Yes, I hate company at breakfast. DH knows to keep quiet until I clock on afterwards.
Also don't enjoy watching people eat, or worse still, talk and eat.
In a B&B have a quiet word when booking in.

I especially like breakfast and enjoy conversation with others while consuming it! B&Bs often offer extremely good value. I do prefer hotels though but not ones that don't have a good breakfast included. In fact I'd rather stay in a nice hotel for a shorter trip than a cheaper one for longer.

It's not you!!

DH keeps suggesting we try B&B's/Guesthouses when we go away. I let him get carried away with the idea until he remembers that he can't stand eating 'communally' and I heave a sigh of relief.

We use Premier Inns for brief stops but not for extended stays. I like to eat in the hotel and not having to trawl round trying to find somewhere. Breakfasts are ok in Premier Inns but I don't think much of their evening meal offering.

How did you find the Gastro pub? We are debating whether we'd feel weird if there weren't many people there.

No I am the same Teetime I just don't want to make polite conversation over breakfast, leave me alone until I've had coffee and toast smile

We have just come back from holiday where we travelled around a bit staying in a variety of guest houses, Premier lodges and a gastropub. Firstly I would like to say Premier came out tops for convenience and value for money although some of its sites (e.g. Kendal) have very limited parking and nothing nearby.
My main discomfort was the breakfast in guest houses. For some reason (possibly my meds) I always feel slightly queasy in the morning s and in two places it was a shared breakfast table - beautifully laid and lovely food but I dislike sharing and having to make polite conversation in the mornings. I especially don't enjoy seeing someone tucking into a cooked breakfast. Is it me? I am I a grumpy so and so?
