With some saying breakfast is the most important meal of the day we aim to offer something to suit everyone with a selection of fresh fruit, natural yoghurt, cereals and choice of cooked breakfast. We happily cater for lactose intolerant, gluten free, vegan and vegetarian diets and please let us know if you have any specific requirements. Breakfast is served from 8 – 8.30. If you require an early start let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.

If you would rather enjoy a lie in and we’re happy to offer either bacon, sausage or vegetarian sausage sandwich with tea/ coffee in your room or to takeaway as an alternative.

Packed lunches can be provided on request for £6 and we are happy to fill your flask for free with tea, coffee or hot chocolate.
