The best cream tea in Devon

Posted by Daveyf 22 June 2007

In a county replete with astounding cream teas, Primrose Cottage in Lustleigh serves the best.

Set in the wooded Dartmoor village famed for its Cleave, Lustleigh avoids the worst of the tourist influxes suffered by Widecombe and Haytor. Its thatched cottages centre around the church and its neighbour Primrose Cottage. As well as astoundingly good cream teas (served since the 19th century) the tea rooms also have an incredible selection of homemade cakes.

Work it all off with a walk along Lustleigh Cleave, a steep wooded valley through which the River Bovey bubbles.

Lustleigh is a 10 minute drive north of Bovey Tracey and about 45 minutes from Exeter.
