The tea rooms are in a stunning location and make a great destination for a walk. We walked up from the car park in Lynmouth, it's a about 2 miles along the path. The walk was lovely along side the river which is a fast flowing stream. The path is challenging in places and a little rugid. But having a great destination drives you on. Great staff and good food. One highlight was seeing a Dipper (a small rare bird).

We enjoyed lovely drinks, scones and cakes at Watersmeet cafe. The iced coffee was delicious. It's a very busy spot and the servery area is small so it's a tricky job for the staff.

Spot is beautiful, coffee and food was nice, shame about the gentleman serving coffee who couldn't manage a civil word to anyone from the moment we arrived, might be time to look for some new staff with a slightly better attitude towards customers.

This is such a beautiful spot, it is a shame that the cafe has deteriorated so much. We have been visiting Lynmouth for 50 years and used to look forward to a cream tea at the end of our walk but we don’t bother now as the quality is so poor and there are nicer places in the town. On this occasion we had cups of tea but none of the cakes looked even slightly appealing.

Beautiful walk from Lynmouth, lovely location for tearooms and garden which was untended with long grass and dirty tables. 2 cold drinks and small bag of crisps cost £10.00 ...where did that price come from.? Outside the cafe which was very quiet were trays of dirty dishes! Take a bottle of water and spend your money in the village. National Trust please note a total failure and lack of professionalism. The 2 points scored are purely for location.

We have visited watersmeet for many years.Today we visited for Lunch. It was appalling. Only pasties no cooked food available ,in spite of the fact the premises have a very substantial kitchen.I had a apricot flapjack , last one,it was tasteles,soggy and on theverge of stale.Refrained from eating it. I think Watersmeet should pull their socks up and make an effort.They are trading on their location.What happened to the reputation of the National Trust.

We have visited this spot so many times over the years and I have always thought of it as my favourite tea rooms because it is in such a beautiful setting but what is going on with the National Trust at the moment? All of their cafes have become very corporate with similar food offerings wherever you go. I had a bacon roll and it was very poor, one of those pre-packed affairs which you warm up in the microwave, very disappointing. I'd go again just to sit in that beautiful place but improvement is needed.

Small tea room with lots of outside tables (a few inside). Limited menu and not many staff to serve & cook to order. Meals only prepared until 2pm. Cafe can get very busy, and customers need to clear tables themselves (bins etc provided but often ignored). Dragon scones special highly recommended, and cakes enjoyed with our coffee. Ice cream - small selection on display in freezer, but can also request local brand tubs that are scooped to order until 2pm. Lots of walkers around, including several school parties, who all use toilet facilities. Toilets were fine for us.

Have been here many times in the past but it has gone downhill. Food selection limited - three sorts of pasties, some cakes and scones, nothing else. Tea and coffee served in disposable cups. Pasties served in disposable bags. All done through one serving position (rest of counter blocked off so couldn't actually see what cakes were available). Very slow service. I wonder what the problem is - lack of staff?

We came here after the 2 mile walk from Lynmouth. It took a long time to get served service was exceptionally slow, the queue just wasn't moving. Everyone was squeezed into a tiny corridor, so it was hard to see what they had on offer. There wasn't much choice of sandwiches, and no child options. Found a nice seat outside, beautiful setting. The sandwiches were dire, stale with no butter etc. Probably the worst sandwich I've ever had, which is a shame because there's so much choice in Lynmouth of great places to eat, but I guess they have a captive audience there, so they will get trade regardless.

It was the first big booking they had done and they did not disappoint, everyone was so friendly and accommodating making sure we had everything we needed nothing was to much trouble. Would definitely return. Well done watersmeet tea room staff and thank you for making my dad's birthday so special. 😊

We have coffee regularly in N T properties so bought their reusable lidded mugs which we use every time. Here we bought coffee as usual, never having been to this cafe before, and the coffee was only lukewarm and the cups were barely a third full. Terrible waste of money. The toilets were dirty, didn't look like the cubicles had been cleaned for months. Not a great experience.

I am not a greedy person, but I don't think I've ever been served such a small scone for a cream tea ever before and it was cold and hard to boot. The cream was also rock hard, so very difficult to spread on the scone. It didn't stop them charging more than I'd seen elsewhere either! Such a disappointment after a very pleasant walk along the river. I've no doubt that folk will continue to use the tea rooms due to their location, but I really don't recommend them at all.

We tried to visit after doing the 3.5km circular walk along the banks of the East Lyn River to the Ash Bridge; but the queues were long, every table was taken and huge piles of dirty crockery were everywhere. After a short while we abandoned our attempt to eat here - shame as the grounds are so nice it really would have been nice to enjoy some refreshments here.

Had a lovely walk along the river from Lynmouth up to where the waters do in need meet… tea rooms situated where two rivers converge and flow down to the sea. Despite them being small rivers, the water thunders down the valley and create the illusion of much bigger rapid flowing rocky rivers…. The tea room is lovely, with outside and inside seating and the usual National Trust type fayre. It’s a beautiful setting and worth the walk.

We waited for ages to be served (over 15 minutes), despite there being only 3 people in front of us and none of which wanted hot food simply drinks, only to be reprimanded by the staff member for not jumping to and collecting our one toasted tea cake from her the second she stepped out of the door. You had to clear your own table and return tray to the rear of kitchen. Not the fabulous service we usually receive from the National Trust - we won’t visit again!

