Afternoon Tea Review

Stayed: December, travelled with friends

“Had a fabulous afternoon tea here on 15 December. The hotel has a lovely relaxing feel to it. The seating is well spaced and very comfortable. The staff could not be more helpful. The tea is just devine. Open Turkey, Salmon and Duck pate sandwiches, tiny scones with homemade raspberry jam, mince pies with beautifully crisp perfect pastry, smoothie, brownie, cheesecake and more. As much tea as you need. Perfect.
I will go back soon. Just love it.
The location is great for shopping too. The staff are welcoming and helpful too. Can’t wait for next trip here.”
