Little Cottage Tea Room and Gardens in Lewes

Stopped off for a late lunch here on Bank hol Monday, before taking the lovely if rather steep walk up Mt Caburn (footpath access for which is opposite). What a find. We had a table in the attractive garden and I had an individual small quiche with salad and my husband had the soup of the day (carrot ad roasted pepper I think), both of which were really tasty. Then we shared a plain scone (fruit also available) with clotted cream and jam. Excellent textured fresh scone. We hope to return soon to sample the cakes - they had 5 or 6 to choose from. The full afternoon teas with a selection of little cut sandwiches which were presented on cake stands looked beautiful too. Staff were friendly and helpful despite being busy.

This is a wonderfully idyllic spot, quintessential English garden and tea room, absolutely gorgeous. The afternoon tea was served on beautiful Alice in Wonderland crockery. There was a vegetarian option and dogs were allowed in the garden at least. The food was mixed in quality. The scones and the cheese and pickle sandwiches were totally delicious, but 2 out of 3 of the cakes were dry and the humous sandwiches had no hummous in them. The service was mind bogglingly slow - after a prompt, we got our afternoon tea 50 minutes after arriving, and the extra milk and dog water requested never came. It also seems over-priced. Once you factor in the mandatory service charge, it's around £25 per person for a cup of tea, slice of cake, scone and a few sandwiches - which seems a lot.

Had afternoon cream tea, very good experience, very small tea rooms not sure what would have happened if it had rained hard only small inside area, but the outside garden is with nice, the cream tea was very good and plenty of it served on lovely china. The staff were very helpful and we didn't have to wait long for our food to come. The only slight issue is the parking very little directly outside shop have to park around corner in village car park but not much of a problem as nice walk through pretty village.

My husband and I visited the tea shop for an afternoon tea on a beautiful sunny afternoon so we were able to sit outside in the lovely gardens. We were warmly welcomed and showed to a very pretty table laid with a white tablecloth and chive tea set. The service was very quick and very friendly and professional. We had pre booked an afternoon and were offered a choice of teas and cakes. The food was delicious - the scones were amazing, and the cakes were so moist and tasty. It was such a lovely afternoon - in a really wonderful setting. I would definitely recommend a visit x

Stopped off for a coffee and cake today. Service was very slow despite the place being nearly empty. Cake portions were very small and the cake was dry and not particularly pleasant. Nearly £17 for two coffees and two tiny slices of cake is a joke ….. we won’t be coming back.

Gorgeous garden setting, but very over priced afternoon tea at £20 for 4 basic finger sandwiches, a scone, small slice of dry cake, cold tea (served too early). 45 minute wait for food, even with prebooking. Cakes not baked on site.

A family member had given us a gift card for Afternoon Tea and I chose Little cottage Tea room as the reviews were good, it looks pretty in the photos and there's some lovely countryside for a walk nearby. Sadly, the weather was not on our side so, although we were able to have a short walk in the immediate vicinity, we decided against the longer walk we'd planned . However, everything else about our visit was fantastic. The Tea room is indeed such an attractive place and our afternoon tea was a delicious feast: four varieties of little sandwiches, scones with cream & jam and a large slice of cake (from a choice) each, plus coffee as we don't drink tea - all served on pretty crockery. The inside is quite small with limited seating , but outside is the most delightful garden overlooking the countryside and with lots of tables. I only saw this briefly when I went to the toilet, but I can imagine it would be love to enjoy tea outside in such an environment. The owner is welcoming and friendly and really does provide a wonderful experience. We definitely plan to return in better weather when we can have a good walk and then reward ourselves with afternoon tea in the garden!

Rather disappointing and very over priced at £20 for a round of sandwiches, scone and slice of cake. Oh and a pot of tea. If you wanted coffee you had to pay extra! Received as a gift and although it was ok and a pleasant garden to sit in I would not return.

Visited this delightful place today for lunch. I wanted to take my friend to somewhere special and it certainly was. Placed under a beautiful silver birch tree, comfortable seats . My friend kept thanking me. Service was excellent, and professional by a friendly young man. Food was beautifully presented and very tasty even though only a melt sandwich. Will definitely do this again. And again.

