Yewfield Virtual Tours

Vegetarian Bed & Breakfast in the Heart of the Lakes

Yewfield is ideally situated for walking and enjoying this exquisite region of rare natural beauty and inspiration of the Lakeland Poets.

The House

Yewfield is set in a quiet elevated position with panoramic views over the Vale of Esthwaite, Lake Windermere and the Fells beyond.

Situated in over 30 acres of its own grounds, this impressive country house with its Gothic architecture dates back to 1859. Although now a private residence, we offer a few select rooms on a vegetarian Bed and Breakfast basis.

The Grounds

There are over 30 acres of land around the house, including native woodland, rough fell pasture, a small tarn and a stream. The grazed pasture is carefully managed giving priority to ecological considerations, which qualifies it to be part of the Environmentally Sensitive Areas Scheme.

Newly developed ornamental areas closer to the house include organic vegetable gardens, orchards, a herb patio and a mixed border. We are also experimenting with naturalistic styles and plantings such as a coppice garden, wildflower meadows, a fern corner and a wildlife pond.

A nature trail through the land and gardens guides the visitor through the grounds.
