Willowbrook Manor English Tea

What an enchanting experience! I read about Willowbrook Manor in the Seattle Times a few months ago and told myself I would need to visit. I had a free weekend and booked a Tea and Tour for me, my son, and my sister. We loved it. It was magical - from choosing a teacup that spoke to us, to selecting a delicious tea, and eating the best scones. We ended our visit with an electric bike ride down the Cascade Trail, which was scenic and beautiful. The sun was shining, the temperature was pleasant, and it was a wonderful way to spend an early autumn day, I purchased scone mix and a tea sampler on my way out so I can attempt to replicate a tea party in my own home (I 100% know it will not hold a candle to the hospitality and charm Terry blessed us with - she is truly part of what makes Willowbrook Manor what it is). I’m looking forward to another Tea and Tour next summer season!

Had an amazing afternoon tea experience at Willowbrook Manor. Terry and the staff were so lovely and welcoming to all of their guests. It's a unique experience of having afternoon tea in someone's private, fairytale-esque home that is only opened to the public for special occasions. Everything from the food, tea, and atmosphere was wonderful. Would highly recommend!

Visiting here was a memorable experience for me. Everything from the tea selections to the British breakfast was outstanding. The manor is beautiful with hand crafted doors and a beautiful stairway. It was fun just waking the premises and engaging with staff and others. I highly recommend visiting here if you get the chance.

This was the best tea experience experience I've ever had. The house and the grounds were beautifully decorated.

Willowbrook Manor was an amazing experience! My group of gals were traveling from Phoenix, to Seattle, and wanted something really different to try, and we were bummed when we saw that Willowbrook was booked. But I decided to take a chance and call, and from the moment Terry got on the phone, she made sure she catered to us until the moment we finished tea! She was able to accommodate our group and made the whole experience unforgettable. The property was beautiful and you could tell it was loved and well taken care of. Would definitely go again if ever I travel to the state!

This is a great place for high tea. Everyone says the scones were so good. That is my one complaint. We each only got a half of a very small scone. Mine was really only 2-3 bites. I wanted more. I'm going back and hope my scone is better.

I had a great afternoon here! The Owner & Staff were prompt, courteous and kind, the food was fresh and tasted great.

There was a lot of food - soup, sandwich, of course a wonderfully textured scone and goodies! I went on a Friday afternoon and was quite glad I skipped breakfast. A wonderful experience for those that love tea ... there's even a small gift shop - call ahead or go online for more details.

A word of note - the tables are set with full length table cloths, so maybe not the best environment for an active toddler, but if you're someone that appreciates tea, or tea parties, you'll enjoy inside or outside in the tents.

This was a sad affair after having high tea in London. The experience starts off really nice with an amazing house and getting to choose your own cup for the tea from a large assortment of stylish tea cups. The grounds are excellent too, with a cottagecore look about it with lots of rustic chairs and benches to sit on.

But that's where the magic kind of ends. The tea variety was ok but didn't have the global variety and the unique blends I'm used to being surprised with. The food is also very carefully portioned. Normally high tea you can ask for more of your favorites once you've tried them. Here it was limited to one of each kind even though it wasn't cheaper. The atmosphere was also, you've had your food, now get out. They schedule for a new group every 2 hours, which on face value seems plenty. However they take a good 30-45 mins to get you the tea and food. So you really only get about an hour tops. It's also packed. Which means it's not so much relaxing as you're in every other person's conversation.

In conclusion, it's a decent imitation but at that price of around $50 per person, I expect the real version.

Amazing atmosphere, great tea and scones. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. We went on the bike ride after and the trail was beautiful. Great experience overall, I would recommend it to anyone.

Had a fabulous time at Willowbrook Manor today. The tea and scones were good with an amazing setting to enjoy them in. We then did the bike ride and had a peaceful ride with beautiful scenery along the way. Terri is an amazing hostess who was attentive to all our needs as well as so warm and welcoming.
