Fantastic place and property!

Keld is a wonderful place to stay and the Smithy made it even better. Stuart and Doris have setup the Smithy to be very well equipped and extremely clean. They are wonderful people and we can’t say enough good things about both them and the place. We will be back! Thanks

Excellent base for great walks in the area

Lovely comfortable cottage in a quiet location. The cottage is well equipped and beautifully maintained. There is one bedroom (a large double room with three windows) upstairs. The other bedroom - also a good size - is downstairs with an en-suite shower (no toilet - that's upstairs in the main bathroom). The owners were very helpful and welcoming and we enjoyed the lemon drizzle cake very much! We would happily recommend this to anyone keen on walking or looking for somewhere very peaceful and quiet.
