Withypool Tea Rooms in West Somerset

Cream Tea here was outstanding. The best of the best on a tour of the South West.

A nice welcoming cafe and friendly staff it is very small village with only one post office and shop and a small 1950 petrol station but a very pritty village

Not very busy but had to wait a good half hour for two coffees and a slice of cake! We certainly weren't the only ones getting frustrated. Very pleasant staff (two young, one older) but they need to get moving ABIT quicker, we were cycling, it wasn't all that warm, we just wanted a quick refuel! I do have to say the coffee and cake was nice

A very nice village where everyone Is very friendly

Excellent cream tea, huge scones, homemade jam, lovely tea. Oat milk available Perfect Close to the stone circle Must visit!

This is a nice little village with a village store and a really lovely dog friendly tearoom, plenty of seating inside and out. We had a tasty breakfast bap and a cuppa coffee, also nice, friendly staff,freshly cooked so worth the wait. We enjoyed it so much, we went back for breakfast on the day we had to return home, we had a walk along the river with our little Bichon dog, had a look around the shop, bought jams ,honey, chutneys and fresh bread to take back home, we decided to go back in the tearoom for a cuppa for me and a smoothy for my partner and a piece of yummy cake before setting off home. Would definitely recommend the village and tearoom ,quite a few groups of bikers stopped off for food and drinks,they said what a great find.

We used to love coming here but don't know what's happened because on the last three visits the service has been extremely slow. On the last occasion we ordered three coffees and more than twenty minutes later we were still waiting. When I checked to see how our order was doing, I was given a rather curt reply from the lady I believe is the owner. We were very unhappy with the overall lack of good customer service and asked for a refund as we couldn't wait another ten minutes or so. Such a shame as it's a beautiful location.

A good place to stop and get refreshments whether on a drive or a walk.

Amazing cakes and very welcome sandwiches. A perfect village shop and cafe experience and ideal for tired hungry hikers.

Just what we needed on a cold and rainy day! Fab breakfast rolls 👍👍

My wife and I popped in here midway through our walk. We found a delightful welcome from within a relaxed, bright and welcome spot. The gluten free cake (red velvet) was amazing and so much better than just chocolate brownie. And my wife's fruit cake (though not gf) looked and tasted great (so I'm told). Good coffee and great service to boot. Thanks

Lovely tea rooms serving the best flat white...nice and strong!! Cakes were amazing..so many to choose from ...sandwiches were really good to.will definitely return

Nice little place to stop at for tea and a bacon sarnie

Friendly welcome yummy food delicious cream tea! Quiet cafe lovely atmosphere

The best GLUTEN FREE cheese scones I have ever eaten (and I thought mine were good!) The gluten-containing Withybig cheese scones were also very well received. Lovely chutney too. The Withybig/gf cream teas also brilliant.

Lovely setting great taste we had a latti armercano and cake the service was great and friendly with happy staff but the portion size was to small for the price

We stopped for a drink and cake. Staff were very friendly and were very accommodating. The cakes were absolutely fantastic and would highly recommend the tea room to anyone who passes by.

The veggie soup and bread roll were delicious. We found the scone to be a little on the dry side. The staff were great. Interactive and friendly. A great find.

We usually manage a break on Exmoor each year, and a visit to Withypool tea room is always on the itinerary. Friendly efficient staff and good indoor & outdoor seating. We sometimes arrive with thoughts of a "healthy" option but usually succumb to a cream tea - deliciously large scones, a choice of "proper" jams, and an array of real teas. But it's more than a tea shop with breakfast options, light lunches, ice cream and a range of alcoholic & soft drinks on offer. Full marks to Anita and her team!

Big portions, nice food in a traditional English way, if they are busy service can be slow, but relax after all, this is Devon, not London.

Fantastic food as always. Such a lively place and setting. Service was a little slow on Sunday lunchtime but possible could have been new staff. Usually quick and always with a smile. Lovely place lovely people.

Lovely food, including a good gluten-free selection, lovely staff, and a great location.

Just what we needed after a very tiring bike ride! Excellent sandwiches and even better cream teas. Definitely recommended!

They have Oatly! and the tea cakes are egg free.

Busy cafe. Fab food. Locally made quiche delicious, served with small side salad and few crisps. Handy for walkers with their dogs. Not rushed to move from the table even though they were busy.

