Award Winning Breakfast

One of the owners, a professional Swiss trained chef, is the winner of Aga-Rayburn National Best Breakfast Award, the judges stating “Old Rectory’s breakfast was quite simply the best in Northern Ireland”.

We offer freshly squeezed orange juice, freshly cut fruit and our own home-made granola and muesli. Our extensive menu also includes vegetarian/vegan/gluten free/ lactose free options.

Our guesthouse uses local and organically produced foods, where possible; we also make our own raspberry jam, whiskey marmalade, wheaten, soda and potato breads, bagels, pancetta scones and potato and apple fadge (potato bread).

Patrick Bonner, August 2019
There are a great choice of breakfasts, very good coffee (important!) and also vegetarian choices.

You choose your main breakfast dish the night before, from a menu that caters for vegetarians as generously as it caters tor meat-eaters. Freshly-squeezed orange juice is served and there's a fine selection of cereals, fruits and yogurt. I had a plate of delicious smoked salmon with scrambled eggs on my first morning and shredded duck on baked eggs with herbs the next morning. Various Irish breads are available and my coffee was excellent.

Breakfast was first class and my husband remarked his scrambled eggs and smoked salmon were the best he had ever eaten.

The inn is so cozy. The breakfasts are fresh and delicious!

Paddy S, June 2019
Breakfast options are extensive and high quality - particularly the array of breads on offer (Irish soda is on the money - when in Rome etc etc). Indulging in a handsome breakfast with great coffee in front of the open fire was a delight.

The breakfast room led off the very nicely furnished guests' lounge and an open fire was burning as I enjoyed my splendid breakfast.

Breakfast was superb and I must add the coffee strong and rich and delicious! That goes a long way with me.

We booked to stay because they provided a vegan breakfast but got much more than we expected! They make their own vegan granola and soda bread, loads of fresh fruit and soy milk available. We had a delicious cooked breakfast the first morning, then the second we were offered vegan croque (toasted cheese sandwich) with cooked mushrooms/ tomatoes and vegan pancakes which were amazing!
