Valley View Cafe in South Hams

Quality place with prices that are very reasonable. Great for Brunch on a Sunday!

Friendly staff and value for money.

Beautiful place to go for breakfast. We love visiting on our day off when we can, and they are always so helpful with my wife's allergy issues.

Best breakfast in South Hams. Enough said.

This is the 2nd time we have visited here and both times service was professional food was plentiful and tasty and added bonus is farm shop next door got 2 beautiful rib eyes cut fresh of a joint and tasted superb no tough gristle and was tender you could of cut with a spoon...would highly recommend

What a great place, we are on holiday in the area and cafe here to buy pumpkins and food supplies. Two families, 9 of us in total all had amazing food at the cafe. Highly recommend.

I challenge you to finish the cream tea. It is huge. M'Sahib took half away in a box - our waitress said it happens all the time. The shop is good and the butchers counter is excellent. Dog friendly too!

The food here is consistently superb. Very high quality ingredients and delicious meals

Really friendly, local meeting place. Home cooked food, plenty of it. Would thoroughly recommend.

Really nice cafe breakfast was superb got there early to beat the queue very popular eatery

Unfortunately our brunch was ruined by wasps. We chose to sit outside and it was a very difficult experience. Some food wasn't eaten because of being totally surrounded by them.

A rainy day lunch with dogs in the marquee. V busy so slow but friendly service. Food v good. Highly recommended!

Our quest for the best cream tea took us to the Valley View. We were not disappointed they were delicious! Be warned it comes with 2 massive scones with tasty jam & thick clotted cream. Location was wonderful as we had a view looking over the valley. Definitely worth the trip there.

Absolute shambles from start to finish! Told there would be a 45 min wait for cooked food, so opted for a cream tea. The waitress couldn’t seem to work out that we only one scone each and a cup of tea each. Got 2 scones, one knife on a board and a tea for one. Told her we wanted 2 teas - oh you’ve only paid for one. Ok well add another on please! I could pay for that at the end. We were sitting outside as no space inside. Attacked by a swarm of wasps. Couldn’t stay there. I looked around, there was a big tent behind that noone had mentioned to us - moved all our stuff in about 3 trips. Turns out it was no better! Had to give up on the scones with the infestation of wasps. Left . Went to pay for the tea. Told them how we felt. Not so much as a sorry, offer of not paying for the tea. Offer of help to help us move - disaster from start to finish!

Lovely proper farmers breakfast 😀

Best breakfast we have ever had! With great views can’t fault one thing

Scones are to die for! Make sure you visit this little gem in Loddiswell with great videos. Make sure you make a pit stop here.

Fabulous food and service. Be warned the portions are huge.

A great place to get a cream tea or breakfast.

Found this place by chance. I had just been to a pet cemetery and was in need of a cup of tea and a place to just sit. Sadly it was near closing time. So we didn't get to have any of the delicious looking food. However the lovely lady working that day kindly let us buy a slice of cake and a pot of tea. We sat outside on the large veranda. The views are outstanding. The cafe itself is lovely and clean. With decent toilets. There's am outside area with a benches and a play area for children. The most beautiful wildflower meadow. With a path cut into it so you can actually walk around. There's an option to pick the flowers with a QR code on a board so you can give a donation of your choice to the air ambulance. Altogether a gorgeous place.

We had a large breakfast each and, my word, it is large! Delicious quality produce cooked perfectly, all served with a steaming hot coffee. Beautiful cafe interior, warm welcome and friendly , tentative staff. Only downfall, and I know the staff cant help it, the wasps, be prepared to swipe at em!!!

Popped in for some cake after a lengthy bike ride - awesome raspberry flapjack with a slab of white chocolate on top which fuelled my final miles home. Thanks guys!

Lovely view, food was great with fab portion size. Staff were very accommodating. Dog friendly which is a real plus for me.

Our second visit in as many days. Lunch this time, which we really nice. Lovely staff to top it all. Thank you.

Big servings for breakfast!! Yummy!!

Quality breakfast looking down the Avon Valley in the sunshine. Prompt service and easy parking. My wife had the veggie option and was full of praise!

