Afternoon Tea Breaks at Legacy Hotels

Step into a timeless British tradition with a delightful Afternoon Tea escape at Legacy Hotels.

First introduced in 1840 by Anna Russell, Duchess of Bedford, afternoon tea began as a simple indulgence to bridge the long hours between lunch and dinner. Today, it remains one of Britain’s most cherished rituals—an experience to be savoured, shared, and enjoyed at leisure.

On arrival, you’ll be welcomed into the comfort of our lounge to enjoy a beautifully presented traditional afternoon tea. Indulge in freshly baked scones served with clotted cream and preserves, a selection of delicate finger sandwiches, and an array of homemade cakes, all accompanied by your choice of fine teas or freshly brewed coffee.

After a relaxing afternoon, retreat to your comfortable room for an overnight stay, and awake the following morning to a hearty full English breakfast.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply treating yourself, our Afternoon Tea break offers the perfect blend of indulgence, tradition, and relaxation.
