The Breakfast Experience :

Breakfast at Highcliffe House is a lavish affair. It’s all about attention to detail with quality, presentation and a 5- star friendly service at the core of what we do. Highcliffe House is unique and differs from other providers and larger hospitality by offering a bespoke hands on A-la Carte service by the owners. We do not offer breakfast room service, anytime dining and very late sittings with established serving times between 8.00am and 9.00am. We trust people to make an informed judgement on whether a larger hotel staffed buffet offering very late breakfast or a timed reservation experience best suits their needs. We encourage future guests to take this into consideration before booking their trip away. Below please find a summary of how we deliver a Highcliffe House breakfast extravaganza.

Breakfast Timings:

Breakfast is Pre-order and served between 8.00 am and 9.00 am.  To ensure efficient service in the dining room guests will be seated every 20 minutes during these times. On arrival for breakfast please take a seat in the sitting room and wait to be seated.  Breakfast times will be confirmed at Check-in and later times are offered on a First-come-First-served basis.  Breakfast time slots will be allocated for the duration of a guest's stay however a time change may be facilitated from time to time depending on other guest departures. For logistical reasons, it is not possible to facilitate all guests at the same time mindful that we want to every guest to feel special and enjoy a genuine 5-star service.
