Delicious Breakfast Experience

I was blown away by the breakfast presentation. It was not just any breakfast; it offered three hearty courses including pastries, cured meats, and a choice between an omelet or a full Scottish breakfast. You can tell they take food seriously here! It was a wonderful way to start the day.
