I always find it more difficult to rate a la carte breakfasts than buffets. With buffets, I can (and do, purely out of dedication to my readers!) sample lots of dishes. With a la carte, it’s obviously more a hit and miss story, where you are dependent on your one…
Having decided that I’m not into preparing breakfast for myself when I stay in a relatively expensive hotel (see my previous posting), I went to a nearby café. It was perfectly fine, friendly staff, very good service. I will not say that it was outstanding, but, given the type of…
For more than £200 per night, ”breakfast included”, this is what you get. Make your own breakfast. I did not and went to the nearest café instead. 0/10.

it is difficult to know how to rate the breakfast. Let me explain. This is an amazing hotel (five rooms in total in the former home of an antique loving pharmacist. It also houses a museum. Given its size, the breakfast is by necessity small, but it is a buffet.…
In a previous post I noted that the paradors tend to be similar, as are, therefore, their breakfasts. That being said, today’s breakfast was somewhat more disappointing than the others encountered on this trip. The bread continued to be unattractive, clearly not freshly baked. As previously, no vegetables for breakfast.…