A lovely, cosy little place. Staff were very welcoming to a couple of bikers. Coffee was good, bacon and egg bap was apparently very nice. Lots of fresh cakes and scones on display, despite the outback location, very popular. Delicious looking, piping hot soup and crusty bread being delivered to a table as we left. Definitely worth a stop again.

Stunning Afternoon cream teas! Dog Friendly tea rooms! Huge scones in fruit variation or plane, offered up with beautiful Selection of Jams and good quality tasty Tea! The varieties of cakes and sandwiches etc available at this quaint tearooms should not be missed. The location is like something out of a poets book. 👌

Having been to these tea rooms on several occasions and given good reviews it seemed like a nice way to spend the afternoon, a lovely drive over Exmoor with the knowledge a lovely coffee and cake awaited us. On this occasion the review for both service and food doesn't reflect what I'd expected from past experience. On arrival we'd asked for cake and coffee along with some soup, the person serving us said they thought they didn't have any more soup but after a short discussion with the person cooking, we were offered potato and leek soup. After paying we sat outside in the sunshine and waited, and waited until after 20 minutes the coffee arrived, as the coffee began to lose its heat I drank it and wondered when my Walnut and Coffee Cake would arrive along with the soup we'd ordered. Eventually after enquiring when the cake and soup would arrive, it arrived but not before the coffee had been despatched to the depths of my hungry stomach. The soup was luke warm, what had possibly been potato and leek soup was now a thin watered down liquid which didn't resemble anything other than a watered down soup. Clearly standards have slipped from what had once been a delightful experience and one we'd become accustomed to. I advise all those faithful customers to recognise those standards which made this location a must visit are no more. Save your money for a tea room which cares for its customers.

A fantastic tea room service second to none food was beyond expiation would recommend to every one. Staff were excellent

Amazing cake selection, great coffee and lovely scones.

Such a relief to come across this place during a ongoing gruelling bike ride. I had a delicious cream and whortleberry jam fruit scone and latte. A lovely cafe. Also sells locally made jams and produce and Exmoor souvenirs.

Fantastic little tea room and the best cream tea too :-)

Delicious cream tea and excellent coffee.

Great tea room. Lovely cake and coffee.

Had a lovely Deven Scone and Coffee, fantastic service, lovely people, gorgeous scone with jam and clotted cream. Sat outside in the Devon sunshine and really enjoyed sitting eating and watching the world go by. Bought cake to take away and enjoy later after my birthday dinner. Will go back with no hesitation. The photo is of the petrol pumps that are in situ outside where you sit. I think it must have been part of the garage which is next door at some time. It adds to the unique atmosphere of the lovely tea rooms. Thank you from the couple with the two black Spaniels.

A lovely little quiet spot in the middle of Exmoor. I had a drink and scone which was freshly made and delicious. I felt like I’d been transported back in time to one where time went much slower and life was much less rushed. Will definitely call in again if I’m in the area.

On our tour of Exmoor we happened across the tea rooms at Withypool. After visiting Winsford and finding it was mostly closed, except for the lavatories, which are exceptional, so well done to the residents of Winsford for the superb upkeep of a vital convenience. Anyhow, the tea rooms at Winsford were closed, and due to finally close December 2023. So after grabbing a mars bar and paper from the open shop, next door to the pub, we moved on to Withypool. The tea rooms are situated very near the river and housed in an old service station, not fussy and quaint. We didn't require much to eat, so we looked at the menu and liked the sound of the soup of the day and the cheese scone and mature cheese and chutney. The scones were large and delicious, the cheese was beautifully mature and crumbly, and the chutney was just right to add a sweet and sour compliment to the cheese. We also topped it off with a very generous pot of tea. Service was quick and courteous, and the food was just right. Thank you... Oh, the reference to cheap petrol is the old pumps that are on show outside...

Oh guys the scones….oh just divine! Fruit scones with cream and jam are seriously amazing! Won’t lie when I say it was the best scone I’d ever tried! The flat white coffee just hit the spot also. Daughters enjoyed luxury hot chocolates the first time we went and the chocolate ice cream milkshake the second and loved it all! Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely have to come back for those scones and flat white too! Thank you 😊

Had a lovely cheese scone and homemade soup.

