Yewfield - AMBLESIDE

First place I've been that has tofu scramble and chia pudding as breakfast options. Really nice place, great food and super friendly staff. Updated from previous review on 2024-08-05

We have stayed at Yewfield several times. The hotel itself is lovely, lots of Indian art and clean, luxurious rooms. The breakfast has lots of vegan options, including full English breakfast with scrambled tofu.

Yewfield is a family owned guest house and is an imposing building set in eighty acres of grounds, in a very quiet location, so if peace and getting away from it all are your thing, it is perfect. Yewfield is ideal for walkers, with lots of walks setting off right from the front door and Hawkshead village is only a short distance to either walk or drive. There are self catering apartments to the rear of Yewfield, if you prefer to do your own thing and we will consider staying here in the future, as we also like self catering. We booked three nights to celebrate hubby's birthday and our wedding anniversary, staying in Vale View, a suite at the front of the house with amazing views over the valley. Vale View is a beautiful room with a big bed, sofa and seating area, large TV, music system and DVD player, tea and coffee facilities and a huge bathroom with massive jacuzzi bath and walk in shower, just the ticket after a long day walking. Due to Covid you order breakfast the night before, via a website link sent prior to your visit, which worked well throughout our stay and you dine in either the beautiful panelled dining room or conservatory. There is a good selection of breakfast options, including continental and cooked breakfast, with oat, almond and soya milk and vegan spread available. The food was delicious, the porridge with maple syrup was exceptional, so much so we had it every morning and hubby loved the scrambled tofu and had that every day too. There is a guest lounge where you can read or just chill out and relax and I bet its lovely in winter with a roaring fire. On the first floor landing there is a seating area, with a selection of DVD's to watch and a guest fridge with a selection of plant milks and jugs to take to the room. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Yewfield, we had a great time, even though the weather was torrential rain for our three days there and will definitely revisit. Highly recommended.

We loved it here. The rooms weee clean and comfortable. It was nice to snuggle up with an open fire. The breakfast was brilliant and plentiful. I would definitely go again.

Great vegan breakfast option and we had a lovely and massive) room
