“Amazing secluded cottage.”

Booked for my partners 30th as a surprise and we were both blown away with the amenities, the views and the peace. Plenty of lovely walks around and a lovely village not too far with a very friendly pub. Both us and our dog Luna had the most amazing weekend - even if she hated the peasants!

“Yew tree cottage was beautiful, spotlessly clean and in the most peaceful location, we would definitely visit again and recommend anyone wanting a lovely peaceful holiday choose this location.”

The hot tub was a bonus on a warm evening and the property owners ensured it was kept immaculately clean.

David July 2024

“This was our second time at Yew Tree Cottage and hopefully we will be returning.”

Such a lovely setting and the cottage as before was very comfortable and provided everything we could need. A very relaxing cottage to unwind in after many long walks with our dog.

- David, July 2024
Felicity May 2024

“Very well placed to explore the Lake District.”

Beautifully appointed!! The hot tub was a really relaxing end to the day! Hospitality of the hosts was hugely appreciated. They were so very helpful when we had a crisis with our car! In all an absolutely superb relaxing holiday!

“Fantastic cottage.”

Really clean and tidy. Plenty of space and the hot tub was brilliant. Very peaceful. No phone signal and only WiFi in the bedroom wasn’t an issue for us. Brilliant views. Would 100% stay again. Thanks

David April 2024

“The cushions on the settee did move forward and needed resetting each day.”

information folder , should have instructions for leaving day. the cottage is in a dead spot so we only got instructions/text once on the main road. on how to leave the cottage. as we had to leave a day early due to looking after granddaughter.

- David, April 2024
Mark March 2024

“The cottage was excellent.”

Just what my wife and I needed. Wish we had the time to stay longer. Only observation was the wifi was at times weak and intermittent.

- Mark, March 2024
Craig March 2024

“Excellent property, very clean and in an ideal location for what I was looking for.”

. Hot tub was great however the lift arm needs some repair. I'll definitely recommend to friends and family.

- Craig, March 2024

Thanks for your comments but I can assure you the hot tub lifter was working perfectly before your arrival and is now being repaired, the problem was addressed as soon as we were made aware. However this problem could only occur if opened incorrectly. Property Owner
Steve February 2024

“They had a recent leak in the bedroom, so there was a damp smell.”

The long drive up a single lane with large pot holes was not enjoyable.

- Steve, February 2024

Apologies for the leak it had only happened in the week and it had been very wet and windy here, we think it is wind directional related through a outside door. We dealt with the problem has soon as change over permitted, unfortunately there seemed to be a residual smell Mr Adams picked up on. The road is as advertised (2 miles) and is a public highway so we can not do anything about the pot holes, but I have to say they were fixed in November 2023. The stormy weather conditions over the last few months has not helped any situation. Property Owner
Joanne May 2023

“Loved the cottage, the comfort of the bed and hot tub after a long day walking was great loved the fact what it was secluded away from the hustle and bustle.”

Claire August 2022

“We both really enjoyed our recent visit to Yew Tree Cottage.”

The setting is absolutely stunning, we loved waking up to the sound of sheep and cows and being lulled to sleep by the owls! The hot tub is the perfect relaxing remedy after a long walk or just for fun! All the amenities in the cottage were perfect, as were the hosts! Would definitely love to go again and would recommend this cottage highly!

- Claire, August 2022
Jenny July 2022

“Beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting.”

Great base to go exploring from, with the added treat of relaxing in the hot tub in the evening. The single track lane that we had to drive along was quite scary at times, when we met other cars. But it was in the cottage description.

- Jenny, July 2022
Kimberley July 2022

“We had a great stay at Yew Tree.”

Everything we needed was there. The cottages was stunning as were the surrounding views!

- Kimberley, July 2022
David July 2022

“Fantastic cottage.”

Spotlessly clean with everything you could need. Comfy bed. Enjoyed the hot tub and outside area. Set in a very rural location with total peace and quiet. Good location as a base for visiting the lakes and also perfect for our dog. Owner very happy to help if you had any questions. We will return.

