My wife and I enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing day out and the highlight was a very enjoyable afternoon tea at the idyllic Normanton Park hotel.

Lovely afternoon tea.

Went for a birthday dinner, had excellent service and the food was utterly incredible. Venue is very beautiful too

Everything was perfect

We planned our tour for the Sunday afternoon, having to drive over 2hours one way, this trip was absolutely worth it! The Carr Taylor vineyard we visited was not only a beautiful location, the team of people working there have all been there for over 20 years and they live and breathe the spirit of family run business. So helpful, welcoming and accommodating. We were running late but that wasn’t a problem, our lunch and the tour was swapped round so we didn’t miss out on either. The man walking us around is so knowledgeable and has the answer for all questions possible. Wine tasting was amazing and you can learn a thing or two about the wines! Our lunch was also lovely. Highly recommend the present, it was an awesome afternoon for a couple/family

We loved this place. Ash, who took the tour, was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was an eye-opener for us regarding the trials and tribulations encountered with the weather on those grape vines, as well as issues with the wildlife. I repeat, loved it. His enthusiasm was infectious. Great trip.

The guy who did the tour of the vineyard was excellent , tasting up to 5 wines the lunch was cheese ,pork pies salad and cut french stick buffet help yourself but had to buy any drinks with it , otherwise good

Great fun ! learnt a lot about making and tasting the cocktails maximum of 8 people All had a fabulous afternoon

We were lucky to have the weather on our side - lovely warm sunshine which showed off the magnificent location - stunning country house with absolutely beautiful gardens - sat on the terrace and all we could hear was the birdsong - goat could mot have been friendlier or any more efficient - bottomless tea and coffee and just the right amount of attention to our needs - delicious food, all very fresh, including warm scones. Perfect quintessentially English way to spend a sunny afternoon.
