McFarland House

We stopped by here as part of our passes for the Niagara Parks Heritage sites. The property has a formal afternoon tea option Thursday- Sunday. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and I found that although not listed on their menu, they have gluten friendly options - bread, scones and brownies - in addition to a VERY large selection of loose leaf teas. It was lovely to be able to order egg salad sandwiches and scones to eat alongside by family while we enjoyed afternoon tea in their solarium. The staff emphasized that they did not have a separate preparation area but took all the precautions possible. It was such an unexpected and enjoyable experience and we will definitely return when we are back in the area!
