“We have just returned from a fabulous week away celebrating a 50th & 80th birthday as a family.”
We are a family of 8 with an infant and dogs.
Hares Breath is wonderful, fully equipped top of the range get away, perfect for a wide range of ages. The social space was perfect and the games room was another welcome addition. The dogs loved being able wander in and out and around the garden safely. Unfortunately the electric gates weren’t working which meant we had to ensure they were closed at all times.

Downstairs space:-
The kitchen has loads of cupboard space and the crockery, utensils etc were of high quality and the right amount for the number of people. There was nothing we felt was lacking. The oven, microwave, hob, extractor and dishwasher were all easy to use. The fridge freezer was big enough and perfect in providing cold water and ice on tap.
We had a food delivery the evening we arrived from Tesco which saved us packing food to bring with us.
The dining table again was the perfect size to eat as a family and socialise, play board games around. We took a highchair with us which didn’t cause any space issues around the table either.
The lounge area was comfortable and spacious, the only addition we would have liked was a foot stool for the leather chair(s) as these were easier for the older members of our party but they would have like to put their feet up.
The TV’s were a surprise with the addition of Sky, which meant we could sit and watch a film together when we had a storm on the Sunday night.
The games room was used by us all and provided a bit of healthy competition.
The utility room, again well equipped, the dogs food and water were kept in there and they also enjoyed having their own space.
We were lucky enough to have amazing weather and opening up the side of the house was lovely with respite from the sun and a gentle breeze.
Our infant also loved being able to wander around the space in her baby walker, (brought with us).
Upstairs:-
All bedrooms were beautifully furnished and comfortable, all with en-suite. The showers were all great with no lack of water pressure. There were a couple of niggles about the en-suites in that there was nowhere to place a toothbrush or hang a damp towel. They could do with the addition of a shelf and some hooks. The bedrooms themselves had plenty of wardrobe and cupboard space.
The bedroom with the bath in the en-suite was perfect and our little one loved having a bath in there every evening and there was plenty of space for her travel cot.
The house was in the perfect position to be able walk into town and was a prefect bolt hole for us to return to regularly when my husband was running ‘The Lap” (a 50 mile trail run around Lake Windermere).
Perfect getaway in every way, we would 100% recommend a stay a Hares Breath and hope to be back soon.
