Kelia Cottage is absolutely lovely, it was the perfect setting for us to chill & visit some local area's. The family were all very welcoming, friendly & helpful. The welcome gift of prosecco & cookies was very gratefully received. The pub which is a stone throw away was also very welcoming & served lovely homemade food.

We had an excellent stay at the most comfortable Kelia Cottage.
We had an excellent stay at the most comfortable Kelia Cottage. Tucked away off the village green, it was peaceful. It was lovely and warm with lots of hot water with all the amenities you need in a cottage.It was close to Richmond and the Dales as well as County Durham. We also had a fabulous meal in The Bay Horse at Ravensworth (The next village) The local unfortunately weren't serving food the night we wanted due to a pool and darts night. We would definitely recommend Kelia Cottage and we will be returning. Many thanks Julia
