Afternoon tea in warwickshire

chickenpants

I am looking to buy my mum a gift along these lines to say thank you for helping out with my daughters while I have been in hospital for a month. Does anyone know of anywhere good within the price range of up to a max of £40? Or anything similar? She is not a spa type of person and never treats herself to anything so thought this would be a good gift for her and my stepdad.

I have found coombe abbey as an option, just wondered if anyone knew of any other suggestions or had experienced anywhere that was particularly good and that they would recommend?

I booked through this site when I needed to book something in the summer. got a bargain 2 for 1 so we could push the boat out a little further.

Walton Hall, near Wellesbourne does a gorgeous afternoon tea in a stately home setting.


(A family member works there, so must admit to some bias)

I thoroughly recommend Coombe Abbey

Coombe Abbey is really good, or it you go just over the border, Fawsley Hall is also excellent.

I stayed in Coombe Abbey a couple of years ago for work and it was a lovely place, it'd be a really nice place to have afternoon tea.

Coombe Abbey afternoon tea is about £18 per person. You need to book though!

I'm going in jan can't wait!

There is a really lovely cafe in Leamington called Vinteas behind the Royal Priors - all done out vintage style proper tea leaves in pots with strainers and amazing cakes! probably a tiny bit dearer than an ordinary cafe but really really lovely!!

Another vote for Coombe Abbey - as you're going for afternoon tea you get free parking so you can go for a walk round the Country Park after.

Friend recently went to Vinteas in Leamington and loved it.

Certain that you could find some lovely places in Stratford

I didn't know parking was free if you have afternoon tea. Otherwise it is about £3.60.

My other son works at the Arden in Stratford, but that is very expensive I think....( I get Mum rates haha ! free !! )

Having sampled Afternoon Tea at both Coombe Abbey and Fawsley Hall I would recommend Coombe Abbey as the better 'tea'.

Fawsley Hall has a wonderful main hall to sit in but we were in armchairs and not sat at a table so it wasn't so comfortable to eat, the food also wasn't quite as good.

Both would make a nice present though. Depending on where you are in Warwickshire you might also want to consider Kilworth House, tea in the Orangery is lovely.
