What EILEENHY likes about The Captain's House Afternoon Tea:
Visited here recently and we enjoyed the cream teas. The gentleman happily supplied us with a pot of coffee instead of tea and it was very nice coffee. Lovely garden. Enjoyed the visit and do not understand the negative reviews. View all feedback. What Jane F doesn't like about The Captain's House Afternoon Tea:
Oh dear sadly all these reviews are right, terrible host. Almost asked for the money upfront. No choice of scones apparently he got sick of people picking the fruit out so plain or nothing. Definitely don't stop here!!! View all feedback.

Avoid this place at all costs. It's unfortunate that many people don't read reviews before going for afternoon tea, but you should definitely do so for this one...

I've never had to address the theory that coffee cannot be consumed in a summer tea garden, but on this occasion I did! Apparently it's the devil's work accordi...

We visited a restaurant today just for a cup of tea and coffee, as 'TEAS' is displayed in huge letters on the outside wall. The door was closed with a sign inst...
