Breakfast is regarded as the highlight of their stay by many of our guests. Full English breakfast is included in the room rate.

At the time of booking guests are invited to say whether they have any special dietary requirements, including foods to avoid as well as any special requests for particular items, which we will always do our best to provide. Only top quality ingredients are used, organic where obtainable.

Breakfast is normally served in the conservatory (see photos), but on fine mornings many guests prefer to take breakfast outside on the patio. A large gazebo provides shade.
