Afternoon Tea

Afternoon tea seems to be enjoying a revival and Gilpin Lodge was written up in the Mail on Saturday as the ideal place to enjoy it: "An elegant tea at Gilpin Lodge is the perfect way to round off a Lake District walk. This Lakeland house offers a proper tea, including finger sandwiches and hot drop scones..." A word of warning – don't have afternoon tea if you are planning to have dinner before midnight!
