Had a very lovely afternoon tea. Party of 8 had the breakfast room all to ourselves, complete with gorgeous Chiristmas tree. Really put us in the festive mood. Food delicious and endless amounts of tea was great! Staff were very attentive and welcoming without being overbearing. The only reason it never got 5 stars was because of a wedding photographer at the main entrance. We waited patiently in the biting cold for a chance to get in and, during a changeover in bridal party arrangements, we took the opportunity to squeeze past everyone. Only for the rude photographer to shout that we could get in if we hurried up! We were waiting for 2 others to arrive and he said the same thing to them. Very rude!! Btw the bride looked beautiful.
