“The property is very modern with gorgeous bathrooms and huge rooms for the whole family but feels a tad unloved with paint chipping off the walls and an overgrown garden, which would have been lovely for the children to explore.”
The Wi-Fi could do with updating as doesn’t reach all rooms in the house especially main living area where the smart tv is.
The owner did answer a phone call to respond to a query but hasn’t replied to a separate text message advising of a few issues during our stay.
Conniston is a beautiful village with easy access to Lake Windemere and lots of outdoor activities.
Thank you for your feedback.
We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay.
We take all comments on board, we will ask our Maintenance Team to look at the WIFI.
Thank you- The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team
Dear Kathryn, Thank you for your feedback. The house was actually renovated in 2018/2019 and the damp bits redecorated in 2021 but damp conditions in the Lake District and issues maintaining the original lime plaster in old houses mean that it needs very regular replastering and redecorating in winter. This will be done winter 2023 ready for spring 2024. Regarding the garden, it was designed with different areas. There is the large lawn area to the front and side, with flower beds forming a boundary between that and the more wild areas on the lake & hill side. There is a small orchard area with apples and plums, large trees with a rope swing, BBQ area and seats placed at view points. Towards the boundary it is wilder, but this is intentional to create areas for wildlife including birds, deer, rabbits and frogs. There are paths cut through the long grass in summer and kids are always very welcome to explore. I'm sorry I didn't respond to your message about the issues you raised, you had left by then so I redirected the issues to the maintenance team and got them fixed, but please rest assured you were not ignored, I appreciate the feedback and got on with fixing the issues you raised. Many thanks.
