Superb tearoom, quirky and well worth a visit. Loved the fresh food, scones to die for. Lady who served us was lovely and would highly recommend to everyone.
Gorgeous food and fantastic service. They go above and beyond to accommodate you and have done things like opening so we can have breakfast even when they are normally closed. I loved my high tea yesterday. Everything is beautifully presented and Suzanne and the staff are always very welcoming, lovely and knowledgeable. (Sorry I don't know all your names) I highly recommend a visit
Where to start, homemade bread, vegan coffee & walnut cake to die for and freshly cooked fruit scones with cream and strawberry jam... heaven, made all the better for sharing with my beautiful friends 😍
We were on our holiday and stopped at Nelly May's Parlour for an afternoon tea.
There are not enough words to describe how much we loved this place. The way it is decorated, the food and the service - everything was spotless.
Our only regret is that we live about 4 hours distance from Nelly May's, otherwise we would definitely be one of the most regular customers.
Congratulations for such a wonderful place. ��
This is the best tea parlour we have visited with its unique selection of good home made food individually cooked to ones liking combined with a friendly and polite service ready to cater to ones needs. This tea parlour should not be missed if one is in the area. Well done to Vince and Susanne .
Absolutely incredible. Had the best cream tea ever! Most delicious scones :). And wow, strawberry and lavender jam �� Such lovely owners and staff who made our visit very homely, warm and unforgettable. Will be back as soon as we can �� Much love xxx

Lovely little tearoom. It was listed in our cruise booklet of things to do while in Ilfracome. Sure glad we searched it out. Delicious tea and scones with clotted cream and homemade strawberry and black current jam. The owner Suzanne was so very kind to let us take lots of photos too!
A must do if you are in the area!
The best cream tea ever. The homemade blackcurrant jam was amazing. Lovely service, if you go to Ilfracombe then you must go here.

Beautiful cream tea in a lovely, quaint setting. Very friendly and welcoming!
Gorgeous Cream Tea, homemade scones & Jam. Well worth a visit x
Excellent brunch & toast. Cake we took away was scrummy too x
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
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!
Perfect friendly and homely. Beautiful breakfast. Great tea. Stephanie is really lovely and very informative. It’s like popping round to your aunts for breakfast but better.
Warm friendly staff. All home made cakes, breads and jams. Had the full cream tea which was great.
Olde Worlde characterful tea room, serving light lunches & wonderful cream teas. Lovely personal, friendly service, & presentation. Highly recommended
Best scone I've ever had! Gooseberry jam, clotted cream on warm ginger scone, to die for! Cakes are divine also
Lovely tea room with artisan breads, great food and really nice atmosphere and amazing cream tea, plus home made jams for sale, delicious!
Proper old-school tea house with doilies and fine china.
Cream tea was excellent and the warm scones were gorgeous.
Superb in every way. Nelly Mays is a hidden gem in illfracombe well worth the walk.
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.
