Guest Blogger Gail Howe on her "Best afternoon tea so far!" 





We were welcomed on arrival and shown to our table.We were told that we could have the table as long as we liked.
If we wanted to go for a walk or outside to have a drink that was fine.
They laid the table inside because of the wasps.
We had a whole menu of different teas with many varieties. Some chose
green tea, rooibos and others.
We chose the champagne afternoon tea as the champagne was £7 a glass.
Without the tea it would have been £14.

Sandwiches were excellent and more were brought without any extra cost.
We all had a plate each and they gave me mine without any salmon as I'm
allergic to fish and substituted the sandwich for a vegetarian one.
We also had a plate of cakes each which were delicious.
We decided to walk round the grounds before the scones and this was no problem.
The grounds were lovely and we sat outside and had a glass of prosecco.
The scones were freshly baked and served with jam and clotted cream.


More tea was served and cold drinks at no extra cost.
There were beautiful flowers everywhere.


We all had an amazing day and would go there again ! It was a real treat.
