Indulge in a delightful afternoon tea experience, surrounded by the beautiful gardens of a thatched cottage located in the heart of Truro's countryside in Cornwall. We are offering vouchers for two people to enjoy either a traditional Cornish afternoon tea or cream tea, with a glass of bubbly upon arrival to add a touch of luxury to your experience.
The location is a serene and calming place with a warm and cosy atmosphere. You will be staying at a Grade II listed thatched cottage constructed in 1600, surrounded by beautiful flowers, plants, trees, and the sound of birds chirping. The cottage is situated on a country lane in the village of Ponsanooth, just off the main road that connects Redruth to Falmouth.
The Cornish cream tea features freshly baked scones served with clotted cream, strawberry jam, and a choice of tea blend. The full afternoon tea includes sweet and savoury treats, as well as traditional finger sandwiches.
