Our sales team recently visited Sotherton Tea Room for our holiday outing, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment we stepped in, the charming atmosphere transported us to another era, making it a truly unique and memorable experience. The attention to detail in the decor, the warm hospitality of the staff, and the perfectly curated tea selections set the tone for an elegant and relaxing afternoon. The food was exceptional—delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream, and a variety of sweet treats that were almost too beautiful to eat. For a team looking to do something out of the box, this is an excellent choice. It’s not just tea; it’s an experience that fosters connection, laughter, and a break from the usual. We highly recommend Sotherton Tea Room for anyone planning a holiday gathering, team outing, or even just a special treat for yourself. We’ll definitely be back! 🎄☕

It’s our second year at the Mansion for Dec/Sunday brunch. What I can say is that it’s an experience. Beautiful venue and honestly just breathtaking. The food, staff, accommodations, outside space, etc. I am a local but I do try to bring a new friend each year to see the beauty of this place. Truly elegant. You can walk around the entire Mansion, but the suites that are upstairs are special. Just WOW!! Pictures don’t really show all the details of each room on all 3 floors. We’ll be back next year. But we are hoping the cost doesn’t price us out. There was about a 30% increase from the previous year. Food and dessert was still wonderful and we justified the increased cost because it’s just a beautiful, magical place. Wedding or big party, this is your place. Location is truly deep in the delta, be careful on those backroads, drive slow and bring a DD.
