Last updated in January 2025 it is ideal for families and friends looking for a well equipped holiday home in the stunning area of the Lake District National Park, which in 2017 became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is has been designed as an upside down house to make the most of the mountain views. Please Note: Weekly stays our changeover day is a Friday so your week will require a Friday date. For 3 nights short breaks we can offer a Friday or Monday start date. Should you choose different days to start your holiday we may need to amend the dates of your stay if you are flexible. Please note the house can only accommodate 7 people plus one infant (under 18 months) maximum. Our location is superb, being just five minutes walk from the village of Bowness-on- Windermere, with its excellent shops and eateries, whilst also having the lake shore on your door step. And despite our central location we have plenty of guest parking within our grounds with room for 4 cars. The 4 ground floor bedrooms all have en-suite shower facilities, so its not too far to carry your luggage! There are 3 doubles and 1 single. A travel cot is also available (you will require your own bedding). Please note: the house does not have a bath. The 4 en-suites are not large we have tried to show these on our photos; each one has a standard sized shower, washbasin and toilet but obviously each bedroom having an en-suite is often seen a bonus. However, if you are requiring very large bathrooms we are unable to provide. Upstairs there is a very spacious and stylish living space. The large lounge has 3 sofas to relax on and a large wall mounted SMART TV, so you can steam all the usual subscription services. There is a small office set up with large glass desk & office chair to use if you are unlucky enough to have to a little bit of work!! We offer free fibre WIFI. There are also many toys, jigsaws, books and board games for you to enjoy. The separate elegant dining room comfortably seats a large party with a high-chair for the little one. The kitchen & utility room are very equipped with most of the gadgets and cooking utensils you will find at home enabling you to enjoy home cooked meals. And if you fancy an al fresco meal or just some drinks, outside there is a patio area with table & chairs and a BBQ. We are situated in a peaceful part of Bowness-on-Windermere, our location is just set back from the main lake road on the edge of the village so we are only a few minutes gentle stroll to Lake Windermere and all that Bowness village has to offer or Windermere is an easy 20 mins stroll up the road. We have 1 travel cot and high chair available. We have free fibre Wi-Fi, bed linen and 1 bath & hand towel pp, and bath mats. We also provide dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, tea towels, handwash and starter toilet rolls etc. We welcome a well behaved dog (no other pets are accepted) but ask they are not left in the house unattended, although we are happy for you to bring a pet crate to use. We do not charge for 1 dog. On occasion we may accept a 2nd dog but only if both dogs were small BUT we would need you to contact us (SEND AN ENQUIRY) prior to instant booking to seek permission. If we agreed there would be additional £40 cleaning fee for a 2nd dog. Please note we do live close by and pass the house various times per day so we would not expect any guest to abuse our request. Our weekly changeover day is a Friday, but we do offer short breaks. Check in is 3pm and check out 10am. We always text guests when the house is ready if earlier than 3pm .to hearing from you. It would be our pleasure to answer any questions you may have so please get in touch, we look forward to hearing from you.

The kids called it an upside down house because the living areas are upstairs which worked really well for our group, especially as each bedroom has its own facilities!! The customer service we received was first class, great communication and really accomodating of our needs, a real pleasure to deal with! ##### matthew p.

A 15 minute walk to Bowness pier passing a couple of small supermarkets on the way for groceries. There are also several good restaurants within a five minute walk. The house was spotlessly clean when we arrived, was very well equipped and maintained. Georgeene was very helpful with enquiries and very pleasant to deal with. No hesitation in recommending the house. ##### Roy S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan T. 9 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Summer Break in the Lake District We had a wonderful stay and Georgie could not be more accommodating including allowing us to check in a day earlier due to the prior guests checking out early. The house is well equipped and the location is almost exactly in between Windermere and Bowness. We loved the fact we could walk in both directions so the location is just ideal. We would thoroughly recommend this house for any family looking to explore the Lake District. We really appreciated the communication both prior to and during out stay. The welcome pack that was provided, included a parking pass and some goodies that the family really enjoyed. Would go back in the future if we are in the area. ##### Alan T.

