コノピシュチェ城でアフタヌーンティー：貴族の伝統の味

Karlštejn Is amazing castle And we had So great picnic here. So many various food And drinks. Great guide And a lot of history. Highlights was a secret tour.

Afternoon tea. Is usually a treat, crisp white linen, nice crockery, delicious sandwiches and pastries, warm jam and cream scones. All of these and nice surroundings combine to make it a special treat. Not so at Peckforton Castle. The room in which we were served our tea was more like a local cafe, dark and dreary, made to look worse as there was no white table linen, paper napkins and Formica topped tables. It lacked any sense of warmth or occasion. With regards to the food, the sandwiches were fresh but the fillings were sparse and would certainly have benefited from more filling. Whilst I know the pastries are meant to be delicate there is a huge difference between delicate and minuscule. In fairness the staff we spoke to were lovely but that I’m sorry to say was the most positive comment I could make. Sorry Peckforton Castle it really wasn’t worth the cost or the effort it took us to get there
