Helen 
“This is our second year of renting & looks like it's our last as the property is now not listed.”
We loved the peaceful setting and it was well situated for walking and exploring the area. The facilities were great, two bathrooms, three bedrooms, a lovely wood burning fire in the lounge, and a large dining/kitchen. Really appreciated being able to rent this cottage. Thank-you for the memories!

Graham “This cottage is so comfortable, and in a beautiful location, with views of the golf course in front and the mointains.”
This is the second time we have stayed at this cottage in 6 weeks, its like home from home. After a hard days walking returning to a cosy log fire is great. the heating system is very good plenty of radiators, essensial after coming home with wet gear. When going away with a friend that is a good cheff, the kitchen is important. this was very well equiped. We will be going back.
- Graham, February 2024Awat “It’s a great property to stay.”
Nice and quiet area.
- Awat, December 2023Helen “We found the cottage very welcoming, warm and cosy.”
Well equipped kitchen- though there was only a couple of sharp knives to use. Having the heating on all day, and plenty of wood to burn - it was a real treat to come back to at the end of a days walk. Would come again.
- Helen, December 2023Helen “As described.”
Great base for walking as you can get on the Eskdale trial - straight from the front door- left or right (up the road then watch out for the metal finger posts). The nearest pub was the King George IV. Beautifully quiet, you can hear &/or see so much wildlife; owls, bats, deer, toads, newt, we even saw a badger!
- Helen, August 2023Nicola “A lovely cottage in a magnificent setting.”
The views from all forward facing windows of the mountain ranges were simply breathtaking. Parking was excellent for two cars and in a great location to visit this side of the Lake District. The kitchen was fairly well equipped, the beds were comfortable and the cottage was always lovely and warm. We all had a fantastic holiday in a very unique, quirky cottage. The cottage is in need of some general maintenance, and whilst is clean, it does require some attention to remove all dust, cobwebs and dirt from the windows. A welcome pack would be nice if you've travelled a long distance as shops are sparce and perhaps a folder to advise on local amenities, operation of equipment and local walks. On advert, this is a 6 bed cottage and describes a single room with a sofa bed, however, this is a childs cushion that folds out, which is only suitable for anyone under the age of 5, staying overnight at their friends. However, there is a full size bed in a small nook on the ground floor, situated between the kitchen and dining room which does require a carpet and not rugs and really is only suitable for an adult. Despite the above details, this was a great cottage and we had a great holiday!
- Nicola, April 2023Nigel “Wonderful place to stay – handy for the really spectacular bits of Cumbria and on the edge of what must be England's most spectacular golf course.”
Some great walks and bike rides in the area. The cottage itself is lovely – warm and comfy, with a fantastic new kitchen. Owner is super-helpful. Make sure you stock up at a supermarket on the way in as shops are few and far between in this area.
- Nigel, February 2023Shona “Yew tree cottage is perfect it has everything you need and lovely and cosy the kitchen is big and well stocked and very clean the views are stunning we will be booking again for next year one of the best properties we have stayed in .”
- Shona, February 2023Awat “Overall amazing place to stay.”
Peaceful environment. The only one thing we would concern is the person who should be available if we need any assistance we tried to contact them but they didn’t answer our phone calls. Thanks
- Awat, January 2023Paul “Great cottage located on a very quiet golfing estate.”
Plenty of wildlife on your doorstep - Red Squirrels, Deer & Birds of Prey seen from your window! Great space within the cottage and the large modern kitchen with plenty of utensils is fantastic! Scarfell Pike and Wasdale 30 minutes away and other great locations not too far! Dark skies at night for the stars too! Would stay here again!!
- Paul, September 2022Lee “A spacious and relatively well-equipped property.”
The decor is looking a little tired now, as is some of the equipment. Instructions on the various services within the property were somewhat lacking - guidance on use of the TV would have been helpful, as would the handling of trash/recycling. A welcome pack would have been nice.
- Lee, September 2022Sarah “We loved our stay at Yew Cottage.”
Perfect location for hiking and visiting the local area. My hubby even found time to squeeze in a cheeky game of golf at the amazing course which was a very pleasant surprise for him as we weren’t aware it was there until we arrived. People so friendly. Views amazing too. So wonderfully quiet and peaceful.
- Sarah, July 2022Elizabeth “This our 3rd stay in this beautiful cottage, we feel so at home , especially my husband who lived here for 6 years in the 70’s with his family.”
The facilities are just right. Perhaps a we’ll behaved dog would be nice but not necessary. Looking forward to our next visit.
- Elizabeth, May 2022Alexander “Great property but Sykes are a really poor company to deal with when you need to contact someone.”
- Alexander, April 2022Nicholas “Very comfortable and well provisioned.”
Great location off the beaten track
- Nicholas, February 2022William “The place is beautiful and peaceful.”
A lovely place to unwind and relax. We will be coming back.
- William, February 2022Ashley “We arrived late at night on friday night tired from a lovely 4 hour journey and was welcomed by an extremely well kept cottage which was so nice to see when youve just driven the length of the country!”
the Kitchen is amazing and definitely a key point of the property, the rooms were all super clean and well kept and the facilities were spot on, couldnt fault the place at all, although it rained all the way through our stay it was such a lovely place to come back to and sit and warm up by the fire! (the snug chair is also a good bonus) lots of space for plenty of people and will definitely come back again!
- Ashley, February 2022Elizabeth “Beautiful place to stay.”
Mattress on single’s a little uncomfortable. Only downside. We are booked May 22 , that says it all.
- Elizabeth, October 2021Tracy “Didn’t plan on doing any washing , but due to me falling in a stream ,needed to use the washing machine.”
Unable as not working. The main bathroom toilet had issues flushing. We phoned these matters in but heard absolutely nothing back. Disappointed.

