Every meal is cooked to order and lovingly prepared on our traditional AGA, ensuring a truly delicious start to your day.
How It Works
To make your morning seamless, we kindly ask you to fill out your breakfast order form the evening before and leave it in the flowerpot outside your door before retiring for the night. Your breakfasts can be served to your bedroom or in the main breakfast room. We’ve designed our menu to suit a wide range of tastes, and if you have a special request, we’re happy to accommodate it—just let us know, ideally with 24 hours’ notice.
