Lockdown Gift Ideas

What better way to treat someone than with an afternoon tea delivered straight to their front door? Maryville House B&B is offering their much-loved afternoon tea for collection or delivery on Saturdays. Simply pre-order by messaging Maryville House on Facebook (they often sell out due to high demand, so make sure to order early in the week). You can also order cakesicles (tasty cakes on an icelolly stick) and other baked treats – perfection!