Nice but …. Family of 6 visit, to try the cream teas we had read about. We ordered 5 cream teas and received 2 bowls of 2 different jams but only one bowl of cream. For 5 people the amount of cream seemed pathetic. Of course we are British so don’t like to ask for more. Scones were nice but cream had to be rationed. Disappointed as you don’t get a price reduction for ordering 5- so why give out less cream. Ordering each separately would be your best option!

Very nice tea room. Lovely location

Great clotted cream tea. Great location.

Passed through today with friends while out on the bikes. Had a great bacon roll (on GF bread), followed by a very nice piece of GF cake. Definitely worth a visit!

Sandwiches £9.50..... So we opted for cheese scone....which was good value for money

It’s clear why this simple tearoom is rated so highly. Super friendly staff, perhaps the lightest most tasty large fruit scones I have ever had (although smothering then with cream and Jam made them quite a bit heavier) and a decadent sized pot of tea. At a reasonable price in lovely location. I only wish I had room left for some cake. (They have quite an extensive menu and we told by one local their breakfast are as good too) We are staying locally and will certainly make another visit before we head home. If your passing go, if your not passing take a detour!

THE best scones I've ever had. Food was great and the ladies were super friendly. Dogs very welcome and fussed over.

We got there the minute it open the staff hadn't even got all the tables set yet we're so polite and told us to come in the food was brilliant as we have a full breakfast and the flapjack are to die for first class place to visit

Extremely pleasant Tea Room in a wonderful rural setting and welcoming personal service.

Nice relaxing cafe in the middle of the village. Dog friendly too🐕😁. A good place to stop if you’re on the longer Tarr steps circular walk. Friendly and attentive staff and a nice spot👍

A lovely cup of coffee in a great location. The main reason for 5 stars, however, were the accommodating staff who were welcoming and helpful.

We stopped here for a warming drink and something to eat after a rather wet dog walk. Great service and a fantastic choice on the menu. Well worth a visit.

This was our second visit to Withypool Tea rooms. Decent coffee with a tasty flapjack on our first visit and breakfast bap on our second visit, with proper bacon. Lovely quiet location with extremely friendly and happy staff. Would definitely visit again.

Sat outside with screeching/highly strung dog!! Weather not great, but sheltered under sun parasol! Nice inside area (with well behaved dogs 😂) and tables outside. Lovely cream teas/cake/milk shake. Very friendly staff and lots of choice. Would return and recommend.

The food was very nice but the portion sizes were very small considering the cost.

We decided took go for a cream tea here recommended by our daughter and husband it was delicious 😋 will go back again 😋

Lovely little country tea room inside and outside eating areas and dogs are welcome

Great place to refuel after a walk. Although a little windy we sat outside and had lunch while taking in the views. The sandwiches/rolls seemed a bit pricey so we opted for the quiche and salad which was excellent. This cafe has a license so a bottle of Exmoor ale was an alternative to tea! The cakes were very good. Staff were friendly and helpful

We had 2 Cream Teas,efficient service,delicious fruited scones, wortleberry jam and tea

Lovely food Good service A great find. Went back again.

Cheese scone pot of tea a somerset favourite. Arrived bang on 12h00 and refused a breakfast bap, as it stops at 12h00. What a stroppy mare

Absolutely brilliant. Great food and a great atmosphere. Really enjoyed it there.

Lovely tearoom in a small village in the wilds of Exmoor. Took four of our grandchildren (aged 5 to 13) and they all enjoyed the food on offer and the luxury hot chocolate. Definitely recommended.

Nice small village with best jam selection must see but don't tell everyone please leave some for me.

Lovely staff and good ice cream selection. The scones were also delicious.

It is just a small room but it kind of cosy. I enjoyed the cheese scone and the tea. There are also some regional products like jam which can be bought.

Excellent coffee, delicious scones and jam, friendly staff. All in a beautiful village with riverside walks nearby.

We have been before for cake and breakfast and found it good value. We went for the first time this year and had quiche and salad for £10.95. The food was served on a plate the size of a tea plate - a small slice of quiche, a handful of salad leaves and a scant tablespoon of coleslaw. It felt very overpriced for a lunch that was in no way filling. At that rate a whole quiche would cost in the region of £80. In addition we asked for warm quiche (as offered) but it was cold.