Beautifully cooked food in a beautiful valley. Be warned though, the cream teas come with two scones and are not for the faint hearted! (We had to take one home each in a take-away box, which meant we could enjoy them a second time 😀)

Farm shop is so lovely. Meat and pies very nice

Came here six years ago and I described it then as the best ever breakfast. Was in the area again recently so was so excited to return this time as a family of three. Was very pleased to see the Butchers breakfast still on the menu. As far as I’m concerned, nothing has changed and this breakfast is simply the best! Lovely food, lovely views, lovely staff.

Called in here as it was recommended to us. The cafe is an amazing little find. Seating both inside and out. Dog friendly inside and out. We only had tea and a scone. The scones were served warm and were big, most importantly tasty, not dry at all. Staff are super friendly and helpful. We visited the attached butcher shop and purchased some meat, and we will definitely be back whilst we are staying in the area, fresh veg and fruit, and lots of tasty treats. Edit We returned a couple of days later for lunch and again could not fault this place. 5 stars

Nice very tasty food 😋 great views

Really well presented breakfast, nicely cooked, would definitely return. Fab views

Just had a lovely brunch here. Clean cafe with inside and outside seating. Gorgeous valley views . Friendly staff. Great menu choices. Our brunch was sooo tasty and we can definitely recommend a visit

Best cream tea ever,scones were huge & so fresh, need to go back for lunch now 😊 Staff were nice, and helpful Easy parking, lovely views

A lovely place to stop, I had a superb hog roast roll, groaning with fillings, and my wife had a lovely plate of ham egg and chips. Fairly priced, very good quality, we’ll be back soon. Especially with the superb farm shop next door, and the fresh milk machine, really good work by the team here. The cakes look superb too if you are just stopping for tea

Food is always fab! As is the service.

On holiday in Devon and we're desperate to find somewhere that does cream tea. We decided on afternoon tea as it was my husband birthday and wow I highly recommend it, All of the food was so nice, You get so much for your money that we had to take some back to our caravan, Coffee was also very nice. Gorgeous views too.

Food lovely, staff friendly and reasonably priced. What's not to like

Lovely looking cafe, great views, delicious food and good service. We visited for breakfast with our daughter and dog. We were warmly welcomed and immediately loved the cakes, décor and feel of the place. There's plenty of food options and a decent children's menu. We picked the big breakfast and beans on toast for the little one. Here's where I would normally bemoan homemade smokey beans, but for the first time ever they were delicious!! Everything else on the breakfast was spot on. Lovely sausage, tasty bacon and simply amazing hash browns. Drinks wise tea and coffee were lovely, and apple juice was Heron Valley which frankly is the best you will ever have. I highly recommend this as a stop and you must have a look around the farm shop as well!!

Food and cakes are incredible and reasonably priced! Views from the cafe are beautiful on a nice day but also lovely to warm up on a rainy day! Staff are lovely and accommodating, Daisy is a superstar 😊

Little gem of a cafe. Food superb & staff lovely. Accessible in my wheelchair..

They never fail to satisfy in terms of quality and consistency. Value it excellent and the location is lovely. If you're visiting the area then it is worth a visit. I personally adore their breakfasts, and as a local, I think it's the one place I tend to stick to for this, or a drink with the kids.

Hoping for a quick coffee & slice of cake, I joined a queue in the door way. Despite the cafe being half empty, staff seemed to be running around like headless chickens, cups & plates could not be found and guests waiting to be seated or pay ignored. After 5 minutes of so a member of staff put up a small blackboard indicating that the cafe was full. After another 5 minutes, and only after seeking clarification, it came to light that the 'full cafe' sign related to those already waiting. A complete waste of time. I won't be returning as this isn't the first experience of having to wait an age for a coffee & cake. Instead I went to the garden center down the road where I was served promptly and had a far superior experience.

Needed a sixth star for the Field Breakfast. Best Veggie I've ever had.

Valley View Cafe is an absolutely stunning place. It's set in the beautiful South Hams countryside between Kingsbridge and Loddiswell. The food is so delicious and the staff are amazing. I would highly recommend visiting this place.

I would quite honestly say this is the best lunch I have had in a long time. Went for the toasted emmental and ham sandwich. It was amazing Staff are superb and nothing is too much trouble. We will be back very soon. Please don’t change 😀

I stoped off here for a quick lunch and was not disappointed! Excellent friendly service and the best cheese scone I have ever tasted to accompany my equally tasty soup! Highly recommend this gem of a find!