We were four friends relaxing after a River Boat tour in France and the contrast between the two countries was delightful. The bus stop right at the front door provided our gateway to exploring the area and Beresford Restaurant right across the street was excellent food at most reasonable prices. Thank you, Georgie for sharing with us. Bette, April, Gwen & Otis. ##### Bette M. Stayed 4 nights in May 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 31 Aug 2014 #### Sandown House Sandown House is ideally located for exploring the Lake District. The accommodation was very well equipped and it's upside down configuration made the most of the views from the upstairs windows (would not recommend for those with a mobility disability). The house is on a busy road and there is little outside space for BBQ etc. although there is a small park across the road where supervised children can play. The owners are located next door but do not intrude upon house guests but are there if needed. I would recommend Sandown as a base but would have liked more outside space around the property. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Irene W. 3 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 5 Stars from us! The house is comfortable, nicely furnished and most importantly super clean. Lots of room for all of us with comfy beds and 4 bathrooms was a godsend. The kitchen was great with all the gadgets you’d have at home. Georgie was really helpful and certainly has thought of everything you might need for a great holiday. The location could not be better, far enough away from the hustle and bustle but only a short stroll walk away. The house has many great reviews, when we booked we only noted only one poor one, which in all honestly, now we have stayed we think the people were posting about a different house or must have been very strange as we could not find any faults. In fact we have already looked at dates to book for June. We have given 5 stars and would highly recommend to any family wanting a great location, great house and lovely host. Thanks for a lovely stay! ##### Irene W. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Maureen wendy C. 5 Jan 2023 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Promises a lot but delivery of quality amenities poor. The bedrooms were very small and did not provide bathrooms x 4 Bed & bath is misleading. Pokey shower facilities and some shower cubicles were without soap trays or shampoo shelves to use as one showers. No door hooks adequately provided. Water trickled out of the showers making it imposssible to lather up. Bedding was very old and tired.I’ve thrown better away. Kitchen looked adequate until one came to find the right pans for the induction rings. Only one pan Was provided, the others would not function, big oversight this. Washing machine but no soap powered provided!!! Poor all round, couldn’t wait to get home. Over priced and neglected. Doors didn’t close. Carpets were fitted but doors not!!!! Clothes hanging facilities a sad joke. Less than ikea standard. My advice don’t go to this place. Next door guests were noisy and when reported contact was disbelieving. ##### Maureen wendy C.

Overall, the location is a huge advantage and we had a really lovely time. The house itself is comfortable, but we did not think it warranted the 'immaculate' listing it was given. The listing photos show the more up to date areas but other areas, not photographed, are in need of improvement to warrant the house being described as immaculate. A couple of examples being, bedroom door handle almost falling off (which was tricky as the door to the bedroom got stuck on the new carpet and wouldn't shut or open easily), a lot of dirty and chipped crockery, dirty windows and tea towels with brown stain on. We were there at a busy time and road noise is very evident. The host is very friendly and easy to get in touch with. We had a lovely welcome basket of goodies on arrival, which was very thoughtful. ##### Mandy T.

Pity en-suites not larger, but no space to do. ##### David R.

In a great location, very close to Windermere town centre. Georgie was very helpful both prior and during our stay. Would stay again. ##### Jodie H.

The house was everything as explained in the advertisement.A nice touch,was a welcome pack left for us on our arrival.In addition to that we had a great host in Georgeene who was available at hand at anytime to sort out any problems if needed.I would definitely return in the future for another family holiday. ##### Maria K.

House is fully equipped with everything you need. The on suites are small but each bedroom has one. It’s right on the road so it can be a bit noisy but that the payoff for the great location. Handy large fridge in the utility room. Lots of tourist info in the house. The living room is large as is the dining room so it was perfect for the 6 of us. ##### Jeremy A.
