Good central location in Kewick. Could have had more facilities for walkers (e.g. mat for boots by the door).

Generally a well set up cottage but walkers should be aware that there is very little facility for accommodating wet and muddy kit. We brought a plastic sheet with us to cover the lovely fitted carpet.
