The cottage was absolutely beautiful, with an amazing view over the valley.. The location was great for a getaway with friends. The bedrooms are huge and comfortable and the main living area is cosy with the log burning fire. We all had an amazing time and would definitely stay here again!

Yew Cottage was amazing from the moment we arrived! Lynsey was there to greet us and show us around the cottage and how to use the facilities etc. the welcome package (bread, eggs, butter, milk, jam and even prosecco!) was a lovely touch. The cottage was stunning, clean, and had all the equipment & facilities we needed, the bedrooms were fantastic all with en suite and plenty of space, we had no trouble fitting the travel cot and pram in one of the downstairs bedrooms. The hot tub is great, even providing flip flops to get to the hot tub! Its all private and the views were stunning.
We were all extremely impressed with Yew Cottage and would definitely return and recommend to others. Great stay and place.

The property was outstanding in all aspects.. The quality of furnishings, finish, location and the provision of extras which one might have forgotten. Being able to sit on the terrace and look out towards Ulverston with a cool glass of wine was just awe inspiring. The bedrooms where fabulous and always ensured a good nights sleep, and the quiet location was incredible. The welcome by the hosts and their support throughout our stay was exceptional, thank you very much
