Wonderful experience

We had a fascinating visit to the beautiful St Paul's Cathedral and thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent there. Views over London from the top of the dome were amazing and the architecture and richness of decoration in the building itself absolutely stunning.

Enjoyable day out

Alnwick Gardens has lots to offer in a very easy to navigate and compact area. The water features are beguiling and cleverly done. We visited on a warm spring day which was ideal and the afternoon tea surpassed expectations, served by friendly and efficient staff.

Lovely cream tea and guided tour

I was in two minds about booking this for my mother having read some of the reviews. However I'm so glad I did. The owner and her cousin were so friendly, helpful and welcoming. The scones were home made and absolutely delicious, with plenty of cream and ham. The tour was about 1.5 to 1.75 hours, there were plenty of places for my mother sit on the way around. John was very knowledgeable and engaging. We both had aively time, thank you.