From the outside it looks like a very small cottage with about enough room inside for two tables but, walk through into the garden and it stretches back as far as you can see with tables and parasols spread around. Service was good and the food excellent. We only pipped in for a quick drink and a cake and ended up having afternoon tea with scones, strawberry jam and fresh clotted cream, Very nice and all at a very reasonable price. Its a popular place and would recommend booking before visiting. Looking at other tables the full Afternoon tea package looked amazing and enough food to ensure you did not leave hungry. Will be back.

Went there for afternoon set tea. Absolutely delicious, lovely place, polite & friendly atmosphere, very helpful & professional staff. Will definitely return to great place hidden away Sussex countryside

Great setting; lovely garden; food looked superb. Unfortunately, our experience voucher (sparkling cream tea) was not being accepted on a bank holiday so, despite an advanced booking, we could not be served.

My first visit with a friend was perfect. Beautiful setting, lovely afternoon tea, pretty china and friendly staff. I will definitely be back.

Having missed out on a special birthday during lockdown I was hoping that Jo and her team would pull out all stops for my amazing wife. Beautiful garden, delightful ambience, exquisite feast. Thankyou all for making our day.

I had a significant birthday pending so was wondering how to mark the occasion. All of my women friends enjoy tea & cake so I searched East Sussex for a suitable venue for a Prosecco Afternoon Tea. The Little Cottage Tea Room seemed a possibility so I visited & spoke with Jo, the proprietor, to see what could be organised for ten of us plus two under fours. Jo was so lovely & the Afternoon Tea with a glass of Prosecco each was really reasonable. On the day I greeted my friends outside then Jo showed us all to our table. The garden was really pretty but we were lead right to the bottom of the garden into a separate, more private area. The large table was laid out with vintage, embroidered, white lace tablecloths & matching vintage porcelain china cups, saucers & plates with silver cake slices. There were flowers on the table & a large white umbrella shading us from the afternoon sun. There was a separate table laid out with champagne flutes. Jo asked if we preferred fruit or plain scones then filled our glasses, while the two girls who were serving brought large pots of tea, with milk jugs. All three then brought down the most gorgeous Afternoon Tea-a variety of small finger sandwiches, scones with separate pots of strawberry jam & clotted cream then the most delicious selection of locally-made cakes-absolute heaven. One of the cakes had candles & Jo got everyone singing Happy Birthday, it was just lovely. The two children were able to get up & down at will as we were so separate to the (busy) rest of the garden so we didn’t have to worry about them. My celebration more than exceeded my expectations & I would thoroughly recommend Jo & her team wholeheartedly. Nothing was too much trouble, the food was gorgeous & myself & my friends & family had an absolutely wonderful time. Thank you Jo

I had never been to Glynde before, it is a beautiful little place. The tea rooms has a surprisingly large garden at the rear. We both enjoyed their scones with a glass of bubbly.

We got engaged during the dreaded COVID pandemic in August 2019 and after making the initial decisions about the ceremony venue and numbers of guests (or so we thought!) we contacted Jo to enquire about having an intimate reception for about 12 - 15 guests,...

Very enjoyable afternoon tea, would recommend, relaxed atmosphere and friendly owner who was very attentive to us during our visit.

We took advantage of this tea room opening for August as soon as we could as I love this place. Enjoyed an excellent full cream tea in the lovely surroundings, with well spaced tables. You need to book if you want to go.

Lovely quaint village and tearoom with sensible prices. Very friendly and accommodating, they even made different sandwiches for our fussy eaters which were different to the normal ideas - so I will try them at home! It was busy most of the time we were...

Called in for afternoon tea. Delightful staff, great food and decent prices. Overall an excellent experience. Will call again and would certainly recommend.

We visited The Little Cottage Tea Room for Afternoon Tea to celebrate Christmas. We were warmly welcomed to our beautifully presented table - the tea room's festive decorations were equally lovely. We accepted the mulled wine (rude not to), which was yummy, followed by a...

