At the table

Devonshire tea with color, warmth, and a little old-world theatre.

Our cottage is known for freshly baked scones, floral china, thick cream, Australian-made jams, and knitted tea cosies that turn every pot into part of the room. Come for a quick cuppa, a full Grand Stand, or a small celebration tucked into one of the cosy rooms.