The property
Eskadale Green 5.3 miles. Yew Tree Cottage lies in the small village of Ravenglass, around 10 miles from England's north-west coast and within the Lake District. Set within the Eskdale Estate and within easy reach of both the wonderful peaks in one direction, and sandy beaches on the coast in the other, this property would suit a family who want the best of both worlds. Take a moment to appreciate this cute white cottage before heading indoors and finding the first room on your left, the sitting room, where you can light the open fire in the winter months and spend your first evening planning where you want to explore on your Lakes trip. Wake early and tiptoe into the snug on the opposite side of the hall with a coffee and a book you can't put down for some early morning time alone, with a woodburning stove featured in this room to warm your toes. The kitchen/diner is where you can delight in making use of the range of appliances, and with the combined space it turns what might be a cooking chore into a chance for quality time together preparing a meal. Look out of all the windows featuring pretty views of the hills outside and the distant mountains as you pass by and move upstairs to the bedrooms. The master bedroom containing a double bed is bright and airy, and it benefits from an en-suite shower room for your added luxury. The other two bedrooms comprise of a twin room and a single bedroom with additional sofa bed (suitable for a small child only) allowing for various party types, served by the well-presented bathroom containing a bath with hand-held shower attachment. Outside you can find both a lawned area and a patio with furniture, great for getting outside and making the most of any sunshine that comes your way. Begin your exploration with a trip on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway for a scenic ride on their historic steam train. The Lake District can provide you with many opportunities to try activities you haven't done before, like giving canoeing or paddle-boarding a go at West Lakes Adventure where they can provide you will all the gear and kit you will need to enjoy a day of firsts! Yew Tree Cottage is a lovely property from which you can embark on your Lakes adventure.

About the location
ESKDALE GREEN
Coniston 10 miles.
The small village of Eskdale Green sits amongst beautiful Lakeland countryside and consists of a scattering of cottages, some farm dwellings and a number of outstanding traditional English pubs serving good food. An area relatively unknown to many Lakeland visitors, this great location boasts a skyline dominated by the towering peaks of Scafell - England's highest peak, as well as Great Gable, Hard Knott, Harter Fell and Muncaster Fell, whilst the nearby stunning valleys of Eskdale, Wasdale, Ennerdale and Dunnerdale provide breathtaking and ever-changing scenery to be enjoyed throughout the year. The valley is notable as being one of few major valleys in the Lake District not to have its own lake, although several tarns are perched above the valley sides. Local attractions include Muncaster Castle, the World Owl Centre and the Ravenglass to Eskdale miniature railway, one of the most beautiful train journeys imaginable. With both beautiful Wastwater - the deepest lake in the country and St Olaf's - the smallest church, amongst the many well known landmarks in this awe inspiring and beautiful area also within easy reach, this stunning location will have visitors returning time and time again.
