A wonderful holiday for two.
East of Kirkby-in-Furness is the ancient market town of Ulverston which still holds a street market every Thursday and Saturday. Today it’s well known as a festival town with events throughout the year, including walking and art festivals in the summer months and the renowned Dickensian festival in late November. One of the town’s great claims to fame is as the birthplace of Stan Laurel - it is now home to the only Laurel and Hardy museum in the world.

Owners very helpful when needed, and the initial "welcome" of flowers and a bottle of wine was much appreciated. Lovely walks in the area, and a railway station within a 10 minute walk was very useful after my vehicle developed a gearbox fault. Local garage was as helpful as they could be in the circumstances. The area is very much off the beaten track, which is the main part of it's appeal, but within an easy drive of all the main attractions.

The apartment was warm and cosy, and the Christmas tree and lights added a lovely festive touch. I would definitely recommend Yew Fold to anyone looking for accommodation in the Furness area.

We had everything we needed, and was made to feel welcome by Caroline and Paul, a reel home from home. We especially enjoyed seeing the cows out of the front window every morning at breakfast.
