Is Yew Tree Cabin Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Yew Tree Cabin is designed as a romantic retreat for couples, with just one bedroom. While children could technically stay, the property lacks specific child-friendly facilities and safety features. The hot tub and open fire pit would require constant supervision. For families, we'd recommend looking at larger properties in the area with dedicated children's facilities.

For Couples

Yew Tree Cabin is perfect for couples seeking privacy and romance. The super-king bed, wood-fired hot tub under the stars and shared fire pit create an intimate atmosphere. After hiking the fells, return to your secluded cabin for a glass of wine on the private deck. The open-plan living space means you're always together.

Pet Friendly

One well-behaved dog is welcome at Yew Tree Cabin. The Lake District location offers fantastic walking opportunities right from your doorstep. Note that the garden isn't enclosed, so you'll need to supervise outdoor time. The cabin's ground-floor layout makes it easy for pets and the wooden floors are practical.

Yew Tree Cabin Reviews

We had a wonderful stay at Yew Tree Cabin. Our hosts were fabulous, really responsive and friendly when we had asked if we could get some extra wood for the hot tub a great addition after a days walking!. The cabin was cosy, warm and comfortable and had everything needed for a lovely break away. The cabin was 2030 mins from most areas in the Lake District which was perfect for us as we were out walking most days, it was nice to come back to a quiet place to recharge ready for another day of walking.

What a lovely peaceful stay despite the horrendous weather snow wind and ... What a lovely peaceful stay despite the horrendous weather snow wind and torrential rain we had a really lovely time even ventured into the hot tub in 70mph winds

Esther

We had a great time. Can't believe how quiet it is especially just of the A66. I have one criticism and if I had read the description of the place better I would have realised. I was disappointed that the enclosed garden wasn't enclosed and therefore it made taking my dog out difficult. However let me explain i am in a wheelchair which unfortunately broke and I was left unable to walk my dog. An enclosed garden would have made it easier to allow him out to go to the toilet.

Lovely comfortable cabin in great location for a restful and relaxing. We loved the hot tub!

We enjoyed our stay and loved everything about the property. Our only complaint is the crockery wasnt left clean by the previous occupants especially the coffee mugs which were sticky and sugary. The cabin itself was perfect for our stay and would stay again.

Sinead

Came to stay for my partners 40th birthday. Was such a beautiful, peaceful and remote getaway. Absolutely loved the personal welcome hamper! The hot tub was the highlight of the trip and of course the view was incredible. Complete opposite to London which is exactly what we wanted. Will definitely be back!

Wonderful location, beautiful lodge with all you need.

Absolutely beautiful place. Great and central . Great for the dog. The best holiday we have had in this country. The hot tub takes a while to heat up so need a good few hours before you get into it but the next day its much easier . Comfy bed , everything you need and the little gift basket was a great touch . Thank you

Deborah

Excellent setting with beautiful views. The cabin is immaculate and very well equipped. Would highly recommend for the perfect, romantic break.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Yew Tree. Everything was thought of down to the minute detail. The facilities were superb! We loved the personal touch of the hamper even though we left the bottle of fizz unintentionally in the fridge, this wasnt us being rude! and the fudge was to die for! If we were to be really picky, maybe a cover over the hot tub or gazebo, sheltering you from the rain would be ideal, although not sure if that would work with the chimney! We did manage without and still had a relaxing time in the hot tub. Thank you so much for making our stay enjoyable, we will def be back for some R&R!

Absolutely loved our time at yew tree , the cabin was lovely as were the amenities around it , it's a amazing location with lots to do and see around it. Kate and the team left a basket of treats for us , and even tho me and my partner don't drink wine , we loved the fudge and jam. I would love to go back and highly recommend yew tree cabin

The cabin is lovely, clean and modern and was exactly what we were looking for. The customer service during our stay was also absolutely first class and I would highly recommend. The views from the cabin are breathtaking.

Rebecca

If you are thinking of booking this place please do you won't be disappointed. It was definitely better than we expected every thing was just perfect. We had such a gorgeous relaxing few days away just what we needed. Thank you for our stay in the cabin, we will definitely be back x

Gabriella

Absolutely lovely cabin in a beautiful place. It was so quiet and peaceful, I would 100 recommend and will definitely be booking again! My only advice would be if you want to use the hot tub the day you get there get it started ASAP as it took about 2 hours to heat initially.

Bethany

Property was gorgeous and was in a remote quiet area. Everything was fabulous and even received a little hamper which added that extra touch. Hot tub was brilliant and everything was clean. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful place to stay, got everything you need, they even leave a lovely little hamper for you. Everything was amazing

Absolutely wonderful break away, the owner was super friendly and always happy to help! , the cabin was amazing very quiet and relaxing, super comfy and cosy. Have already booked to go back again! Highly recommend!

Jessica

The place was lovely. The log cabin wqs really nice inside had everything but a kettle which we found rather funny so we had to use a pan. It was vert clean and tidy. The hot tub was nice too.

Wonderful little lodge tucked away in quiet countryside. Really clean and equipped with all you need.The log fire hot tub takes a bit of warming but well worth it just to chill in. Definitely will be returning.
