Cheristow Tea Room

We are proud to have been accepted by the prestigous Tea Guild this year - one of only three tea rooms in North Devon to have received this accolade.

18 OCTOBER 2009 - We are delighted that Betty won the North Devon Super Service award for her front of house services to our customers. She works so hard to make everyone so welcome, and with her pleasant and professional manner runs the tea room with such entheusiasm.

We are thrilled to announce that we came third in the awards for 'Best Tea Room in North Devon' run by North Devon + in 2008.

Cheristow Tea Room overlooks the lavender garden, and the glorious Devon countryside.
