You need to come visit the southern US in winter. Late January-early February is best. You are rather a northerner. I think our summer heat would devastate you. Blossom accidentally got some of our summer heat and it about killed her. She is only 936 miles northeast of me.

Most hotels, including the one I mentioned, offer a breakfast buffet with breads, croissants (sometimes pastry), fruit, meat, cheese, sweet things, yogurt and cereals. In the hotels in the UK also offer ingredients for a full English breakfast; baked beans, sausages and other things I don't want to even want to think about in the morning. This hotel offered the leftovers of the breakfast for the guests, even for those who hadn't paid for a breakfast, instead of throwing them away.
My preferred weather is around 20C, a light breeze and sunny. The biggest problem in the Netherlands is that when temperatures rise it usually gets humid. Two years ago I went to Krakow and we had a really hot day of 30C+, but it wasn't humid. It got a bit much if you stayed in the sun too long, but if you sat down with a cool drink or ice cream you could continue with whatever you were doing within 10 minutes.
I did my final teacher placement in Sicily for 5 weeks in November and December. When we got there is was 20 to 25C and when we left 15 to 20C. I think my friend and I were the only ones going outside without a coat in December. We stayed with my friend's aunt and she told us that in her lifetime it had only snowed once in Sicily (last year it snowed again).
