    Careful what you're booking. The £4.50 breakfast (reduced to £4.05 if you book online) is this:

    Breakfast Bag

    Fancy a delicious breakfast to go? Our handy Breakfast Bag includes a cereal pot and milk, a muffin, croissant, jam portion and a fruit juice - which counts toward 1 of your 5 a day!


    Hardly value for money by comparison with an all-in breakfast from somewhere like McDonalds for rather less.

    I would never get the breakfast bag even if it was £1. The contents really isnt nice at all very very cheap stuff!

    As you say McDonalds is less and if there is a Weatherspoons etc nearby then you can get a full breakfast for this price!

    Hope so because ive booked 3 night all with breakfast the next morning, I was impressed by the kids eat free deal so for 6 of us breakfast only comes to£13.50 per morning and its all you can eat.


    We have booked breakfast and evening meal deal in the cafe bar so hoping they are ok. After looking at hotels for days this seemed by far the best deal at £65 (with food) a few miles from Legoland!

    Im not 100% sure but think it is 1 free child per paying adult - worth checking! We are ok as only have one child with us x

    Yes it is a good deal I think. We have two children and found the help yourself buffet breakfast was really good value. They have a good choice of hot items they keep topping up such as scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms and then there are cerals, milk, yoghurts, fruit, toast and spreads, blueberry muffins, teas coffee and juices.

    Re breakfasts - subway do a good breakfast deal - half a sub with coffee.

    Also Greggs - bacon/sausage bap with either coffee or orange juice for £2.15 or something like. They also do porridge. Also soup and a savoury eg a sausage roll is £1.50.

    OK, not the full breakfast that a family would need but we have found it enough to get just 2 of us started. It also means that if we have a cheap travelodge room plus a cheap breakfast there is more in the budget for whatever activities we have planned for the day.
