Lee Abbey Tea Cottage in North Devon

Geweldige scones en supervriendelijk personeel. Heerlijke plek vlak bij zee. Prijs kwaliteit excellent. Pareltje wat door veel mensen nog niet is ontdekt

What a delightful cafe and a really warm welcome. Home made fare includes flapjack, scones and delicious sounding soups. We visited on two successive days for coffee and cake whilst walking the South West Coast Path. Splendid.

Lovely tea garden. Secluded garden, tables scattered so ideal to find a quiet spot with a bonkers dog! We had a cream tea each. Two huge scones, jam and cream (a little more cream would have been nice). Reasonably priced. Lovely china cups and saucers. Menu has all sorts of cakes/snacks so plenty of choice. Friendly, polite service. Definitely recommend a visit - lovely walk from Lynmouth through Valley of Rocks.

We discovered this absolute gem of a tearoom on a walk from Valley of the Rocks. It was nestled in a beautiful garden; a perfect setting for afternoon tea. The staff were very pleasant and polite and the tea was served in china crockery. The scones were perfectly cooked and tasted absolutely delicious - compliments to the chef! A lovely menu, something for everyone and not overpriced. Highly recommend and will most definitely visit again.

Beautiful spot on the valley of the rocks Excellent food and great atmosphere. Very pleasant staff giving excellent service. A great afternoon out.

Lee Abbey Tea Cottage consistently offers a wonderful selection of cakes, home made soup and various 'things' for tea. It is a beautiful setting which is enhanced by great staff. I think they work for a short time and always offer great service. To sit...

We enjoyed some extraordinary cakes (spinach-hazelnut, lemon-potato,...) and great cream tea! The staff is very friendly and the decoration is like a dream - flowers in teapots and spoons with hearts on it. Wochenende loved it!

The gardens are lovely, and the food was very nice, with spiced buns extremely tasty. Coffee was OK.All in all a bit expensive.

Visit was very disapointing because although the sign said they were 'open' till 5pm they only serve cold drinks after 4.30pm ... I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a 'Tea Cottage' to be serving tea when it's open! Younger members of staff were helpful...

After a long walk, we came across this delightful cafe with sumptuous homemade cakes, scones, biscuits etc ..., incredibly reasonably priced too. The lady serving us was lovely, friendly, polite and very efficient. The gardens were beautiful and dog friendly.

Pit stop on a walk back to Lynton. Beautiful setting friendly staff and excellent menu choice. Sandwich huge and filling. Choice of gluten free cake options. Toilet facilities (good to know if walking).

This is the perfect cafe for a break on the SW coastal path. A lovely garden setting. The staff are friendly and efficient, all volunteers. Nice selection of teas and snacks.

Because it's tucked away on the lee abbey estate on a half term weekend in June, there were extensive delays in waiting for credit card transactions to be processed. But it was a nice day and in no hurry. Lunch was a cup of delicious...

A lovely place to have a short break as you walk along the Devon coast line. An amazing location and fine food.

Ran by members of the Lee Abbey Christian Fellowship. Located within the grounds of the Abbey close to their beach. Tables arranged in private groupings some with good views over the sea. Service is excellent and the homemade cakes and scones delicious. Can recommend

Stopped here after a long walk. The perfect place to relax. It has a beautiful garden with places to sit in the sun or shade and only a 2 min walk to the beach. They even do a take away if you prefer to eat...

Visiting the tea cottage when visiting Lee Bay is a must. Cream tea is the best in the area with fresh scones. Sit back and enjoy the tea, while savouring the Exmoor countryside.

We walked from Lynton and this gives a good day out along with the beach nearby. Service was very friendly and effective. Our table was very wobbly and we did worry about our refreshments becoming earthbound. Perhaps we should just have chosen a better table,...

Great little place. Came in here by chance and we were greeted by very friendly staff. Sadly we could not sit in the beautiful garden as it was pouring with rain but the inside was just as sweet. Lovely little hideaway for a light lunch.

We went to the tea room after a day on the beach. There is a reasonable range of food available and is excellent value, and all made locally on the estate, where possible. The staff are volunteers from the Lee Abbey Community and are all...

Good stop off point on the coast path, or just before the Valley of the Rocks . Just up from a little beach too.

Great cakes, nice coffee and tea - and in probably one of the most beautiful settings you could imagine for a cafe. On a sunny day, to sit in a perfect English country garden and be served tea and scones - well, it doesn't really get better than that...

This was set in a wooded valley above the bay in lovely garden with tables set under trees, each with fresh garden flowers on the tables. The cakes were homemade and delicious. The tea and milk provided was generous so you could really enjoy a drink. Served with bone china tea cups.Parking for disabled is very near but the path is naturally steep and narrow so you need to be strong to push uphill. There were however two small tables near the gate.Toilets just outside the gardens.