Been here so many times, always lovely service, lovely food. Would highly recommend to try.

My family and I have been spoiled rotten every time we visit this outstanding food venue. The quality of the food is outstanding from an extensive menu. Coupled with the professionalism and friendliness of the staff every time we visit for breakfast or lunch, it has become our favourite ‘go to’ place. I highly recommend you experience this venue for yourselves.

Absolutely fantastic breakfasts!! Service and staff are wonderful! Been several times now! You won't be disappointed!

Really great find, extremely generous portions, delicious farm food, friendly staff and a lovely view. Couldn't fault it, will definitely be coming back !

Stopped here by chance and what a lovely surprise. The food was fantastic and the service matched. Thank you very much.

Valley View is our favourite place to visit as a family, the food is fabulous, huge portions, great menu and the kids love the milkshakes and cheese scones! The staff are always friendly and helpful. 100% recommend this place!

We have visited several times but have become increasingly aware at the lack of cleanliness particularly in the marquee area. We requested the table be wiped, every visit the ketchup bottles are unwashed, have old lids and look disgusting and unhygienic. A very dirty sofa sits in the corner. The food is normally super and hearty portions but the chips are well overly fried and not for the first time almost inedible, all the insides dried out to a frazzle. It was a busy day but our meal took almost an hour to arrive although we were not in a hurry. Toilet was clean. It was a busy day.

A lovely smart little cafe adjacent to the butchery/ farm shop near Loddiswell. Warm friendly staff, great coffee and tasty homemade food and cakes. Would definitely make a return visit 👍

Great food, lovely girls, good service, we love it .

Always love our breakfasts in valley view. X

Excellent afternoon tea and lovely chips. The scones were super yummy. Nice farm shop too. Will definitely be back

Lovely place, food and butchers. Superb views.

Third visit in a week! (we're local) Twice for lunch with visiting sister, and again this morning for my husband's birthday breakfast. We were given a warm welcome by the attentive team on each of our visits. The quality, quantity and presentation of food on each occasion was spot on. The stunning view is just the cherry on the top! We treated ourselves to cake to take away (Apple, Walnut & Cinnamon) which was equally delicious. Excellent value and such a lovely experience from start to finish. Thank you! (P.S. The steak and stilton pasties from the adjoining farm shop are also superb!)

During our week in this area we visited three times and on each occasion the food was exceptional. Today we arrived just after 4pm and were fully aware that the cafe closes at 5pm so felt , incorrectly as it transpired, that we would have plenty of time to enjoy our Devonshire cream tea. Our scones were great and served very promptly. By 4.20pm it became very clear that the two young girls were ready to go home! Chairs were being stacked on tables all around us , a basket of washing appeared and then the mopping started! I have never eaten so quickly as we felt so incredibly uncomfortable. We left and were driving away in our car by 4.36pm Such a shame as this place had been our absolute favourite place all week but on this occasion they really let themselves down.

We had the most wonderful time celebrating our belated birthdays in your marquee. The location was perfect for 4 generations of our family and the customer service was the best we have experienced for a very very long time. We were all so impressed with the wonderful staff and their attention to detail. They ensured that our meal was truly enjoyable. Well done to everyone who is involved in giving such high-class service. There are many establishments that could learn from your training as you are clearly are  head and shoulders above most  in the area. The food ......so gorgeous. We all had something different (we came for breakfast / brunch) and nothing was too much trouble. I forgot to order my Mum's food and my husband explained to the staff that we had omitted her order, and within what seemed like minutes, she had a wonderful plate of steaming food in front of her. She is 86 and had lost her appetite until then. It's the first hearty meal I have seen her eat in a while. Sorry to go on but we were all so delighted with everything you offered and will rave about our experience for a very long time.  

Fantastic little gem in Devon .🍳🍳🍳🍳 After travelling from Warrington overnight , this is the place we decided to go for breakfast .😀😀😀😃 And what an amazing breakfast we had . The quality of the food was outstanding , all locally produced . Lovely waitress Dasiy was so cheerful and helpful . Loved chatting with you Dasiy .😀😀😀 Would definitely return , well done 👏 to everyone at Valley View Cafe . Just before we went on our way to our holiday destination , we called into the farm shop to pick up some shopping , outstanding, spotless , and a wonderful selection of meat , veg , pasties and more . A hidden gem 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 Lovely .

