 The halt is on a bend in both the road and the railway (both following the contour of the land), and has its own tiny cafe which has been there for many years, latterly known as "Jean's Place" among other titles, it is currently called the "Dhoon Coffee Stop".There is a large unsurfaced car park opposite the halt, on the site of the Dhoon Glen Hotel which was destroyed by fire in 1917 and never rebuilt.The old station shelter, separate from the cafe (which houses passenger toilet facilities beneath it) was replaced in 1987 with a more modern structure, and now forms a passenger shelter in addition to being covered accommodation for the cafe as required.
