Vegetarian sausage and hash browns are available as alternatives to bacon and sausage and are served with your choice of eggs as well as mushrooms, tomato and baked beans.
Or for something different you can order filleted Scottish kippers (herring that have been smoked) served grilled. You can either eat them on their own or with an egg on top!!
For a hot drink, you can choose from a wonderful selection of teas, freshly prepared Cafetière ground regular or decaffeinated coffee or hot chocolate.
The breakfast room
Breakfast is served in the elegant refurbished breakfast room located on the ground floor, with a lovely big bay window overlooking the front of the house.
The Breakfast Room is a bright, airy room where you can see Fiona's collection of Mediterranean plates many of which were given as presents to Fiona by friends, family and guests.
There is a wonderful reproduction Victorian fireplace with mantelpiece, fire surround and grate with a large overmantel mirror reflecting the outside into the breakfast room with many of the Edwardian features still in place.
The breakfast room is also available by request in the evening if guests wish to order take-aways and eat them in the room at the tables rather than on your lap in the bedroom!
