream tea was a winner, tasted fab and such good value!

always pop in here for a cream tea or pannini, great value food in a great little setting. great stop off when going up and down the camel trail, either on bikes or foot. always recommend this as a go to place hen friends visit.

We stopped here with the children after a 10 mile bike ride in the rain. It’s a very pretty place with terraced gardens and tables set well apart with shade from trees and canvas umbrellas. Lovely cakes, lovely staff

We visited this place earlier on in the week and had no issues and decided to pop back on our way home, really wished we hadn’t. We saw an elderly couple leave a small table so we went to sit when a waitress (who was...

When you see the bikes piled up either side of the Camel Trail path, you know you've arrived at the Tea Rooms. The portions are very generous, scones are served warm with lashings of clotted cream and jam. Beers and wine are available and the...

lovely setting, really great food. a great place to stop on the camel trail for drinks food and loo.

Stopped while cycling on the way to Padstow. We had been here before so knew what to expect. Not disappointed .Had crab sandwiches and coffee. Lovely meal. A bit expensive but worth it. Very pretty place and perfect for a stop to rest. Staff always...

This was an unexpected find indeed. What helped was the glorious weather and stunning views of the countryside and in the distance the beautiful vineyards. We all (group of 4) stopped on foot at this cafe, it was great, the service was excellent from ordering...

We stopped at the end of our ride to Padstow and back for a well deserved cream tea. It’s a great location and we had a lovely table up on the terrace. However the ingredients for the tea were cheap and tasteless. The scones were...

What a little gem! And licenced to boot! Ideal spot for a bit of lunch after your cycling or walk Set in the an orchard with shades areas and plenty of space around each table The good is goid, my companion had a pasty and...

Great food, good portions, nice staff, they also did gluten dairy free cakes which was good. Good selection of wine, provide camel vineyard too so if you didn't book just sample here

Stopped at the tea garden for a well deserved cream tea after walking the Camel Trail from the village of Tresarrett to Wadebridge. ( and back) . It is set in a beautiful terraced apple orchard . The staff were all very friendly, and worked...

Amazing! This place is so unique went every day on holiday sat at a different table just loved it! Served delicious cakes, sandwiches and lots more. Also serves alcohol!

Hired Cycles from Wadebridge and cycled to Snail pace café. On the way back, decided to plump for a cream tea . Lovely home made scones, and you get 2!!. Terrace is a great place to sit and watch the world go by.

Stopped for much needed sustenance after cycling from Padstow on the Camel Trail. Beautiful spot in the gardens of a bungalow. Good social distancing and friendly service. Crab sandwich had a good flavour but the portion size was way too small, thin and small slices of bread and a teaspoon of crab for £14! I can only assume they had run out of crab but should have offered an alternative. The scones were so delicious and served with good quality jam and clotted cream and good value for money. Star taken off for the price as way too expensive for the location. Sandwich, ginger ale and scones £26.

Lovely cafe and situation. Shame about the owners.. Smallest portions and highly priced compared with competitors.

We stopped here on our cycle ride for sustenance and a break! Weather was lovely and we enjoyed sandwiches and drinks on well spaced tables in nice gardens. Our server was friendly and helpful, finding us a map to help us. Very Covid safe too.

We were down at the beach and I googled best place to have a scone and this came up. We drove over and stopped for a spot of lunch. Amazing service lovely owner really friendly was so good with our 3 crazy gang. We had scones, crab sandwich cakes basically everything we had was yummmmy was very impressed. Was lovely sitting in a beautiful garden. Defo will do the bike trail next time and stop here.

Friendly Covid safe service . Excellent crab sandwich followed by afternoon tea. The scones are as good as reviews 😋

So we went here today, sat at an outside table and 'only' ordered three deluxe hot chocolates. I confess we started eating one of our own sandwiches whilst waiting. By goodness, the excessive anger the owner had a go at us for eating non purchased food and 'only' ordering drinks was astoundingly. Warning, just don't think this bloke actually likes any of his customers, especially the ones that don't spend shed loads of cash

This is a great place to stop when walking or cycling the Camel Trail . The owner could not have been more friendly and the service was very quick . Being outdoors it is also a safe and easily socially-distanced place if everyone is considerate . Tip- If walking from Wadebridge it is quite a long way being near Boscarne Junction - Closer to Bodmin .

