Cream Tea at the Longcross Hotel in Trelights, Cornwall UK

Trelights is a residential area near Port Quin in Cornwall. The Longcross hotel is the only hotel in the vicinity. I highly recommend their cream teas, served from 3:00 - 5:30 pm. The scones (baked there) are the best I have ever had. Light and fluffy. Get there right as they open at 3 pm or they may run out of scones.
To whet your appetite 
Served with clotted cream and strawberry jam. Coffee or tea included.

Here is the Cornish way of dressing your scones - with jam topped with clotted cream. (The other way around with cream then jam, "the Devon way", is gauche.)

Aren't you hungry now?
