Very Disappointed with the whole day
Very pleasant staff in all facet’s, but the cream tea was poor, one tub of cream had mildew on it when my wife opened the tub, this was replaced and the scones were nice, overall the experience was a big let down, short journey on the train and the carriages need a lot maintenance and repairs inside
