We have just returned from the most wonderful stay at Yewfield. What a stunning setting with a feeling of complete peace and tranquility. The team at the hotel could not have been more friendly or welcoming. The building is beautiful with a cosy and relaxing atmosphere inside. We were fortunate enough to be given an upgrade but both our original room and upgraded room were gorgeous, clean and comfortable with lovely bathrooms. In the room there were teas, coffee, homemade vegan flapjack (divine), and on the landing a communal fridge with different milks available and a great selection of CD, books and DVDs to borrow. The breakfast was outstanding. We would wholeheartedly recommend and cannot wait to return.
