Breakfast for B&B Guests
Little Shiplake is equipped with cereals, milk and juices for your convenience. We will gladly cook you a full English breakfast over in the main house and bring it over to you at an agreed time for you to enjoy in the privacy of Little Shiplake. All ingredients for our breakfasts will be locally sourced where possible. We support the local farm just a mile down the road A.Turner and Son by buying all our sausages and bacon from them, and our eggs are from our very own free range hens, Barbara, Eleven, Biscoff and Snickers.
At Little Shiplake we really care that you have the most comfortable stay possible and we are very proud of our high standards of cleanliness and presentation. The new bathroom was fitted in January 2013 and is both very practical and well appointed with a wonderful walk in shower area. We totally re decorated in spring 2017, including all carpets being cleaned and for these reasons we have decided on a no pets policy, to insure that Little Shiplake stays as presentable and clean as possible.
