The double bed was huge and comfy. The bathroom was so classy! Old-fashioned transistor radio so retro. Using your palm to activate keypad to open door was the first for us. Good suggestions given by owner for walks.

I had a fantastic stay at my landlord's property in the UK. The room was spacious and impeccably clean. Our landlord was incredibly patient and provided us with great assistance, ensuring a wonderful experience during our stay. Overall, it's a great value accommodation, and I'll definitely choose to stay here again when my family visits the UK in the future!

Nice & cozy place with warm & friendly staff that provides respite from the otherwise cold weather! Room is clean & location is close to supermarkets & restaurants. Although the building was built in 1882, the room amenities are quite modern.

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.
