Having spent a month apart, all we wanted was to chill out, relax and have some quality time together. We stayed in the Arctic Skua lodge, quite small but perfect for 2, with everything you needed, comfortable and very cozy! The view in the morning and then in then evening as the sun went down was beautiful and made all...

We just spent 4 nights for our Honeymoon in an amazing one bedroom Lodge called Chiffchaff. When we arrived we were a little disappointed at how small and how close our lodge was too our neighbour but the minute we stepped inside all our initial feelings just went away. The lodge itself was so cute with everything we could possible...

Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed on arrival, the layout of the lodge can appear deceptive. Our lodges are angled away from each other and south facing and I am pleased to hear that you discovered that the lodges at the Tranquil Otter are secluded from others.
We are pleased that you...

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...

Happy New Year and thank you for your review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your Honeymoon at the Tranquil Otter and that like Dave the swan you are making your own plans.
We have a lot of mute swans at the moment, RSPB man who visits once a month counted 34. It is great to sit in the hot...

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...

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...

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...

Stayed at the Tranquil Otter for four nights, married at Gretna whilst we were away. Had a fab time, really enjoyed the hot tub and the beautiful location. Had a go in the rowing boat which was fun. Our dogs loved the walk around the lake. The staff provide an excellent service we had a minor issue but it was...

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are sorry that you found the bed uncomfortable and you did bring this to our attention. We appreciate this very much, as it does provide us with an opportunity to resolve the matter. In this case we did provide a bed topper, which helped. Two of our one bedroom...

Have been to the Tranquil Otter 7 times now, and this visit was our first to a two bed lodge (The Egret). It was AMAZING ... hot tub, three toilets, sauna, free standing bath and, oh, the tranquility :-) Sipping champagne cocktails in the hot tub under the stars was just the best feeling ever - we came home so...

We have just returned from a week at the Tranquil Otter which certainly lived up to the name! The best part for us was the fact that we had finally found somewhere luxurious for us and which welcomed our two dogs. They loved the daily walk around the lake, and the visits further afield. It was also great to be...

We have just returned from 3 nights at the Tranquil Otter, where we spent our Honeymoon. The lodge was immaculate, well equipped and very private. The hot tub was fantastic and we used it daily and at night time also. We were greeted every morning by ducks wanting bread and a pair of swans with their eight cygnets, beautiful. We...
