What an amazing experience. Baking scones with Olivia in her beautiful home was one of the highlights of our trip. My adult daughter and I were joined by another couple. After baking , we sat and enjoyed our scones and tea sandwiches with a pot of tea and wonderful conversation. Highly recommend

Olivia was an amazing host and instructor. She welcomed us into her beautiful home. Her teaching style was informative and easy to follow. We ended the day eating scones that we baked, clotted cream, and jam at her family table. What a treat!

      My mother and I had such a wonderful time at this baking experience and a huge part of that was thanks to our host Olivia. We were embarrassingly almost half an hour late due to my poor time management skills yet Olivia along with the other guests was incredibly gracious and welcoming when we arrived. She immediately put us at ease and made us feel like we had not missed a thing. The baking instruction was clear, fun, and delicious and we learned so many helpful tips for making perfect scones. But just as memorable was the conversation. Olivia created such a warm and relaxed environment that it felt like spending an afternoon with friends. The food was fantastic, the tea was lovely, and the entire experience was one of the most charming highlights of our trip. We highly recommend this experience especially with Olivia as your host!

      We recently attended a wonderful scone-making class with Olivia, and it was such a delightful experience from start to finish. Olivia was a fantastic instructor—patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about baking. She walked us through each step of the process, sharing helpful tips that made it easy to create light, buttery, perfectly baked scones. As if the scones weren’t enough, we also enjoyed the cucumber sandwiches that we created that added a lovely touch to the afternoon. It truly felt like a proper tea experience. What made the class even more special was the warm, relaxed atmosphere. Between mixing dough and enjoying the treats, the group fell into delightful conversations about the weather, schooling, and even future travel plans. It felt less like a class and more like a gathering of friends who simply happened to be learning how to bake together. I left with delicious scones, new baking skills, and a very pleasant afternoon to remember. Highly recommend Olivia’s class to anyone who enjoys good food, great company, and learning something new.

      Less than expected.

      It was just pretty good. We had to walk through a questionable area of town, so I’d suggest taking an uber. We were promised recipes via email, but they were never received. So, all my friends and I were a bit disappointed.

      Response from Host, Nov 2025

      Hi Kelly, I am sorry you were disappointed, I did send you the recipe, with a full history of afternoon tea, over the Viator system. I can only apologise if you did not receive it. Nobody else seem to have ahd the issue so it may be worth checking your junk mail. Olivia

      I am so glad you enjoyed it.

      Great with my Granddaughter.

      We had a wonderful time in our Host’s home making the MOST Delicious scones. The feeling was comfortable and welcoming. I went with my 7 year old Granddaughter who loves baking and she was treated with kindness and gentleness. It was really nice to get a bit of history on Tea time and to sit down together and put it all together with clotted cream and jam. Mmmmm. We made both scones and lovely memories.

      Very fun and interactive!...

      Olivia was very friendly and her home was lovely and beautiful. There were two more ladies we met and it was perfect afternoon, making scones and cucumber sandwiches together. Olivia baked her lemon drizzle in advance and it was super delicious too! Definitely recommend it if you want to try something different and relaxing in a small group. Even if you’re not a fluent English speaker, you will have a great time. Thank you so much for having us.😊

      Such a Great Afternoon!

      We had the best time with Olivia. She made us feel so welcome and we had such a lovely time chatting while we made the most delicious scones and cucumber sandwiches. Olivia was a perfect hostess and this was the perfect way to wrap up our UK adventure. Highly recommend!
