The Bedford Hotel

The Bedford Hotel, Tavistock

Reputedly where afternoon cream tea was invented, why not treat yourself to a Devon cream tea? On this side of the border they put the cream first, in Cornwall it’s done the correct way, obviously it should be jam first! Or… Why not try both ways? It actually tastes different so you can be the judge of which you prefer…

It’s another good place for breakfast, lunch or dinner with a decent menu. Booking recommended
