We found the lighting in the main kitchen/living space poor so would advise perhaps a standard lamp at the lounge end of the room. The can opener didn't work so we had to buy our own. We suggest either a hose pipe or bowel for washing off the dog. Also we found the two gates a nuisance especially in the pouring rain, particularly the gate onto the road which is on a bend. However, we enjoyed our stay although a little pricey for such a small lodge. The nibbles and wine were a nice touch

Perfect base for a lovely week in the lakes.

Rarely, have we ever thought of going back to stay in the same accommodation but Watersong has stolen our hearts. Evening drinks sitting in awe of the beautiful lake Coniston is a memory firmy locked in my mind. Thank you to the lovely Richard and his wife for a very nice bottle of red and snacks.
