We really enjoyed the afternoon tea and highly recommend it. Beautiful setting and staff really lovely. We did not feel rushed and were able to take our time and enjoy it. I was also celebrating my birthday and they brought out a little chocolate tart with happy birthday and a candle, which was such a lovely touch and made the experience even more special.
