“A Lovely clean and quiet cottage surrounded by countryside, ideal spot to explore the lake district.”

We had everything we needed, and was made to feel welcome by Caroline and Paul, a reel home from home. We especially enjoyed seeing the cows out of the front window every morning at breakfast.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful quiet location surrounded by hills and convenient for visiting the Lakes.”

Yew Fold was a fantastic place and had everything we needed and more.The facilities were excellent with a wonderful walk in shower and bathroom and a comfortable bed.A bottle of wine was waiting for us when we arrived and Caroline and Paul were really helpful and they were on hand if we needed anything.The sofa was comfortable too and even though we were out during the day the evenings were very cosy and very relaxing.We would highly recommend staying here. We were able to park right outside the door to the cottage.All in all we had a fantastic holiday in a beautiful location.

Andrew September 2024

“Although the property was clean and well maintained, it’s location close to a very busy road made it noisy at times due to constant traffic and entry/exit from the road the property is situated on was somewhat precarious.”

Also, when booking a holiday let in the future, we will look to find ones separate to the owners own property .

- Andrew, September 2024
Joan August 2024

“I had a lovely stay at yew fold.”

I felt at home as soon as I arrived. Its so welcoming, comfortable and clean with all that is needed for a perfect stay. The cottage is ideally placed to cover a wide area which is easily accessible by car or if you fancy a train ride, the station is just a short walk away. The comfortable bed and super shower adds the the enjoyment. The outside space is lovely to sit out with a drink or eat, it is private with wonderful views. Caroline and Paul are wonderful hosts, always available if needed. The welcome text was much appreciated. A most enjoyable stay and im sure I will go back, I didn't want to leave.

- Joan, August 2024
David June 2024

“Perfect inside and out.”

Arrive, and relax! Spotless and everything you need is there. Been twice, a new favourite place for us to stay. Book ! You will be so pleased you did.

- David, June 2024
Lynda June 2024

“Another fantastic week at this lovely property.”

Modern, clean and well equipped with super shower and comfortable bed, didn't want to leave. Lovely owners too. For those who don't like driving, the train (15 minute walk) will take you up the coast as far as Carlisle or to Barrow where you can get connections to many other places of interest. The X6 bus from Barrow (stops near the train station) will also take you to many beauty spots en-route to Kendal. Looking forward to my next visit.

Mustakim June 2024

“We had a wonderful time, it was a great property in a beautiful location.”

It was very comfortable and clean. We would love to come back again in the future.

Christine May 2024

“It's apparent from the moment you walk in that this outstanding property has been built with love and is very well cared for.”

It's immaculately clean with top quality furnishings and bedding. The kitchen is so well equipped and the use of space is inspired. Views from the windows are stunning and the little garden overlooking the fields of sheep is idyllic. The lanes around the property are so interesting to walk down and the station is very close by if you fancy a trip up the coast. The owners who live in the attached house ( sound proofing excellent as didn't hear a thing) are friendly and helpful but not intrusive. It's a beautiful part of Cumbria which we will definitely be visiting again. A personal thanks to the owners for being so accommodating. We had health issues that meant we couldn't check in on the Friday and for family reasons had to return home part way through the holiday before returning for the last 2 nights.

- Christine, May 2024

Janice December 2023

“Yew Fold is a lovely property in a quiet location which is perfect for exploring the Furness peninsula, Cumbrian coast and the Lake District.”

The apartment is very well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay, and is very well maintained. The hosts, Caroline and Paul, are very welcoming and helpful. I have already booked my next stay!

- Janice, December 2023
Sharon November 2023

“We had a wonderful weeks stay at Yew Fold!”

The cottage was extremely clean, cosy and warm. Plenty of storage, super shower and comfortable bed. The cottage is well located to explore The Lakes. Caroline and Paul were very friendly and helpful even providing us with train information. The wine and flowers on arrival was also a lovely touch. Would highly recommend!

- Sharon, November 2023
David October 2023

“We have now stayed at Yew Fold three times - "enough said", but we will add a little more.”

The place is spotless, warm, cosy and comfortable; it has everything you need as a couple and the rainfall shower is fab. Kirkby in Furness is in a quiet corner of the Lake District and it has a rail station which is convenient if you don't always want to use the car. Very convenient for completing the Outlying Fells, many of which are nearby.

