What people say
“We had our first visit to Hemsworth Estate yesterday, to enjoy Mother’s Day High Tea. The venue was spotless, immaculately presented in keeping with its character and the age of the building. The food served was delicious and service attentive. Even the air was delicately fragrant with yesteryear scents of lavender and lily of the valley. We had a lovely time and can recommend others to pay this lovely hidden-away gem a visit, too. I can imagine the gardens in spring would be intoxicatingly beautiful. Can’t wait to go back and see for myself.” – Monica
