“Yewtree Cottage and Wendy was absolutely wonderful. The place was exactly as advertised and fit our needs perfectly. The location is perfect for a secluded stay in the area. Plenty of relaxing seating area in the cottage, the kitchen and the outdoor bench at night being a standout. The host was very thorough in their booking and gave us plenty of information before and during the stay. 10/10 would stay here again.”
“Great getaway. Such a peaceful home and everything went well. Wendy was such a great host understanding the situation and making it comfortable.”
“A beautiful cottage in a lovely peaceful location.
There are lovely views over the scenic Eskdale Golf Course from all 3 bedrooms and we really enjoyed walking from the front door looking for the red squirrels and woodpecker and just soaking up the peace and quiet.
Although in a quiet location there are lots of lovely places to visit nearby and we had a wonderful time.
The cottage is well equipped and was spotlessly clean and very spacious and we hope to return.”
“We had a really wonderful stay in Wendy’s cottage. It is in a really beautiful, peaceful spot. We loved the space, particularly downstairs; it was perfect for a relaxing family holiday. Wendy was a helpful, friendly host. I would thoroughly recommend!”

“A lovely well equipped cottage in a very tranquil setting.
Had everything we needed for 4 adults and 1 toddler over the course of a weekend stay.
Comfy beds, blissful views and lots of space indoors at really good value! We managed to get out and walk up Slight Side and Sca Fell during our stay, and Muncaster Fell also has an easy route starting from the door.”
“What a beautiful place in such a private area, felt at home, it was very cosy and peaceful. Had a great time laughing around the fireplace, very big kitchen with everything we needed to cook. Thank you for hosing us, hope to stay with you again very soon.”
“We had a great time at Wendy's cottage. I loved spaciousness of kitchen and cosy evenings at the fireplace. Children loved playing hide and seek at the cottage and they spend every morning looking out for birds out of the kitchen window.
Very close to Muncaster Castle, Roman Baths and on the way of Eskdale trail.
Wendy left for us book with all necessary numbers and informations about local attractions.
We love it and hopefully will come in the summertime.”
“We had a lovely long weekend at Wendy's Cottage. The directions were spot on and we found it no problem.
The cottage was very clean and warm when we arrived and had everything we needed.
The open fire was lovely on the cold evenings!
Beautiful walks straight from the cottage.
Wendy was really responsive with any questions we had. Would 100% recommend and hope to return one day!”

“We had the most wonderful and wholesome family Christmas in this cottage.
We’re a family of 2 adults and 3 teenagers, it was perfect! Enough space to be together in every room and enough rooms to have time apart.
Kitchen was well equipped to make Christmas dinner, the views and peaceful surroundings made a morning coffee surreal. The isolation made star gazing an absolute dream!
Thank you so much for hosting us, we hope to return one day. Xx”
“We had a wonderful stay at this cottage and only wish we could have stayed longer than one night! The location is stunning and peaceful, with beautiful mountain views that made for a perfect backdrop to our getaway.
The cottage exceeded our expectations. All three bedrooms were spotless, spacious, and very comfortable. The living room became our favorite spot - we spent the evening cozied up by the logburner, watching DVDs from their excellent collection and playing board games late into the night. The thoughtful touches like the board games and hi fi system really enhanced our stay and made it feel like a home away from home.
The kitchen was both beautiful and well-equipped with everything we needed. It’s clear the owners have put a lot of care into making sure guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay.
They had a guidebook on nearby shops and restaurants which was also helpful!
We’re already planning our return visit - next time for more than just one night 😊”
“Wendy is very nice! The view around the house is very beautiful! The house is clean and comfortable！ We spent a good night here!😄”
“What more can I say but wow. This is a a gem of a house located in the shadow of the pike. Has anything you could ever need for a comfortable stay. Beautiful surroundings and a lovely home. Will be back!”
“Absolutely lovely place to stay! Definitely follow Wendy’s directions or you will get lost… My friends and I really enjoyed our time there 😊”
“Great to stay again, thank you Wendy!!”
“Great place to stay, nice rural location.”
“beautiful cottage and location, had a slight hiccup with how much rain there was and a bit of flooding downstairs, phoned wendy immediately and she sent someone out strait away and moved us to another cottage. unfortunately the weather can't be controlled so this isn't reflected in the review but worth mentioning as how quickly it was delt with! I would definitely go back and stay again”
“A perfect spot for a few days walking in the area. Lovely cosy cottage with everything we needed.”
“A lovely cosy cottage in a stunning location. A great base for outdoor activities in the fells or along the coast.”
“We had had a great time with our family. The cottage is clean and cosy and had everything we needed. There are many nice walks and other activities nearby. The communication with Wendy was very easy.
regards, Hilke and family”
“Nice cottage on edge of lovely golf course (I'm not normally into golf courses, but the location of this one is stunning), with beautiful views of the hills. A good deal to do in the area, e.g. the little steam railway up to near Boot, where we had a good lunch and a little walk; sea beaches (e.g. Silecroft); Muncaster Castle (expensive but good, especially the birds of prey and chance to try archery etc); and Wast Water, the local lake, which is stunning and has a nice inn at the far end for lunch. Wendy really was a excellent host. We did have one problem -- that the wifi wasn't working, nor therefore the TV etc. -- but Wendy was very responsive and went the extra mile, making the place over the road available for us to do our work and watch TV, since it's wifi was working. She also was found and posted me my watch, which I left behind. So, despite the wifi problem, the quality of the property and setting and Wendy's excellence as a host makes this 5*.”
“Wonderful accommodation... so quiet ! with a cosy log fire and perfectly equipped kitchen. Wendy of course is lovely and the perfect host. Couldn't ask for more. Extremely good value for money. Great walks straight from the cottage.
nb: Wabberthwaite post office is your one-stop-shop for everything. Superb local butchers, grocers, firewood, newsagents - they have anything you might have forgotten.
The flip side is I absolutely detest airbnb, their needy communications are like a computer virus.”
“Beautiful place with lovely scenery. Cosy and warm with a stunning fire place. Would highly recommend”
“Lovely place, very quiet and close to scaffel pike, very easy to get to but would recommend typing yewtree cottage into maps rather than the post code as we had a little issues finding the place.”
“Fantastic stay! Lovely area too!”
“The property and the location was really beautiful perfect who loves nature”
“I had the most wonderful stay here. Everything was spotless, beautifully decorated and exactly as described, if not better. The location is ideal with stunning views and only a short drive to scafell. Would definitely recommend!”

