Myself and my family arrived this weekend along with our Rottweiler puppy and were blown away with the lodge itself, the welcome we received from the cleaning staff and the welcome treats were such a nice touch. The accommodation was clean, spacious and had an amazing view. We spent the first couple of days really enjoying the experience.
On our third day there we arrived back to the lodge after spending the day out at around 3.30pm and we were only back for around 10 minutes. Someone walked past the lodge and it disturbed the dog so she barked once or twice. A couple of minutes later the owner of lodge came to our gate and told us to put the dog inside because she was barking. He told us other people don't like dogs and her barking was disturbing others. It was 3.30pm and we had been at the Lodge for around 10minutes at this point. The dog had barked twice. It really made us feel unwelcome and it soured the rest of our stay. Ironically for 2 nights in a row a lodge further up from ours which had 2 smaller dogs allowed their dogs to bark for periods of up to 30minutes at 11.00pm waking myself and my children up whilst my dog was fast asleep and kept indoors quietly past the 10pm requested no noise time set out by the owners.
We have been on many trips with our dog and whilst she is loud as she is a big breed, she is good and we are responsible owners so we were completely taken aback with being singled out and made to feel to the contrary
Unfortunately we were made to feel unwelcome and will not be returning.

We had an amazing 4 night stay in the Alder lodge. The lodge met all our needs and had an exceptionally well equipped kitchen.

The location on the lake had idyllic views and despite having close neighbours the lodges are installed in a manner where you were isolated. Aside from one evening when someone was playing loud music the whole area is so peaceful.

The row boat supplied was a nice touch, granted a bit difficult to row with all the vegetation on the lake but we used it most days.

The hottub was wonderful.

We will return.

I was happy to be in Alder lodge as it is completely different to the others available.
I was worried my kids would be bored, however there was plenty for them to keep busy exploring and getting to grips with nature.

Host was fantastic. Very polite and friendly.

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights for our wedding anniversary. We flew in to Liverpool from Jersey and drove a few hours north to the lodge. The company kept us well i formed of the hot tub issue before our arrival and were excellent in communicating with me thwy even refunded some money for the problem as we couldn't use it for the fist day. On arrival the lodge was wonderful clean, well equipped and comfortable. We had a lovely 3 nights. I guess one negative was that it wasn't as private as I thought and found the next door cabin was pretty close and you could easily hear the neighbours. Also they came to check the hot tub daily so it took away the privacy and solitude we were looking for.

Four of us stayed in Alder Lodge for my birthday celebration. We had a fabulous time exploring parts of The Lake District and surrounding areas but we were always keen to get back to the lodge as it was so cosy! The beds were really comfortable and everything we needed during our stay was provided. We would definitely love to visit again and stay longer. The hot tub was a real bonus. Thank you!

Myself and my family had the most perfect stay. This is our 2nd time at Alder lodge and hope to return again.
The team are so responsive no issue is too big or too small.
Alder lodge is peaceful, beautiful and has everything we need.
As a wheelchair user this lodge is absolutely perfect. Spacious to get around and wet room.
The peace and tranquility was exactly what the dr ordered (literally)
Thank you again for a perfect stay. We did not want to come home.

Absolutely loved our stay in the Alder lodge. The lodge itself was very clean and had everything we needed. Extremely comfortable and we loved the bathroom products. Had a chat with the lady checking our hot tub, very friendly and informative. Lovely walk around the lake, it was just what we needed. Thank you

We loved the Alder Lodge - it is so
quiet and peaceful - it’s nicer in real
life than the pictures and is fully equipped from
the hot-tub to the little boat provided to go around the lake. We had a visit every morning from
a swan and ducks and we will definitely go back - we loved it

Our short break was absolutely delightful. The cabin, Alder Lodge, was warm and the facilities were great. Very comfortable beds and everything was spotless.
The hamper was a real treat, packed with local goodies and the doggy box was a really nice touch.
We have given it a score of 4 for value for money as it was rather expensive, even though it was out of season and I wouldn't say it was luxurious. It was very comfortable and a real nice treat.
Having said that we look forward to coming back and would highly recommend the Tranquil Otter.

2nd stay at the Tranquil Otter and it was lovely.
On arrival our beds had not been made up as requested. Quick phone call to the helpline and extra bedding delivered for us to fix the twin room.
We were also missing our robes this time, but despite these hiccups we still had a lovely stay.
These lodges are very nicely presented with quality furnishings, appliances and bedding. Good hot tub with hooks for robe/towels beside. Little row boat for a trip out on the lough is a lovely touch.
Lovely views, lots of ducks, birds, swans around, private and peaceful. We also recieved a lovely bottle of prosecco and chocolates as return customers.
Will definitely be back again next year! Thank you too the T.O. team for another lovely stay x

We had a lovely stay at Alder Lodge. The lodge was clean, had a welcome pack for us and the dogs, which was such a great extra touch.

The hot tub was big and overlooked the lake.

We ordered a take away to be delivered to the lodge, which worked very well.

On the first night we tried to light the log burner and were convinced there was a bird in the flue. The owner came over immediately and contacted the chimney sweep. However we wanted to ensure the bird was ok asap and decided to remove the inner plates of the log burner. Only to discover fluffy owl legs at the bottom of the flue!
The owner came back immediately and contact the bird of prey man Gary. Who also came instantly and safely pulled the bird out at 9.15pm on a Friday night.
Shout out to Gary who was a real hero!
A surreal experience and an owl with no damage saved

We tried to do a quick hoover before we left (we had 2 dogs with us), however the hoover didn’t really work. I would suggest a new hoover for guests

Overall, a great stay and we highly recommend!

Enjoyed a weekend stay at Alder lodge for a family stay to celebrate a family members birthday and rented 4 lodges at The Tranquil Otter.
The lodge was fantastic and very comfortable with everything you need with lots of essential utensils etc. Great outdoor space with a decking area up to the lake with a usable boat to explore the lake. Hot tub was also great with a lovely view of the lake when sat in it. Totally recommend the lodge.

Came back to Alder Lodge to celebrate my wife's birthday, it never disappointed. We have been to this lovely peaceful oasis 5 times now and we relax as soon as we arrive. Beautiful location and the view across the water is a joy. The team left a gift and a card as well as a message for my wife, a lovely touch and much appreciated.

Thanks to all the team.

Upon arriving to the lodge, we couldn’t believe how beautiful the lodge itself was, aswell as the location. The little snacks and treats for the dog was a nice touch. When unpacking our food for the weekend, we realised the fridge did not feel cold, despite the light showing on the coldest setting. Nevertheless, we unpacked our shopping and kept an eye on this. After a few hours the food all felt like room temperature, so I emailed about this. I did not get a response. When making breakfast in the morning, the bacon had gone a really funny colour and the milk the lodge had left had gone off, as well as all of the other food no longer being fresh. I emailed a second time about this, again to no reply. This meant we had wasted money on food as it had to be binned.

The alder lodge was the perfect place to hide away in for the week. The lodge itself is beautifully decorated and provides plenty of privacy. The setting on the lakeside is picturesque and can be enjoyed in all weather. Looking forward to returning in the winter months!
