Travelling over 200 miles to North Devon was worth it just to experience the cream tea at Nelly May’s Parlour.
After an underwhelming experience at Sandleighs Tea Room, we were so overjoyed at finding and experiencing this quaint little place. The decor is interesting, warm and cosy and all covid and hygiene measures are in place and enforced.
The array of wonderful cakes are home made by Nelly Mays husband as well as the warm and freshly baked scones, clotted cream and jam. They also serve proper tea in proper China.
Nelly May is friendly and good for a chat but also knows how to let you savour and enjoy the delights you’ve ordered, which no doubt will leave you speechless anyway.
Even the bathroom is clean and well decorated with lovely hand wash and hand cream. They really have thought of everything! I urge you, make the effort to have cream tea at Nelly May’s Parlour. Don’t go anywhere else. You won’t be sorry!

A very pleasant tea room. Beautiful afternoon tea made with the freshest of ingredients. A lovely selection of fresh cakes to choose from, delicious quiche with crisp crumbly pastry, sandwiches made with fresh sour dough bread made in house and melt in your mouth scones with lashings of clotted cream. The owner was friendly and looked after us ensuring a wonderful experience. Will definitely visit when in the area again

Right from our initial communications to book a table, the customer service was fantastic.
Lovely food, our party had a mixture of jacket potatoes, salad, omelette and sandwiches followed by homemade cakes and pavlova. It all tasted amazing.
Would definitely recommend.