The tearoom is situated in a fishing lodge built in the 1800's at the bottom of the gorge where the two rivers, East Lyn and Hoar Oak water meet. There is lots of outside seating and can be reached by a tiered walk down from the main road with a car park. The NT staff were as welcoming as normal and we had a coffee sat out in the grounds. So worth a visit if in the area

Fantastic walk from lynmouth along the river to waters meet and the national trust tea room, beautiful scenic walk and a well deserved cream tea before heading back to lynmouth, was a good walking trail but some ups and downs which helped us walk up an appetite. The tea room was busy as expected, we had a couple of cream teas and the scones were lovely. It was all in a takeaway bag and a takeaway cup as they were short staffed.

Had visited here some years ago and remembered the amazing cream tea with their own jam and the lovely setting.Something has clearly changed here.I understand covid rules but serving tea in paper cups, food in cardboard boxes with wooden knives?Come on National Trust other places use proper crockery which is much better for the environment and makes for a better experience for the customer.As for the cream tea the scone was small and very dry, clearly not made the same day .The jam is served in separate jars and the cream in a small plastic pot. Tea in a paper cup with the tea bag left in and no spoon provided. Priced at £5.50 this is over priced and poor quality and not what I expect from the N.T.Will not be visiting again in a hurry

We followed the West Lyn River to here using the path from Lynmouth. About two and a quarter miles of undulating path, quite uneven in places. Well worth the walk on a sunny day, then enjoyed coffee outside on the picnic tables. We really love the way the birds fly down for leftover crumbs. We had a Nuthatch on the table right in front of us, plus Blue Tits and a Robin. We returned to Lynmouth on the road as the walking was easier, but mind the traffic as no pavement.

We regularly visit this beautiful location on our holidays in this area and have always been highly complimentary of the service, food and, well everything in general. I know we are in unusual times and that safety is paramount but why has the National Trust taken to serving food and drink in disposable containers? Cream Tea in a paper bag, drinks in paper cups, all the food individually bagged such as sausage rolls and pasties. Nowhere else we have visited have done this. I’m sure that the use of proper crockery well washed in an industrial machine is far better than huge numbers of disposable items, even if they are recycled. Come on NT, take a look at other businesses in the area. You’ll learn a lot

They have a lovely garden area which was managed in accordance to social distancing and the tables sprayed between each person using them.

Watersmeet is our favourite family place, however we were left disappointed when we turned up to a cafe with no seating available whatsoever. This meant people were crowding under a small shelter making social distancing minimal and making me feel unsafe. The walk is fairly challenging and there was signs all the way along stating that the cafe was open, which wasn’t strictly true. Don’t do the walk if you are looking to go to the cafe at the end.

This is a lovely area with beautiful walks in stunning scenery. The tea garden is great but as with many NT places, space has been given over for the shop that really could have been used for the tea room, and therefore getting refreshment was a cramped experience with allot of waiting and queuing. The cafe area where you are served was far too small for the number of people going through it, and this was In April. I dread to thing how crowded and hot this would be in the height of summer .

It was a little pricey but ok when you take into account getting there and the upkeep of this very popular area. We were pleased to find a table for all six of us as some others who came after did need to wait. It’s a lovely tea room and definitely worth a visit. The grass area is currently out of bounds giving it a chance to recover but this does slightly reduce seating as of April 2019.

Well worth the effort of walking there or parking above the gorge. We felt their menu choice was much more limited in our September visit than previously & we have visited many times, including when we lived in same area.

These tea rooms at the top of Watersmeet are well worth the walk. Your feet will take you on a 20-minute (or so !) walk up through the gorge alongside rushing water. Not for the faint-hearted but my mother-in-law made it when she was in her 90s ! When you reach the tea rooms, opt for the cream tea but watch out for the myriad birds who will try to join you at your outside table !

Lovely spot right by the river. We were able to sit outside, amazing in November. There was a large basket of knee rugs for the less hardy! We were lucky to arrive as the cheese scones were coming out of the oven, can certainly recommend these, delicious!

Went for a lovely walk along the river, and decided to treat ourselves to a cream tea. Well, the scones were HUGE and plenty of jam and cream. Separate jug of hot water given on request, and we were joined on our table by blue tits and chaffinches, who waited politely for crumbs! A lovely place to go....there's a little shop with touristy stuff-tasteful not tat. Will definatley go again!

Very good value for money, 4 quid for 11 inch margarita and chips. Overall very nice but needed a bit more cheese on pizza. Brilliant customer service

Start with the positives, service was nice and didn’t take long, quality of fish was nice and the chips were decent but sadly that’s about it. The portion of fish and chips was small, the chips batter was a bit anaemic too but the potato was nicely cooked, the mushy peas were very poor, not a nice colour and taste was off and the curry sauce was very watery too. Big shame as it used to be a good chippy but I don’t think we’ll be returning.

We haven't been to barracuda for a long time, but thought we'd try it, the food was really top notch, not dripping in grease, the chips were well cooked and the fish was a decent size, lovely White flakey fish, I had curry sauce with mine, that was spot on too. We don't eat a lot of takeout food, but this will be our go-to fish and chip shop in future.

After visiting for over 20 years plus, I will never step foot in the place again. Booked a table of 11 for my mother’s 86th Birthday this afternoon, everything lovely as usual like always until the bill arrived at the table and they now add a service charge. £20 for our table today. NEVER and I mean NEVER have they done this before. It was knocked off when i challenged them over it, but this also cost them a good tip. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS Cheated staff out of tips now it’s law that staff retain all tips
