Comments:  
Not your usual biker's hang out but a very nice place to take the missus and have a larney breakfast. So, BE NICE!

Slightly on the expensive side , but well worth it.  The price includes a full continental buffet and Hot meals from the waitrons.  Typical buffet  includes Fresh fruit, Cheese, Pastries, Flapjacks, Cereals, Yoghurts and more.  The hot meal has Kippers, Porridge, Bacon, Sausage, Eggs (as you like) and  Kidneys.  Fruit Juices / Coffees and a selection of Twining teas included.

This is a MEAL!

Their Kitchen stops making breakfast at 09h00 - so try to get there early.

After Breakfast, relax with the Sunday 'papers under the umbrellas and trees on the patio which looks out over the valley.  Wait long enough and the waiters will soon start asking you for your drinks order - tough life!
