The Lee Abbey Tea Cottage at the bottom of the hill on the Devon estate is open during the summer season from 10.30 am to 5.00 pm (last orders 4.30) Tuesday to Saturday, plus the Bank Holidays.

On the menu are delicious cream teas, home-made cakes, drinks, ice creams and light lunches, served by the resident Lee Abbey Community. Enjoy them in a beautiful garden nestled in the valley by one of the estate’s two bubbling streams.

You are welcome whether you’re a Lee Abbey guest or just passing through.
