We had an amazing morning at the Manor house enjoying the High Tea and our visit to the tasting room. The beauty of the place with the friendly and excellent service we received made the visit so memorable. The staff went the extra mile to make us feel at home. They even arrange with their shuttle to bring us peanut brittle and fudge from L'ormarins Deli. With delicious treats of the high tea, good wine and a beautiful setting you leave there very content. - Sven
