The Chichester Harbour Hotel, West Sussex

Located in the heart of Chichester, The Harbour Hotel is in a prime position for you to head out and explore the cathedral after having satisfied your every afternoon tea desire. Or, why not have a nosy around the premium wine cellar next door and purchase a tipple for later on that evening?
Rhinefield House, The New Forest

What better way to round off a long day hiking in the New Forest, than to satisfy the appetite with afternoon tea. Known locally as the 'jewel in the forest', this place has everything you could possibly wish for in terms of teatime delights.

How about high tea with a view of the sea? It doesn't get much better than that. Down in Cornwall, at the Talland Bay Hotel, that is precisely what they offer. Added to that, the adjoining beach is dog friendly, so after sampling a selection of the many delights Cornwall has to offer, you and your pooch can head down to the beach to walk off all that cake.
The Sambling, The Lake District

Relax in the elegant lounge and choose from a vast selection of black, herbal and green teas paired with delicious variety of savoury delights. Finish off with sweet treats including a delicate strawberry and white chocolate macaroon.

How about afternoon tea with a Scottish twist? At The Glasshouse in Edinburgh this British classic is served with traditional Scottish cuisine instead. And, it's a wee bit delicious! Try for yourself.
