The Old Bakey is my favourite tearoom it just has the most delightful old world quaint air about it, just right for afternoon tea.
The National Trust seem to be specialising in tearooms more and more these days and they have it spot on. Often when we are visiting a non NT place we will go to a nearby nt property just for lunch.
The old bakery tearoom is situated in an old bakery oddly enough. The lovely thatched building could no longer be used as a bakery due to H&S laws so the NT has turned in into a tearoom, it was the last traditional working bakery in Devon.
There is a large seating area outside with vintage folding garden chairs that add to the atmosphere and dogs are allowed into the garden seating area.
There is more seating inside in case of bad weather, also inside is the preserved baking room with ovens and bread tins that you can look at.
We had soup for lunch and it was lovely there was plently of choice for lunch and tradition drinks like homemade lemonade.
The carpark is a short walk away and very small but you can also park in the village hall carpark. On your way to the tearoom you pass the toilets.
We did not have time to visit the forge and mill so I can not comment on these. read more
