The best afternoon tea around. Lovely staff, gorgeous afternoon tea and somewhere we can’t wait to come back to. The variety of sandwiches, jams, and cakes is next level! It was perfect!

Amazing! Wonderful friendly staff. Brilliant food set in a quaint village. Attention to detail is superb. Food quality goes beyond what you'd expect. For instance, adding fruit and asparagus to the salad. You wouldn't notice it was missing if they didn't add these little extras, but in doing so, it elevates the dish to a culinary experience rather than just a lunch giving it that special edge. We shared some of our plate with our children, staff were more than happy to provide sharing plates. It's also dog friendly. Perfect tea room 👍

Five stars? A mistake, surely. Ten for this traditional tea room recommended in the Daily Telegraph "Cream tea on Dartmoor" in the Travel section featuring 50 locations in the UK for traditional British food. A warm greeting and engaging waitress. A proper cream tea with proper strawberry jam containing whole strawberries. Both clotted cream and jam served in individual dishes, not ghastly plastic containers. Set in the picturesque village of Lustleigh which is also blessed with a wonderful pub.🇬🇧🇳🇿

Wonderful as usual on a summer's day. Tea and scones brilliant. But china tea pots and cups no longer allowed outside. Not sure why this is - health and safety? or theft?

Probably the best tea room in the world! We had the full afternoon tea with delicious finger sandwiches, light as a feather scones with masses of cream and a choice of different jams, and slices of yummy homemade cake chosen from an amazing selection. All washed down with real leaf tea served in pretty teapots. And to top it all the staff were really lovely, and gave our dog some treats so she didn’t feel left out! Lustleigh is a very pretty village to explore, even in the pouring rain, and provided an excuse to walk off our self inflicted sugar coma afterwards. Just fabulous!

This tearoom is an absolute delight. The food is delicious The portions are very generous and the service is super friendly. The scones and cakes are perfection and the clotted cream and local Jams are scrumptious. The decor is just delightful. You will not be disappointed.

Found this little gem via google maps when looking for a cream tea. Off the beaten track in a quaint little village called Lustleigh. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. It was made clear that if eating outside it was served as a takeaway in cardboard boxes so we elected to sit inside with our two dogs who were welcomed. Given the fragility of the china cups I can understand why they wouldn’t be used outside :-) The cream tea was delicious and I bought an additional cheese scone to takeout with a pot of jam. Will definitely be returning. Thank you.

We found Primrose Tearooms by chance and thank goodness we did as it was possibly the best lunch we've ever had. The garden is beautifully kept and a lovely place to have lunch. All the food was amazing, including the quiche, sandwiches, scones and cakes, and the salad was the most interesting and varied we've seen. The staff were all very nice and even the toilets are lovely! If you're ever near this place you will not regret trying it.

Our first visit to the Primrose Tea Rooms in this beautiful village, full of thatched cottages. We wandered round the pretty garden first of all, but decided to sample something from the menu, inside. We chose to eat an egg mayonnaise sandwich with bacon, and were amazed when it arrived. The accompanying salad contained at least twelve different items of fruit, veg, and salads. It was delicious. The lady who served our food , and coffee was so friendly, and was willing to chat to us about the cafe, food, and the village in general, and we all enjoyed our visit.

The garden is delightful and food is good, but you are only offered a takeaway menu in the garden with limited choice. It comes in brown cardboard packaging and paper cups. You are given a buzzer and have to fetch it yourself. This experience doesn't match the delightful setting.

We visited Primrose this afternoon for afternoon tea. Upon arrival we felt ignored & when we initiated conversation the lady was extremely rude & not at all welcoming, telling us to wait outside in a rude manner as no tables available inside. We decided to go into the garden area & were further disappointed to not only have to go and get our own order, like some second rate service sector, but to fund everything was in paper cups, boxes & cutlery as apposed to the very beautiful tea services presented inside. It was a very poor experience & while the setting was absolutely gorgeous the staff along with the poor garden experience certainly spoilt the afternoon tea. I would urge the owners to consider the points above so that the outside setting reflects the inside setting which currently is a million miles apart.

Ordered a takeaway drink and sandwich, was given a pager that buzzed when food was ready.

I would have rated this higher because it's situation is fabulous, garden lovely and good coffee. However, if you choose to sit in these lovely surroundings the full menu is not served and your food n drinks are presented in takeaway cups and cardboard boxes with wooden knives and forks. I'm afraid I'm a fan of crockery and cutlery. I would say though, the location means I would go back for coffee.

Beware, they are open from Thursday to Sunday only. Enjoy it as much as we did.
