Afternoon tea is quite a treat here you get a large pot of loose leaf tea , lovely finger sandwiches with hot fresh scones (accompanied by jam and clotted cream ) and even a slice of cake after!

Sylvain Boistuaud

Give the afternoon tea a try, it is definitely worth it. White peony and rosebud nicely comes along with sandwiches , scone with clotted cream , and a nice slice of lemon drizzle cake ! Yum!

Sally Farr