Stopped at the tea garden for lunch, staff are friendly and helpful, Panini's were delicious and we were able to sample the local Camel Valley wine. Plenty of seating but the parking is a bit minimal, not a problem for us as we walked along the Camel trail and this garden is actually on the trail itself, but our husband's wanted to join us and had trouble parking. Their pasties were also hot and delicious and we spent a couple of hours here as we also had a pot of tea before we had our lunch.

Do you want to be abused by the owner, well this is the place for you to visit, particularly if you have children with you. I would have loved to have tried the food after a long walk but not after the deeply unpleasant and offensive greeting that I witnessed.

Stopped here for breakfast yesterday after cycling the trail from Wadebridge. Great setting and service.Coffee, tea and Cornish bacon baps (which we’re out of this world) fresh bread and lots of perfectly cooked bacon. Well worth a visit for lunch too as it has a varied menu.

Stopped for a quick coffee at the end of the day before we returned to our nearby holiday cottage. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is that we only had a drink. Very nice, peaceful location in a terraced garden next to the Camel Trail.Friendly service but note that there is no parking on site only a few spaces available in a nearby layby. However I assume most of their business comes from cyclists & hikers on the adjacent trail.

Lovely place to stop off for a refreshing drink and bite to eat .Good Service and nice atmosphere. Just one major thing that spoilt it was seeing big jars filled with some kind of sweetener and hundreds of dead wasps inside that had obviously purposely been trapped .Is there really any need for this ? My children were horrified to see all the dead wasps and at least four big jars scattered around the garden -WASP MASSACRE ,probably dead Bees in there too .Come on guys ,you appear to be in touch with nature so why spoil it for the nature lovers coming to sit in your garden .

Came across this whilst walking the camel trail. Excellent food, Covid safe. Efficient and friendly service.

Set in very pretty gardens, warm and welcoming service from staff, this tea garden is worth a visit...but not for breakfast as they don’t do that.

Went on a bike ride and stopped here on the way backGreat place to stop for sureWe had a lovely bottle of camel valley sparkling wine Had panini and a lovely tasting lemon and blueberry vegan cakeWas served by William which couldn’t do enough for you Will definitely be stopping here again 5 stars alround

Stopped here on a bike ride from Wadebridge to Bodmin. Fantastic service, great cream teas with a glass of Atlantic dry white wine from Camel winery & a Korev Cornish lager. Tables nicely spaced and an un rushed experience - would recommend wholeheartedly.

Brilliant, gorgeous English Tea Garden vibe, nice menu for food and beverages, great service, recommended !

I enjoyed my visit and its a nice stop off on the camel trail. Staff were very friendly and helpful.However I was very disappointed with the food and particularly the prices charged. £13 for a crab sandwich with naff all crab which after I'd paid less elsewhere for a full sized dressed crab seemed pretty steep to me. Also very disappointed with the cornish pasty which was on par with standard supermarket fare. Maybe I just chose poorly and I appreciate a bit of tourist tax applied to prices especially so in current climate but a little bit lacking on value.

Came here for lunch halfway through the camel trial, Outstanding all round, goats cheese panini and cream tea was particularly nice,

So much choice of local products including the wine from a couple of fields away. Cake, cheese, cider so much choice for the whole family we visited twice on our bikes! Great friendly service from the whole team.

Perfectly placed for lunch on the camel trail. Nice simple food that is perfect with lots of options for everyone. The cakes looked amazing although we didn’t have a chance to try one but would say that you should! Good measures put in place for Covid, with the toilets clean and hand sanitiser on entry and leaving the toilets. Staff all had masks on and felt safe and clean even with lots of people.

