In fact when I studied in Aberdeen in the North of Scotland we would often drive to castles and do this, fresh homemade scones, strawberries, cream and tea. It was our little treat to ourselves after long days studying.
Check out the website of this 5 star castle it can be rented out, but its not cheap!... but we can dream. For those living in North Carolina or planning to visit be sure to go the The Biltmore Estate America's castle there's a winery and restaurant on site.
North Carolina also has wonderful vineyards often with restaurants.
Check your local area maybe there's a hidden gem like Myres castle in my parents neighbourhood and please share.....

The 16Th century castle is completely invisible from the road as it is hidden in the woods
highland cows grazing. Don’t be taken in by their friendly looks – the horns are very sharp
Have a great Memorial Day weekend, hope your all have time off work
Love Rebecca
A beautiful castle! My sister-in-law married a guy from Scotland and apparently his parents actually do live in a castle there. I hope we'll get to visit some day :)

ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful-never been to a castle before! Seen lots of palaces in India(you've got to visit Mysore).This is so cool though.
ReplyDeleteCan't blame your dad-the cakes must have been just too good ;)
