Devon Cream Teas at Hope Cove
At The Cottage Hotel, we take pride in serving delightful cream teas and simple afternoon teas, a quintessential part of the Devonshire experience. Whether you're relaxing in the lounge, enjoying the fresh sea air on the terrace, or taking in the breathtaking views of Hope Cove from the bar, our tea offerings are a perfect treat any time of day, but especially on a warm summer afternoon.
Our traditional Devon cream teas are served with freshly baked scones, light and fluffy, accompanied by rich clotted cream and tasty strawberry jam. Paired with a pot of your favorite tea, this indulgent experience is best savored slowly, as you gaze out at the stunning coastal views. For those seeking a little more, our simple afternoon teas offer an assortment of thick cut sandwiches, scones and home-made cakes.

The terrace, with its panoramic views of Hope Cove and beyond, provides the perfect setting for an alfresco tea. On sunny days, there's nothing quite like sitting back with a refreshing glass of sparkling wine, while enjoying a mix of sweet and savory delights, all while the gentle sea breeze adds to the ambiance.
Our lounge and bar offer equally charming spaces for enjoying these treats. The cosy lounge, with its arts and crafts feel, comfortable seating and large fireplace, is an inviting spot to relax with a warm cup of tea and a slice of our locally-famed fruit cake. Meanwhile, the bar offers a more casual setting where you can enjoy a cream tea or afternoon snack, with the option to pair it with a glass of chilled prosecco or a craft beer.
For larger groups or private events, our restaurant offers a great space for groups wishing to enjoy afternoon tea.
No matter where you choose to enjoy it, a cream tea or afternoon tea at The Cottage Hotel is an experience that blends tradition with indulgence, making it one of the highlights of any visit. It’s a true taste of Devon, served in the most beautiful of settings, and the perfect way to slow down and savor the moment.
