5 mins walk to Mount Nelson for the “best cream tea ever”
The Mount Nelson’s cream scones are a timeless delight—warm, feather-light, and perfectly paired with rich clotted cream and homemade jam, making afternoon tea feel effortlessly elegant. Enjoyed in the hotel’s beautiful gardens; rolling lawns, ancient trees, the soft hum of fountains – each bite unhurried, indulgent, real old-world luxury the Mount Nelson is famous for.