Good food for a lunch on the Camel Trail but really struggling to maintain a covid-19 safe site. No mask on stsff at till. Groups allowed to ignore 1 person at a time signage. 8 people in 3x2m till shack at one point. No contact tracing details taken.

After checking online to see if you were open (it says your open all year round), I came for a walk with my in laws who are down from London, we walked 5.8 miles (it’s my mother in laws birthday). It was a long stomp in the rain, we were looking forward to having some lunch here as all starving. We had a diabetic, an asthmatic, and birthday girl with us. When we finally cheered as we approached your tea rooms, we noticed it looked closed. There was a sign saying ‘closed until march’. Very disappointed. We then had to pay £20 taxi back to Wadebridge as we wouldn’t have managed 5 miles back with no food or drink.Very disappointed.

I went here over six months ago and it feels like I reminisce about it every week. We went on a sunny, breezy day and sat in a gazebo in the orchard and it was so peaceful and lovely. The gluten free scones were excellent and the clotted cream was amazing. If the weather is good, you can't ask for a better tea garden, and I really wish I didn't live thousands of miles away! I highly recommend it if you're in the area, or even as a reason to be in the area--combined with cycling or Lanhydrock it would be a perfect day or weekend trip. Thanks for a wonderful memory!

A fantastic place to stop on the Camel Trail while cycling. We were doing Padstow to Bodmin and back. Cheerful and helpful staff, great food, value for money and a beautiful al fresco dining location.

Convenient rest spot prior to the most uphill section into Bodmin. The coffee and pastie where could and the service friendly but if you want VFM cycle the last mile to the high street.

Stopped off here for a cream tea. Beautiful day. Sat on a table in a little orchard. Good place to stop if you are walking or cycling the Camel Trail.

My wife and I hired bikes in Wadebridge yesterday, and set off to Bodmin along the Camel trail. Just over half way there we came across this very nice tea garden, so we decided to stop and have lunch. I had soup of the day(leek and potato) which was really nice, which came with half a fresh baguette and butter. My wife had a tuna sandwich that was freshly made, with nice fresh bread, and a nice pot of tea. The setting is really nice on a sloped garden, with lots of tables, which are not crowded together. All in all a nice place and nice lunch.

I called by this well located tea room by chance..Staff super friendly which was good.I ordered a cream tea - what arrived was as follows :Dry scones The most awful cheap discount jam I have ever tasted.Clotted Cream - cannot go wrong there.Tea - quite fine.In summary it was terrible .. it doesn’t cost much to have fresh scones and decent jam.What made it worse was I tried to contact the owners via their website prior to taking to reviews - but I never received a reply so feel I must write here.What a shame..

Popped in while cycling, live in Bodmin.Poor service, coffee tasted like instant, gentleman at the "main desk" seemed not that happy that all we wanted was coffee and tea.Go the extra distance to Bodmin town, try No 4 or the Vegan Cafe.Sorry, but this place is really poor.

We cycled from Padstow to Bodmin but could not find anywhere we fancied to eat in Bodmin so came here on our way back to Padstow. Glad we did. Good crab salad and a cream tea. We shared both so it made for a perfect light lunch. Nice setting under the orchard and plenty of tables available. Good service.

Wow ! I couldn’t fault this place - a beautiful oasis . We stopped here on our way to Bodmin- we were cycling from Padstow . Yes a bit pricey but fabulous pretty garden with lots of shade. The food was fresh and well presented and the place seemed really well organised - service was prompt ! Loved it !!

We had cycled 5 miles before stopping here for cake and a drink. The carrot cake I had was amazing. I had hot chocolate too. Also lovely. My husband enjoyed his blackberry and apple cake too. I would stop here again if I return to Wadebridge.

Absolutely gorgeous tearoom. Perfect for hot, sweaty cyclists! Plenty of outdoor seating. Yummy food. Great service.

The crab sandwich costs £12.75. For that, I would expect something memorable - and it was. It consisted of a meagre filling of crab meat and many bits of shell, very bog-standard white bread and a limp side salad. When asked for dressing, one of the staff replied “It’s nothing to do with me.”
