For the sake of cream tea - the walk from St. Endellion Church (Cornwall) to the Longcross Hotel

The best cream tea near St. Endellion Church is at the Longcross Hotel, just down the narrow road alongside the church. It is definitely worth the trek down the road for the freshly baked scones and the view from the outdoor terrace. The scones are baked daily in the hotel kitchen and are served from 11 am til 5 pm (or until they run out). They are light and flaky (and not overly sweet). Served with clotted cream and strawberry jam, they are a delight for the taste buds. The English tea served with the scones is very smooth and not tannic as some black teas can be.

Here is a photo with the scones presented the "Devon way" (with the clotted cream topped with jam) and the Cornish way (with the jam topped with the cream). 

The hotel boasts beautiful views from the terrace. Luckily we had sunny weather the day we went.

The hotel sits at the intersection of a few roads. The road from the church and a road leading to Trelights intersects there.

We entered the hotel from the road leading to Trelights. The hotel car park and the main entrance to the hotel are there. To the left of the main entrance is the terrace where we sat. The terrace has covered seating and open air seating.

How about these scones?
