The Old Kitchen Tea Room

A very scrumptious cream tea rounded off a very pleasant walk to the Abbey. the COVID safe protocols were very well worked out organised. Food Drink ordered at the window and delivered to your well spaced table. Well done all for making us feel safe comfortable.

Lovely cream tea , 2 large scones freshly baked . Service friendly and efficient , well worth a visit

I enjoyed the made in the cafe by the 2 ladies who were also serving the Gluten Free Peach Melba Cake and later on the Gluten Free Cream tea. All sitting is outside so it needs to be a dry day but then to get the most out of visiting Hartland Abbey a dry day is recommended. Also available were a few Gluten Free lunch items e.g soup, jacket potato.

We spent a couple of hours exploring the woodland walk, the garden round the Abbey and the walled kitchen garden. All very impressive but we would love to see it in spring and summer to see it at its best. It is an impressive property but the best bit is the display inside. It was riveting. I went in to look at the shop but couldn't get past the display in the rooms leading to the shop. All very interesting and then in the shop itself, so much memorabilia from a bygone age. It was truly magical and fascinating. Lunch was also excellent and well organised in line with current restrictions.

It was a hot day and i was late arriving back from the beach, i thought i'd be lucky to get anything savoury which i really wanted so late now around 3pm and with the Covid 19 yet they kindly obliged with a generous Crab salad gluten free so i didn't want bread) Ordered through the window and delivered to a distant table complete with a brown paper bag for me to take away any rubbish. All very well organised and presented. Thank you
