We have been to hot tub lodges before but never anywhere that has your pets in mind.
This was a small family break and it was the first time we hired a high chair, it was so clean and the place was immaculate when we got there.
We will be back, the whole place was better than we thought.

We loved staying here. The lough is beautiful and the opportunity to be so near the bird life is delightful. We enjoyed the walk around the lough and the ease of visiting the Solway AONB, Hadrians Wall, and the Solway Air Museum.
There was an administrative slip up on key codes, with the result that we could not get in on arrival but this was soon sorted. Our welcome pack was addressed to an unknown 'Claire' rather than me so clearly à glitch in the system. Apart from that we had everything we needed. The first few days of warm weather enabled us to really enjoy the hot tub and view across the lake.

2nd time staying at Chiffchaff Lodge and love everything about it - cosy, warm, clean and well equipped with everything you need. Loved relaxing in the hot tub at night looking at the stars or just sitting out on the decking overlooking the water, if its peace and tranquility you want this is the perfect place!
Thank you Tranquil Otter for a wonderful stay!

We previously stayed in the Tranquil Otter a couple of times I think 2021, around COVID.
So February 2025 We decided last minute to book a weekend that became available. We stayed 3 nights in Chiffchaff Lodge which is a 2 person lodge.
We had a fabulous break. So glad to see that this place has not gone downhill in the few years since we last stayed. Everything was perfect. The lodge is extremely well equipped, spotlessly clean. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. The welcome package is great and we enjoyed the biscuits and the chocolate. The barrow load of logs supplied is plenty for the three days I used them all but it was cold out so it was lovely to have the burner on in the afternoon as well as the evening. The lodge itself is not cold, in fact we even turned the heating off.
The hot tub is lovely, and for me it's the highlight, I spent far too long in it while looking across the lake or talking to the ducks and the swans. Plastic glasses are supplied if you want to have a little glass of fizz in the tub.
The robes are great for the hot tub, and the bath towels are enormous and soft.
The toiletries are lovely
Things I wish I had taken included olive oil for cooking and sauces etc, although salt and pepper is supplied. I took some kitchen roll and also tinfoil and used it for lining the oven trays =less washing up, although there is a dishwasher and tablets.
The only thing I didn't like and it's probably being picky is the entrance ramp to the lodge is covered in a phenomenal amount of bird droppings. It had been brushed for our arrival but just kept coming I was worried because it felt like we were trailing bird poo into the lodge floors and mats each time we came in. We did take our shoes off as soon as we got in. I did brush some of it off the ramp a couple of times but it is a losing battle. I'm not sure what can be done to prevent that other than perhaps extending a sheltered bit over the ramp.
All in all I can highly recommend the peace and quiet of the Tranquil Otter. The lodges are the best equipped we have stayed in. These lodges are probably a little more expensive than others, but worth it. You get what you pay for. We will definitely be back.

Very lovely stay for the 2nd time. A bit dusty on the TV cabinet and we could have done with instructions for the TV. We used to live in Carlisle so it was lovely catching up with friends. Needed a peaceful break and that’s exactly what we got. We’ll certainly be back. If you can inform us of any future offers that would be very appreciated.

Had the most amazing 2 night stay at ChiffChaff lodge for our 10th anniversary! The lodge was so cosy and clean just what we needed! The little touches of the welcome hamper to include our pooch Patch was lovely and made us feel so welcome would definitely recommend Tranquil Otter a lovely site with beautiful lodges surrounded by wildlife! Perfect x

First time staying here. The lodge is very luxurious and has everything you'd expect and need for a comfortable stay. One minor gripe, would've liked an extra (outdoor) towel for the hot tub. The setting is beautiful. The lodges are at the side of a lake and you are provided with a boat to row around it - very relaxing and peaceful. The lodge was private and cozy. Would highly recommend.

After staying here annually for over 10 years, we know where to book when we need that "get away from it all" place. Everything is as good today as it was in 2010. We have tried different seasons over the years and never been disappointed with anything..NOT EVEN THE WEATHER. .

We had an amazing time in Chiffchaff Lodge! The lodge is perfect & has everything you need. Going outside in the morning & being greeted by ducks & swans, what a privilege! I could just sit there all day! The hot tub was spotless too, just what you need after a day's walking! This is the nicest lodge we have ever stayed in, we will be back!

This was our second visit which is unusual as we don’t usually go back but the Tranquil Otter is an exception to our rule
The chiffchaff lodge extremely well appointed for all your needs
The location is why you visit as the views from each lodge are stunning over the Lough the wild bird life is captivating and to help you bliss out more a fabulous spacious hot tub with a fabulous view
What more could you ask for oh great customer service not that we needed anything more other than more duck food but staff on site are always very friendly and helpful
Thanks KnS

I booked a last minute break and was offered ChiffChaff lodge at a slight discount and a early check in at 15:00. I arrived and was amazed by the lodge and the location. I had also booked a massage with Georgina for 4pm and what a way to start the weekend. The lodge did what it said on the tin, but i was disappointed by the cleaning in the bathroom, the showerhead in particular was in need of a very good clean. Sitting out on the decking making friends with the ducks and swans was lovely. The fresh pint of milk in the fridge was a nice touch. There was a rowing boat to use, but because of all the rain it had quite a bit of water in it, and i didnt feel i could safely bail it out on my own. The lodge burner was delightful, as the weather was not in my favour this was a welcome addition. I would definitely like to stay again and bring the family next time.

We loved every minute of our weekend away, from booking to check out, it was the smoothest weekend ever. We were informed at every step over the weeks before we arrived and the website has every single bit of detail you could ever need so we knew exactly what was in the lodge before we arrived. The keyless entry was fantastic and the view was incredible. We were celebrating a birthday so the welcome sign, birthday card and bubbles were very well received. The hot tub was great and the location was just perfect for the very tranquil surroundings. We took food with us but did get a takeaway from the recommended place on the login and would eat there again! Will definitely be back.

My husband and I stayed for three nights in Chiffchaff Lodge at The Tranquil Otter, amazing is the word to use, lovely cosy lodge with everything you need included, very private with a beautiful view across the lake ( boat included )
and a fabulous hot tub on the private decking to finish the day. This was our second stay and I can see a third visit in the near future.

The lady who rang to help with the booking was personable, friendly and very helpful, and even offered up an upgrade as the hot-tub in the cabin we'd looked to book wasn't available for the dates we were looking for.

The cabin felt as if there was no-one around for miles, was very comfortably appointed, with a private deck and view across the lake. We were looking for a complete getaway, and couldn't have asked for anything more - we will definitely be going back again.

Absolutely Marvellous!

I didn't realise that it was possible with a child under 2 , to combine luxury, in the countryside without compromising on ones privacy and managing to experience pure serenity all at once - well we did at the Tranquil Otter.

Waking up naturally to the dawn chorus, the mix of fresh coffee and forest dew to stimulate yet relax the senses with a view to calm even the most active mind (and toddler)
We shall return.

Truly Splendid
Thank You
