Review
“Lucy was brilliant throughout the process, always clear, helpful and polite. We felt like welcome guests. The room was set out beautifully. It was comfortable, with water jugs and a great range of teas. Booking for a day when the tea room was open was a real plus – the team loved the cakes!”
