    Berry Manor Inn-View from outsideAt our beautiful Rockland bed and breakfast, we strive to "wow" our guests with the "B's" in Bed & Breakfast! We start off the morning with coffee, juice and tea service available at 7 am so the early risers can start on their caffeine intake. We don't believe in alarm clocks on vacation so we choose to serve our multi-course breakfast anytime between 8 and 9:30 am at individual tables in the main dining room. Feel free to stroll down at 8 am or roll out of bed, slip on one of our comfy robes and sit down at 9:30. We serve coffee or tea, assorted juices, a fruit course, homemade bread or pastry, and a main course with meat and an entree that alternates between "sweet" and "savory". We post our menu the night before and encourage guests to let us know of food preferences, allergies and other dietary issues in advance so that we can prepare a breakfast choice to meet all needs. We always have alternative breakfasts available like hot or cold cereal, plain scrambled eggs or plain French toast so please let us know your preferences at check-in.
