The cottage is described as clean, cosy, and spacious, with lovely views and a welcoming atmosphere. Minor issues mentioned include tricky access, occasional pet odours, and some maintenance points, but these do not detract from the overall positive experience. The local pub and nearby attractions add to its appeal, making it a highly recommended retreat.
Most guests found the cottage immaculately clean and well-presented, though a few noted pet odours and some grubby carpets, particularly for those with pets. Overall, cleanliness is a strong point with only minor exceptions.
The location is frequently highlighted as peaceful, idyllic, and perfect for exploring the Lake District, with direct access to woods and trails, and a short walk to the local pub. The only drawback is the narrow, steep access lane.
Guests describe the cottage as extremely comfortable, cosy, and spacious, with comfortable beds and a welcoming lounge, especially appreciated after walks. The tranquil setting and well-furnished rooms add to the comfort.
The cottage is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and has lovely gardens and a log fire. Some guests noted the games room was inaccessible or underwhelming, and suggested providing coffee and washing pods. Maintenance issues were minor.

Taking its name from the rather steep area of woodland near where it sits, Breasty Haw is a wonderful example of a traditional, detached Lakeland cottage. The setting is idyllic as not only does Breasty Haw enjoy fine views across the valley but the house is situated in the middle of its own acre of mature woodland for guests to explore. With Grizedale Forest and ample walks and cycling routes right from the doorstep, Satterthwaite is an ideal base for an activity based holiday with the kids although the area also has some wonderful, gentle walks for those who prefer a quieter pace and some rest and relaxation. The property backs onto Grizedale forest with walks from the gate and is wonderfully quiet.
Having undergone a major transformation in readiness for holiday letting, Breasty Haw now presents as a beautifully furnished, quality, self catering property with modern day conveniences, comfortably spacious for up to eight people. It features a wood burning stove for those cosy nights in front of a real fire, and granite work tops in the kitchen.
Wall mounted Sky Glass 55 inch TV, Sky package and games console will ensure the cottage has all those home from home comforts you’ve come to expect from our quality properties.

We had a great time and would definitely book here again. The cottage was comfy and in a beautiful setting and there was always hot water! It is such a good location.

Another great short break at Breasty Haw. The cottage was as welcoming as ever; log fire was divine, and kitchen a dream to cook in. The peace and tranquility made for a restful long weekend of cycling, walking our Cocker Spaniel from the door into Grizedale Forest and just chilling. And the odd trip to the Eagles Head again finished it off. Thank you. We will return.