- David, July 2022
Simon June 2022

“Lorraine & Neil have created a wonderful holiday home at Yew Tree Cottage, finished to the highest of standards.”

A surprisingly spacious living area with high vaulted ceilings and exposed beams throughout, with a fantastic walk-in shower in a modern bathroom. A lovely 2 tiered patio and to top it off a secluded hot tub with stunning views of the Coniston fells. Even the bedroom had lovely four poster bed and plenty of room, for a 2 person cottage it certainly packs a punch! Some beautiful walks from our doorstep and the local pub is only 2.09 miles away, GPS tracked!! Coniston was a 15 minute drive, where again, plenty of walks to tackle and Ambleside is half an hour. A peaceful location and having the owners on site, if there are any issues, just pop to see them and nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommended.

- Simon, June 2022
Mary June 2022

“Like most other people who have reviewed this property there is a lot to be positive about.”

The kitchen was my favourite part of the house. It’s very well equipped and the whole place is pretty spotless. The bedroom though. Oh dear. It may be a Hypnos mattress as previously stated, but that is one of the most uncomfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. I struggle to sleep so for me being in a strange bed is always a bit of a concern. However I got used to it and could have lived with it had it not been for the massive exposed skylight in the roof that looms over your head. So daylight shines bright from around 4.30. This is unacceptable really it is.

- Mary, June 2022

Thank you for the feedback about your stay with us at Yew Tree Cottage. It's great to hear that there is a lot to be positive about, including the cleaning and how well equipped the property is. In regards to the bedroom, the Hypnos mattress has been great for the vast majority of people that have stayed here and I'm sorry to hear it wasn't to your liking but can understand that everyone has their own preferences. In relation to the skylight in the bedroom. If it had been reported as an issue, we are always here to help. If this was mentioned during your stay, we would have been able to provide you with a cover for this. Property Owner
Mark December 2021

“We had a fabulous stay at Yew Tree Cottage.”

It is very well equipped, cosy and welcoming. It was a perfect place to see in the New Year with a Christmas tree there to welcome us and fizz too ! We did not need to bring a thing with us. Georgeous views from the door and very welcome hot tub after a long walk.

- Mark, December 2021
Richard August 2021

“The cottage was in a lovely place but the pub was nearly 3 miles away not 2 ,and the chairs were different from the pictures they looked designer but were not comfortable, the bed was soft and lumpy and so uncomfortable that we came home a day early, the cottage was also very dark and the WiFi only worked in the bedroom, also the road to the cottage was overgrown and brushed against our vehicle.”

The distance to the pub is not the end of the world but the cottage needs to be much more comfortable and needs more light.

- Richard, August 2021

Many thanks for your feedback and we were pleased that you enjoyed the beautiful location of Yew Tree cottage but sorry to here you found things not to your satisfaction. I can confirm the pub is 2 miles away as per Google maps but may have appeared longer to yourselves. We were surprised to hear that you found the chairs and bed uncomfortable as nobody has mentioned this before, the mattress is a Hypnos and most people find it very comfortable as for the chairs and sofa we did replace them but with Ekornes Stressless which is specifically designed around comfort. As for the Wi-Fi we do not advertise this due to the location of the cottage. Most county lanes in the Lake District will have verge encroachment at that time of year and it is a public highway. As for the issue of light, it is a period property in the Lake District National Park. Property Owner
Marjorie July 2021

“This is a lovely cottage in a superb location.”

There is a 2 -mile long single track road to drive before reaching the cottage, a mixed blessing. The owners are very friendly and helpful, there is plenty of safe dog walking in the vicinity and the hot tub is a great added touch.

- Marjorie, July 2021
Dianne July 2021

Victoria October 2020

“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.

- Victoria, October 2020

“Absolutely fantastic holiday at yew tree, fantastic location for us, quite and peaceful.”

- Shannon, August 2020
Beth March 2020

“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.

