It’s a gem of a place oozing character, friendly and does the best cream teas I have ever had! An absolute must if you are in the area.
We visited the May Cottage Tea Rooms on Saturday morning and had a wonderful warm welcome, a fantastic pot or 2 of tea and a variety of food, which was fabulous also. We will just have to return regularly to get through the entire menu!! Loved it! Thank you!
Lovely little traditional tea rooms. So glad we popped in here. The three ladies in there were so lovely. Very accommodating to us and were happy for us to move from inside to out and the lady fetched a wooden toy for our daughter. We stopped for cream tea and a toasted tea cake. Only parking is in the pay and display car park in Croyde. It's only a tiny village so you wouldn't notice this place as it looks just like someone's cottage.
Such a friendly tea room, a proper English seaside village tea room in a quaint genuine cottage and garden, my grandson and I were made to feel welcome and the people serving talked to us, they were interested and engaged with us , the cake and huge pot of tea were delicious, not too many tea rooms like this left. Well done, enjoy a good 2023 season.
We popped in this morning for a cream tea, it was absolutely yummy!
Big top of tea, lovely freshly made sandwiches, tasty fresh cream and jam scones and beautiful homemade coffee and walnut cake!
The lovely ladies are fabulous and even gave us a tub to take the uneaten cake home as I think our eyes were bigger then our bellies!
We even purchased a pot of jam and a marmalade to take back home.
A step back in time.
Quaint is the best description here. A thoughtfully decorated interior dotted with complementary ornaments evokes another time.
Higgledy piggledy furniture and tea from a teapot add further to the charm of the place.
Prices aren't too bad given that you're paying a little for the ambience of the place.
My traditional tea (with proper job china tea cup and saucer) was hot and the scones were near perfect: not too dry nor moist. If you're not afraid of new experiences, I recommend the savoury scone.
We'll definitely be going back when in the area again.
Great little tea room, very friendly and attentive staff. We ordered an afternoon tea, lovely sandwich, large scone with cream and jam, great cake selection, £17 including tea. Highly recommended
What a find. Been coming to Croyde for years and never found this before. Lovely food with gluten free options for our eldest. Very friendly staff and a really relaxed quaint atmosphere.
Will be visiting again before our holiday ends. Pity they are selling it.
Quite simply the best cream tea I have had in my life. Unbelievable home produce served with care. Simply wonderful!
Came here to have a traditional cream tea and it was delicious! Really friendly staff too and the atmosphere felt homely and cosy.
Family sat outside surrounded by cottages garden & enjoyed cream tea in the sunshine. The whole experience was perfect, thank you to all the lovely ladies who work there.
Fantastic cakes! My daughter said that the hot chocolate was MEGA!!!
Lovely little dog friendly tea room.
