"Went to Whortleberry Tearoom first time travelling from South West based on Google reviews and it did not disappoint. The food particularly the scones were delicious and the tea and coffee flavourful, I ordered decaf Americano. The owners very polite and attentive."

"We called in for cream tea's on our way home. Absolutely beautiful scones, warm and so tasty. 2 adults and 3 teenagers, we all loved every single bit of our visit. The owners were welcoming, the atmosphere was nice, the drinks and the food faultless. We all spotted the homemade cakes on display too which looked gorgeous x"
