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.
