How long for afternoon tea at GF?

[GEM]

If you've done the afternoon tea at the GF, how long did you spend there? For our trip in December, my sister and I have a PS for the tea at 2p.m. and then appointments for massages at 3:30p.m. However, we have to arrive at the spa by 3:15p.m. Is that enough time? I was thinking that the tea would maybe take about an hour and then we would have about fifteen minutes to wander over to the spa. Does that sound reasonable? I don't want to be too rushed, but I don't want to end up waiting around in between, either. Should I move the massage appointments back a little, or will we be fine. Any thoughts?

That sounds perfect. Actually if I remember correctly, they have 3 seatings for the tea-2:00, 3:15, and 4:30. I don't know how they'd do it, but since they have another seating at 3:15, they'd discourage you from staying after about 3:00. I've been there twice, both times at 4:30, I'm a slow eater, yet always out by 5:45 without feeling rushed.

You will probably have enough time to do this - but I would actually suggest having the massage before the tea if your schedule allows. It may be uncomfortable to have a massage if you are too full from eating scrumptious sandwiches and pastries. Also, the tea would be a great way to extend the relaxing feeling you have after a massage treatment.

I agree with having the massage first. I think you have allowed enough time, but I was stuffed after our "tea", I don't think I would have wanted a massage afterwards

I hope they don't "kick you out" at 3...With all the food they serve you how can anyone eat it all, at a relaxed pace, in an hour.
