A warm welcome awaits you at our cosy Victorian lakeside tea-room
Here you can enjoy delicious homemade cakes, cream teas and ice-creams. Spot the 500 deer in the park and see the elegant swans gliding across the water.
Abbey tea-room

Our newest tea-room comes with a great view of the Abbey.

Choose peat free plants
All of our plants are grown for us locally in peat free compost.
Peat bogs are home to some unique mosses and insects. Extracting peat damages peatland habitats and wildlife, and releases harmful CO2 emissions.
