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 :)

The breakfast was very good. The location was excellent, in the town, but it was quiet. It was ideal for hiking, with plenty of choices where to go. In the accommodation itself, the bathroom was good with a decent shower, the bed was comfortable, there was tea and coffee in the room and the host was friendly and helpful. I hope to stay there next year.

    A fabulous location, gorgeous buildings, the room was spotless and spacious and had lovely massive windows looking out across the grounds and the lake. We asked for a specific room as it looked the most ideal for us with our dog, having seen the rooms on the website, and they sorted it no problem. Staff were really friendly and in addition to the tea, coffee and fridge we even got a little goodie bag for the pooch. Can't fault this place at all, huge thanks from me, Ben and Rune. We'll definitely come again!
