An absolute must, particularly after the guided tour! Make sure to book both in advance. Special thanks to Carla and Diego, who made my first-afternoon-tea-time ever so memorable and enjoyable.

I had earl grey tea and I think the water was just luke warm resulting in such a weak brew that the tea had almost no colour or flavour.
We tried the vegetarian/vegan afternoon teas - maybe the meat based version is better. But, at £49 per person it's totally...
