I SHOPPED AROUND AND ENJOYED SEVERAL OF THE TEAROOMS IN THE AREA. I HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. WE WERE IN THE SHOP DURING AT TIME THAT THE OWNERS WERE UNDER GREAT PERSONAL STRESS, YET EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT DURING OUR TEA TIME. THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH WAYS TO EXPRESS THE PLEASURE MY DAUGHTERS AND I HAD. WITH OUT A DOUBT THERE IS NOT ANY TEA THAT COMPARES WITH THE STRAWBERRY BLEND THEY SERVE ICED. IT IS WORTH THE EXTRA COST TO ADD IT TO YOUR HIGH TEA. WE FOUND THAT THE TRAY WAS FULL OF DELIGHTFUL SANDWICHES, SCONES FROM HEAVEN AND THE DESERTS WERE TO DIE FOR! THE ATMOSPHERE IS INVITING AND COMFORTABLE. HOWEVER I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE POWDER ROOM...NOT VERY NICE AT ALL. AFTER ALL THE GREAT TEA EVEN THE BEST MUST RELIEVE THEMSELVES. THE MOP & BUCKET TOOK UP MOST OF THE LEG ROOM IN THE TINY POWDER ROOM, WHICH WAS NOT DECORATED LIKE EVERY OTHER ROOM IN THE BUILDING. HOWEVER, THIS IS ONE SMALL ROOM AMONG MANY BEAUTIFUL ONES. THIS IS THE TEAROOM I WOULD CHOOSE TO HOST MY DAUGHTERS BABY SHOWER. THANK YOU FOR GIVING US A WONDERFUL PLACE TO ESCAPE THE HARSHNESS OF THE DAILY LIFE, AN AFTERNOON TEA AT THE SOUTHERN BELLES CAN MAKE IT ALL BETTER
Tearoom response:
Dear Ms Strength,
What a wonderful description and review regarding the tea time you experienced with your daughters! We are very humbled that you chose us and enjoyed yourselves. Yes, it was a stressful time but my Son's surgery went smoothly and is doing well now!
One thing I would like to address....the Bathroom! We are in the process of expanding our powder room into double the size as we redecorate and create another large tea area and a Little Princess Tea Cottage area on that side of our Cottage. We have a beautiful new sink vanity awaiting that and we have decorated our powder room so that it is presentable and clean, but not extra nice as we will be re-doing all of it. But, just to clarify something....we clean the floors in our bathrooms with a special cleaning machine and antiseptic and do not even have a 'bucket'in our tea room. We have a mop sink and a mop in our cleaning room next to the kitchen and keep the mop hung up between 'quick spills and general cleaning' in our kitchen. If we had a mp and a bucket, we would never leave it in the bathroom anyway! I am just wondering if maybe you got our bathroom mixed up with another tea rooms as you were enjoying several tea rooms. I did ask the other staff, my husband and mother and like I had said, we don't even have a mop bucket! I hope this helps, as we don't mind any suggestions on improvements as no one is perfect, but we do strive to maintain the best tea room as we can!
We hope you had a Blessed Mothers Day and again thanks for your business and wonderful review!
