"We had a fabulous stay at Yewtree House with our family, the house is spacious and the facilities are perfect for a large group."
Everyone commented about how comfortable the beds were and the bathrooms were perfect! The house is in a lovely quiet village, but close enough to main roads so you can explore the area. Would definitely recommend!

"We stayed at Yewtree House for a week to celebrate my birthday with my family who live opposite ends of the country."
The house was fantastic, very well equipped and had everything we needed. We really loved the hot tub and games room. Location is great too, walkable to the local pub/ restaurant and at the back of the house a lovely walk all the way to Pooley Bridge (3 miles) then took the bus back to Yewtree 10/10 for everything, no issues at all, fabulous house
