Fantastic Festive Getaway!

festive afternoon tea beautiful library refreshed teas
Our group of friends booked our annual festive afternoon tea. There were five of us and we sat at a large window table in the beautiful Library. We were warmly greeted upon arrival, and the staff took great care of us throughout the afternoon (they even took group photos for us!). The food was lovely, with endless refills of teas and coffees.
The location was a bit outside the main attractions, requiring a longer walk.