First off wow the place was very messy and as I ordered food I felt rushed from the person taking my order then when I actually got the food it had mayonnaise on the burger which was not listed as one of the ingredients which is a high known allergy and should have been listed next was the texture of the fries they felt like cardboard and tasted terrible the chicken was chewy and still a little pink so I didn't eat it but this place needs to get themselves into order before they kill someone their food hygiene rating is a 5/5 but should be a 1 out of 5 absolutely disgusting and disgraceful will not be returning

Lovely quality food and drink and surroundings. Lovely valley views. The butchery and cheese shop also fantastic.

We visited this morning for breakfast. It was terrible weather with heavy rain and storms, and we thought it would be quiet. Not so, we had to wait a short while for a free table, but we didn’t wait long. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, as was the coffee too. We are only sorry it is the last day of our holiday otherwise we would definitely be back. A tip to anyone travelling there, DO NOT follow your Sat Nav, just stick to the main route. We had a very hair raising trip along many single track roads, and found it was completely unnecessary! Lesson learned!

As a diabetic I needed food and quickly and chanced upon this, as it turns out, wonderful café. It's family run and a fantastic job they do too. Busy all the time with plenty of customers beit eating in or taking out, the food is delicious and the girls who wait are efficient, polite and attentive. A great big "thank you all" from me.

A regular haunt of ours for breakfast. Good meat and good asparagus and avocado options. Can get very noisy inside if crowded as echoing, but still one of our favourites

Absolutely lovely food...fantastic service and food and very friendly staff...Will definitely visit again and recomend to anyone 😀

Been going here for 3 years from Dartmouth weekly Fantastic service, ingredients and staff too !!! Awesome atmosphere - thank you x

Fabulous cakes. Ideal place to meet friends and enjoy a bite to eat.

Back again, Sunday breakfast, really enjoyed the visit excellent food and service. Hopefully back again soon.

Nice iced mocha but waited ages for order to be taken & we had to beckon someone to take order

Great food & service. Had the Big Butchers breakfast before our 5hr drive back home. Nice, tasty… & filling…

Desde el ultimo año que lo visité subieron mucho los precios y esperas casi una hora por tu comida... yo lo prefiero para desayunar, son un poco más rápidos, creo que no volveré, no quiero una chica (young yellow head) que me grite cual es mi número de mesa (calmate por favor, que pagamos tu sueldo tus lovelys clientes)... Igualmente comentar que tienen una carnicería con buenos productos km 0 y una tienda con alimentos de granjas cercanas.

The food was great but the staff however were quite rude and seemed like they did not want to be there. I was originally sat outside and I asked to move inside which was fine. I then said to the older waitress if I could get my partner to tell her we are inside and she says "You might lose your seat" although I would be gone for 10 seconds at most. The same waitress then asked if I wanted to order which fortunately was a yes as I knew what my partner wanted. Even when taking the order she was really unwelcoming and short. Despite the negatives, as stated, the food was really good and the speed of service was great. The views were brilliant aswell. It's a shame that the staff acted the way they did. Hopefully it was a one off.

Restored my faith in a proper Devon Cream Tea. Freshly baked fruit scones, warm from the oven with lashings of clotted cream and strawberry jam. Best cream tea I have had for many years, as so many scones are stodgy. But certainly not these ! Excellent.

We arrived at a busy time and were welcomed very very nicely by an efficient happy young woman who made it clear it was a busy time and provided an idea of waiting times. No bother. Lovely views across The Valley and the cafe is very pretty. The food arrived when advised. It is exceptionally well priced and represents incredible value for money. It was all delicious and fantastic quality. Table Service was excellent. Someone further down the comments took exception to the price of toast and Nutella. The point is you’re enjoying food made by someone else in an environment they spend money making welcoming and enjoyable. It’s not Tescos! You also don’t clear away afterwards. The same people have to pay staff upkeep and overheads. The cafe is incredible value for the quality of the food. Highly highly recommend.

