About this property
Sundowner - HM108 - Lakeside Spa Property
Due to the flexibility it offers our guests, Sundowner is one of our most popular rentals. The beautifully finished 3 x bed, 1st floor apart., is the perfect spot for couples, friends, single & smaller families (bring the grandparents along!), or a couple of small families wishing to escape the hustle & bustle of modern life. With amazing uninterrupted views across the SSSI Swillbrook Lake, the home is beautifully positioned to watch the sun set with family and friends after a fun filled day.
SLEEPS MAX 8 - (MAX of 5 x ADULTS + 3 x CHILDREN + COT) - due to bunk bed configuration the property is only suitable for up to a maximum of 5 x adults.
POLITE NOTICE: PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE STRICTLY UNABLE TO ACCOMMODATE LARGE PREDOMINATELY ALL ADULT PARTIES, UNLESS THE PARTY IS MULTI-GENERATIONAL and/or MULTI GENDER GROUP. SORRY NO HEN/STAG GROUPS
Bedroom configuration
Bedroom 1: Triple bunk bed (double bed on bottom, single on top) + Z bed
Bedroom 2: Standard bunkbed (2 x single beds)
Bedroom 3: Double bedroom with ensuite shower room
(a Z bed is also available for Bedroom 1 for the 8th person. This bed is not suitable for an adult – please let us know if you require this additional bed)
1 x family size bathroom with bath and shower
1 x ensuite shower room
Indoor dining space for 6+2 guests
Outdoor dining space for 6+2 guests
Situated in the village of Howells Mere, this professionally designed 3 x bedroom first floor apartment offers stunning views of Swillbrook Lake and Nature Reserve beyond. Sitting on the banks of a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), this results in the most glorious of uninterrupted views and spectacle of resident birds and wildlife – from families of swans, moorhens, coots, and otters, the lake also has a visiting family of osprey in a quiet corner. The large private balcony is covered and is a space to be utilised during any point of the day. This private and secure balustraded area is large enough to house both a separate outdoor dining space for 6 – 8 people, plus a comfy sofa and chairs to enjoy your morning breakfast or fresh coffee. However, it is late afternoon when the balcony really comes alive - providing the perfect spot from which to sit back and relax with family and friends, when finally, the sun drops below the horizon having given you the most stunning of sunset.

By making a reservation you are accepting the Lower Mill Estate's Code of Conduct as per the Terms & Conditions on behalf of yourself and your guests.
STATED GROUP SIZE: Bookings are accepted on the group size & configuration stated at the time of booking. Any changes to this would require permission. Lower Mill Estate is a gated and warden controlled private estate and we provide the Estate with all guest group sizes and group dynamics prior to arrival, which are confirmed at the time of booking.
DAY VISITORS: Day visitors to the Property may be permitted with our prior consent, at our discretion, provided that the total group (including visitors) does not exceed the maximum occupancy of the Property.
SPA ACCESS: All but a 4 minute walk to the Luxury Spa complex, of which you get full rental access during your stay, allowing you and your family and friends to use the indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Outdoor pools are closed during the low season.
NATURE FIRST: Lower Mill Estate is a nature first environment and we are all guests of nature. As such, things like certain lakes being closed in off season for nesting, low level lighting at night, reeds being left to grow to full height, is part of managing the unique environment and eco system.
PARKING: Each property on the Estate has one designated parking space within a few yards of their front door. All other vehicles can make use of the nearby additional communal visitor spaces and/or the overflow car parks. Please do try and limit the number of cars where possible.
TRAVEL COT OPTION: We are unable to supply bedding or a mattress thicker than the ‘wrap around base’ that the travel cot comes with. For your reference, the approx. size of a standard travel cot is 60-65cm x 95-100cm.
BBQs: Due to insurance restrictions & potential health & safety compliance issues, we have removed BBQs from each property. Therefore, please remember to pack your own, or alternatively purchase a disposable BBQ for alfresco cooking.
LAKE SAFETY: All outside terrace areas are child proof and have over waist height glass balustrades all the way around, providing a safe environment for children.
SPECIFICATIONS: may change from the items listed here. Please check prior to booking if you require any further clarification or confirmation of important items.
