Wow! What a treat. After a lovely walk along the river Stour working up an appetite and enjoying the beautiful countryside we arrived at Rose Cottage for our afternoon tea. We were greeted with a smile from our host Libby and shown to the beautiful dining room. The table was layed out ready with very quintessentially English crockery and looked amazing. The feast was then brought to the table. 3 tiers of cakes, scones and sandwiches  and a plate of hot sausage rolls and warm cheese straws. Delicious sandwiches with various fillings on freshly baked bread. All made with local produce. Eggs laid on site by the friendly hens in the garden. The sausage rolls and cheese straws are so good. In fact my mother in law stated the cheese straws are 'To die for'. They are really very good. A great selection of sweet treats. Lemon drizzle cake, Rocky road, mini Victoria sponge with apricot jam. Not forgetting a light and tasty fruit scone which you can fill with jam and clotted cream. We were absolutely stuffed at the end..but very happy. Such a lovely home and experience. Highly recommend a visit.  If you can also tie it in with a walk around the local area. Already taking about when we will go back.
