Great cafe come bar in the evening set back from the main road. We’ve enjoyed brunch here a few times and can rate the pancakes and eggs Benedict’s!

Epic burgers and dirty fries - soo tasty if you’re craving a good feed but not particularly healthy 🙈

Racing Days Out
There are often events on at the horse racing club and it’s well equipped with bars and restaurant. We have been to some of the family days and it’s been a great day out.

We love this place - everytime we go there is something new from feeding the eels to cuddles with piglets and walking high up on the hills with the goats and deers. The cafe is a nice retreat after walking around for a few hours and even better when they have the fire going! If they have the fire pit going then don’t forget to bring or buy marshmallows for toasting 😊

Lovely walks and great views from the swing bridge! The water is super cold coming off the mountain but you’ll feel epic if you manage to go for a dip!