- David, October 2023
Pauline October 2023

“Easily met all our expectations and we had a very comfortable stay.”

Within the area we were able to walk, explore, discover parts new to us and we had a lovely relaxing time.

- Pauline, October 2023
Julie September 2023

“A lovely and well equipped cottage with spectacular views.”

Couldn’t have asked for more.

- Julie, September 2023
Claire September 2023

“The cottage was clean, modern and had lovely views of the surroundings.”

The garden looks different than the pictures as it has been upgraded with a bench seating area making it a little more private and looks beautiful in evening when the solar lights came on. Will definitely go back.

- Claire, September 2023
David August 2023

“A comfortable and easily accessible cottage in an attractive setting.”

Good storage, comfortable bed and pretty good shower. Would happily stay again if coming to the area.

- David, August 2023
Barry August 2023

“Lovely place and with lovely owners.”

Perfect for a quiet weekend and good base for exploring the lakes. Perfect for couples. We took our eight month old and we couldn't have been more comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

- Barry, August 2023
Trina August 2023

“A beautiful property with everything you could possibly require.”

Top spec fittings which all add to the enjoyment of the stay. Easy to reach just off a main road with some lovely walks from the door. Probably the best holiday cottage that we've ever stayed in, I can't recommend more highly.

- Trina, August 2023
Nicola July 2023

“Beautiful cottage would definitely recommend anyone looking for a quiet place to relax and do some exploring of the local scenery.”

- Dido, July 2023
Hannah June 2023

“We had a really lovely stay at Yew Tree.”

We chose to stay here as we had an animal experience booked at the South Lake safari park during the week so the location was convenient for us to easily get to the park whilst not being too far for us to go exploring other sites in the Lake District. We were able to visit a few National Trust sites such as Wray Castle and Aira Force as well as some of the smaller towns like Ambleside and Coniston, all within a good distance from Yew Tree. The cottage was lovely and clean and the perfect base for us to come back to. The set up is lovely and modern and well equipped with homely amenities.

- Hannah, June 2023
David June 2023

“Great property, five stars from us.”

Spotless, modern, comfortable and very spacious for two. Lovely, private patio area, great hosts and stunning Cumbrian scenery without the crowds.

- David, June 2023
Lynda May 2023

“Lovely Cottage, lovely little village, really nice owners and only 15 minute walk to the train station.”

Comfortable bed & sofa, excellent very large rainforest shower, huge TV, well equipped kitchen area, clean & modern throughout - everything you could want really. I left the car behind and took the train (Cumbrian Line) most days - you can get on & off all the way up to Carlisle with a Cumbrian Coast Day Ranger. Muncaster Castle is worth a visit, especially the Bird of Prey display & Ravenglass & Eskdale railway too.

- Lynda, May 2023
David May 2023

“Our second visit to Yew Fold and had a lovely week walking 5 more of Wainwright’s Outlying Fells.”

The property is perfect for two, very comfortable and in a quiet location with great views. We visited Lancaster by train from the nearby station - the line runs to Carlisle too - both interesting days out. We said we’d return and we did, and have already booked again for next year!

- David, May 2023

It was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and really comfortable. The owners were friendly but not intrusive and the welcome gifts of wine and biscuits were great! The eggs that were still warm from being laid were delicious too! A massive thank you to Caroline and Paul for a wonderful base to explore the area from.

Wendy January 2023

“This is my second stay at YewFold for both pleasure and business, and it’s been delightful once again.”

The high standard of the accommodation is second to none, with modern features, well equipped kitchen, lovely hot shower, big TV with Sky, good heating and a comfy bed you don’t really want to get out of. Wifi is good and I worked easily - looking out beautiful views. Being close to Askham, Barrow and Ulverston for everyday requirements is good and the lakes being just down the road makes YewFold an ideal place to stay. Have to add Caroline and Paul are great hosts and with their local knowledge of the area you are set for a great time at YewFold.

- Wendy, January 2023
Gillian November 2022

Margaret June 2022

“Lovely place to stay, all mod cons, very good spec.”

