We were so lucky to have lovely weather, but even if it had been raining, we'd have enjoyed sitting in the comfort of Linda's cabin watching the alpacas graze while we dined on absolutely delicious sweets and savories served on the most delicate china. Linda is a darling hostess, and the alpacas are quite a soothing presence. She had gone out of her way to make a dairy free cream for one of our guests, and had a separate tiered serving dish for his gluten and dairy free delectables. And all of that special preparation on just one day's notice!

A perfect event for a bridal party, a couple, teens, well behaved calm children, and anyone visiting the New Forest, Southampton, or Bournemouth. We brought or husbands with us and both of them enjoyed it as much as we did, so don't be afraid to bring the boys.
