View Café

Located at the south side of the village overlooking the stunning view across the valley.

A small intimate garden café serving light refreshments and a selection of daytime seasonal fruit and vegetable meals. All home-made on the premises from very local produce.

At evening times the café becomes a viewpoint and meeting point for those choosing a slightly less busy evening from that found the courtyard. Entertainment is more relaxed and romantic, a place where you can just melt away with the thoughts of the day.

Positioned on the linking pathway between the swimming pool and the main theatre area leading to the woodland exploration park. By night the surrounding trees protect you from the evening breeze whilst creating a great frame for the sunsets.

A contrast to the winter months when the View café is a choice for those wishing to see the imminent weather changes. Watching the rain clouds roll in and experiencing the weather whilst sat in front of the log fire is an interesting experience. A great photo opportunity any time of the year.

In the winter wonderland months of January and February as the snow falls, the View café is great for a ‘goreshte chocolatte’ (hot chocolate) after a walk in the forest or a ‘grena rakia’ mulled wine after skating on the woodland ice rink.