Such a lovely little tearoom and we were made to feel very welcome. Freshly made sandwiches, beautiful scones and delicious cakes - yum. I will definitely visit again.

What a wonderful quintessential English Tea Room. Had a lovely Cheese Ploughman’s for lunch which was simple, in a very good way, with everything done to perfection. Cream Tea dessert to follow; warm scone, authentic and plentiful cream and jam. Pot of tea served with...

We were lucky to visit on a beautiful summer afternoon. A very nice tea although I personally think two small sconces are nicer than one large one but a minor detail. Would definitely recommend this venue for a nice cream tea or lunch.

I got confused with my tea rooms and realised I had been communicating with the wrong tea room, as this was my second choice, I am so glad I had got the wrong or right tea room!! Very welcoming, engaging & charming tea rooms with...

Visited on a sunny Saturday afternoon to celebrate my daughters 21st Birthday. The communication from the owner whilst arranging was great and she was flexible with my requests which I really;did appreciate. When we arrived everything was set out beautifully and all staff were friendly...

The lady owner was incredibly rude i found her custmer service to be dreadful Very disappointing visit

We had heard about this nice little tea room from friends so decided to go for coffee. The young lady serving and the very pleasant outside seating area made us change our minds and try a light lunch. We had home made quiche and a...

a lovely afternoon tea in a lovely afternoon garden.very well presented and as it was a present it really made the day beautiful. we would recommend this tea garden to anybody

seems to be the only place in the village you can eat and it doesn't take card, but the post office next door gives cash

Beautiful sunny day and a lovely coffee and snack in a beautiful garden- pleasant and efficient staff attentive to all our requests. Delicious looking cakes too so has to be another visit to sample them!

Having spotted this little gem when walking last year, I put it in the memory bank for a treat for another day. We went on bank holiday Monday and had a great little spot in the very pretty garden. The service was cheerful and prompt and the food was delicious! I can’t wait to return and next time book the afternoon tea which looked wonderful! Lovely couple running both the tea rooms and shop.

Found this hidden gem on trip advisor.

Gorgeous gardens at this little tearoom in the Post Office and Shop at Glynde. My husband said it was the best tearoom he'd been to. We did have a bit of a blip however, as I decided to email them and book a table for 4 for afternoon tea, not realising that afternoon tea meant the whole works i.e. sandwiches, selection of cakes, scones, jam and cream at £13.75 per person which they prepare specially in advance. Apparently you can't book if you are having their cream tea or tea and cakes. As it was my husbands birthday and we were going there especially I didn't want to get there and find it full up. However, I now realise that probably isn't a problem as there are lots of tables and chairs in the garden as well as inside although they had said inside was fully booked that day. We had a lovely time under the gazebo with the table laid prettily and luckily the sun come out. Jo the lady I had booked with realised we had made a mistake as we only wanted the cream tea for 3 and cake for one. All the cakes are gluton free and quite delicious.So we will definitely go again but remember not to book!

Found this place through trip advisor and so glad I did. Myself, mum and granny went for a birthday afternoon tea here and can’t stop raving about it. Food was lovely, staff were very friendly and setting is beautiful. Would love to go back

Very friendly host to this really time tearoom with a back garden with tables.

Four of as a a family visited this lovely cottage with a super garden.

Second visit to this lovely tea room. Food was v tasty and served on gorgeous china. The garden with all the flowers and sounds of the birds is just perfect

Friends who live nearby took us for a cream tea here. Even though the tearoom adjoins the combined post office and shop, we might not have noticed the little front door of the tiny cottage was a tearoom if we'd been travelling past. It was a chilly afternoon so we were glad to find seating indoors. There are only 15 seats and we were told that all were filled from mid-morning through lunchtime, but that wouldn't be a problem on a sunny day as there are plenty more tables in the pretty garden out the back.

Doing a walk with friends a number of us descended at 4pm . In spite of overwhelming the little tea room 10 of us were served with all sorts of different teas and cakes very cheerfully in minutes . The homemade cakes were wonderful .The prices very reasonable . A jewel just off the busy A27 and near to Glynde Station . Worth a detour .

