It's a magical drive in the snow to the castle. What a peaceful, beautiful, private and romatic experience driving up to and entering the castle. So inviting and warm inside with the gas fireplace and woodpaneled walls. There are two tea rooms. I was in the one with the soft green walls with white trim. It's a christian retreat and organization so there's no champagne tea, only a mocktail version. There was a beautiful menu and wonderful selection of teas to choose from... herbal, white, green, black, and many variations. The pumpkin soup, first, the salad both very good. The three tier tray came next... The lamb sandwich on a brioche bun was hearty, delicious, moist and perfect. The empanada with red pepper sauce unique and interesting. The scones were a dissapointment as the desserts. There was a cranvberry scone and a pumpkin scone. i think having a traditional scone.. I knock a killer scone out of the park with the King Arther Flour cream scone recipe.. flaky tender. These were more dense. And there was no variation of clotted cream or traditional butter. Whipped cream and cream cheese spread. I make a quick clotted cream recipe with a litttle cream cheese that still tastes like clotted cream and easy to make and save for later. Even with seasonal teas I would have one of the two scones being a traditional one year round that's top shelf recipe. Two desserts. No one ate the mint filling layer on the brownie petitfour.. .it was thick and no one like the egg nog mini cheesecakes. Not true cheesecake. Maybe for scones and desserts maybe less creative and more traditional and delicious. I still will go back and enjoy the beautiful space, the grounds which are only accessible by having a tea reservation or a night at the hotel. IT's worth it! Because it's exeception i had very picky standards for the tea.
