We spent two nights at Yew tree cottage, actually as a mini honeymoon after getting married in Dorset 2 days before. Vivien was a fantastic host, making us feel very at home. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious, we particularly loved the homemade stewed fruits! She has two absolutely lovely black labs, and a beautifully maintained garden around the cottage with...

After travelling throughout England for two weeks with my family and girlfriend, and staying in a plethora of bed and breakfasts, you start to notice the little differences that set apart the truly great from the good. Yew Tree Cottage is no exception. From home stewed friuits and home made jams, to Viviens early morning drives to pick up just... More

We loved this B&B! Vivien was a wonderful host and cook. We loved the sweet black labs...it reminded us of home. :) It is tucked out of the way in a very small village and if you want a real, un-touristy experience, I highly recommend Yew Tree Cottage. My husband and I went on some great runs and used our... More

Why? Well, the B&B is situated in the... More

My fiance and I just got back from a weekend at Yew Tree Cottage in Turkdean. We found the place absolutely gorgeous, and the hostess, Vivien, was a delight! We arrived late at night and were able to find the place reasonably well thanks to our Sat-nav. I had called Vivien a few times to let her know how horrifically... More
