Windermere sits on the shore of England's largest lake, with the town centre full of restaurants, independent shops and the railway station within easy walking distance. Yew Tree Cottage is a three-bedroom Victorian house at the heart of it all, accessed via a quiet lane that opens into a small courtyard. The property is yours alone for the duration of your stay, with private parking for two cars and a shared garden with patio seating and a BBQ.
Inside, the house has been restored to keep its period character—exposed beams, panelling and a woodburner in the living room—while equipped for modern comfort. The ground floor has a living room, dining room and a kitchen with electric oven and gas hob for self-catering, plus a separate pantry. Upstairs are three bedrooms (a super kingsize, a kingsize and a three-quarter double) and two bathrooms, one with a bath and shower, the other with a cubicle shower. Essentials including electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and wifi are all included. One dog or cat can stay free of charge. The cottage sits in a town with plenty of pubs within a mile, and smoking is not permitted inside.

Excellent! Character house but with practical additions. Quiet peaceful location set back from street by 50 metres up driveway. Good kitchen equipment so you can cook whatever. Good central heating that you can control...not locked down. Modern double glazed windows that open for fresh air. Cozy wood fire but buy fuel at nearby supermarket or petrol stations. Nothing to fault for us. 5 mins walk to most everything in town so leave car no probs.

Really nice place for family trip. Location is great. Right in the town of Windermere but with off street parking and set back from the hustle.

Excellent self catering stay at Yew Tree cottage, 3 bedrooms, 2 toilets / showers, kitchen / diner, lounge and dining room. Everything you could want, TV, WI FI, secure enclosed garden (good if you have a dog) and on site parking in small shared courtyard (with neighbouring property, stable cottage) but can get 4 cars in if needed (lane from main road is a bit tight, I found it easier to reverse in, we have an Insignia and had no problem), very central, one street back from the main attractions so very quiet of an evening. The property retains a lot of traditional features which adds to the experience, would we stay there again, yes without a doubt. Oh and the owner had even left a bottle of preseco which was a nice touch.
