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.
