If you’re looking for ways to treat the mother figures in your life this March, here are our top suggestions for planning the perfect Mother’s Day in Devon.
Treat her to a cream tea
A traditional Devon Cream Tea is a wonderful treat any time of the year but you’ll find that there are often extra special ones on offer for Mother’s Day. For instance, Stuart Line Cruises are offering a Mother’s Day Cream Tea Cruise where you can indulge in a traditional Devon cream tea while cruising along the River Exe – it’s a great way to see a whole new side of Devon!
Alternatively, The Mole Resort in North Devon have a special Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea all week until the day itself. You can find out more and book here.
You’ll also find cream teas available at hotels, cafes and eateries around the county – so rest assured, wherever you go, you’re never too far from delicious home made scones, sweet jam and indulgent cream! Can’t make it to Devon for the day itself? Why not gift your mother figure a cream tea voucher? There are a host of places offering vouchers so you can enjoy whenever you like! Here are just some of the establishments offering cream tea vouchers:
Take her for lunch
