With a hugely popular general store used by locals and tourists alike, as well as a cost tea room which draws large numbers of new

The current owners since purchasing the business have invested heavily in developing the trade of the business, not only by investing heavily financially but also through the time and commitment they have invested over the past seven years.
The local store provides a year round facility to the local population where is sells everything from convenience products, drinks, newspapers, confectionary and gifts.
The inviting licensed tea rooms is also very popular amongst locals, however its true value is with the abundance of trade from tourists to the village, many of whom are regulars throughout the year.

The new addition of the bike rental business, which opened at the start of 2008, is slowly taking off. This will, in years to come provide a high profit and low maintenance income stream.
