MEAL PLANS

Self Catering

A self-catering stay allows you to live independently. You can use the kitchen and appliances to cook your own meals and buy your own food. The host will show you where to store your groceries in the fridge and cupboards.

Bed & Breakfast

A continental breakfast typically consists of cereal with milk, toast, bread rolls or croissants with butter or jam, tea and coffee. The host may not always be present during breakfast but will inform you to help yourself to the available food.

Half Board

Half board accommodation means you can live in someone's home and have breakfast and dinner provided. The dinner usually includes a cooked meal with a choice of meat, fish, eggs, pasta, potatoes, rice, vegetables or salad for the main course.
