Fantastic afternoon tea. Catered for me being gluten free it was delicious! Would definitely recommend.

The Dining Room offers a charming environment for afternoon tea. While some reviewers found the service and food to be lacking, others praised the friendly staff and delicious offerings. The quaint setting and attention to detail in presentation received high marks. Guests were pleased with the variety of options available, including gluten-free and vegan choices. Overall, The Dining Room seems to offer a delightful experience for those looking for a traditional afternoon tea in a lovely setting, complete with fresh sandwiches, warm scones, and tasty treats.
