We have just returned from the most wonderful stay at Yewfield. What a stunning setting with a feeling of complete peace and tranquility. The team at the hotel could not have been more friendly or welcoming. The building is beautiful with a cosy and relaxing atmosphere inside. We were fortunate enough to be given an upgrade but both our original room and upgraded room were gorgeous, clean and comfortable with lovely bathrooms. In the room there were teas, coffee, homemade vegan flapjack (divine), and on the landing a communal fridge with different milks available and a great selection of CD, books and DVDs to borrow. The breakfast was outstanding. We would wholeheartedly recommend and cannot wait to return.

Great location, next to bus stop and amenities but very quiet at night. The room was very cozy with attention to detail. I loved the shoes tray in the room and at the entrance. There is lots of leaflets, maps and tips available to plan your day.

The location was superb. Right in the middle of Ambleside and a short walk to the many restaurants and pubs in town. Adie and Mandy were very welcoming , so helpful with useful bits of information that made our stay so comfortable and with an amazing breakfast every day, made to order. Very substantial breakfast which keeps one going through the day. They even make great packed lunches to go, if one so desires. We were really satisfied with the overall experience at Brantfell House and particularly so with Adie and Mandy as hosts and we would heartily recommend Brantfell House to anyone hoping to spend a few days in the Lake District.
