Guests love our meals and variety of choices!

Our dietary department prepares well-balanced, delicious, and homemade meals.

As part of your reservation, tea, coffee, and homemade cookies are available during the scheduled breaks at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. 

For an additional cost, other snacks can be requested, including fresh fruit, homemade scones, ice cream, and other choices.
