2016 Award Winners IRISH BREAKFAST AWARDS 2016

Irish Breakfast Awards

Hotel Breakfast Award: Gregans Castle Hotel, Ballyvaughan, Co Clare

Breakfast at Gregans Castle is every bit as good in its way as the delicious dinner that residents have enjoyed the night before…The meticulously detailed menu offers a wonderful range of local and artisan foods - right down to a choice of hen or duck eggs, with their named suppliers - and the magnificent table displays offer every conceivable variation on fruits and fruit salads, juices, cereals, freshly baked breads and homemade preserves, cheeses, smoked fish and cold meats that the most discerning of guests could desire.

Country House Breakfast Award: Temple House, Ballymote, Co Sligo

The range of tempting items on the Temple House breakfast buffet includes fresh and stewed fruits, cereals and the house granola (homemade to a special recipe), all displayed in antique silver dishes, while Roderick cooks up hot breakfasts including thickly sliced dry cured bacon rashers and some particularly tasty local sausages.

Guesthouse Breakfast Award: Greenmount House, Dingle , Co Kerry

Greenmount was one of the first guesthouses to specialise in offering a feast for breakfast, and this is one of the USPs that has always wowed first time guests and guaranteed a loyal band of repeat customers over the years. Today, their breakfasts are all better than ever - and what a view across Dingle Bay to the Iveragh Peninsula!

B&B: Strandeen, Portstewart, Co Londonderry

Debbie Blaney offers healthy and ‘power-packed’ breakfasts at Strandeen, including Nutri-bullet smoothies alongside more traditional favourites and her policy is to use free-range and organic produce, whenever possible - all enjoyed at tables thoughtfully set up so you can enjoy the beach and the sea views while you plan the day ahead.