Combined with the village post office and local shop you’ll find a tiny but quaint tearoom. It’s like stepping back in time. We received a friendly welcome and the food was good too. My toasted sandwich was accompanied by salad garnish, crisps and a lovely chutney. We didn’t venture to the garden as it was raining, we’ll do that next time. Dogs are welcome. Thoroughly recommend.

Tucked away in the beautiful little village of Glynde, one can enjoy a perfect Afternoon Tea in the quieteness of the garden. Sandwiches, scones and cake were delicious, and the staff very friendly. So I would recommend this little gem without hesitation!

We booked a table for my mums birthday and had a great afternoon, the service and the cakes were amazing. We all had a choice over tea and cake, plus a couple of us were gluten and lactose intolerant and the cakes were still delicious. Great experience would happily go again!

The teenage girl serving was lovely and friendly but the manager/owner seemed unhappy we were there and didn’t look happy every time someone came in. Weird experience.

We booked ahead for a family birthday get together at lunchtime. It's a tiny little tearoom but well laid out and warm. We received a warm welcome and lots of patience whilst we did all the family reunion stuff. They took our tea orders and our cake and scone preferences and left us to get on with the socialising. The tea was hot and plentiful. The sandwiches arrived and were of excellent quality, with generous fillings like thick ham and smoked salmon.

We're given a warm friendly welcome by Joanne the owner. Had a delicious toast sandwich and a lovely selection of home made cakes, settled on a chocolate Turkish delight cake which was lovely. You can access the shop/post office from tea room was has a wide variety of specialised food and beautiful artisan bread all at a reasonable prices..would recommend

We booked last minute for my mum's birthday, and were told they could only fit in a maximum of 4 of us due to being busy, which was perfect as we were 4. When we arrived the staff were friendly, the table was all laid up ready and it looked really pretty. Our waitress took drinks orders almost right away and explained how the cream tea worked, and rapidly brought out our orders. The scones and sandwiches were delicious, we found the cakes to be a little too sweet (if that's possible with cake haha), and overly moist, would have liked to have something a little more traditional like a regular sponge cake, at least as one of the choices, as the others were strongly flavoured. A minor criticism however as we very much enjoyed our visit.

Fantastic cream tea , one of the best I have had . Service was fantastic, nice to see in this day and age. Well done . defanentley going back again and try more from the menu .

My husband booked this delightful tea gardens for my 70th birthday.

My daughters took me here for a birthday afternoon tea. The garden is very sheltered and tables and chairs spaced out nicely all with parasols.We were made to feel very welcome and the tea itself delicious.We had a selection of finger sandwiches , a very generous slice of cake, from four choices, a huge scone with jam and cream and a selection of teas all very reasonable priced. Booking essential would recommend will be going back soon!

We had a wonderful afternoon tea here my daughter and I. Fantastic atmosphere extremely atentative staff and above all a fantastic afternoon tea one of the best I have ever had. Great surroundings like being transported back with the beautiful china from a bygone era.

Great little village spot for a tea room, brilliant service and food all brought out with a smile.

This is a really nice place with a fantastic garden. The cream tea was very good and the scones were well cooked. A good choice of tea, you should certainly pay this a visit if you are passing through Glynde.

The occasion was a catch up with a friend. We pre booked afternoon tea and we were not disappointed.

The garden is a beautiful, proper English garden, plenty of shade and sun to choose from. The owner is great at making cakes, so much choice and all very tempting. Nice coffee, selection of teas and something for everyone. Excellent service and very good value for money. The post office / shop next door has lots of lovely gifty / goody bits and sells delicious bread too.

Superb on a sunny day, especially if you sit under a tree. Plenty of choice. Scones, well I have had better. However lemon drizzle cake superb. Nice tea, attentive service. It seems nothing is too much trouble.

A must for the quintessential afternoon tea experience. Beautiful surroundings in the village of Glynde both indoors and outside in the garden. Silver teapots and fine bone china enhance the experience alongside delicious scones, cream and jam .... and there is also a selection of tasty cakes! A wonderful way to spend the afternoon with friends!

