A romantic weekend away with your partner is always a great idea—whether you’re planning a city trip within the Netherlands or a cozy countryside escape. These moments are all about the little things: the atmosphere, the experience, and the time spent together. One of those small, meaningful touches? Breakfast. And I’d love to share my thoughts on that.

Is It Still a B&B Without Breakfast?

Recently, I had an interesting conversation: can you still call it a Bed & Breakfast if breakfast isn’t included? It’s a fair question—one I’d like to answer from both the guest’s perspective and my own as a B&B owner.

The Guest’s Perspective: Breakfast as Part of the Experience

As a guest, I want my B&B stay to feel special. It’s more than just a place to sleep—it’s an experience. That’s why I love waking up on the first morning to a delicious breakfast, without needing to think about where to eat. Especially during a romantic trip, you don’t want to have to rush out in search of food.

One of my favorite things about B&B breakfasts is the element of surprise—you often don’t know exactly what will be served, which adds to the charm. That said, when I’m staying for more than one night, I also enjoy exploring local breakfast spots. It’s a great way to get to know the area and sample local flavors.

My Approach at B&B Berglust

At B&B Berglust, I intentionally don’t include a standard breakfast in the base rate. Why? Because I want my guests to have the freedom to choose. They can always add breakfast for as many mornings as they like. This flexibility means you can tailor your romantic escape exactly how you want.

Some mornings you might want to stay in your pajamas and relax in bed; other times you might be eager to head out and explore a local café. When guests do choose to have breakfast, I prepare it with love.

At B&B Berglust, breakfast includes a variety of delicious items: white and brown rolls, croissants, Dutch chocolate sprinkles, cheese, butter, jam, yogurt with granola, fresh fruit, and freshly squeezed orange juice. A healthy, satisfying start to the day.