- Beth, March 2020
Alan March 2020

“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!

- Alan, March 2020
Tim December 2019

“We had a fabulous time staying in this cottage for our honeymoon.”

We enjoyed the remoteness of the cottage, it was a total escape from everyday life. The hot tub was a bonus and overall the cottage was warm, cosy and we didn't want to leave!

- Tim, December 2019
Zoe December 2019

“We booked this cottage for a weekend stay and absolutely loved it!”

It had everything we needed and more. A beautiful location and a fabulous cottage - not to mention underfloor heating (divine). The hot tub and Trivial Pursuit were some of our many highlights. Would definitely stay again!

- Zoe, December 2019
Lee November 2019

“Perfect for a quiet, relaxing weekend away from it all.”

Cottage is stunning, as is the view..! We'll be back...!

- Lee, November 2019
Jodie November 2019

“This is the 2nd time we have visited Yew Tree Cottage.”

It was just as lovely as our last visit. It has everything you need and more; immaculately clean and in the most beautiful surroundings. Lorraine and Amber (the dog) were so friendly. Our spaniel absolutely loved the surroundings, she is a nervous dog and the security of all the fields being walled we both and our Honey felt safe and secure. Wonderful place for dogs :) We will most definitely be back. Thank you.

- Jodie, November 2019
Fran September 2019

“We spent a wonderful relaxing week in this superb cottage.”

The photos do not do the property justice & we would recommend it to anyone. If it’s privacy & peace you are seeking in a beautiful location with plenty to do within a 15mike radius this place would suit you. The kitchen was properly kitted out which meant self catering was a real option, the hot tub worked at the right temperature & the view from the hot tub was phenomenal. We took our bikes & cycled miles round Coniston & Windermere, we swam in the sea at Bootle, travelled on a steam train from Ravenglass & walked up hill & down dale in the surrounding area. Wilson’s pub 2 miles away is friendly with real ale & a fab chef. We’ve been twice now & will be returning.

- Fran, September 2019
Colin August 2019

Beautiful place.

- Lisa, August 2019
Clive August 2019

“The pictures do not begin to show just what a wonderful location this is.”

The property itself is also lovely. If getting away from everything is what you are looking for you will not be disappointed. The kitchen is well equipped and the local pub is great for the odd meal, you really don’t need to travel further. Lots of scenic walks from the doorstep. Thank you Neil and Lorraine, will definitely be back.

- Clive, August 2019

The cottage was bigger than we thought the hot tub was in a great secluded area but could also see out to the lovely views

- Phil, May 2019
Fran March 2019

“This property is stunning.”

The facilities better than advertised and far roomier. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful & the view from the very private hot tub amazing. We had such a wonderful break we’ve booked for Sept - can’t come soon enough.

- Fran, March 2019
Catherine December 2018

“Yew Tree Cottage is a wonderful, relaxing place to stay, so comfortable and in a beautiful location.”

The owners are really friendly and helpful. We had a perfect holiday there.

- Catherine, December 2018
Katie November 2018

“The pictures do not do this beautiful cottage justice.”

It was absolutely stunning! Very modern amenities and exceptionally clean. Fantastic to find a place which has a hot tub and allows dogs! The location was perfect for us - far enough from civilisation to feel away from it all, but close enough to nip to the pub and to local amenities. Excellent walking straight from the door step.

- Katie, November 2018
Julia October 2018

“A lovely cottage, well equipped and with a fabulous hot tub.”

No wi-if or mobile phone reception provided the complete get away. Our dogs loved walks that were accessible right from the door. Thank you for a great holiday.

- Julia, October 2018
Mandy September 2018

“Yew Tree Cottage was exceptional, a beautiful setting, peaceful, lovely walks and a great base.”

There was everything you needed. The owners are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend it.

- Mandy, September 2018
Steph July 2018

“The cottage was beautiful, lovely style, very modern and beautifully clean.”

