Afternoon Tea in Lake District

Beautiful setting, friendly and welcoming staff and an excellent afternoon tea which I often struggle to find as I'm gluten free. Thank you.

A delicious afternoon tea in a delightful setting, overlooking the Manor gardens. Excellent service too

Everything about this afternoon tea experience was 5*. The setting is wonderful - despite being there on a rainy day this did not detract from the whole experience. The food was lovely and very original and the service was so friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous dog-friendly setting, fast and welcoming service, delicious pretty food with not your standard selection of patisseries.

Beautiful place and stunning views. Fantastic service and food. It couldn’t have been any better and was thoroughly enjoyed.

Thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea in the beautiful setting the hotel offers

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea. The food was imaginative, for example the mini fish and chips, which were delicious. It was all very tasty and beautifully presented on the unusual wooden stand. I particularly loved having 5 different cakes/desserts, which were all gorgeous! One small point, the scones were very good, but it would have been nice to have a choice of plain or fruit scones. The setting was very comfortable and attractive. Briery Wood is definitely recommended, though the Red Letter Days booking system was awful - which was no fault at all of Briery Wood.

I took a friend. We are both coeliac and we were catered for with no problems. I would have liked another pot of tea offered to us but that's trivial. We both really enjoyed the lovely surroundings. The staff were very helpful and efficient .

All the staff were very warm and welcoming and provided a beautiful Afternoon tea with views over Lake Windermere. We were very lucky to get such stunning weather. Thankyou all at Merewood Country House Hotel for making my birthday celebration extra special
