Rectory Tea Rooms

About

Nestled in the picturesque parish of Morwenstow on Cornwall’s rugged North coast, the Rectory Farm Tearooms offer a truly idyllic retreat for tea lovers and travellers alike. The tearoom sits in a 13th‑century building that has been lovingly preserved, featuring antique furnishings, slate floors and original oak beams salvaged from wrecked ships. Guests enjoy sweeping Atlantic vistas from the front doorway and the nearby cliffs, making the tearoom a perfect spot to unwind after a walk along the coast. The menu blends classic comforts with a spectrum of special dietary options. From the celebrated Cornish Cream Teas (available in regular, gluten‑free and vegan varieties) to freshly baked scones, cakes, quiches and savory pasties, every dish is homemade on the premises. A dedicated gluten‑free menu and a children’s selection cater to families and those with specific dietary needs. Weekend afternoons, especially in the peak tourist season, run a popular booking window because tables fill up quickly; therefore a minimum 24‑hour notice is advised. The tearoom is embraced by several heritage sites and walks. Guests are encouraged to explore the historic St. Morwenna and St. John the Baptist Church, take a stroll to Hawker’s Hut – a National Trust site – or admire the stunning scenery along the South West Coast Path. With Tripadvisor and local‑guide accolades, the Rectory Farm Tearooms have become a celebrated stop for those seeking authentic Cornish hospitality and a moment of quiet amidst the sea air.
