Testimonials
A big thank you for the afternoon tea provided for my family and myself. It was a special occasion and you made it extra special, starting with arranging the tea prior to arriving, the greeting on arrival, friendly service, quality of food and the relaxed atmosphere. I often stay with you and will certainly be booking again very soon. Thank you to all concerned.
