Beautiful house in North Devon. Brilliant view over the sea. Easily accessible from Barnstaple/Bideford. Great sunset of an evening too

Love it here. Beautiful peaceful setting, full of bird song. Delicious food by a talented local, plant and meat options. Seating indoors, or outside in walled garden with views. Warm welcome. Home made non dairy dog ice cream. Outside are small Iron Bistro tables and chairs, well spaced out. Great for conversation with anyone hard of hearing. If extra comfort needed may be wise to ask in advance, or bring wheelchair/cushion. Lucky they don't have sun loungers, I may have stayed all day

Had a delightful visit to Tapeley Park gardens and came across the tea rooms where we had a light and tasty lunch. It was a delicious mushroom and walnut bake accompanied by generous and piquant salads. And the staff were friendly, informative and obviously passionate about food! Highly recommend a visit here.
