Yew Tree Cottage is a stunning seven bedroom cottage.
Our beautiful thatched cottage is over 300 years old, it has a wealth of character and many original features which make it such a charming place to stay
The cottage has been sympathetically maintained and updated to retain many original features.
The cottage includes a wonderful country style kitchen complete with large range oven and an abundance of storage space. A handy down stairs cloakroom lies off the kitchen and a secret stair case leads directly from the kitchen to one of the bedrooms
Leading from the kitchen is a cosy television lounge and from here you walk through to the ’real fire’ lounge which beg to be lit and a good book enjoyed in front of it.
There is a bathroom with a bath tub & a shower over it on the ground floor. Open the little wooden door (minding your head) and enter the first floor where you will find 5 good sized bedrooms, all unique and tastefully decorated.
Beautiful beams run throughout the cottage giving it a really cosy and fun feel
Venture to the second floor and you will find two attic bedrooms that the children will love to explore!

About the Name Yew Tree
Yew Tree Cottage takes its name from the large Yew Tree located at the front of the Cottage. We were interested to find out a little more about the Yew Tree and wanted to share with you:
Gaelic Name : Idho
Latin Name : Taxus baccata Linnaeus
Medicinal Benefits : The leaves of a yew tree are now used to produce a drug which inhibits cancer cell growth permanently, called taxol
yew-003
Place of Origin : Britain to Northern Iran, widely cultivated in North America
History : The oldest know wooden implement is a spear made of yew wood, it dates back 50, 000 years Archaeological excavations have found yew bows and knives in Swiss lake dwellings from 10,000 years ago. Historically, yew bows were the weapon of choice for both hunting and warfare throughout most of Europe until the invention of firearms. Due to its hardness, it was used for shuttles, cogs, axle-trees, and pulley-pins. The colourful wood (red heartwood, white sapwood) was used to veneer furniture, to make lute bodies, bowls, tankards, combs, tool handles, pegs, and various art objects. It was used in many ways by various religions, and certain yew objects such as drinking-cups are still regarded as having a certain spiritual potency. Yew forests were once common in France and Germany. The wood of the English Yew was used for bows by Celtic and Teutonic warriors, a practice which eventually led to the demise of the great Yew forests of Western Europe. In Teutonic areas the Yew had important symbolic significance. A judge’s staff was made of its wood and Yew was planted in graveyards as a form of protection from malevolent spirits. Its needles were also used in rituals to communicate with the dead.
