Lilianfels, Blue Mountains

Lilianfels is located about a two minute drive from the Three Sisters. It is a hotel that also offers high tea.

There is also a back entrance and it seems like guests and diners can wonder freely through the lobby and dining area.

Although there was lovely outdoor seating, it was far too cold to do anything but take a seat in the plush indoor seating.

The dining part of the hotel is called The Lounge.

Given that we had just eaten lunch about forty minutes ago, suddenly my stomach wasn’t sure if it could handle an entire high tea.

Hence I was pleased to see that aside from the high tea, you could order scones by themselves.

We ordered a high tea to share, and two sets of scones.

I was very pleased indeed when the scones arrived! They were warm and nicely rounded, dusted with flour on top. The servings of jam and cream were generous – don’t you hate it when you constantly run out of jam and cream, having to ask for more? This is coming from someone who loves to slather jam and cream onto their scones.

The price was a highlight as well – two large scones, jam, cream AND choice of tea for only $15?

I’m sold.

I’m even more sold when the tea is presented in such a cute manner.

Each of us was given our own serving plate for the tea which meant that we had to get another table because it wouldn’t fit!

There were two tiers to the high tea for one person.

I had a few items to taste. The lemon meringue tart was delicious – the pastry short and crumbly.

We were all absolutely stuffed by the end of it.

I would definitely visit Lilianfels again, just for those scones!
