One of the most quintessential of English customs was introduced in England by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. The Grand Hotel built in 1881 is the perfect place to take part in the customary tradition. Homemade scones made in our micro bakery accompanied by Devon clotted cream and homemade jam enjoyed alone as a Devon Cream Tea or alongside a selection of traditional finger sandwiches, cakes and pastries which can be devoured whilst enjoying the panoramic sea views.
Enjoying easy access to 22 miles of beaches,hidden coves and the stunning coastline that make up The English Riviera. Why not take a walk along the South West Coast Path.

For the rainy day there is Kent’s Cavern, Bygones and more....
