Kitley House And - South Hams

It was our parents 50th golden wedding anniversary and we had exclusive use of the Regency room. We were allowed to decorate the room. The lady looking after us was very helpful. there was 18 of us and we were having a mix of afternoon tea and cream teas. Everything was lovely. The scones came out warm there was a good selection and plenty to eat, what was leftover was boxed up for us to take away. I would definitely recommend Kitley house for a celebratory afternoon tea

We booked afternoon tea to coincide with our visit to the Yealmpton Show. It was our first visit and the venue is stunning. Views from the house were amazing. The afternoon tea was lovely and the staff were very attentive and helpful. There was no problem refilling the teapot and getting more cream etc. The staff are very knowledgeable about the history of the house and pleased to provide information. We wandered around the delightful house and grounds and decided it would definitely be on the list of venues should our daughter and her boyfriend ever get around to marrying!

Waited almost an hour for a sandwich at lunchtime. Politely reminded the manager we were waiting and was told it was on its way. Continued waiting until finally gave up and walked out.

Setting is fantastic..The view down the valley to river from fountain to landscaped pastures was ideal. I was impressed from the long winding drive to the gravelled forecourt which set off the magnificent grade1 Kitley House.The interior was well preserved with a touch of Georgian elegance. I loved the timber floors the staircase and comfortable uncluttered .As it was an unplanned visit.We knew we were too late for lunch so settled for a cream tea. The scones were warm and how can you criticise clotted cream and strawberry jam? A proper devon cream tea.The drinks we had at the bar were very reasonably priced although there was no beer on tap left.We thought the price was a little dear .The food being served for lunch looked uni nspiring don't think we will go back for that.

Went for birthday celebration, not overly impressed, looks posh but isn't really...came home and had a sandwich....
