De huizen in Tudor-stijl hebben we niet gezien of überhaupt iets over gehoord laat staan van de geschiedenis van deze mooie plaats. Als laatste beloven ze dat je mensen van dichtbij theebladeren kan zien plukken, ook niks van gezien. Volgens de beschrijving duurt dit 8u wij waren na 3u klaar en werden weer afgezet. Zo zonde…”
