‘A Marcliffe Moment’ - a dreamy indulgence.
Breakfast - provide a hot flask of coffee on the buffet table so that guests coming into breakfast can pour a quick coffee into a mug to take to their table. I was gasping for a coffee as I came down for breakfast and tried to help myself to a quick coffee at the table at the bottom of the stairs in Reception but I was stopped from doing this by the doorman and propelled forwards to the dining room. I had to wait for ten minutes, still gasping for coffee, while we were seated at table, ordered from menu, ordered a cappuccino, helped myself to something from the buffet and had consumed it, all before a coffee arrived at our table! Plus, I don’t like the muesli presented in what reminds me of a toothbrush holder - the glass tumbler thing. I would prefer the muesli presented in a breakfast plate (like a small soup plate or dessert plate). The food and coffee is all delightful, a real treat, it’s a dreamy breakfast, so I’m not complaining, just giving you some feedback. When something lovely happens to me in my daily life I call it ‘A Marcliffe Moment’ - just a dreamy interlude of perfection.
