Linden Hey Garden Tea Room in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

I cannot rate this tea room highly enough. We received a very warm welcome and settled on a cream tea. The scones were warm and there was plentiful cream and homemade jam. Delicious! They support the local community bus so I’d encourage you to buy a book from the second hand book shelf in the tea room.

Lovely tearoom with very welcoming owners/staff. Food was delicious, service was swift and setting was pretty. We purchased their home made jam - at just £1.50 a jar it's a real bargain.

What a wonderful find!Cheerful Spring bulbs in pots by the entrance, very welcoming, efficient and friendly staff, and a tasty and well-presented lunch. Tea and delicious Hevva fruitcake afterwards for my husband, and a lovely warm scone with cream and exceptionally delicious plum jam for me. We were very impressed by how the staff treated all customers, and in particular the several elderly ones who were there on our visit. They were kind, helpful and gentle. Will definitely visit again - fitted in very well with a trip to Burncoose Garden and nursery.

Excellent experience. Tea, Coffee, Sandwiches, cream scones all first class. Lovely couple Nina and David , made us all very welcome in a superb garden setting. Highly recommended.

Excellent service, friendly staff, quick service, cosy, wide selection of delicious homemade cakes and a homely atmosphere. Definitely recommend

A friend and I often visit this little tea room. The staff are absolutely lovely, the food is delicious, and s big plus for us is that its dog friendly. The cream teas they do here are absolutely delicious 😋 one of the best I’ve tasted. The whole place is just lovely and peaceful! See you again soon!

Fantastic sandwiches, cakes and afternoon tea. Attentive service and old fashioned great hospitality. Keep up the good work ladies!

Wife & I called in by chance and found an absolute gem. It was buzzing with, we think, a walking group. The tea rooms are full of character, must be experienced. Coffee & cake was the order of the day. Chocolate sponge & clotted cream with decaf cappuccino made with oat milk, plus an American with Hevva cake (superb). Could not resist purchasing Kea plum jam. Everything appears to be home made. Excellent quality served by lovely, very helpful, staff. A must visit.

Delightful gem of a place. Enjoyed the Linden Hey cream tea. Fresh warm scones with generous amounts of Cornish cream and jam. Tranquil setting and very friendly staff. Couldn’t have chosen a nicer place to enjoy an afternoon tea. Excellent value and quality.

Signs at the side of the route to Trelissick Gardens tempted us to visit and we discovered a lovely tea room in a tranquil garden with a friendly welcome…. We had a wonderful cream tea, beautifully served in an old fashioned china teaset. Scones and both our different teas were delicious! We shall definitely return and sample some of the tasty looking cakes and sandwiches.

Just as a tea room should be. Lovely China and delicious freshly prepared food in a gorgeous garden setting with friendly helpful service. A gem of a place

Fantastic hospitality, amazing food great find. Would highly recommend, we will certainly be revisiting.

Our first visit to this lovely tea room. Gorgeous coffee and cake in beautiful gardens. Nina and Olivia very welcoming hosts.

The best cream teas and such generous sandwich fillings with AGA Ham and beautifully presented. I requested a gluten free cream tea and I have not tasted a better gluten free scone than the ones at Linden Hay! The customer service was faultless and they could have not catered any better for us. 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ the team were friendly jolly, very prompt service even when they were busy and catered to our every need. Booking advised as it can get busy! It has a garden so would be lovely in the summer months too. Beautiful fresh flowers on each table and an incredible collection of tea pots used for our tea! A good selection of fresh cakes and staff clued up on different dietary requirements. There is around 5 parking spaces down by the tea room and a long stretch of spaces near the road. Disabled access. We will be returning, Thank you to all the team at Linden Hay!

Really friendly staff made us welcome, even though we were a large group dropping in for coffee and cake late in the morning. The fruit cake, Bakewell tart and cheese scones were all declared as delicious. The children chose ice creams, sparkling drinks and a ‘ chewy macaroon’. Will definitely return.

The cream tea was delicious, endless jam and cream, with extremely friendly staff. By far the best cream tea I've had, ever.

We were a group of walkers on a very hot day. We were greeted by a very friendly waitress and brought a huge jug of water immediately, which after our walk was very much appreciated. Lovely food in a delightful setting. Thank you.

This was our first visit since COVID lockdown, prior to that we had visited before and thought that it was just the best Cornish Cream Tea ever. We introduce our cousins to Linden Hey, the four of us including one Coeliac ordered traditional cream teas,...

If not the best, one of the best team rooms in Cornwall. Seating is available inside and out (mostly under cover outside). Well-behaved dogs are welcome. It's well worth a detour from the A39 or a stop on the way to or from Trelissick Gardens...

I great big thank you for accommodating 14 damp Lycra clad ladies and reviving them with gorgeous teas, coffee, scones, sarnies and of course cake! See you again ❤️

Lovely choice of homemade cakes and scones served on traditional China; makes it feel like you have gone to a tea party in someone's garden. Parking is limited/tight so we parked on the road side. Overall great service and slightly different to a normal cafe

The walkers have been here before ,but it was my first visit . Exceptionally nice people,invited into their extended garden Room ,wonderfully clean ,with bone china table wear . Lovely menu ,nicely prepared and served with a smile. There's a book table for you to...

This is such a lovely tearoom, very friendly and helpful staff who made us feel very welcome including our dog. The sandwiches were fabulous and the cakes and scones excellent. Definitely recommend a visit

With limited parking, we parked on an adjacent side road. We were greeted warmly and chose one of the many outside tables with comfortable garden seats. We shared an enjoyable cream tea and coke for £10.50, a little expensive we felt for the location. The...

Having had difficulty finding an eating place after visiting Trelissick Garden, we landed on this hidden gem. Tucked away is a converted private house together with two semi permanent marquees and gardens where home made sandwiches, soups, cakes., of very high quality are served. The...

5* Fantastic Cornish Cream Tea, Our second year back to Linden Hey and it didn’t disappoint, the gluten free scones were light, warm and came with lashings of strawberry jam and Cornish cream. The hot chocolate drinks came with whipped cream and marshmallow sprinkles “proper...

A little unusual with quirky tea pots and a marquee in the garden but really tasty bakewell tart and a second hand book stand too.

Enjoyed a delicious chicken and ham casserole lunch in Nina's cosy garden marquee today. Despite the damp and gloomy weather, there is always a warm welcome here.

What a delightful tearoom this is. Very friendly and helpful staff serving a limited selection of light lunches and an excellent afternoon tea menu. Certainly worth a visit

We needed some where to meet up with family to have afternoon tea. Due to the fact we have 2 dogs we also needed to be outside. The tea gardens are set back off tne road with a large marque sheltering from the weather, the...

Always a pleasure to visit,, lovely staff and quick service ,,, we sometimes book for wi group coffee morning and are always made very welcome

We had coffee and cake only, the menu is limited, cakes are good but nothing outstanding, the setting is cozy and warm with very friendly staff. It is more suited to elderly having tea's and scones. Pleasant enough but nothing as outstanding as the reviews...
