Dearest makers of the festive season,

Upon arrival in the charming Appleton Suite (with easy ground-floor access), you will be welcomed with your choice of tea, coffee, or locally sourced cordial, along with a delicious festive pastry to begin the day in proper Christmas style.

This season brings a few extra delightful touches: • Guests will be seated at beautiful round tables, perfect for crafting and conversation • Our Christmas afternoon tea will be served on elegant tiered stands • We are delighted to offer a new and improved vegetarian and gluten-free selection, ensuring everyone may indulge in the festivities
