Stayed at a B&B several weeks ago. Place is SR, beautiful, immaculate and no expense spared when it comes to the amenities.
But then there was the breakfast, billed as a '3-course' breakfast, mind you.
First 'course' was a thin slice of pineapple, presented with the rind still on (very pretty). the pineapple had been cut out of the middle and this amounted to about 6-8 small pieces, topped with 3 blueberries.
2nd course - approx 2"x4"x2" piece of a breakfast casserole with potatoes, veggies and cheese. Again, well-presented, very tasty. NOTHING ELSE ON THE PLATE!!
3rd and final course was ONE (1!) MINI MUFFIN (emphasis on the mini) with a dollop (1TBS) of whipped cream and one chocolate-covered espresso bean.
THAT WAS IT!! It was so out of context with the rest of the inn 'atmosphere', that I found it just appalling. This whole breakfast maybe cost a whopping $2. I could hardly believe it.
Would you feed your guests so little? Is it just me? I would never have expected my guests to find this acceptable. I found myself looking for the nearest McD's when we left.
