Located in the village of Bouth, the property is within easy walking distance from one of Cumbria’s most popular pubs. Bouth itself is a peaceful village situated halfway between the southern tips of Coniston Water and Lake Windermere. Both locations offer excellent walking routes either on the flat by the water’s edge or up high where challenging climbs make for spectacular views from the top. Once you’ve seen the lakes from above, head to the boating centre to explore the area from the water in a canoe, rowing boat or motorboat.

The front door opens into the open-plan ground floor space. Contemporary in style yet with the occasional original feature, this is a cosy yet sociable space for entertaining. Prepare romantic meals for two in the spacious modern kitchen before dining at the charming table in the window overlooking the surrounding countryside. At the end of a long day on foot, retreat to the plump seating for a relaxing evening in front of the Smart TV. Upstairs, the double bedroom is light and airy with shaker style furniture and a pretty window overlooking the fields. There is a modern shower room with basin and WC.

Outside there is a sunny enclosed patio garden with table and chairs and a delightful summerhouse for enjoying al fresco drinks come rain or shine.

We had a lovely stay at Yew Tree Cottage. The cottage was very clean & homely and has great views of the countryside. The enclosed rear garden was excellent for our small dog. There are some lovely walks from the doorstep and only a 20 min drive to Lake Windermere. Would definitely recommend this property for a short break.
