“Bee Enchanted” this holiday season and enjoy the enduring tradition of afternoon tea in a festive setting, complete with lit fireplaces and gingerbread houses. The holiday season is often hectic and stressful; imagine stepping back in time to an unhurried world where you can relax, appreciate the company of family and friends, and enjoy the true meaning of the holidays. Feel yourself unwind as you are pampered with delicious sweet and savory fare in a beautiful country setting filled with exquisite harp music by Allyn Donath.
Visiting the Bee and Thistle Inn for Holiday Tea is truly an unforgettable experience. The inn is tastefully decorated from top to bottom with warm fires glowing in the fireplaces; twinkling trees chock full of ornaments; and swags of lush garland throughout the grand house. Children’s faces light up when they see The Bee’s famous candy and gingerbread houses inhabited by tiny figurines and filled with amazing detail.
Guests are always spellbound by the beautiful decorations. Many come back yearly to see the handmade gingerbread and candy houses, making tea at The Bee a family tradition. It’s a great opportunity to reconnect with special friends and take a break from the chaos of the holiday rush. Spending quality time with the people we love is what the holidays are all about.
