Just got back from the Tranquil Otter after our stay over new year for a little honeymoon. As everyone has said it is the most beautiful special peaceful place. The lodges are immaculate, and the hot tub is perfect. What better way to start our new married life and 2012 than sitting in a hot tub sipping champagne.

The little touches go a long way, and it was so lovely to arrive to find the shopping we had ordered from tesco's had arrived and Tazeem had put it all away for us!

Was lovely to see Dave the swan and his 7 new babies!!

We will be back without a doubt!!! Maybe with our own babies in tow next time!

Thanks Nick and Tazeem for a fabulous stay xx

Third visit to Tranquil Otter, and still enjoying the visits.
Different lodge for us this visit, we chose Arctic Skua, this is a lovely cosy lodge.

Still cared for to the high standard of the other lodges, I noticed this time the "little things"
What a treat to find small toiletries to sample in the bathroom.

We noticed the change in scenery, so much from last winters visit when it was snow and frost covered.

We relaxed and wrote our Christmas cards, cosied up by the log burner, and sipped champagne in the tub.......
Had a long walk to burn up the calories what a pefect pre-christmas rest before the manic festivities begin.

You wont be dissapointed

We stayed here in October 2011, very nice place it had been recommended by friends years previously.
The lodge has everything you require for a self catering holiday, hot tub was great.
We were woken up one night by noisy neighbours but we spoke to owners who sorted it out, which was good as when you are paying this type of money you want what you pay for which is tranquil!
lovely place and recommended.

This was our second stay at the Tranquil Otter and once again we weren't disappointed. We stayed in the Chiff Chaff lodge which was spotless and very comfortable. We had our own personal jetty where the rowing boat was moored.
We had regular visits from the local ducks, the swans and occasionally the resident (and very friendly dog) Leah.
We were incredibly lucky with the weather and witnessed some incredible sunsets.
We took regular advantage of the hot tub....sipping bubbly under the stars. We also lit the log fire which was lovely.
You can do as much or as little as you like. There are lots of scenique walks. We visited the bird hide.
We would highly recommend a stay here. Although we only live about 5 miles away, we could be anywhere. It is another world where time seems to stand still. We will DEFINITELY be returning.
