We were gifted the 'Festive Afternoon Tea' in Rockhill House and it turned out to be one of the most perfect experiences I've ever had; and one we hope to repeat more in 2024! Due to a bit of a hectic year, I was lucky enough to manage to book it last minute for 30th December. From the booking, to the welcome, through the service and throughout the day, the staff were wonderful - very warm and welcoming; could not do enough for us; and even discussed the history of Rockhill House with us. The staff made us feel part of their family. The food was delicious and a beautiful display of some very tasty sandwiches and treats were presented to each of us, with all dietary needs catered for. All the little bites looked too tiny at initial glance... but turned out to be just right! Four sandwiches (my favourite was the prawn and salmon on wheaten bread); two scones with clotted cream and jam; four desserts; and four traybakes were accompanied by as many refills of a delicious tea that you could handle. I didn't try it myself, but my dad had coffee and said it was very good too. We were served our afternoon tea in the drawing room beside a big open fire and it was the most beautiful setting. With the dark, cold evening settling outside; to be inside in such sumptuous surroundings has probably been the most relaxed we all were for 2023. I, for one, could've happily stayed forever; and the staff and family seemed in no hurry to move us on. Unfortunately life started again, so we had to leave our fairytale experience behind; but not before we had a little wander around the house. It is absolutely beautiful; and would be perfect for a party or a wedding. Due to the time and the dark evening, we did not get a chance to wander around the grounds or take one of the trails. But sure that just gives us an excuse to return again...and again in 2024!! We had a wonderful, relaxing experience and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. Thank you so much Niall and all the staff. You really made our experience perfect.