Fabulous afternoon tea on a beautiful sunny afternoon. Cakes, scones & sandwiches all delicious, really friendly and helpful staff...thoroughly enjoyable set in a pretty English country garden. Nothing was too much trouble... Totally recommended 🍰☕️

What could be better than enjoying a lovely afternoon tea in a beautiful garden or a sunny day, lovely welcome and friendly service, scones were very moist and tasty, lots of tea and water aswell, would highly recommend a visit here.

Celebrated my forthcoming wedding here today for my hen do. Couldn’t fault the place. Gorgeous setting, plenty of shade in the garden, delicious afternoon tea and plenty of tea. The scones were amazing, but then so were the cakes and finger sandwiches. Thank you so much to everyone.

If you're in the neighbourhood, walking the Sussex downs, then make sure to set your GPS to have a rest stop here.

We really enjoyed our visit to this beautiful tea room. The staff were so friendly and we had a lovely Cream Tea in the pretty garden. This was our first visit and we'll definitely be returning. Thank you.

Where could you go for tea after a walk to Mount Caburn? Well this tea room of course! A lovely picturesque garden with birds tweeting. A friendly welcome and deserved tea with delicious Elderflower and lemon sponge. What could be better. In fact so good I had to take my wife a couple of days later to sample and she agreed it was a perfect setting. Highly recommended.

Such a lovely place, beautiful garden, great scenery and lovely family staff!

The sweetest little tea room in the most beautiful quiet countryside setting, made even better sitting in the garden in the sunshine. The service was really great, staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was so good, all clearly freshly made with choice of cake to go with sandwiches and scone. Highly recommend.

Called in after a walk from Lewes. Brilliant. Friendly welcome, excellent cake, just loved it and such a nice garden.

Me and my husband went for afternoon tea in this cosy tea room. The lady that runs the tea room is very lovely, she went above and beyond to make our visit perfect. The food was delicious. I had a great selection of vegetarian sandwiches and there was plenty of food. It was a cold day so we was unable to enjoy tea in the beautiful gardens but we will hopefully return on a sunny day. I highly recommend a visit to this little gem, and quaint village.

We have been here a couple of times after walking on the Downs and loved it so much that we took our friends today. It was a busy sunny Sunday afternoon but we were given a lovely warm welcome with apologies that the garden was full! As for the cakes!!...I am vegan and couldn’t believe that not only did a tiny hidden gem like this cater for vegans and gluten free diets, but I had the most delicious vegan chocolate cake I have ever eaten!!! My non-vegan husband enjoyed his cake too, as did our two friends who said it was up there with the best lemon drizzle cake they had had. Also a very impressive large selection of teas, with Redbush, Earl Grey, Assam etc. HIGHLY RECOMMEND - we will be back!

What a lovely time we had. Idyllic location. Beautiful hidden secret. We had the nicest freshly baked cakes and warm scones. Delicious sandwiches and endless tea served in silver tea pots. The owner was so lovely and helpful. Can't wait to go back .

We stopped here after walking over the Downs from Lewes. It was perfect, warm and cozy for after a long walk on a cold clear day. Just what Americans like us imagine a tea room to be like. Although it was late in the day they made us high tea with sandwiches. Everything was fresh and delicious. The service was friendly. Also worth a stop is the little shop adjacent where we bought a locally made bread and some jams. If we are in Glynde again we will stop back here for sure. The cakes looked fabulous so we have to go back to try them.

Popped in on a whim after a walk up Mt Caburn and back. Really though, they were the best scones. The lady running the tea shop was lovely and on top of things despite it being unexpectedly busy for November.

Hiding in a tiny village just a few miles from Brighton is this quaint tea shop, post-office and store. The owners, Jo and Steve are lovely. Warm, Northern friendliness, fresh produce and nothing is too much trouble. Sensational locally roasted coffee and amazing Flint Owl bread, freshly baked just a 100 yards from the shop! We browsed in the post-office / shop whilst we were waiting for our meal, and ended up with a box of goodies, including 2 bottles of wine, a fresh sourdough loaf and some Dorset Ginger cookies. Very happy bunnies. Wishing Jo and Steve every success in Glynde.

