Sweet Cottage Tea Rooms in Rushcliffe

Visited today with my mother and mother in law for the first time, we will be returning, made to feel so welcome by the lovely lady Rona, food was wonderful, we loved the surroundings, Thank You very much

Stumbled across this little hideaway whilst searching on Google maps for coffee. Wonderful place with excellent food and service. We ordered sandwiches with the idea of having a piece of cake or a clotted cream scone afterwards. Couldn't manage another mouthful afterwards so guess we'll have to go back again. Well worth the visit.

Fabulous visit to the sweet cottage. Lovely and friendly owner, made us feel welcome. Scones were very very good!

Wonderful afternoon tea with friends, great value, lovely service and fantastic setting. We really enjoyed the afternoon thank you for having us.

This tiny sweet shop come tea shop has very few tables so we booked and were seated upstairs surrounded by wartime memorabilia right down to the taped windows. Hearty sandwiches, scones with a choice a jams and delicious home made cakes. We were even provided with cake boxes to take home what we could not eat. One tiny criticism is the lack of a coffee pot for the none tea drinker. The coffee drinker always seems to lose out with afternoon teas. A most enjoyable afternoon.

We had huge delicious doorstep sandwiches followed by fantastic homemade cakes, we were even asked what cakes we liked/ didn’t like so we didn’t end up with anything we didn’t like. This really is a must visit, only a few tables so if you are going for afternoon tea it’s worth booking

Well what a lovely little place to have a bite to eat ,it was the first time we visited the Tearooms ,and I was impressed at the detail in the décor ,off the 1940s theme which was upstairs in a cosy little room ,they even had music from the 1940s,and the sounds off bombing raids what happened in the war which was very good , impressed.when we entered the Tearooms she was very polite and she was helpfull while we was there ,and was very friendly as well in deciding what to eat . Nar then let's get down to the nitty gritty about the food in question,well for starters we had the soup which was good with two slabs off brown bread ,ooohh yess good stuff indeed, it was carrot and corrender . Nice and hot ,and tasty,and for mains we had sandwiches with crisps and salad, she advised to have one portion because it would be enough for us ,and she was right ,there was other fillings to choose from ,the sandwiches where like doorsteps, impressed. Nar for afters we had the scones, these scones at not normal scones they are BIG normal scones,I had the ginger scones ,never had ginger ones before but they was very nice ,nice hint off ginger with little bits in as well,with jam and cream . And off course you get a good pot off tea to wash it down with. We live abart 60 miles away ,but next time we are in the area we will visit sweet cottage Tearooms again. So get thee Sen darn and have Sarny or two and enjoy. A'll see thee.

Had a great afternoon having lunch with a friend in Sweet Cottage Tea Rooms. The food was excellent and freshly made (a panini and baked potato) and the cakes were delicious. The service was attentive without being intrusive. We spent over 2 hours there having a relaxing lunch and were treated like royalty. We loved the 40s theme of the tea room and the music playing. A really friendly tea room and one which I will definitely return to.

Lovely place for afternoon tea, sandwiches and cakes are beautiful. You get that much, we had to take cakes home. Been a couple of times now, upstairs. We're it is done out to a 40 s room. Always made to feel welcome. Rona is a lovely host. Would highly recommend a visit

What a little gem this place is. Gorgeous sandwiches, amazing scones and incredible cakes served by wonderful people. Couldn’t be better. If you’re in and around Nottingham make a trip to visit - you won’t be disappointed. Worth booking though - only a few tables and it’s (understandably) very popular. 1940s room upstairs is lovely with lots of memorabilia and 1940s music placing. Love it - will be back very soon!

Very friendly service..food good and cheap. Nice selection of cakes and savoury. I had a toasted sandwich...very nice

This place is a littlr gem for yummy home made cakes, scones et al thru the year plus farm-produced ice creams and traditional sweets. Splendid 1940's decor and memorabilia, tiny table with flower pot outside to take yr ease, ground floor counter and seating, bigger room upstairs and sunny proprietors. Go search it out Just up the hill from Cropwell/Main Road crossroads.

This place is worth a visit if you're in the area. It's a tiny cottage on the main road selling normal tea room fare plus sweets in jars & ice creams. Upstairs has a lovely 1940s parlour which feels like the real deal. I've only ever had tea & cake here but it has always been spot on. I nearly forgot Rona! What a lovely warm lady she is, so friendly & welcoming. My friend & I don't live locally so can't visit that often, but she always remembers us & greets us like old friends.

We pre booked an afternoon tea for two. Rona reserved a table for us upstairs in the 1940s decorated room. She was very welcoming and friendly. We were shown a selection of freshly baked cakes all that looked and sounded delicious. We made our way upstairs and Rona came up and asked what tea we would like, a fruit or a plain scone and also what topping to go with the clotted cream. We were served a big pot of tea and shortly after our food arrived. All was very well presented and tasted amazing. I would fully recommend a visit here.