We found it a bit too far south if you want to explore the lakes and are wary of winding roads, but that is just us.

- Margaret, June 2022
Peter June 2022

“Yew Fold cottage is adjacent to the owners' home and was even better than the photos' suggested.”

We were welcomed by our host Caroline and the bottle of wine with a vase of fresh flowers on the table was a lovely start. The cottage was spotlessly clean everywhere with very new,modern appliances ; plenty of storage space for clothes,shoes, cases etc. and was very spacous. The kitchen area had everything we needed for our self-catering holiday with lots of cupboard space,new crockery,glassware, pots/pans etc.and a table & chairs. The lounge area was very comfortable with a large comfortable sofa and flat screen T.V etc . The decor everywhere in the cottage is lovely giving a light,airy feel and the bedroom has very good quality bedding, a comfortable bed and excellent lighting for night-time reading. The bathroom was modern with a large excellent walk-in shower and hot water available at any time of the day which was a plus factor. There is a little private garden area ( for your own private use )next to the cottage which has a table,chairs, BBQ with plenty of beautiful flowers which we used frequently as the weather during our weeks holiday was fantastic. Yew Fold is in a lovely area , near a main road which made travelling to other places on the Furness Peninsular very easy and we enjoyed the beautiful countryside, quiet beaches and the nearby Lake District. On leaving the cottage for home ,we overlooked a pair of walking boots and slippers which Caroline found and kindly packaged up and returned to us by post. We can say that our stay was excellent and would gladly recommend Yew Fold to other couples and hope to be back again in the Autumn. The only point I would make ( which is not a criticism in any way ) is that the cottage has a few steps up to the entrance door which might be difficult for anyone with mobility issues.

- Peter, June 2022
Lewis June 2022

Stephen Paul June 2021

“It was a well presented holiday home.”

.. it was what we needed,, peace and quiet.. The place was spotlessly clean...and a well equipped kitchen. Ideal for walking, or if you wish to travel up the coast towards ravenglass, eskdale or Muncaster the train service is excellent. A good week.

- Stephen Paul, June 2021
Ian May 2021

“Cottage was lovely and everything we could have wished for.”

Owner was very helpful and so kind. With my wife's disability the owner went out of her way to be so helpful. The cottage more than met out expectations and we can strongly recommend it. BUT Sykes Cottages have plagued me with emails about buying further holidays and persistant nagging to download Sykes apps. This is VERY annoying and it makes me very wary of using Sykes again.

- Ian, May 2021
Ian May 2021

“Lovely cottage where we were made very welcome by Caroline and Paul.”

Bottle of wine and beautiful roses met us on arrival. Some fresh eggs delivered mid week. Very kind. Weather was good so able to go out and about:Hoad hill with glorious views, Walley Island and lots of scenic places to visit then back to the lovely apartment with one fantastic shower! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and I'm sure we'll be back.

- Ian, May 2021
Allon May 2021

“Had a brilliant stay at 'Yew Fold'.”

We arrived to find a bottle of wine and a couple of cakes had been left by the owners with a little note. The cottage was clean warm and comfortable. We could not find a fault with the accomodation and enjoyed our stay immensely. The description and pictures were accurate. We hope to return later in the year for some more walking. In a word, excellent accomodation and facilities .

Paul was very helpful with giving us directions to our outdoor adventure in boot, he also offered us a lock up for our bikes and paddle boards which was very conciderate of them. I will definitely be back its a home from home.

- Rhudielyn, October 2020
Catrin September 2020

“Well designed accommodation, exceptionally decorated and very comfortable throughout.”

The bed was comfortable and the shower was amazing. The property was very clean. Lovely views through the large windows and excellent light throughout the day. We enjoyed seeing the hens in the garden. Excellent hosts who were very helpful but not intrusive. Location was a little bit outside the main Lake District areas, but quieter because of this. Lots of excellent drives and walks were accessible, but you need to be prepared to use your car every day. The wifi wasn't very good. Not the hosts' fault and they did everything they could to help with this. It didn't spoil our stay at all, but you should be aware of this if you need dependable, good speed wifi. Highly recommend this property.

