Highly recommended. A refreshing stop on our walk from Exmouth to Exton. Globe trotter Holly (that's where that accent comes from) is a font of local knowledge

I had a fantastic bacon bap with butter and HP sauce. I also tried their soup of the day (carrot and coriander) and it was lovely. The location of this café is fabulous too, on the coastal path. I will be visiting again :)

Lovely little tea room with good service and nice food. I would suggest they have a go at providing a vegan option or two. The granary bread was a little disappointing, but the sandwich fillings were good, and there was a good selection of drinks. I only tried one of the cakes, but it was absolutely delicious - a rhubarb and custard blondie yu-umm.

We had an afternoon tea for 6. Everything was wonderful, SO delicious and Susannah was such a brilliant host. From the gorgeous cups & saucers to the incredible savoury food & cakes (they were so fresh) - we really enjoyed ourselves. As a family we really love an afternoon tea and this was right up there - thank you so much Susannah!
