SANDOWN

It's hard to put into words the inimitable qualities that make a holiday so memorable, but you'll certainly find it here. It's the perfect position for a lakes themed getaway, a stones throw from some lovely family walks, a short drive for some of Wainwright's epics, and a quick stroll into Bowness or Windermere for food and drinks with friends.
We've loved every stay at Georgie and Mark's Cottage and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone. — Jonny Evans, 10 Jul 2020

Property very roomy for us all, nice to leave car and walk into Bowness. We went to cinema which was minutes away and the weather was not great but plenty of welcoming pubs to shelter in! — Richard Gillespe, 26 Dec 2019

The family had a great week in Bowness for the half term break the weather was just great so we got out on for some nice walks. Property was perfect for our needs with everything provided, great service from the owners who responded quickly to all our questions and queries. We will be looking to return in the future. — Keith Murphy, 13 Nov 2019

Very enjoyable week! — Gary Jane, 01 Nov 2019

The property was well equipped, comfortable beds, and a perfect location. The owners were helpful and lovely. — Amanda Barron, 06 Oct 2019

We had a wonderful week in Sandown. The house was equipped with everything we needed. All of the living accommodation was located on the ground floor with good size lounge, dining area and kitchen. All of the ground floor bedrooms are en suite and there's also a toilet on the upper floor. The two rear double bedrooms were excellent. The outside area is quite small and limited to a patio area but we found it adequate for us. The location of the house is about a 10 to 15 minute walk from the lake and retail areas. All in all we loved the week we had there and wished we'd booked for two. The communication we had from the owner/manager was excellent. — David Charnley, 23 Jul 2019

Great location, lovely property ideal for large group as every room has an en-suite. Quick walk to both Bowness and Windermere. Hosts was lovely sent all information needed - would stay again. — Charisse Walker, 05 Jun 2019

Excellent holiday base. House exceptionally clean & tidy. Excellent accommodation for our three generation stay (& dog). More than adequate parking for our 3 cars. House convenient for all the amenities of Bowness on Windermere and public / ferry transport. Owners very helpful and welcoming. — Sue Commins, 14 Apr 2019

Sandown was very clean, well kitted out and felt welcoming. It is well located for strolling into town or driving off to walk or "sight see" with a lot of choice nearby. It was a perfect location for a long weekend. The owners provided friendly advice and allowed us to park early when we arrived and leave our cars after we had checked out while we had a last walk into Bowness. Obviously this would depend on other occupancy, but was much appreciated in our case. We hope to come again! — Chris Wujiw, 27 Mar 2019

"Comfortable and convenient home from home". This was our second stay at Sandown over the Christmas week. It was just as lovely as we had remembered and we found the addition of an upstairs utility area and toilet very useful. The property is well equipped and comfortable and is perfectly situated for a stroll into Bowness and for local walks with breathtaking views over Windermere. The addition of a Christmas Tree and a Christmas card and treats from the owners were a lovely touch and gave the property a really festive feel when we arrived. We managed to cook a Christmas dinner for 7 in the kitchen with no problems. Thanks for another fantastic week. — Claire Kennedy, 05 Jan 2019

"New year holiday". Very clean and well equipped property. All bedrooms are en-suite with very comfortable beds. It is well situated for all amenities, having lovely olde worlde pubs, restaurants and lots of shops to visit. We highly recommend staying at Sandown and would love to visit again. — Lilian McClaren, 05 Jan 2019

Lovely property, well situated, large living room, very warm and comfortable. Enjoyed staying here very much. Key safe outside meant no worry about losing key. House well equipped and warm and cosy as it was a bit cold when we were there. Could do with some kind of boot room but overall excellent house. — Lesley Wood, 07 Dec 2018

Sandown is perfectly located within 5 minutes of Bowness Town Centre. It is well furnished to a high standard with 4 en-suite bedrooms, on the ground floor, and a kitchen, dining room Lounge and toilet on the first floor. The kitchen is small but modern and perfectly adequate, and is well equipped with appliances, cutlery and crockery. The House is set out with some thought and there is a natural flow across the living accommodation. The house was immaculate on arrival, and included a small welcome pack in the kitchen, which enabled us to have a drink etc before venturing out. The house also had a selection of family games, CD's and DVd's for guests to use. Do not be put off by the "stark" exterior and Entrance Hall, these belie the quality and cleanliness of the living accommodation in this house. We found it ideal for our 3 generation family (2 grandparents, 2 parents, 2 grandchildren, 2 dogs, and 2 cars!) I give this a very high recommendation. — Ron Dixon, 29 Oct 2018

"Bliss" The overall ambience and comfort of "Kempton" negated the generally poor weather. It has an excellent location within walking distance of the top end of the Bowness shopping/eating areas, while a bus stop [for Windermere] at the entrance and another [for Bowness] across the road render a car unnecessary for local touring/shopping. The facilities are more than adequate for a modicum of cooking to maintain body and soul if that is your wont. All in all a pleasant place to stay. — Gary Reid, 30 Sep 2018

Excellent, lovely and clean, good quality and comfortable. — Mike Darling, 18 Jun 2018

"Couldn't Have Been Better". The property was as shown, the owner very friendly and helpful (especially the welcome gift of wine & milk!!). 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 Mumford, 17 May 2018
