The Noss Mayo Tea Garden in South Hams

Such a wonderful experience with tasty food, perfect tea, and a beautiful setting. We had such a lovely time it was idyllic and just the tasty meal we needed after our walk on the Warren. Highly recommended.

We came across this lovely little cafe whilst walking the Noss Mayo/Wembury loop. We had a picnic lunch with us and wanted a coffee to go with it. We went into the cafe and the owner explained she didn't have proper take away cups with lids but could provide plastic cups - this we gladly accepted full of delicious latte (freshly ground beans) which we enjoyed with our sandwiches, sitting by the estuary. The cafe garden has a beautiful view and the food looked very good so next time we won't bother with a picnic and will stop at the cafe for lunch. It is a great pity that the Cafe is not allowed to open weekdays as the only alternative for refreshments are the local pubs.

Lovely friendly owners who make you feel at home. Excellent views and wonderful home made food, definitely recommended.

He visitado hoy, por primera vez, mi familia había sido antes. Me encantó. Estás sentado en el jardín de la familia y hacen sentir tan bienvenidos. Bollos eran deliciosos y nuestra tetera era continuamente repuestos. Mi sobrino y sobrina dieron juguetes para jugar con que pertenecieron a los propietarios niños - toque adorable. Precioso hotel, excelente servicio y hospitalidad, no puedo esperar a volver!

Que estaba buscando un lugar para tomar un té helado en la zona y encontramos este lugar en línea. Hice un hermoso 1. 5 hora a pie del circuito de acantilado (aparcamiento de las pistas de tenis), que terminó con un almuerzo y una merienda en el Jardín de Té Mayo Noss. La comida era casera, sencilla y muy sabrosa. Los propietarios eran increíblemente amable, y que se sentía casi como si me hubiera bajado para té con viejos amigos. Todo rematado con una vista excelente. Altamente recomendado.

Mi compañero y yo estábamos buscando un almuerzo ligero y el Jardín de Té Mayo Noss perfectamente. En un día soleado caliente nos mostraron una mesa con una encantadora vista sobre el agua. Los propietarios eran encantadores, servicial y amable, y pronto un excelente Ensalada griega entregado a nuestra mesa. Sin duda volveremos y decepcionado de que el establecimiento es sólo un jardín de té y no ofrece comidas en el interior.

Dropped into the tea room on Easter Monday and enjoyed a very tasty cream tea plus coffee as well. Very convivial and welcoming host, and the view across to Newton Ferries is unequalled in the South West We've visited before and had a very tasty Niçoise salad; it's a stop you cannot afford to miss, even if you've had a pint in one of the nearby pubs beforehand. Save your appetite for the tea garden!

I rowed ashore from a yacht in Yealm pool in search of milk. I should have gone to the Nexton Ferrers side of Newton Creek but luckily I got it wrong and ended up walking, early one morning, through Noss Mayo. There is no shop there but a couple I met suggested I ask at the, not open yet, tea shop. I did so and Kathryn found me an empty plastic bottle and put about a pint of milk in it for me. We agreed on 50p. We chatted for a while then Kathryn suggested I might like to take the components for a cream tea with me. I promised that we had homemade jam on board and she furnished me with 4 large scones and a pot of Devonshire clotted cream. £5. I returned to the boat with the results of my foraging and we had cream teas on our boat that day and the day after. Lovely. Kathryn made the trip ashore memorable and we've praised her on both the occasions we had the cream tea. Very friendly, I'm sure the tea room is splendid too. Don't tell anyone but we were in Cornwall by the time we ate the cream teas!

The telephone number for the Swan Inn has not been changed, it is still 07152 872333. A handy tip would be to book a table for lunch or dinner to avoid disappointment you will find the staff most helpful and friendly.

