We went to the tearoom at 12.45pm (booked for 12.30) after a guided tour of the dolls rooms in the main house. We were greeted by the staff who couldn't have been more inviting and friendly. We was shown to our table and offered any hot or cold drinks we would like, we went for a pot of tea and was told we could have as much as we wanted and to just get their attention and they would accommodate our needs. The afternoon tea was put in the centre of the table and was one of the best we have had. (So regret not getting a photo before we started).

This will certainly not be our last visit to both the tower and the tearoom as the wife wants to do the house tour next.

Read moreAttended the ghost tour (Oct 2024) Amazing food and service on the ghost tour. The staff were incredible and the food was delicious, I really enjoyed my Vegan option of butter pie and cheese cake, my sister said her food was really tasty too. The ghost tour was fantastic, I really enjoyed being walked around the halls by the silent, black robed torch barers. The atmosphere was great, the stories told along the way where capitivating and the tour ended with tales in front of a big roaring fire. Would highly recommend to anyone fancying something a bit different! Will definitely be returning for other events. Thanks for...
