Top Ten Cream Teas in North Cornwall

3/8/2016

Comments

 
It’s not surprising that in the homeland of cream teas there is such a great range of cafés that serve them.  All our guests get a free cream tea at our cottages, but they also finish their breaks singing the praises of various Cornish cafés.  At these fantastic venues you won’t find shop-bought scones being defrosted in the microwave.  Instead, home-made treats, superior service, and often stunning views set these apart.  Here, we’ve arduously compiled our best ten from a huge list of strong contenders - we couldn't choose our favourites among this list, so we've ordered them roughly from South to North.  If we’ve missed your top pick, please add it to the comments below.
