Best breakfasts

Start the day right with our guide to the best breakfasts in the UK, from award-winning B&Bs to luxury hotels. The places in our Cool Places best breakfast guide go the extra mile, whether they bake their own bread, make scrumptious granola, use eggs from their own hens or source local bacon and sausages. Some pull out all the stops and offer fluffy omelettes, eggs benedict, porridge and whisky, pancakes and syrup, fresh fruit and yummy pastries. Others just do the basics but do it extremely well, setting you up for a great day out in the hills, on the beach or around town. So celebrate the great British breakfast by seeking out one of our Cool Places brekkie champions, where the first meal of the day is always the best meal of the day.
