“Yet again the cottage was beautiful.”

Yew Tree is one of our favourite places to visit. The cottage has got all the facilities that you could need. The hot tub is well needed after a long day out walking. The cottage is situated in a beautiful tranquil area. No phone signal which for us was bliss. Can't wait to visit again.

“Just home from a wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage, where we celebrated my husband's birthday.”

It was everything we hoped it would be. The hot tub and beautiful surroundings were the highlight of the trip as well as all the little luxuries within the cottage which made it especially comfortable. You're far enough off the beaten track to relax and forget the world but close enough for a trip to Coniston, even if only to have a wander, call for a drink and grab some essentials to restock the fridge! There are quite literally walks from the door and everything you could possibly need within the cottage. We really didn't want to leave and will definitely return. Thanks so much for a lovely stay.

“Beautiful cottage in a beautiful area.”

It gave us a week of bliss and total self indulgence. Loved the hot tub and jacuzzi bath! The dog thought she was in heaven. Wonderful - couldn't be better!

“Christmas Week in the Lake District”

My wife and I wanted to get away for Xmas with the dog for wine, walks and relaxing. We got everything we wanted from this cottage. The spec is very high. Beautifully finished and looks great. The cottage is located at the end of a country road which makes it even more idillic. There's no phone signal at the cottage (which we loved!) but whenever you go on walks and gain a little height you can achieve 4G signal. Coniston Water is a pleasant stroll away. We walked to Sunny Bank Jetty on Coniston water. It was peaceful and beautiful. Mid week we took a break from walking and had a tourist day around Lake Windermere which was only 40 mins drive a way. We took a boat tour of the lake (with the dog who went for free) for £10 each and lasted 70 mins. Well worth it. The hot tub is deep and always hot! It's in a secluded corner so the wind doesn't really hit you. However the the comparison between the cold air and the 40 degree hot tub is lovely. Inside the cottage you'll find everything you'll need to cook. I cooked a Christmas dinner for two, and there was plenty of pots and pans etc. There's also wine glasses, champagne flutes, long and short tumblers and tea and coffee cups. The oven is great and was immaculately clean. There was wood available for the log burner and even though the cottage was not cold (even without the underfloor heating it wasn't cold, but lovely to wake up to), the sound of the cracklings logs made the experience even nicer. The bathroom was clean and modern with plenty of towels and his and hers robes for the hot tub. The bath also has jets for bubbles in it however we always opted for the outdoor version! The shower is large, and clean with a huge shower head that makes you never want to get out! We ventured down to the local pub The Wilsons Arms a few times. The staff and locals are very friendly and the food was great. We really cannot fault the cottage. We had a great week and will most likely book for next Christmas too.

“Very high spec cottage in a lovely location”

This cottage was a great find. It looked lovely from the pictures but they didn't do it justice. Everything about the cottage was of a high specification and there were lots of lovely touches that enhanced our stay. The bathroom was fantastic and the dressing gowns were much appreciated when braving the cold evening air on the way to the hot tub. This was just fabulous and very welcome after a long day on the hills. The sound system and 3D tv were great as the weather is notoriously unpredictable in this area!! The cottage is situated down a 2 mile narrow drive - great to run or cycle along. Just be warned though, don't expect a phone or internet signal at all. This certainly didn't bother us but might be a concern for some. Torver itself is very quiet but we could certainly recommend the local pub - where we ate twice. The food and the service at Wilson's was of a high standard too and we didn't feel the need to try anywhere else. Coniston has lots of tea shops where you can use the WIFI if you are desperate and the walk along the lake front from Torver to Coniston is very scenic and not overcrowded like many parts of the 'lakes' in the summer. All in all this was a wonderful cottage and I would hope that we will return in the future as we still have many Wainwright's Peaks to conquer!

