Windows lacking catches therefore did not feel that they were secure. Interior doors would not shut properly. Tiles around shower base falling off. Sofa very uncomfortable due to a sheet of wood underneath one side. The views shown on the website can only be seen when outside in front of the cafe. This is very misleading as the other seating area faces the parking area.

I had ice blocks to put in my carry bag on the hills to keep refreshments cool but couldnât use them. Apart from that, a great place to base yourself while hill walking.

Lots of pleasant views and walks on the doorsteps. The downside was some equipment, constant running fridge, no markings on hob, window casements not all working. Property is a little tired. But these are minor items for walkers, etc.
