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 favourite tea, this indulgent experience is best savoured 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.
