I had a fantastic stay at my landlord's property in the UK. The room was spacious and impeccably clean. Our landlord was incredibly patient and provided us with great assistance, ensuring a wonderful experience during our stay. Overall, it's a great value accommodation, and I'll definitely choose to stay here again when my family visits the UK in the future!

I liked everything about Yewfield Vegetarian Guesthouse. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Derek went the extra mile to accommodate my son at the last minute. The room was lovely and comfortable. The breakfast was fresh, delicious and wholesome. Best dinner I've had in a long time. We could do our own washing which was a bonus I did not expect. There were lovely walks from the front door. Peaceful. An olde worlde establishment which one does not encounter often. We spent 5 nights there. Thank you to all the staff - Linda, Emma, Janka and Magdalena. You were fantastic :)
