A friend and I chose to study at The Old Mill Tea Room this past Sunday, and it was exactly what we needed. The fantastic customer service, welcoming atmosphere, and local charm, we found ourselves in the perfect spot. We enjoyed some delicious hot drinks and gluten-free vegetable pasties, though they were the only option available – our mistake for not arriving earlier! My friend also wanted me to mention she was a huge fan of the Biscoff biscuits that came with our drinks (a welcomed surprise) and the stunning mill attached to the building, which allowed for a brief 5-minute study break to stare in awe (or procrastination). Thank you to the staff, and we're looking forward to our next visit.

Came in and my wife and I shared a ploughmans. We were going to have something after but found that there was ample on the plate to satisfy both of us. I could have eaten the lot but would have felt a pig! Nice and olde worlde inside if a little cramped. I have read some of the old reviews and it looks like they have taken on board some comments as we really liked it. Wish I had taken a couple of pictures.

I had the most delightful experience at the tea room! The ambiance was charming, with its cozy decor and soothing background music. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. And let's talk about the eggs on toast - they were simply excellent. The eggs were perfectly cooked with a creamy yolk, and the toast was toasted to perfection, providing a satisfying crunch with each bite. Paired with a fragrant cup of tea from their extensive selection, it was a truly delightful culinary journey. I can't wait to visit again and indulge in more of their delectable offerings!

A great place for a cream tea! Stopped off for a cream tea and was not disappointed, everything about the cream tea was spot on especially the warm scones!! 👌 The staff were lovely and the young lad working there was so polite and well mannered. We only had one negative, they had run out of sausage rolls. This negative was instantly cancelled out when the lady behind the counter offered a cheese toasty as a replacement. The toasty was great and my son loved it. Very impressed a great afternoon tea, in a great setting. We would highly recommend it!! 👏

What a lovely tea room! We went for lunch for my friend's birthday and we weren't disappointed. Lovely fresh food, generous portions at a very reasonable price. A friendly welcome made the whole experience a lunchtime to remember.

This is a charming cosy cafe with the workings of an old mill inside and a water wheel outside (which they kindly showed us running) right by the stream with the black swans in Dawlish. My Mum and myself visited twice on our holiday and both times were great. The food is lovely at reasonable prices and the staff / service just as good. We sat inside but there are tables outside some under cover if you prefer and because it’s to the side of the cafe there aren’t people walking past next to where you are sitting. I think this is the nicest cafe we have been, highly recommend if you are in the area

The Ploughman's was good, as was the sausage roll. Unfortunately, the scone was dry. The inside of had the original mill gears, which was interesting and was decorated nicely. However, the atmosphere was diminished by the loud staff.

A great find, great atmosphere inside and out and quirky with the water wheel. Very friendly staff who were very pleasant. Happy to heat our daughters food (she is disabled so has to eat food we prepare). The food was fab, the club sandwich is a beast! Dogs are very welcome (ideal as we have three) with treats provided, prices are very reasonable. Highly Recommend.

Absolutely amazing find. We walked from teignmouth and stumbled upon the old mill tea room . All we wanted was a cream tea and it didn't disappoint. I am coeliac and they served the best homemade gluten free scone I have ever tried . They are so welcoming. We will definitely be back if in the area
