Despite the name it's not a cafe, it's a restaurant which overlooks Blackheath and has al fresco tables if you fancy braving the British summer. Bustling and crowded without being claustrophobic, it had a great, vibrant atmosphere. Menu was dominated by steaks but there were also pizza and pasta options for veggies. I had roast lamb fillet with chimichurri sauce and spinach which was delicious. The prices were pretty reasonable for London and for the quality of the food - it came to about £25 a head including wine, starter, main and dessert.
I would definitely recommend this place. It has a lot of soul and ticks a lot of boxes - equally good for a romantic couple or group of friends

Great little place right in the middle of the Afan Forest, sandwiched between the Afan and Glyncorrwg mountain bike centres. Basic accommodation but perfect for mountainbikers with a lock-up and jet wash, not to mention a cracking breakfast and pub dinner. Lush.
This is a great place to buy ski and snowboard gear if you're heading to places like Breck, Keystone, Vail etc. It's a huge store stocked with loads of brands but the some prices are amazingly discounted. If you were planning to buy ski gear in the states anyway because of the cheaper prices, then this place is a good bet to get even better deals.

Definitely a dive bar but a brilliant one! Staff are friendly, there's pool and the evenings go off thanks to great bar deals.

A little way away from Keystone but there's is a ridiculously attentive bus service which makes not having a car no problem. I booked a one bedroom condo with a loft room expecting it to be compact but it was massive. The condo was serviced every day which I hadn't expected in self-catering and it had access to an outdoor heated pool and hot tub. Because of its location it was much cheaper than any place in River Run village so if you can handle the bus these condos are a great deal.
You'll find these in the small town of Kremmling, Colorado which you could drive through in about five seconds really if you felt that way inclined. But just off the main road is Hot Sulphur Springs, a spa complex based around natural springs of differing temperatures. Some are as tiny as a paddling pool, others are great rock pools and everyone is very friendly so if you can stand the heat you could stay there chatting for ages.
One warning - the smell, although you get used to it once you're there, it lingers for a spectacularly long time! Kind of worth it though as you do feel a million dollars when you leave.
Near Kremmling, about 70 miles from Denver, Colorado
