BREAKFAST

Breakfast is a very important part of our day at The Old Dower House and very much a leisurely affair. Served between 8am and 10am (£15 per head if not included in the price of your stay) you can enjoy a fresh fruit platter or our tasty pots of fruit compote and creamy Greek yoghurt topped with home-made nutty granola, then choose from our delicious and varied menu (see below for sample menu), which is served in our Range Room or directly to the Garden Retreat. All our meat and bread is sourced locally, our eggs are from our very own free range hens, fruit and veg from our very own orchard and veggie patch where possible and everything is cooked freshly to order. Take your time in front of the roaring log fire in the winter months or wander outside with your coffee when the sun is shining.

For that extra special lazy lie-in…

We can provide you with a sumptuous, specially prepared continental style breakfast which is proving to be a hit with our guests. This will be placed in your fridge and ready for the morning so enjoy a lie-in, dine in your fluffy robes at your leisure, or weather permitting, in your private garden overlooking beautiful St Michaels Church. We would like your experience to continue after you leave us, so we urge you to make up scrummy sandwiches from any leftovers and together with cake (if you haven’t already devoured this), make up a picnic to take away with you.
