Breakfast is the prelude to a captivating stroll or walk around our grounds..

Explanation:
I'd guess that the hotel is some sort of country estate house; hence domaine. Rambling for randonnée wouldn't seem right to me (the grounds may be landscaped rather than wild).

I hope that they are careful with the mushrooms if it's an English breakfast ;-)

(Our) Breakfast sets you up to enjoy a (gentle) stroll or a hike around the local paths

Explanation:
There are lots of ways to convey this, depending on the formality of the rest of the text. I think the important thing would be to make it sound unforced English rather than word for word translation so I might say something like 'Our breakfast leaves you ready to enjoy a gentle stroll or more strenous ramble in the surrounding countryside'. Just a suggestion
