Can't express enough how friendly everyone is. This is the place so good you won't want to tell your friends about, as it's the place YOU found. You don't believe it, till you see it.

Had a cuppa and scone here. It's a community centre with a little cafe/bar. Beautiful views. Staff very friendly.

Lovely people, lovely pints, but the stop is worth it for the view alone.
