Requested that dishes were washed before we leave, but no dishwashing liquid was provided. 2 toilet rolls for 6 people was a bit too little

First impressions are wow this is super modern and looks great. We stayed for a week however and the more I looked the more I noticed how tired the property had become. Scrapes to the cabinets, marks on walls and stains on carpets. Also a layer of grime in crevices in bathrooms and kitchen. On arrival I found unwashed utensils in the cutlery drawer. On leaving I checked all the drawers and under sofa cushions (having kids they like to squirrel toys everywhere) and was quite disgusted to find a pair of socks in a bedroom drawer, 1 random sock and a whole array of crumbs and bits that make me feel queasy under the sofa cushions. I would think hoovering this would be a bare minimum considering how easily the cushions came off the sofa. Needs a professional to come in and give it a deep clean. The bed in the bedroom next to the bathroom was as bumpy as the surrounding area. It was incredibly uncomfortable and needs a replacement mattress at the very least. I was surprised that there wasn't a dishwasher considering how much kitchen cabinet storage there was. It would really add to the property. The carpets in the hall and master bedroom were essentially made from coir matting and really hurt the feet if you didn't wear socks. When we first arrived at the property there was a sheet with instructions for sky tv which stated there was no WIFI at the property. As the listing stated that there was, it meant that I had to ring the sykes rep which wasn't a great customer experience when you have just driven across the country. The rep couldn't get hold of anyone for me but whilst on hold we found a little cupboard under the TV and the wifi box was hidden at the back with the password. We are not sure whether this was purposely hidden or not but we used it anyway considering WIFI availability was one of the key deciders for booking the property. Coop and sainsburys a 2 minute walk down the road. Good parking at the back. Quiet area day and night. Italian, Indian, Greggs, Coffee shops and Chinese restaurants a 3 min walk away. We found the walk down to the lake too much for 2 kids under 5 so we caught the bus back instead, from the lakeside to the Windermere library (5 min stroll to bus stop and £2 for the adults single journey). Overall I think with a deep clean and a few replacements this property is a fantastic place to use as a base to stay in the lakes.

Very dissappointed by this (and used up all of my data for the month). Welcome pack in property states 'there is no wifi in this property' (i have a picture of this). Beds really uncomfortable, one held up with wooden blocks and other matress had huge lumps and bumps in it, didnt have a decent nights sleep the whole week. Other than that it was clean, modern and a pleasant stay but wouldnt return due to wifi and beds. Would also reccommend bowness as a better location, not much happening in windermere
