The basket will be a continental breakfast outside your door in the morning which you should feel free to enjoy in your room - or better yet outside at one of our lovely outdoor seating areas in the garden or on the porch. Your selection will of hot beverage, baked good and fruit juice . If you make no choice or we don't hear from you by 9pm the night before - we will deliver 2 bottles of water, a muffin and juice outside your door by 8am.