“Great cottage at the foot of Muncaster fell. Very spacious and well maintained, would definitely stay again.”
“We had a wonderful stay at Wendy’s place! It’s in a remote, peaceful location surrounded by beautiful nature—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the outdoors. There are some lovely walks nearby, and we made lots of great memories during our time there.
The kitchen was superbly equipped and very modern—everything we needed was there. We did have a minor plumbing issue during the weekend, but Wendy handled it quickly and fairly, which we really appreciated.
There were quite a few spiders and cobwebs around, but given the woodland setting and all the surrounding trees, that’s probably hard to avoid.
Wendy also gave us some great local recommendations which really added to the experience. Thank you for a memorable stay!”
“Had a lovely time with Family. Great location and cottage.”
“Yewtree Cottage is in a quiet and remote area with easy access to the golf club and centrally located for walks/hikes in the area. The cottage itself is clean and cosy and as described in the listing. The cottage does have some signs of aging but nothing more than you’d expect. The only real fault we found was that the showers are only useable if handheld as the head holders are either low down or fall down. Other than that everything was great. The kitchen is stacked with high quality utensils and the views are amazing. Thank you for allowing us to stay, I would recommend the cottage!”
“Heerlijk sfeervol huis in een rustige omgeving, waar veel te doen en te beleven is.. Ook zeer geschikt mrt kinderen. We komen graag terug.”
“Wonderful location. Super host. A fabulous birthday treat!”
“very nice house in beautiful surroundings!”
“Our stay at Yewtree Cottage in the Lake District was nothing short of unforgettable. Surrounded by breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful scenery, the setting alone instantly captured our hearts. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed into a spotless, cosy, and carefully prepared home that made us feel completely at ease.
Yewtree Cottage was the perfect stop on our family road trip from England to Scotland. Its warmth, charm, and comfort added so much to our journey—it quickly became one of the highlights of our trip. We only wish we had more time to enjoy it!
Our experience left such a strong impression that friends of ours from the USA, who are visiting soon, have already decided to book their stay at Yewtree based on our recommendation.
Thank you for helping us create a lifelong memory. The peace and comfort we found at Yewtree Cottage will stay with us for years to come.”
“Such a great spot. The golf course is discounted for guests of the house which is a great bonus. So close to scafell and the seaside. Highly recommend for nature lovers!”
“We enjoyed the peace and beautiful surroundings at Wendy’s cottage. It is very spacious and was great for a group of friends to stay together. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio and the kitchen is well equipped for cooking and eating in. I recommend Wendy’s cottage as a great place to stay in the Lake District!”
“We had a very comfortable stay at Yew Tree Cottage. It was spacious and in a very peaceful and quiet location.”
“A Lovely cottage. We loved the large kitchen with the island and dining table. It was a great spot for us to gather together at the start and end of each day. It's a great spot for lots of walks, we walked to Muncaster fell, followed by a pub. It is close enough to drive to Scafell. Watch out for the midges on the first few days we couldn't sit outside as we didn't have repellent.”
“We enjoyed our stay so peaceful with the golf course over the road. Was lovely and restful and an hours drive time Kessick”
“Great property as described. Make sure you’ve planned your walks in detail. Some nice places to head to but be careful to avoid A roads of doom. Pack what you’ll need if driving 15-20 minutes to a shop isn’t going to be an option.
Don’t miss the cafe (part of the golf club) for breakfast and snacks”
“A beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Well equipped. Comfortable beds. A perfect base for walking holidays.
Not far from several pubs serving delicious food. And a stones throw from the golf club.”
“Lovely cottage, in a nice quiet location close to Wasdale for walks and to Seascale for food.”