It is very remote though, no phone signal and no WiFi and, with a 2 mile driveway it is literally in the middle of nowhere, which we loved. You need to go shopping on your way because there was nothing there when we got there, so if you’re coming a long way, it might be an idea to have some essentials (tea, milk, bread etc.) just so you don’t have to go straight back out again after a long journey, which we did and we were exhausted!

- Steph, July 2018

Jodie October 2017

“We absolutely loved staying in Yew Tree Cottage!”

It was beautiful! Spotlessly clean, perfect location, beautiful surroundings. The cottage was so homely, the bed super comfy, gorgeous bathroom and kitchen. Loved the hot tub! Our cocker spaniel was in her element with 100 acres of farmland to run around in. The Griffins, along with Amber the dog were super helpful and lovely. The location was perfect and under 20 minutes drive to most places. I am really fussy about the cleanliness of places and almost always have to clean everything before we use anything when we arrive in holiday rentals. There was literally nothing to clean when we arrived! It was immaculate!!! Thank you to the Griffins for a wonderfully relaxing holiday. We will be back!

- Jodie, October 2017

“Yew Tree Cottage was amazing, had everything we needed.”

Location is great, loved being so remote. The hot tub was a lovely way to relax after long days out walking. Owners very helpful. Made our honeymoon feel special and we were even blessed with glorious sunshine for most the week. We will definitely be returning!

- Laura, May 2016

S April 2016

“Yew Tree Cottage is by far the BEST place we have ever stayed in.”

We loved the location; secluded, peaceful and just idyllic. It was a perfect get away from civilisation and work. Having no mobile phone signal or wifi was just what we needed to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. This place is amazing, just magnificent. We are already looking at coming back. The photos do not do this beautiful cottage justice. The owners have done a grand job on renovations and will do anything to help make your stay as perfect as possible. What a find. Thank you.

- S, April 2016
Scott February 2016

“Yew Tree was a wonderful cottage, and in an good area to go and relax in.”

The cottage was done to a very high standard. Hot tub is a great feature along with the log burner in the living area. Great location being close to Coniston lake. Beautiful part of the Lake District.

- Scott, February 2016

Cannot wait to return to the Lakes, it was our first visit, but certainly won't be our last.

Llinos February 2015

“An absolutely fabulous property finished off to a high standard.”

Had great walks from the door for the dog, the bed was comfortable, loved the slate finish on the bathroom & the underfloor heating was great. The wood burner was very cosy, and the oven was a great gadget. The owners have really spent time with the décor. I loved the no signal & WiFi, you get time away from the hustle & bustle and appreciate the views & location. The perfect romantic retreat for couples deserving of the star rating. Thank you for a lovely stay.

- Llinos, February 2015
Claire January 2015

- Claire, January 2015
Kate January 2015

We loved the luxury extras of the hot tub, whirlpool bath and log fire. It made my partners 30th birthday very special. The owners were very friendly and helpful.

- Kate, January 2015
Lisa January 2015

“A fab cottage - great for a honeymoon.”

Luxurious inside and out and the hot tub was a real bonus. Ten out of ten all round. Great base for the area.

The hot tub was brilliant, we used it everyday. Walks straight from the door were excellent.

- Gary, May 2014
Kevin May 2014

“The quality of the fittings and furnishings of the cottage were to an exceptionally high standard, probably the best we've visited.”

The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom superb, kitchen, lounge, furniture all of very high quality. Extras like 3D TV, quality iPod dock, and of course the hot tub, brilliant. The cleaning of the cottage was also excellent, everything was spotless.

- Kevin, May 2014
Sandra May 2014

“A fabulous cottage for a wonderful get away from it all week.”

The surroundings were splendid and the owners were very helpful. The hot tub was very welcome after a day's outing but we were happy not to go far but just to enjoy the splendid location. Our dog had a great time as he was free to roam.

- Sandra, May 2014
Charlotte April 2014

“A very quiet and private location.”

