There’s nothing like a good hotel breakfast.

And if you’re looking for Ireland’s best spread, you don’t need to look too far.

Cork’s five-star Hayfield Manor Hotel has brought home the Gold Medal for Best Hotel Breakfast in Ireland at the Virgin Media & Hotel & Catering Review magazine awards, held at The Galmont Hotel & Spa in Galway.

Hayfield Manor scooped the top gong for their decadent morning spread, where guests are invited to choose from a buffet of fresh fruit, cereals, freshly squeezed juices, speciality breads, cheeses, cold meats and a delicious range of pastries fresh from the in-house patisserie before indulging in hot dishes such as buttermilk pancakes, omelettes or Hayfield Manor’s famous full Irish breakfast.

The hotel also won Silver in Ireland’s Five Star Hotel category.

Managing Director of Hayfield Family Collection Michael Jacobi said the win was a “wonderful boost for the incredible team” at Hayfield Manor.

“We pride ourselves on delivering an unforgettable experience, with our breakfast no exception as our team works to provide our guests with the best possible start to their day.” he added.

“Key to this breakfast experience are many options sourced from our incredible local suppliers in Cork and throughout Munster as we aim to showcase the finest in local produce combined with a luxurious breakfast experience.”

Non-residents can enjoy breakfast at €27 per person in Orchids Restaurant midweek from 7am to 10.30am.
