Some of you may have already read this already, but I need advice on how to proceed.
Our house is more of a historic - hand built house. Thus, there is no dining room. All of the other suites have *private* entrances detached from the main house. One suite, the biggest and best, has a private drive and I'd have to walk around a little to get to the door. We have purchased a nice patio table that we will put underneath our over hang. We have also purchased private patio furniture if they want to eat on their terrace or patio. The third option is to eat in-room. The main room has a full kitchen with counter top to eat there. The smallest suite has a nice table to eat in as well. The other would be more of a couch meal.
So, the problem is that there is no *indoor* dining area other than in-room. If the weather is nice, we would gladly cook breakfast and serve it at the communual table. If not, we *could* serve it in-room. However, getting hot food to the biggest suite is a bit of a challenge. I'd have to walk up a little hill and/or put it in the back of my car and deliver it. Not really an option for a good hot breakfast.
So the options are (unless you can give me a creative solution):
1. Serve on continental breakfast and call ourselve an Inn
2. Serve continental in-room or communual (weather permitting)
3. Serve hot dishes on nice weather days and continental on not so nice days
4. Say we serve continental only and on nice days surprise them with an offer for a full breakfast
The rooms are *really* nice, great location, quiet, very historic, everything is in-place except the breakfast part. We would offer great continental (home made, cinnamon rolls, etc.) so... hmm.
What say you?
