We’re always delighted to speak
with property owners who are
looking to nurture their property
and help it grow to be profitable.
We’ve devised this handy growth guide
to help explain our services and tell you a
bit about how we can help your property
flourish. Before you read on we’d like to
introduce our Managing Director Paul
Liddell. Paul has managed Lakelovers since
1999, leading our highly qualified property
management, marketing and customer
service teams.
Paul’s entire career has been in the
self-catering industry, and his knowledge of
our market here in the Lake District is vast.
Paul is also Chairman of Cottageline, the
UK’s leading online portal for high quality
self-catering accommodation. “We’re
motivated by every new addition to our
portfolio, and we’ve proven the benefit of
choosing to grow with us. By working with
you to create an individual plan for growth
we turn holidaymaker enquiries into successful
bookings, and successful bookings into
reliable repeat bookings.”
We hope you find our Growth Guide
informative and we look forward to
speaking with you soon.
The Lakelovers Team.