Delicious Coffee & Walnut cake served here, recommend a visit in

Great scones but as we left I was overcharged, due to a genuine mistake. Instead of apologising I was made to feel it was my fault and the waitress rolled her eyes at me when I explained how it happened and was very rude. I won't return. Maybe some staff training is needed in basic good manners.

This really is the jewel in the Exmoor crown, fabulous cakes, friendly staff in a beautiful location.

We visited on Easter Friday as we were staying up the road at the Royal Oak. We were blessed with a lovely sunny day with people sitting outside enjoying the fresh air. Scones were huge and fab, freshly baked! Lashings of cream with strawberry and whortleberry jam and a lovely pot of tea to round things off. We chose the plain scones but you could also order fruit & cheese scones, and there was a great selection of cakes & ice creams too. Lola The Wonder Dog enjoyed a Marshfield pet ice cream too. There was a bit of a delay in service but they were busy, we were in no hurry and the banter from the young kitchen staff learning the ropes was fun to hear! Well done all, highly recommended 👍

Great friendly staff, super location

Glad back open the best cream tea on Exmoor.

Great little place scone was excellent and special jam

Loving this tea room! I have been a few times now. Friendly staff with yummy cake in a picturesque location. What do you want more?

Very understanding of some very wet people. lovely coffee and decent soup.

Really lovely little place in the heart of a beautiful village . We only had 2 take away teas so didn't try the food but the cakes on display looked really yummy and very tempting .

Our favourite place to stop during a long walk or cycle. Spoilt for choice on the menu with generous portions and excellent quality bakes, cream teas and lunch bites that all taste so fresh and comforting. Sweet and friendly team that work there too.

Always clean,friendly staff and food to die for what more could you want.

Took my teenaged grandsons on a Hawk walk on a Sunday morning,met up with the Hawk man at the tea rooms! Teenage joy at the sign for breakfast roll! The rolls were very big and freshly made for them! And very reasonable

Amazing cream teas and lovely souvenirs and gifts to buy! Plus they gave our four legged friends treats :)

A warm welcome followed by helpful friendly staff.

As locals, we often call in here for lunch if we are out walking or just passing through. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is very good. A lovely selection of sandwiches, rolls etc and ideal if you just want a quick lunch whien out walking or touring.

Best cream tea, friendly staff, perfect setting.

Loved this place. They had tomato and chorizo soup on special and boy was it good. Home made obviously . Also had a ham and cheese ciabatta . Really good . Service was good and prompt and friendly. Really dog friendly and they gave us some treats for our two. They also do doggy ice cream which I would think is great in summer.

Stopped for a lovely ice-cream 🍦

Lovely welcoming cafe with very helpful staff. Dog friendly too. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely scone, good coffee, friendly service.

Lovely friendly welcome. Excellent understanding of gluten free and allergies. GF rolls, scones and cake make up options. Will come again.

Great soups, cakes, GF food available. Fab coffee too

A wonderful place to stop and have lunch or an ice cream and I noticed special ice treats for dogs! Be prepared for a large plate even when ordering a sandwich! The service was welcoming and the place is homey with lovely views of fields and cows. Prices were reasonable.

Loverly tea room in a lovely village. Only had a brew so can not comment on the food but looks home made & fresh,local ice-cream

Lovely place to start and finish your walk. Decent coffee and cake. WiFi is handy as the mobile signal on the area is a bit flakey

This is an amazing place to sit and chill, it's set in a very quiet peaceful place on Exmoor and the staff are amazing, highly recommended

Great little tea room. Friendly service and a good selection of food on the menu. We only dropped in for ice creams this time but I've had lunch here before and it was always good. Was nice to see it bustling with customers when we were there too.

Spectacular cream tea with amazing wortleberry jam and lashings on clotted cream. Delicious 😋

Op aanraden van de TIC Minehead hier creamtea genuttigd. Heerlijk

Basic tea room but location good, very friendly and attentive staff, generous and delicious cream teas and fantastic sausage rolls.

Friendly, helpful staff. Enjoyed a bacon and mushroom quiche and a pot of tea.

Amazing homemade food and cakes. Great coffee and a very peaceful location. A must visit in this part of Exmoor
