Esther
October 2024

“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.

Hello Esther, Thank you for your review. I’m sorry you broke your wheelchair. I’m afraid none of our cabins have an enclosed garden, we tried to keep them as open as possible. All the best, Kate. Property Owner
David September 2024

“Lovely comfortable cabin in great location for a restful and relaxing.”

We loved the hot tub!

- David, September 2024

Hello David, Thank you for your feedback, really pleased you loved the hot tub. All the best, Kate. Property Owner
Claire September 2024

“The cabin overall was great.”

Having not been to the Lakes before, it was ideally situated to visit everywhere. A few little niggles that could be addressed though. As tea lovers, a kettle would be preferable to the hot water tap. The pillows were interesting. One was rock hard, the other super soft, difficult to get a good balance. I’m not sure the dressing gowns had been washed, as I found nasty marks inside the cuff on one. I also think that you should mention the hot tub takes forever to get hot.

- Claire, September 2024

Hello Claire, Thanks for your feedback. We like our guests to have a lovely time. I’d always advise guests to mention any niggles at the time of their stay. Contact details are left for you if you wish to use them, (I could have addressed all you little niggles during your stay and made it even better.) The hot tub is wood fired so yes it takes time. That’s part of the joy of being outside in the fresh air at the cabins and taking in the magnificent views, whilst you get your hot tub going. Then after a little effort you can soak in the relaxing tub. We give guests instructions how to use the hot tub and how long it takes in the guest directory. All the best, Kate. Property Owner
Mandy August 2024

“We enjoyed our stay and loved everything about the property.”

Our only complaint is the crockery wasn’t 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.

- Mandy, August 2024

Hello Mandy, We are happy to hear you loved Yew Tree cabin. We are sorry to hear the crockery was left less than clean by the last guests. Hope to see you again in another occasion. Kind regards, Kate. Property Owner
Sinead June 2024

“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!

- Sinead, June 2024

Hello Sinead, How lovey to hear the cabin was just what you wanted. The views are fantastic, as you say, even though I am a bit biased! Hope to welcome you back again soo, maybe for your birthday this time? All the best, Kate and the team. Property Owner

Niamh May 2024

“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

- Niamh, May 2024

Hello Niamh, Thank you for your review. It’s great to hear it was your best holiday in the Uk. All the best, Kate and the team. Property Owner
Deborah April 2024

“Excellent setting with beautiful views.”

The cabin is immaculate and very well equipped. Would highly recommend for the perfect, romantic break.

- Deborah, April 2024

Hello Deborah, It’s a wonderful place for a romantic getaway, so glad you could make the most of it. All the best, Kate. Property Owner
Kaye April 2024

“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 wasn’t 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!

- Kaye, April 2024

Hello Kaye, Thank you for your feedback, we’re happy to hear you thoroughly enjoyed your stay. Obviously everyone has their own ideas how to improve a place, but we thought long and hard about how we wanted the cabins to be. We decided we wanted them as open to the stars and the countryside views as possible. We look forward to welcoming you back. All the best, Kate. Property Owner

“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.

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 February 2024

“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.

- Gabriella, February 2024

Hello Gabrielle, Thank you for your feedback and we look forward to welcoming you back. All the best, Kate and the team. Property Owner
Bethany December 2023

“Property was gorgeous and was in a remote quiet area.”

Hello Bethany, Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the little extra touches. We hope to welcome you back to YewTree or one of our other cabins. All the best, Kate and the team. Property Owner

Jessica October 2023

“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.

- Jessica, October 2023

Hello Jessica, Bless you, there’s a boiling hot water tap so no need to use a pan! (There is information in the guest directory telling guests this, in case they haven’t come across one before.) Next time if you think some thing is missing, just give the owner a ring and they should be able to help. Glad you enjoyed your stay. All the best, Kate Property Owner
Olivia October 2023

“Lovely place with a great view.”

Very modern and spacious. We enjoyed our stay but there was a few things which made us feel uncomfortable. The bedding didn’t seem clean. There was a stain on top of the duvet , an eyelash extension on top of one of the pillows and also a stain on the inside of the bedding. The memory foam pillows were too hard for us but this is personal preference. The plates and cutlery were also dirty and the hot tub water was dirty.

- Olivia, October 2023

Hello Olivia, Glad you enjoyed your two night stay. I’m sorry to hear you thought some things weren’t clean. If you’d said something at the time I would have been happy to come and have a look and if needs be have changed things for you. It’s always better to say something at the time because you can’t rectify something once a guest has left. There are two pillows provided one is memory foam and the other is sheep’s wool so softer. Again if you’d got in touch I could have brought you a different pillow. All the best, Kate. Property Owner
Greg August 2023

“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.
