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. A visitor recently rated it one of the top 5 things she had done during her visit to the UK.
