Rhylstone Gardens Tea Room

Been there many times over the years. Great food, friendly staff with the added bonus of a challenging crazy golf course

Myself and my family visited her today, twice, the first occasion to play crazy golf, which was fun. On ending our game, and on seeing that cream teas were avalable we decided to return, after a walk around the gardens. On our return my wife order two cream teas, I didn 't fancy one myself.... On their arrival, the tea pot was huge, and their were two rather large scone, my wife said, she certainly could not manage both scones or all the tea, so she asked if I wanted some, so I asked the young girl serving for extra cups, she cam back with two plate, which I said thank you, but we wanted two Cup, she then very bluntly, replied in such an Manor, she said if you want more cups you should buy another tea for two, as it meant for tea for two. I was shocked by how she spoke to me, which was a shame and spoilt our whole experience of the visit. Now I must stress it wasn 't the fact of buy addition items, the cost was irrelevant, but considering the amount that was supplied, and the volume of tea was enough for about 6 cups...... I would recommend the crazy golf, and the cream teas, but certainly don 't dare ask for more cups, otherwise your get the Roth from the staff. I message the rhystone, and the reply was tea for two, was for two only and was thier policy not to supply more Cup,....

Simple but perfectly executed menu. Highly recommend the savoury tea what’s not to love about warm homemade cheese scones with cheese and chutney. Crazy golf is fun with amusing local influence to most holes. Setting is amazing relaxed and colourful Great afternoon

After walking the step route down with pushchair for lunch we discovered the kitchen was shut and not food available. A sign before we walked down would have been appreciated! The garden itself is pretty but very small and mainly taken up with the golf course. And check opening times as it’s not open everyday. Disappointing

Always one of the highlights of our family holiday! Crazy golf is great fun, the gardens are pretty, the staff are friendly and the refreshments are good quality and reasonably priced (with lots of gluten free); what’s not to like? Unfortunately opening hours are more limited at the moment (weekends only) due to owner’s ill health Get Well Soon. Well worth buying the Murder Mystery which is written by a very talented member of staff. It involves a fairly short walk which includes Shanklin Old Village we discovered places we’ve never found before! and is good fun with a great prize. We’ll be back!
