YANWAY COTTAGE, TROUTBECK, LAKE DISTRICT
Review Submitted: July 1, 2009

We had a lovely two week stay at Yanway with two dogs. The cottage is very pretty and modern..added bonus was a TV with SKY. Kitchen was well kitted out with nice cutlery, dishes, glasses, large fridge/freezer, oven, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine/dryer. Beautiful fittings, especially the bathroom (and there's a hairdryer!). Nice garden across little bridlepath was perfect for dogs, dinner, sun-bathing. Yes, there was sun! In fact, only two days of cloudy weather/rain, otherwise beautiful. The scenery is outstanding but the highlights were some of the best restaurants. Fellini's in Ambleside is excellent value...£19.95 for two courses including upstairs at their cinema. Wonderful food! Lucy's on a Plate in Ambleside is also fun. The Lakes themselves are beautiful, especially Windermere. Lots of boat trips available and highly recommend a long day cruise.
The local pub, the Mortal Man, is under new management and I understand the chef from the wonderful Mucky Duck will soon be taking over. It's a five minute walk from Yanway. Also, down the road is the Queen's Head...excellent food but avoid the £24.95 steak!
Lynn, the owner of Yanway, is just lovely and most helpful and available on her mobile if there's a problem.
Enjoy your stay...we certainly did!
