Yew Tree
Talk about views! Yew Tree is a ground-floor bolt-hole for two guests, situated in the centre of Buttermere Village and comes with parking for one car or secure storage for bicycles.
The stunningly-beautiful valley is flanked on each side by high mountains, which are popular with walkers. Fells include High Stile, Red Pike, Haystacks and Robinson Fell, to name a few. The Buttermere Valley is also where you'll find both Crummock Water and Buttermere, two famous lakes separated by a short span of land, where Buttermere Village is situated.
Less than a two-minute walk from this Lake District holiday cottage are two lovely pubs serving great food and real ales,
Croft House Farm cafe serving butties, cakes and ice cream, and
Syke tea room which also services excellent breakfasts. You'll be spoilt for choice!
If you wish to explore further afield, Keswick is just 10-miles away, over Newlands Pass. There is a regular daytime bus service between Keswick and Buttermere in the summer months.
Yew Tree has been beautifully refurbished by the tenants of this Lake District farm to provide open-plan living space with a kitchen sitting area and an electric fire for the chillier evenings. Off the living area is the spacious double bedroom and the bathroom with bath and shower over also has an electric towel rail. The views from all the windows are of the majestic mountains.
If you fancy relaxing after a day on the fells, Yew Tree has a lovely lawn garden with views of the farm, grazing sheep and the mountains beyond. A purpose-built BBQ space has been provided, suitable for two disposable BBQs.
