Guests say
Breasty Haw is a well-loved cottage praised for its stunning views, comfortable furnishings, and superb gardens. Nestled in a tranquil location, it offers direct access to forest walks and local amenities. While some minor issues are noted, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with guests eager to return.
The cottage is generally described as immaculately clean. However, one review mentioned grubby carpets and a doggy smell, suggesting room for improvement in pet-related cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its peace, quiet, and proximity to nature and local attractions. The direct access to woods and trails is a highlight, although the approach via a narrow lane is noted as requiring care.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with special mentions of the well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and cosy lounge with a fire. The overall comfort level is high, contributing to the desire of guests to revisit.
Facilities are well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and garden space. However, the 'Games Room' is a point of contention, being described as lacking in actual games and needing effort. The lack of coffee and washing pods is also noted.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

Fabulous cottage. This is our second time back to breasty haw and 6th time to Satterthwaite. From the door into the woods our cocker spaniel loves it here. The views are out of this world. Great kitted out cottage with everything you need. Gardens superb, and the fire in the lounge after a walk up in the forest is the nicest thing ever to relax in front of. Check out deer, jays and robins!

Lovely property, very quiet. Well equipped with walks from the door. Local pub is only 5 minutes walk away and Grizedale is a short drive away (also walkable!). We could hear an owl hooting every night which was lovely for us although it freaked our dog out! Fab enclosed garden too.

The cottage was lovely. Very well appointed. The log fire was a nice touch although we couldnt get it working well, but that was probably user error. Its in a great location and we found plenty to do. Its surrounded by lots of walks and a short drive to Coniston and Windermere.