Great find. Food was delicious, views were fab and there’s a play area for children too. Will definitely be returning next time we’re here.

Disappointed, service poor, food good but not as expected. Cafe was small and it was very tight around the tables inside. We sat down and went to order at till but were told to wait at table and someone will be over. After waiting ten minutes we could see others putting there orders in at till. In the end we went to till and the girl who said someone would be over, followed us back to table and took our order. We received our mediocre latte and drank it but no food arrived. We waited and waited and then heard someone say to new people there’s was a 25 minute wait for food. We were not told this. I now understand that food is cooked fresh so there may be a wait but no one told us this at the time. When the food arrived it was well presented, my husband enjoyed his burger but the chips were bits. The longest chip was an inch long! My croque was very dry and I didn’t expect it to be covered in mustard mayo. Hopefully this was a bad day.

Think perhaps some staff training might be helpful. Internet had recommended here as one of the best places for a cream tea, but on entering, we were told had stopped serving those/kitchen had closed (about 3.40). Asked what we wanted before even finding somewhere to sit. Felt very hurried to order & pay. My coffee & walnut cake was overly sweet and couldn't actually taste any coffee, sadly I left half as was just sickly. Then same young lady who initially served us came over and apologised saying she had made a mistake, that cream teas were still being served and would we like one. I know we all have to learn, but all in all, that was a wholly disappointing experience.

Absolutely fantastic food, we had the hog roast burger and wow. Staff were lovely , I would highly recommend.

Nice little farm shop cafe with friendly staff - I wouldn’t say the food was particularly good (the fry up breakfast is dominated by main mushrooms and not one but 2 baked tomatoes, not the 2 key ingredients when you only have 1 has brown and 2 small sausages). The vegetarian option included asparagus which seemed an odd choice and wasn’t brilliant either. Coffee was only a 5/10 and the place is filled with wasps which seems like an easy fix. Not terrible, but better around…

We had the Butchers big breakfast. Wow!!! Best breakfast ever, it was all super tasty, fresh and cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and delivered a fab service

Great menu choices, and the food was fantastic. This was my first visit, but it certainly won't be my last. I would definitely recommend this venue for lunch.

Excellent food, but the service side on a busy Sunday will mean I won’t be going back. I think they’d be fine at a quiet time - they just can’t deliver to as many people as they’d like to.

Good food but cold. We had breakfast in the draughty marquee, the food was good but served on cold plates. Biggest fault was the door, everytime a waitess came in they left it open. It was a breezy day and we took it in turns with other tables to shut the door which became a bit of fun. Tables very uncomfortable, too small.

Brilliant food, fantastic cafe food was amazing

Couldn't get a table. It was full. It's not very big and the tables are mainly for couples. Only about 6 tables anyway. So, didn't stop.

Decided to pop in for breakfast before setting off for home as been holidaying in nearby cottage. Busy place but they found us a table and easy parking. Superb quality breakfast and friendly staff. Just wish this place was near home.

Good breakfast here. Great coffee. Pretty views.

The only thing to do in Loddiswell… so yeh it’s fairly decent with nice views and a marquee for when the weather turns. Quite windy tho!

Didn't have any food this time but omg vanilla milkshakes amazing just the right amount of ice cream had 2.

Yummy cakes. Friendly, efficient service.

Incredible food, beautiful view, excellent value and friendly service. What more could you want? We really enjoyed it.

Great views over the valley and a lovely quality breakfast the only problem was my eyes were bigger than my belly 😁😁

Popped in for a spot of lunch, had lovely burger with all the trimmings. Plenty of food and hand cut chips. We would use again. Now has takeaway picnic area in field opposite cafe, with tables under cover.

Always a good breakfast in here and good views across the valley. Plenty of parking and decent facilities. Butchers and farm shop adjacent if you need to stock up.

Best tasting and most generous beef burger and sides I've had out for a very very long time. Beef of the burger itself absolutely delicious. Ill be coming back for more. The onion rings also were fabulous. The slaw delicious and fresh. A really nice surprise, thank you.

Such a lovely place, food was the best we have tasted for the last 2 weeks of visiting Devon and Cornwall. Homley, helpful, and a fantastic view, what can I say. Thank you. Anyone in the Kingsbridge area find this spot, and you won't be...