“Wow wow wow”

My husband and I travelled to the Lake District for the very first time in June and after a long journey we were delighted when we arrived at this lovely cottage..Having been renovated only 2 years ago everything was in pristine condition with quality furnishings it was a wow when walking through the door. We loved the location quite remote but only 2 miles down a single track to the small village of Torver there is nothing much in Torver apart from 2 pubs and a small deli, further down the road is Coniston with the lake where you can take a boat trip around the lake. Torver itself is quite central with Ambleside, Grasmere, Windermere etc not a long drive away. The cottage itself is set among acres of fell land and you have sheep as your neighbours. It's nice to walk around but keep dogs on a lead as we nearly lost ours as he went off to chase the sheep. There is no need to take cleaning stuff as it was all provided as well as dressing gowns and a hairdryer all stuff that I had taken. The hot tub at the cottage was a real bonus and lovely for a soak in the evening after a long day walking. There is also a whirlpool bath and a rainfall shower. There is no phone signal or wifi but even though I like to be connected it wasn't a huge problem phone signals were poor all over the lakes on O2 to be honest. We loved the lakes and already booked for next year in the same area but a bigger cottage as we are going with family next year.

“5 Star Accommodation”

My husband and I stayed at Yew Tree cottage for 7 days commencing 27 March to celebrate my early retirement. What a fantastic cottage. Attention to detail is "first class" and the photographs do not emphasise how large the cottage is. The location is perfect, nice and quiet with terrific views over the countryside. It was lambing season and each morning it was lovely to see sheep with newly born babies in nearby fields. The furnishings are superb and very comfortable. Extras like the 3D TV and spa bath were very much appreciated, as was the lovely, relaxing hot tub. I thoroughly recommend this accommodation.

“Fantastic weekend luxury getaway”

Myself and my partner have just spent 3 nights here to celebrate his 30th birthday and I honestly wish we could have stayed longer. The cottage location is fantastic. Out of the way enough to feel secluded and cosy but not too far from the village of Coniston if supplies are needed. The cottage itself was so luxurious and beautifully furnished. I particularly loved the log fire, , four poster bed and fantastic enquire bathroom with whirlpool bath. We had a wonderful stay and feel totally refreshed. I will definitely be booking again and this time for a longer stay!

“wow”

Fantastic. Spent a fortnight wrapped in luxury on our honeymoon. Cottage is lovely and the hot tub is fab. A secluded retreat amongst the hills but close enough to civilisation if needed. No wifi or mobile reception at the cottage which was a plus as hubby is self employed and gets so many calls day and night - at bottom of 2 mile lane reception is good.though to make calls out if needed. Large fridge freezer so take groceries in with you if you plan to self cater. We managed to fill the freezer with everything we took and munched our way through it only had to buy bread and milk locally. Supermarkets are scarce so be sure to buy before getting to the area. We didn't want to leave the cottage. A lovely retreat for twwo.

“Honeymoon retreat”

We had a fantastic mini-moon at Yew Tree. A very peaceful, tranquil & scenic location. Lodge was lovely & dog friendly too which was a bonus.

“Fantastic high quality cottage in great surroundings”

I chose this cottage because we wanted peace and quiet - and that is what we got ! What we weren't prepared for was the quality and space in what seemed on booking to be a small venue. With high ceilings and great choice in decor, the place was a real pleasure to stay in and we didn't want to leave. Great for couples ! We took our dog and went on loads of walks and spent a lot of time chilling in the hot tub ;) ... So good for the soul. I have recommended this place to many of my friends. Thanks !

“A touch of luxury in beautiful, tranquil surroundings”

This is a beautifully appointed, luxury cottage set off-the-beaten-track in the rugged Cumbrian landscape. The accommodation itself is spacious and of excellent quality; we particularly enjoyed the cosy underfloor heating, wood burner, luxury bathroom, modern kitchen and, of course, the amazing private hot tub. Although we'd seen pictures before we arrived, we were still surprised at how lovely it was and at the attention to detail. The owners could not have done more to help us, especially when a national grid fault meant the whole area suffered a power cut! We were so impressed that we've already booked another stay, and we only returned home yesterday. The private hot tub and luxury touches really set this cottage aside from others. Amazingly it is also dog-friendly, so could be the perfect base for a walking holiday with a canine companion. We cannot wait to return!
