I just added this to the confirmation email as a reminder. There is something similar on the website on the breakfast page.
"We serve our 3-course "Innkeeper's Choice" breakfast each morning in our dining room between 7:30-9:00am weekdays, and 8-9:30am on weekends. Other times by prior arrangement with the innkeeper."
Often we do have requests for 7 am breakfast during the week because of events that people have to get to here. We pin down folks on breakfast time the evening before...they just don't wander down to the dining room. I couldn't handle that with a full house, because of the work and how much seating I have available. It has worked out fine to date. I'm OK with the earlier time because I know folks need to keep to this schedule.
I've made breakfast to-go for early departures (sausage/egg biscuit, fruit, coffee and juice). I'm not willing to do this before 6:30 am though!! Some other folks with a fridge in their room, asked if they could have a continental since they wanted to leave at o'dark thirty. They had fruit, home baked goods, croissants that they could toast, jam/butter, juice, mini Babybel cheeses that I put in there the evening before. They also had a coffee maker and toaster in that room. I couldn't do that for every room but I could leave a basket of muffins and some fruit. All rooms have access to coffee. I keep saying that I'm going to pick up some of those small bottled OJs.
Then, there are the folks that realize that breakfast is complimentary. If they're leaving super early, they just say "Don't worry about making us anything for the morning since we're leaving so early, we'll grab something somewhere". They usually find a basket with some fruit and snacks in their room ;-)
It is the day of departure that usually might need a super early breakfast here.
