Afternoon Tea is the ultimate indulgence, made famous by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840.
The Duchess would find herself hungry around four o’clock in the afternoon due to the long period between lunch and the fashionably late dinner which was usually served around 8pm. She began to request a tray of tea, bread and butter, and cake be brought to her room and after a while, this habit became so relaxing and indulgent that she invited the other ladies of the area to join her.

“Today we stopped for lunch as we were heading further north, and found the welcome, the food and the service were excellent. The grounds with the beautifully colourful turning leaves were stunning.”Howard S