5 of us visited here on a lovely Sunday afternoon. We were on my hen weekend and this was 1 of the things planned by my hens. It is located in a small quiet village and we were the only customers apart from a couple sat in the garden. We each received a selection of sandwiches a large scone with jam and cream and a slice of cake each plus unlimited tea. It was very lovely and great quality for the price, the lady and her son were very friendly and offered to wrap up our left over cake we couldn’t finish. Would definitely recommend

Stopped here for a pot of tea whilst walking the South Downs. Was impressed by the look of the cakes including several gluten free options. Unfortunately had already eaten earlier. The owner was a lovely friendly lady who took the time to talk to us about our trip. It has a nice garden too.

I booked afternoon tea for myself and my mum, we are vegetarian and she is gluten free but this didn't cause any problems. The lovely owners were happy to accommodate and made us lovely sandwiches. The food was great, (fab cakes) the setting is tranquil and beautiful and the crockery and tableclothes make it feel very special. The service was outstanding, we were made to feel special, nothing was too much trouble and they were so friendly. Small extra touches like an extra pot of water and offers of extra tea make a real difference. Would recommend without hesitation and will definitely be going back. :-)

My husband and I went out for a ride on our motorbike one sunny Sunday afternoon and having heard about the tea room from a work colleague. We were made to feel very welcome by the owner, Jo, and were seated promptly and left to peruse the menu, offered a range of teas whilst we decided what to eat. The scones are a meal in themselves! Delicious afternoon tea in a lovely sunny garden with great views. I will be back with my mum because she will love it. A real gem in a picturesque vilage.

What a lovely tea room! We have come here several times and the food, scones and cakes have always been to an excellent quality.

Our first visit this season and disappointing to find no more tea cosies or dog treats. The tea cosies added to the character (love them or hate them) and our guest especially was rather disappointed by their demise. Dogs and their humans are still made very welcome though and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit (cream teas in the garden, no rush to finish). Great to find that the loo is suitable for the disabled too.

My parents had a gift voucher from buyagift and this lovely little place was on the list of places you could go. After driving by to see what it looked like, I decided to join them!

We had a wonderful afternoon at the tea rooms for a very sedate hen do. The cakes, scones and sandwiches were all perfectly cooked and very tasty. The selection of cakes was very impressive. The service was fab and nothing was too difficult. The garden is beautiful and we were able to sit outside to enjoy the sunshine. I thoroughly recommend this tea rooms and will be revisiting very soon.

Beautiful setting in the village of Glynde and delightful garden to enjoy tea if the weather is good enough.

Lovely tea rooms in the village of Glynde. Plenty of on street parking. Food is good home cooked food with a great selection of lunches, cakes etc. Service is friendly and efficient. Dog friendly in the gardens.

We literally came across this place by accident after a long walk, going past it at the beginning and just making it in time at the end of the walk, what a beautiful tea room with stunning gardens. Excellent service from friendly staff despite it being very busy on a hit sunny Sunday afternoon, the most amazing selection of cakes and a fabulous afternoon tea menu all round. Can't recommend enough, a real treat and a hidden gem in such a beautiful area.

Popped in here on the off chance and was pleasantly surprised. A lovely cafe, we couldn't sit outside as it was quite busy but the interior was pleasant.

Glynde is a walkers paradise and this is a must to reserve. There are a few tables inside and a beautiful cottage garden at the back. The hostess was super friendly , it felt like a really personal experience ! Everything was great, massive tea with really tasty sandwiches freshly prepared, great hunks of fresh, homemade cake, delicious and we took the cake home as too full ! Cannot recommend this gem highly enough. There is also a Facebook page for area events which may be worth checking as I suspect this tearoom gets very booked up and rightly so !

