Breakfast at The Blue Bell is a very handy 'to go' style offering which is available in your room from check-in. Items include yoghurts, fresh fruit, porridge pots, granola flapjacks, cartons of Orange juice & bottled mineral still and sparkling water. We find our early riser hikers and cyclists love the option to take these items for a long day ahead. Packed lunches can also be ordered when you arrive. We do not provide a cooked breakfast.