A 1940's themed tea rooms just outside the village centre but well worth the effort to visit if only to experience the afternoon teas which the proprietress prepares herself. As well as the scones there is usually a selection of cakes and flapjack often with a white and brown chocolate topping, rocky road and date slices. Various sandwiches are available made to order. Panini are also made to order so everything is a fresh as can be. There are various confectionery sold by the weight as well as Thaymar's Ice Cream (various flavours) locally made in Nottinghamshire. Also sells Piper's Crisps from North Lincolnshire, again various flavours, which I think are some of the best crisps available. Very friendly atmosphere. Most seats are upstairs but there are a couple of tables on ground floor if you are disabled. Small premises but cosy.

Delicious! Beautiful tasting sandwiches with thick, soft bread. Big, soft scones, fresh tasty cakes, a choice of teas and preserves. Excellent service and so friendly. Loved the tea room and all its decoration. Thank you, I can't wait to go back already! :)

Made 2 visits here to break longish journey Yorks to Leics. Firstly for coffee on way down and then for a late lunch on way back. Both were really pleasant experiences, nice quality food and drink at very reasonable prices. The lady owner is very friendly and the upstairs 40s room is tastefully decorated with music available if required. Recommended

What a great place to go for afternoon tea.

Our granddaughter bought us a Groupon voucher for Christmas which we used on my 70th birthday in March. The afternoon tea was excellent & the service first class. The premises are small but this adds to the atmosphere and as a 1940's fan we enjoyed the decor.

Encouraged by the earlier reviews (and by some beautiful Spring weather), we decided to take a trip to Sweet Cottage Tea Rooms. Having booked a table in the Upper Room for a light lunch, we arrived just before 1:00 pm and were warmly greeted and escorted to one of the two tables in what at one time would have been the bedroom of this traditional cottage.

Great little cafe, with lovely 1940s themed room upstairs with music/memorabilia... great loose leaf tea, and some of the best fruit scones I have ever had! And plenty of propper clotted cream and conserve. Couldn't fault it!

Situated just off the A52 on the main street through Radcliffe this delightful Tea rooms is a great find and very welcoming by its lady owner. Themed on the 1940’s the upstairs room is kitted out with items from this era, first time I’ve seen a ration book and ID card. A great place with freshly made cakes and sweets a plenty. Recommended by me and the other half.

We had the groupon 40s cream tea as a Christmas gift. We combined this with sandwiches, soup and paninis. The food was freshly made on site to order and was very tasty. This is a small tea shop and the owner is very attentive. The food good and the cream tea delicious.

Very small space downstairs space at this coffee shop. Upstairs small room which is decorated with 40s theme. Which I admit does not really do it for me. Coffee nice, very friendly lady serving and cake looked homemade. They also sell loose sweets.

Dropped in for cream tea, the best ever.

We had delicious home made scones. And Rhona the owner was very nice and friendly, the tearoom was very interesting with a 40s theme

Visited Saturday afternoon after shopping in Nottingham. Lovely little tea shop with an amazing upstairs room with a great 1940's atmosphere. Loved our scones with choice of toppings and proper tea. Really friendly couple who own the business, really made us welcome. Many thanks and we will definately return.

Went one Saturday with wife and daughter for tea and scones. 40s decor is great and reminded me of going to my grans house (in a good way!). Very small, but that didn't take away from experience. Scones were lovely (I had one with syrup and cream, yum). Staff also really friendly.

Absolutely delicious scones :) loose tea was lovely no tea bags in sight :))) very friendly staff :) would totally recommend this tea room :) and will definitely return :) Thank u

Went Saturday afternoon we and my husband had cream tea the service was very good the owners are very friendly will be going again soon

Booked this tearoom through groupon quick and easy when we got there, was such a lovely atmosphere& the owner was very welcoming.The tea and scones were to die for! Will definitely recommend and 100% coming back

Such a lovely welcoming tea rooms, the food is lovely and the service excellent, my teenage daughter was in her element as she loves the 40's era, will definitely return even though it's a 40 minute drive away.

Cosy and bijou. Excellent and friendly service, offer to top up teapots and good choice of teas and toppings (not just strawberry jam). Very helpful owner Rona. Easy to park.

We had an excellent afternoon tea here, the sandwiches were very tasty, and the fruit scones were scumptious. The coffee was excellent and tasted great. The owner was very nice and pleassant to talk to, and the shop was quite busy.

Was walking past and saw the most amazing cakes in the window. Walked on but it was too tempting so I went back. It was more than worth it. Delicious, succulent, and good sized portions. Don't walk by....

You will not be disappointed. My friend and I popped into the Sweet Cottage Tea room on our recent trip nto the wonderfuly friendly village of Radcliffe on Trent.
