  Yew Fold cottage is adjacent to the owners' home and was even better than the photos' suggested.

  We were welcomed by our host Caroline and the bottle of wine with a vase of fresh flowers on the table was a lovely start. The cottage was spotlessly clean everywhere with very new,modern appliances ; plenty of storage space for clothes,shoes, cases etc. and was very spacous. The kitchen area had everything we needed for our self-catering holiday with lots of cupboard space,new crockery,glassware, pots/pans etc.and a table & chairs. The lounge area was very comfortable with a large comfortable sofa and flat screen T.V etc . The decor everywhere in the cottage is lovely giving a light,airy feel and the bedroom has very good quality bedding, a comfortable bed and excellent lighting for night-time reading. The bathroom was modern with a large excellent walk-in shower and hot water available at any time of the day which was a plus factor. There is a little private garden area ( for your own private use )next to the cottage which has a table,chairs, BBQ with plenty of beautiful flowers which we used frequently as the weather during our weeks holiday was fantastic. Yew Fold is in a lovely area , near a main road which made travelling to other places on the Furness Peninsular very easy and we enjoyed the beautiful countryside, quiet beaches and the nearby Lake District. On leaving the cottage for home ,we overlooked a pair of walking boots and slippers which Caroline found and kindly packaged up and returned to us by post. We can say that our stay was excellent and would gladly recommend Yew Fold to other couples and hope to be back again in the Autumn. The only point I would make ( which is not a criticism in any way ) is that the cottage has a few steps up to the entrance door which might be difficult for anyone with mobility issues.

  Raceside is an extremely well equipped cottage in a beautiful, quiet location.

  The cottage was cleaned to high standard and on arrival the owner had left delicious homemade cakes, milk and eggs. The whole cottage was very comfortable and well maintained. There is a lovely seating area outside, shared use of the owner's garden and ample parking. The beach is a pleasant walk, taking about 20 minutes down quiet tracks. At low tide, the beach is a vast sandy beach with beautiful views of the mountains and you normally have it all to yourself! My dogs absolutely loved it. Silecroft beach is the next beach along, which is a short 5 minutes drive, again it is beautiful sand at low tide, with toilets, cafe and free parking. The cottage is well situated for visiting Wastwater and the high fells, Eskdale and also Coniston is within easy reach. There is a pub, just a couple of minutes walk from the cottage that serves food and the small town of Millom is a 5 minute drive, offering a few shops, pharmacy and takeaways. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. This is my second stay in this cottage and would definitely recommend it for quiet break in stunning surroundings.

  Since the start of Covid 19 restrictions in March, we had not set foot in any building, other than our home.

  I was therefore somewhat apprehensive about staying in someone else’s house with regards to cleanliness. We have rented cottages in the past which have been cleaner when we left then when we arrived. Of course during the current situation cleanliness is of greater importance then it would have been a few months ago. I needn’t have worried though as Yew Fold was spotless. One of the reasons we chose Yew Fold was the cleanliness mentioned by other reviewers and we were not disappointed as everything was clean and fresh. I was able to relax as soon as we arrived without feeling the need to scrub everything. The cottage is a perfect size for a couple with everything we needed and the lovely email from Caroline informed us they were only a phone call away should we have needed anything further. Kirkby in Furness gives easy access to the southern lakes and the coast, so is in an ideal situation. We shall certainly be booking Yew Fold again. Our thanks to Caroline and Paul for a lovely break away from home.

  It's apparent from the moment you walk in that this outstanding property has been built with love and is very well cared for.

  It's immaculately clean with top quality furnishings and bedding. The kitchen is so well equipped and the use of space is inspired. Views from the windows are stunning and the little garden overlooking the fields of sheep is idyllic. The lanes around the property are so interesting to walk down and the station is very close by if you fancy a trip up the coast. The owners who live in the attached house ( sound proofing excellent as didn't hear a thing) are friendly and helpful but not intrusive. It's a beautiful part of Cumbria which we will definitely be visiting again. A personal thanks to the owners for being so accommodating. We had health issues that meant we couldn't check in on the Friday and for family reasons had to return home part way through the holiday before returning for the last 2 nights.