On an amble back from Cellars beach on a hot day we popped into this lovely garden and sat in the best seat....large table with an amazing view of the estuary and Newton Ferrers. We oredred 3 cream teas....the tea pot came in it's own wicker padded basket.....lovely.....scones....one small one per person - disappointing....jam and clotted cream ok. we ordered a glass of milk and an extra cup....when the bill came at the end, they asked for the equivalent of 4 cream teas...too much for what we had...dissappointing

Good cake, reasonably priced overlooking great views. The tea garden is open weekends and bank holidays during the summer.

we had a lovely Devon cream tea whilst staying at the owners room on the river. fabulous views , lovely people and delicious cream tea , they also do light lunches , pizza , salad etc. all looked very good. a pretty little place , loved it.

On a walk from Newton Ferrers I just fancied an ice cream and called in with my daughter. They don't advertise ice cream as such, but a bowl of vanilla was no problem. My daughter chose the home-made elderflower cordial, and I had a taste. It was a completely natural flavour, plenty of taste without being overpowering, and was certainly the best I have ever had.

A warm and and friendly welcome from our hosts. The home made soup was amazing and the home made elderflower cordial was spot on after a hard morning's walking. This is proper healthy food in a lovely location - make this a must do stop!

A charming terrace tea garden at the end of a beautiful walk. Lovely cream tea for £4 served in real China cups and a China kettle . Nice touches and really welcoming hosts.

Happened to come across this teagarden after a walk. It appears that it is not often open. Enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea. Dog friendly too!

Lovely visit! Tea served in China cups & teapots (& topped up!).Scones were delicious.As ever, friendly service!Children enjoyed the visit as did the adults!

Spent the afternoon having cream tea with a friend with gorgeous views overlooking the Yealm Estuary. Very friendly and prompt service with homemade scones and jam - that and a pot of tea for only £4! What a perfect spot for a quiet afternoon... Just be warned that sadly they're only open on weekends and bank holidays! Thanks for a lovely visit. ☺️

I visited last year and really enjoyed the cream tea and the great views. The owner was really charming and happy to chat and share tips on where to visit in the area. The menu wasn't huge but how need a massive menu when you offer something for everyone and what I saw other people eating looked lovely. Give it s go, I'm sure you'll enjoy

Stumbled across this lovely little spot whilst out walking. Devon cream tea was very reasonable and tasty!All freshly prepared and in such a lovely setting overlooking the harbour. Downside is the garden could do with a bit of love here and there and .... I bumped my head quite badly on a sharp edge coming out of a shed next to our table when I got up! My fault, but a bit of padding on shed would help avoid future accidents.Love this place though. Will visit again.

Situated at the start (or the end, depending which way round you go!) of a 4-mile circular walk that starts and ends at Noss Mayo, these tea gardens are really worth a visit. The cakes and savouries are all home-made, as are the scones and jam, which together with lovely real tea served in the most exquisite china crockery, make the perfect “Devon cream tea”. The hosts, Kathryn and Andy, are very friendly, and the setting is perfect – a lovely view over the estuary to the church at Newton Ferrers and beyond. Just hope for some lovely sunshine on a weekend or bank holiday, as that, unfortunately, is the only time that it’s open!

Great cream tea in beautiful Chinese crockery. A gluten-free cake option was available which was delicious. A very friendly place with beautiful views.

Have walked past this hidden gem many a time but never ventured in until today. Was pleased to find that they were small dog friendly( as we have one) and seated ourselves outside with a beautiful view over the estuary. Pretty garden- lovely scone- happy people with some local entertainment thrown in. Super end to a great coastal walk!

What a wonderful place to have lunch or afternoon tea !!....the views overlooking the Yealm river are stunning and the food is delicious.....I had a tuna sandwich and my partner and I both had the best cake filed with fresh crèam and fresh strawberries.....I would return to this tea garden again just to have that outstanding cake !!!! It is a shame that due to some problems with planning approval that this tea garden is only allowed to stay open on weekends??.....this is a mystery to me since other eating establishments in Noss Mayo are allowed to be open all week long (Ship Inn)....This place is oozing with charm and has the warmth of staying in someone's private home.....there are not many unique places like this one that delight all of the senses ....we will definitely return !