- Catrin, September 2020

B August 2020

“Since the start of Covid 19 restrictions in March, we had not set foot in any building, other than our home.”

I was therefore somewhat apprehensive about staying in someone else’s house with regards to cleanliness. We have rented cottages in the past which have been cleaner when we left then when we arrived. Of course during the current situation cleanliness is of greater importance then it would have been a few months ago. I needn’t have worried though as Yew Fold was spotless. One of the reasons we chose Yew Fold was the cleanliness mentioned by other reviewers and we were not disappointed as everything was clean and fresh. I was able to relax as soon as we arrived without feeling the need to scrub everything. The cottage is a perfect size for a couple with everything we needed and the lovely email from Caroline informed us they were only a phone call away should we have needed anything further. Kirkby in Furness gives easy access to the southern lakes and the coast, so is in an ideal situation. We shall certainly be booking Yew Fold again. Our thanks to Caroline and Paul for a lovely break away from home.

Nicola February 2020

“We stayed at Yew Fold between the 14th & 17th February to celebrate our first Wedding Anniversary.”

We arrived late evening and was welcomed with a warm, clean cottage. Catherine popped over that evening to welcome us and gifted us with a lovely box of Kendal Mint Chocolates and to introduce herself. Although the weather wasn't the greatest we thoroughly enjoyed every moment and didn't let it dampen our spirits. There was a range of different games/books/DVD's to keep you occupied and would definitely recommend the Men v's Women's game (especially after a drink or two!). Should we decide to visit lovely Cumbria again, we would look to see if Yew Fold was available. Great stay!!

- Nicola, February 2020

“This cottage is exceptional.”

We had a lovely stay in what is an immaculate and comfortable apartment at the bottom of the Lake District. Perfect for exploring the nearby area and lakes, we would highly recommend staying at Yew Fold.

“We loved our stay at the Yew Fold cottage, it was perfect in every way!”

So clean and modern, yet cosy and welcoming. Everything in the place seemed to be thought out to make you feel comfortable and content, with the loving touches & attention to detail! Loved the wooden floors, big walk in shower, comfortable bed, beautiful open plan living and kitchen area...The space outside with a little garden and flowers overlooking open fields was wonderful, the location ideal for Lakes, but remote and quiet. Thank you to our hosts for their warm welcome and helpful tips, it's been the best holiday experience in the UK!

“Yew fold cottage is in a beautiful location and the cottage itself is wonderful.”

The bathroom with its very modern walk in shower is glorious. The host caroline met me on arrival and was lovely to meet. She assured me she and her family were on hand for anything i needed at anytime but left me to enjoy my stay in peace and quiet. I hope to return for another visit sometime.

“I had the pleasure of staying here for a fortnight recently and can't recommend it enough.”

From the lovely greeting and bottle of wine upon arrival to the extremely high standard of finish to everything here - the bed was incredibly comfortable - pillows and mattress perfect - the shower has a shower head better than any luxury hotel I've stayed at and the kitchen better equipped than my own. Everything is walking distance - two very lovely country pubs as well as the station and all the locals, as you would expect from such an area, much like the owners, are incredibly welcoming and friendly.

The open-plan layout comprises of sumptuous sofas and a feature wall, creating somewhere peaceful to relax after a long day out and about.

This leads over to a kitchen, layered with handmade counter-tops and grey units, as well as a pretty dining area, ideal for breakfast in the early hours.

A walk-in shower room has been beautifully designed with a fresh white suite, including a vanity unit and walk-in shower.

For a good night's sleep, settle down in the accessorised double bedroom, coordinated with bedside tables, lamps, and a freestanding mirror, all adding to the contemporary cottage feel.

There is also a built in wardrobe in the hallway between the bedroom and the shower room, suitable for housing your belongings.

There are nice open views all around and it is quiet and peaceful.

The station and Pam Cafe are a fifteen minute walk up Sandside lane and there are two pubs in Kirkby within walking distance.

Just five miles away is Broughton-in-Furness, which has much to please visitors, including a cobbled square complete with a splendid horse chestnut tree, enclosed by shops, pubs and homes.

East of Kirkby-in-Furness is the ancient market town of Ulverston which still holds a street market every Thursday and Saturday.

A wonderful holiday for two.
