Hotel breakfast.

Post by No Ney Never » Fri Jul 18, 2025 12:26 pm

One of the great features of staying in a hotel or B&B.
What's the best you've experienced?

The Hotel in Perth where we stayed after the St Johnstone friendly under Coyle was bloody marvelous. 4 kinds of sausage!

Aside from that, Estival Torrequebrada and Riu Costa del Sol were both enjoyable breakfasts, not least for the views!

I wholeheartedly agree with this.
My favourite is the Traquair Arms, Innerleithen Scotland.
A fine specimen of a hotel breakfast.

The Sidmouth Arms Upottery Devon. This was over 40 years ago and it still ranks as the biggest breakfast I have ever been given. I think it was 4 sausage, 4 rashers of bacon, 4 eggs, mushrooms, baked beans, fried tomatoes and black pudding. And they gave you all that without asking what you wanted for breakfast!!

None of these will be better than the full English breakfast at Gary Wilmot's wedding

Full Irish whilst fishing in Ireland.

Black pudding, white pudding, kidneys, even something made out of seaweed.

Marvellous.

Westin Grand Berlin.

A whole smoked salmon that you could slice bits off, champagne, caviar, in addition to an excellent cooked selection.

Not quite a hotel but the "Agnes Blackadder" halls of residence at St Andrews takes some beating. Fruit, cereals & different types of milk, fruit juice, lots of breads and pastries, porridge and a buffet containing the "Fully Monty" including Haggis. During the summer months when the students are away you can book rooms and it's superb value and a great location for the golf.

Can’t remember the name, but it was in bowness in the lakes during Covid. It was a full English delivered to our room because we still couldn’t fraternise. No silly portions, no gimmicks, just quality ingredients, cooked to perfection, fresh proper coffee and lovely OJ, two slices of toasted bloomer with lashings of lurpak. Drooling now thinking about it.
