Yewfield 2012

5 - 8 July 2012 - Sue Pendlebury

Cost from £360

A peaceful and quiet retreat in the heart of the English Lake District. Yewfield is ideally situated for walking and enjoying this exquisite region of rare natural beauty, indeed the inspiration of the Lakeland poets. Following the recent refurbishments, Yewfield Vegetarian B&B has been awarded a visit Britain Quality in Tourism Rating of 5 Stars.

There are over 30 acres of land around the house, including native woodland, rough fell pasture, a small tarn and a stream. The grazed pasture is carefully managed giving priority to ecological considerations, which qualifies it to be part of the Environmentally Sensitive Areas Scheme.

Newly developed ornamental areas closer to the house include organic vegetable gardens, orchards, a herb patio and a mixed border. The owners are also experimenting with naturalistic styles and plantings such as a coppice garden, wildflower meadows, a fern corner and a wildlife pond.

A nature trail through the land and gardens guides the visitor through the grounds.

There will be two yoga classes a day. Mornings will begin with meditation and pranayama (breathing techniques) for the early risers, followed by the first asana class around 8.30-10.30 am. In the evening we will have a shorter meditation and restorative asana class.

Each day after our morning yoga and a hearty breakfast, we will explore the areas many walks... there are absolutely breathtaking views, a very special place indeed!

Arrival time on the Thursday is 3pm onwards. You can arrive from 1pm on and explore the beautiful surroundings. We will have our first yoga session together at 5pm. We will finish on the Sunday around mid morning.

Yewfield is just a short distance from Tarn Hows, a well known and popular destination in the Lake District. Join us for a virtual walk through woodland and open fell that starts right here from our front door.

Yewfield is set in a quiet elevated position with panoramic views over the Vale of Esthwaite, Lake Windermere and the Fells beyond.

Situated in over 30 acres of its own grounds, this impressive country house with its Gothic architecture dates back to 1859.

Rooms are furnished to a high standard. Double and twin rooms at Yewfield are individually appointed to a very high standard, all with en-suite bath and shower, TV/DVD, radio, and tea and coffee making facilities.
