The most beautiful garden setting for a tea room you could imagine, flanked on one side by fields of aromatic lavendar. It is a work of art, tucked away from the crowds but highly esteemed by conoisseurs of cake. If you go nowhere else, pay a visit here. It is now open for an extended period up to December.
