The room was big enough, clean and tidy. The staff was very friendly and helpful with any request we had. Absolutely recommended. The location is perfect because the bus stop to Windermere and the city centre was 2 mins away.

I liked everything about Yewfield Vegetarian Guesthouse. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Derek went the extra mile to accommodate my son at the last minute. The room was lovely and comfortable. The breakfast was fresh, delicious and wholesome. Best dinner I've had in a long time. We could do our own washing which was a bonus I did not expect. There were lovely walks from the front door. Peaceful. An olde worlde establishment which one does not encounter often. We spent 5 nights there. Thank you to all the staff - Linda, Emma, Janka and Magdalena. You were fantastic :)

Food amd service was excellent, hotel was spotlessly clean. Even though our room was at the front of the hotel there was very little passing noise. Most of the noise was from the family above but was not a bother.
