Amazing
A lovely treat from our son. The venue was amazing, the staff professional and the afternoon tea outstanding. There was far too much and the waiter was very accommodating in letting us have a box to take the left overs home. We'll definitely be back, perhaps for lunch.

A relaxing high quality experience
A lovely couple of hours in a quintessentially English setting enjoying a wonderfully presented afternoon tea. Everything was delivered in a professional and friendly way and the necessary Covid measures were all in place without being unnecessarily obtrusive. A highly recommended experience which is great value for money

My birthday gift
Throughly enjoyed our afternoon tea. More than we could eat but we were able to take the rest home in little cake box. Staff very pleasant though totally absent when we came to leave apart from at reception and on the door. Beautiful views helped by weather being much better than forecast. A lovely gift / treat for anyone. As it was our first visit a few more signs would have been helpful to us to find our way there.

Excellent afternoon tea
This was a much delayed Christmas present, near our new home in Devon. We arrived early, so we could go for a walk round the grounds, before the afternoon tea. Fortunately, we chose the one day of the week with good weather. The location is spectcular, and the gardens are very peaceful to walk round. The afternoon tea was excellent, savoury and sweet, beautifully presented, top quality. The staff were excellent, attentive without being overbearing. Great day out.

A lovely gracious experience.
Food was interesting and tasty, staff courteous and helpful, venue a beautiful and historic site, cleverly kept in historic looks, with modern amenities Just don't ask your satnav for the route, we were taken along the biggest pot holey track I have ever seen. Staff told us how to go on proper roads on the way home. Good variety of food with interesting combinations. Well done chef.

Deliciousness in the perfect setting
Despite the wind and rain my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the most delicious afternoon tea at Bovey Castle. An opulent setting, with great service and a parrot to keep us entertained. Word of warning definitely don’t eat beforehand, there’s loads for 2 people. We did take a few cakes home with us.

lovely location
Enjoyed afternoon tea in front of a lovely fire-too much too eat, did not really need very sweet cakes as savoury rolls, quiches & sausage rolls & scones, little plain cakes were all we could eat, all beautifully displayed on cake stands.

Brilliant day out at Bovey Castle
The sandwiches, pastries' and cakes of the afternoon tea were absolutely excellent, whist people might think the cost is high for afternoon tea I can assure them that the quality and the quantity makes it excellent value for money. This coupled with the very friendly, smart and efficient staff, in the main hall of Bovey Castle made it a day to remember. Well done all at Bovey Castle.

The best cream tea in the world
If cream teas are your thing Bovey Castle is a must I have been 3 times now and I will definitely be going again. The whole experience makes you feel truly special from parking your car for you when you arrive impeccable food service and a scrumptious cream tea we had so much they put in a box the cakes we didn’t manage to finish. We had another wonderful afternoon.
