Is Green Yew Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
The games room provides indoor entertainment when weather turns. Two acres of gardens offer space for outdoor play and exploration. A highchair is available for younger children. The open-plan living area lets parents keep an eye on kids while cooking. Four bathrooms mean no morning queues. Nearby attractions include the World of Beatrix Potter (1.5 miles) and Brockhole adventure activities (3 miles).
For Couples
This property works better for groups than couples due to its size. The farmhouse sleeps eight across four bedrooms, making it more suitable for larger gatherings.

The location near Lake Windermere provides romantic walks and boat trips. Four luxury bathrooms include en suites for privacy.