Me and my friend visited Lewes one Saturday in hopes we would find a lovely tea room for the afternoon. We were disappointed that the majority of them had closed down and the only one we could find were shut for a private function. I searched the web for tea rooms and came across the Little Cottage Tea Room and Gardens. We were delighted at the beautiful quiet location set in Glynde which is a short drive from Lewes. Although it wasn't the warmest day on our trip it was sunny so we sat outside with knitted blankets and had a wonderful afternoon tea for two which comprised of a selection of sandwiches, scones with jam and cream and pots of tea with knitted tea cosies. This is the place to go for an idyllic afternoon tea on a summers day.

We spotted this tea room when driving through Glynde and so glad we did! A small room indoors and a lovely garden outside. Super cream tea on old China plates. There's a mini gypsy caravan as a children's playhouse.

Stopped off here for tea & cake as we had read some great reviews. Not disappointed lovely big pot of tea to share for the two of us & cakes were delicious. We sat inside but garden looked lovely. Will definitely visit again.

I went to this tea rooms on the strength of the many excellent reviews on here, to be honest, I wish I hadn't bothered.

Friendly staff let down by a limited menu. Tea fine (bags but come in pots with proper cups and tea cosies). My cream tea had a scone that had clearly been defrosted from frozen using a microwave. Slightly frozen interior. Companions' reviews were mixed. Cake good but poor choice of hot food. Adequate if you are gasping and in the area, but for now not worth making a special trip to.

Found this place (attached to the village post office) whilst on a circular walk to mount caburn, Stoppped off in in the morning at the post office for a take-away tea and coffee and purchase the best sausage rolls I have ever had. On the way back to the car we stopped off at the tea rooms for a drink. Enchanting a lovely garden and lovely staff.

Glynde is a very pretty village and this tea room located just off the main road through the village is a real find. A good selection of teas, home made cakes is available, but for me the best part is lovely garden at the rear which is so pretty and full of charm. The little shepherds hut is loved by children especially.

What a lovely little tearoom. Came with the family for a treat, and we weren't disappointed. The Glynde high tea was amazing, you got 3 different toppings on open sandwiches on locally made bread, tiffin, macarons, lime and coconut cake, and a huge scone with jam and tonnes of clotted cream! You get a big pot of tea as well rather than just a small pot or cup. The staff and owner are really friendly, welcoming and attentive as well. Would recommend booking as it is limited seating inside, although there is outside seating but was a bit chilly and rainy when we went.

The gardens are very nice and it's a comfortable place to have lunch. The lunch was great - a large portion of delicious homemade salmon flan, a very nice salad and delicious olive bread. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

An impromptu outing from Brighton for lunch, our first visit but we'd heard about this place from friends.

Despite the dismal weather our trip to this lovely English tea shop was well worth the effort. The Glynde afternoon tea is generous and reasonably priced. If you aren't keen on open sandwiches made with artisan bread then you can order traditional finger sandwiches although the former are delicious. The scones are huge! It is easy to find the tea room from the station as it is well signposted. The staff were friendly and helpful. The setting is beautiful but due to the weather we sat inside. Unfortunately we couldn't manage all the cakes but we were able to take them home. This is a little gem of a place and well worth a visit.

if you're looking for a classic English tea room in a beautiful Sussex village, this is the place for you. I visited with my wife, elderly mother and her friend. We were able to park right outside the tea room on our visit. We sat in the lovely cottage garden and had traditional tea, scones and cakes. The tea was particular good, made from local spring water and served in china cups from a teapot with a knitted cosy. The scones and cakes were home made and tasty. Service was friendly and efficient. Glynde is a beautiful Sussex village and the Little Cottage Tea Room and Gardens is a highlight of a visit to the village.

A real find, unless you read about this place you wouldn't really find it . Pick a sunny day and head for the garden. There is a small gypsy caravan for children to play in. The staff are dog lovers. We had clotted cream scones and fresh jam, very yummy in a pretty very typical English setting. Childrens playground next door.

I've been here on a few occasions and it's always excellent. The staff are really friendly and happy to help with anything you ask for. The food is seriously delicious; I've enjoyed breakfast, the Glynde afternoon tea, and a simple coffee and cake (proper coffee in a cafetiere). The garden is a really beautiful place to sit and the village is a lovely walk from Lewes. Generally just a great place!
