The Salty Dog Hotel & Bistro - Bangor, Co Down

Hotel breakfasts are often the least enjoyable part of a stay – not so at a growing number of ‘breakfast aware’ hotels, including this pleasing waterside spot where each day’s series of interesting menus begins with a very good breakfast.

The offering at Salty Dog Hotel & Bistro includes lashings of fresh juice, good breads, really gorgeous toast and marmalade and - among the cooked items – tiptop rashers and that must-have when visiting the North, potato bread.

And, best of all, a can-do attitude which really sets you up for the day.