Helpful and friendly owners. Fantastic old cottage which has been upgraded meticulously on the inside to include all mod cons. The hot tub was an amazing luxury after a hard days mountain biking and walking on the fells! We have already pre booked for next year we were so impressed.

- Charlotte, April 2014
Amy March 2014

“Yew Tree Cottage exceeded our expectations in a number of ways.”

The finish throughout the cottage gave it a 5 star feel, the pictures really don't do it justice! The little extras in the cottage also make a big difference, such as logs for the log burner, complimentary Blu-Ray 3D DVDs with 3D glasses. Our favourite was a lovely thick dressing gown each which helped when jumping out of the jacuzzi into the cold air! We absolutely loved every minute of our stay and we will definitely be returning for a second visit!

- Amy, March 2014
Gemma February 2014

“The cottage was a real touch of luxury in beautiful, tranquil surroundings.”

The owners were friendly and helpful beyond expectation. We particularly enjoyed the cosy underfloor heating, log burner and private hot tub; it was perfect for the cold winter nights during our stay. We have already recommended the cottage to friends and family, but not before making sure we got our next visit booked in first!

- Gemma, February 2014
Andrea January 2014

“Everything was absolutely fabulous.”

Extremely relaxing and so lovely. We all had a great time including our dogs Molly & Libby. The cottage has everything you require and more. The hot tub is an added bonus! The wood burner is heaven when you have been out walking. Absolutely loved being off the beaten track as there wasn't anything we missed. We will definitely be going back, can't wait!

- Andrea, January 2014
Stuart January 2014

“Great surroundings, off the beaten track, excellent welcome and help throughout our stay.”

Great nights spent in front of the log fire and in the amazing hot tub. Great local pub which serves excellent food. Already trying to plan for a return visit.

- Stuart, January 2014
Ann January 2014

“This cottage was equipped and decorated to a high standard.”

It was very comfortable and contrasted well with the isolation of it, which we also loved. The main room was warm - we lit the fire once but didn't really need it - and the whole place had a good feel about it. A hot tub is always a plus and we thoroughly appreciated that after each day's walking. We will definitely consider booking again - and at this time of year.

- Ann, January 2014
Sukhdeep December 2013

Rich December 2013

“Truly fantastic break away, the lodge was immaculate and spotlessly clean and far better than the photos gave it justice!”

Set in beautiful settings, this traditional lodge had all the mod cons and more. It was warm and cosy, lovely luxuries of a hot tub, log burner and four poster bed. The owner was fantastic, he gave us a guided tour on arrival, supplied us with some 3D glasses and Blu Ray DVDs as an extra.. Fantastic break away highly recommended.

The property

This well-equipped cottage lies within acres of delicate Lake District countryside, nearby to the village of Torver and two miles from Coniston.

Originally a barn, this inviting cottage has been wonderfully renovated to provide for quality accommodation for couples in this serene part of the country.

The open plan living area consists of the well-equipped kitchen and dining set, along with the comfortable sitting area completed with a flat screen TV and wood burning stove.

The tastefully decorated double bedroom is accompanied by the luxurious bathroom that boasts a walk-in rain shower and separate bath.

With the added bonus of a large patio area and private hot tub, this cottage has everything you need for an enjoyable break to the UK’s most popular National Park.

It must also be mentioned that the property is pet-friendly, so your pooch can enjoy the outdoors too.

There are plenty of enthralling pursuits from the doorstep, ranging from woodland walks through Grizedale Forest to the hiking up the fells that display some of the finest scenery imaginable.

Just two miles away is the well-known village of Coniston, home to the Ruskin Museum and the breathtaking Coniston Water, here you can make the most of the wealth of activities on offer or simple watch on from the lovely Bluebird Cafe.

The cottage is also with reach of Bowness-on-Windermere, offering a range of pubs and restaurants along with marvelous attractions such as the Beatrix Potter Museum.

A cruise across Lake Windermere is also highly recommended.

Benefiting from the quiet positioning of the cottage whilst not being far from the action in Windermere and Coniston, this cosy retreat is a great choice, any time of year.
