Afternoon Tea in the Cotswolds

Afternoon tea in the Cotswolds is a quintessentially English experience, combining tradition with the region's scenic charm. Many tea rooms, historic hotels, and country houses offer this indulgent treat, featuring a selection of fine teas, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, delicate finger sandwiches, and an array of sweet pastries. Set against the backdrop of the Cotswolds' rolling hills and picturesque villages, these venues often provide a cozy, intimate atmosphere, sometimes in grand manor houses or charming stone cottages. Whether enjoyed by a roaring fire in winter or in a garden during warmer months, afternoon tea in the Cotswolds is a delightful way to experience the region's elegance and hospitality.
