Breakfast Included Every Morning
Best Breakfast at a Vermont Bed & Breakfast
At Heart of the Village Inn, breakfast is a genuine part of the stay — included, unhurried, and offered in a small inn where mornings feel like mornings.
Breakfast is part of what makes a B&B stay different
When you book a room at a hotel, breakfast is typically something you add on, go find, or skip. At a bed and breakfast, breakfast is structural — it’s part of why the category exists. At Heart of the Village Inn, the morning meal is included in your rate and is part of what the innkeepers prepare and offer every morning for guests who are there.
The inn has 9 guest rooms across two buildings. Breakfast is offered from 7:30 to 9:30 AM. Advance reservation is required — the innkeepers prepare specifically for guests who are expected that morning, which is different from a hotel buffet or a walk-in café. That advance commitment is worth knowing before you book, and it’s easy to arrange when you make your room reservation.
At an adults-only inn, the breakfast setting reflects the overall atmosphere: quieter, more considered, and oriented toward guests who want to start their day slowly before heading out to Shelburne Museum, Shelburne Farms, Burlington, or wherever the day takes them.
The Breakfast page has more about what to expect each morning. Dietary questions? Contact the innkeepers directly before your stay.