We found this wonderful little cafe while staying in Noss Mayo;we sat on a beautiful flower filled patio and enjoyed the peace,quiet and the most wonderful pea and ham soup,with home made bread while watching the tide ebb and flow along the estuary.An absolute gem,but sadly only open at the weekend so we'll just have to force ourselves to return today (Sunday)to make the most of the delicious baking-lovely home baked cakes,scones and elderflower cordial.Thank you Kathryn for making us so welcome.

Came across this lovely tea garden whilst walking out of Noss Mayo towards the estuary coast path. The view is pretty near picture-perfect: across to Newton Ferrers and on a summer's day, can't really be beaten anywhere in the countryWe ordered drinks, including a sparkling elderflower and tea, as part of a cream tea in fact, plus a delicious Niçoise salad, and shared both. Just right! Service was friendly and relaxed; it was the prefect impromptu stop-off and so much better than dropping into the pubThoroughly recommended!

The tea gardens are lovely and it was delightful to find beautiful pieces of art created by the owner. The art is made from drift wood and mosaic with a variety of lovely pieces that I would have bought if I could have carried them back to the boat. will be visiting with again as soon as possible

My Wife & I have lived in Newton Abbot (30 miles away) for many years and we are still discovering beauty spots on the spectacular South Devon Coastal Path. Noss Mayo is one of those places you think twice about recommending to anyone, for purely selfish reasons. You really want it to stay as beautiful, relaxed, peaceful and free from traffic noise as possible! We took a lovely circular walk from the Car park in Noss over to Hollicombe, on the Coast path, around Gara Point and up the Yealm estuary back to Noss. As you come in to Noss you will pass the Tea Garden - DON'T! Take time out and just soak up the lovely estuary view while supping delicious coffee and absolutely gorgeous home-made snacks (top-notch chocolate brownie). Kathryn and Andy are lovely hosts and we will certainly make this an essential stopping off place on our next trip to Noss.

le Pub est situé dans le port de ce petit village de pêcheurs (village plutôt chic d'ailleurs)La décoration du pub est très cosy, rempli de clients locaux (beaucoup de citadins de Plymouth). nourriture copieuse et plutôt raffinée poru un pub.Il pleuvait le soir où nous y avons été, mais il y a beaoucp de tables dehors. Le pub doit être encore plus agréables les journées ensolleilées! pensez bien à reserver

Ideally located for walkers in need of some refreshment..... Home made produce to a high standard.. Only open at weekends and bank holidays. Reason for this is that the planners have refused them permission to open in the week!!!!! wake up Devon tourist board and do something about this... The place is a credit to Devon

We stopped at the end of a coastal walk and enjoyed a milkshake and coffee. Really friendly couple, with beautiful views. Will definitely be coming back for lunch!

This is a hidden gem (don't tell anyone), and you will probably need to be at the start or finish of a walk to find it, so you will have earned a treat. And this IS a treat - like being invited into someone's home for a bite to eat and a refreshing drink. In fact, you are not invited INTO the home, as you sit outside (not sure what happens when it is raining) on a raised terrace with lovely views across the river to Newton Ferrers. There is a simple menu, along with chalked-up boards promising various goodies, but it's a case of whatever is available that day is available, and for us it was delicious tuna sandwiches, elderflower cordial, and carrot cake. We'd just returned from a long walk to Wembury on a hot afternoon, and we felt like we deserved a treat - we got one.

We visited this tea garden tempted by the Devon Cream Tea and ended up eating a lot of the menu! We had walked part of the South Coast path and this cafe was at the start of the picturesque Noss Mayo village estuary. Katherine & Andy made us most welcome, we'll be back - plus we bought some craft wears.
