We recently spent a week at the Tranquil Otter in the Fieldfare Lodge and found it to be a peaceful and well-appointed retreat. The lodge itself was very comfortable – the bed, sofa, and chair were all excellent for relaxing, and everything we could possibly need had been thoughtfully provided. It was great not having to pack lots of extras.

We had pre-ordered several extras including the breakfast pack, luxury welcome pack, and BBQ pack. These were generous and high quality, and they really helped cut down on shopping trips during our stay – a big plus when you’re trying to unwind.

A warm welcome awaited us, with a personalised message and a welcome box including tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits, and even a tea towel to take home – a lovely touch. However, our coffee sachet was already open, so we didn’t feel comfortable using it.

The bathroom was mostly pleasant – the heated towel rail was a real treat – but I did find the bath difficult to use due to the lack of grab rails and awkwardly placed side taps. It was a shame, as I’d hoped for a few long soaks. That said, the shower was excellent, so it became my go-to.

We were also looking forward to using the log burner, especially with the cooler weather, but unfortunately, we couldn’t get it to burn properly despite carefully following the instructions provided on the app. The wood just didn’t catch, which was disappointing and left the lodge a bit chilly at times.

The natural surroundings were a highlight. I loved the bird feeders and spent many hours watching the wide variety of bird species, along with a charming family of mallards and numerous bats in the evening. As a keen wildlife photographer with a background managing luxury safari lodges in Southern Africa, I was particularly impressed by how well the property was run and maintained.

We didn’t use the canoe or rowboat due to the weather, but my husband did enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub and had no issues there.

All in all, it was a lovely stay in a beautiful location with thoughtful details and strong attention to guest comfort. While we may not return – simply because there are many other places we want to explore – we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Tranquil Otter to others looking for a nature-focused getaway in a cosy, well-equipped lodge.

This place is just so relaxing and perfect for a few days get away
The view onto the lake from your the lodge
The boats you can take out onto the lake was lovely
The lodge is secured off so if you do take a pet along they are restricted
The lodge is fully equipped to cook, make meals etc
Tv also had Netflix !
The beds were so comfy was a lovely size for the three of us
We also got 2x Prosecco and a dog treat box on arrival
Thank you so much

Stayed for a weekend, had a truly relaxing time. Everything was there when we arrived, even though the other cabins are quite close, didn’t see or hear anyone, unless we were on the lake in the boats. Lodge was clean and comfortable and a nice hot tub. Would go back again

Absolutley loved it! from the moment we drove into the grounds you could tell it was a special place.
the fieldfare is a very spacious lodge overlooking a large lake and has everything you need, the bed is super comfy and the kitchen well equipped, the living room is very cosy with a log burner that is ready to go should you need it, the bathroom has a large bath with a seperate shower and is fully equipped also. the icing on the cake is when you open the bi fold doors onto the deck with a large hot tub and proper furniture and then a few metres away is your own private jetty with a boat!
We have stayed in many lodges but this beats them all, its also very very quiet which is part of its allure and is a policy adhered to by all visitors.
My only gripe would be the 16:00hr check in which is a bit inconvenient after a long journey and although this seems to be the norm in a lot of accommodation its definitely a deciding factor when choosing where to stay, overall the Tranquil Otter is a 10 out of 10 and we will be back soon.

We have stayed at the Tranquil Otter a number of times. It is the most relaxing location - so peaceful, beautiful view and exceptional lodges. We pre booked afternoon tea for the first time and it was the perfect start to our weekend - sitting in the sun enjoying a fantastic spread and taking in the stunning Lough view. We will be back ….. again!

We spent 2 nights in the Fieldfare Lodge and enjoyed every minute of it. The setting is beautiful, I could spend hours just watching the swan and the ducks on the Lough. The boat that comes with the lodge is a quirky little touch and watching my husband trying to get it out of the mud bank was hilarious!

I’m a wheelchair user and there was plenty space for me to move around the lodge, the bathroom is perfect for my needs with a lovely spacious level access shower, I asked for a shower chair which was in the cabin when we arrived. The bedroom is a little small, but I still managed to get in and around so no complaints really, the bed was really comfortable, I don’t usually sleep well when we go away, but I had 2 great nights sleep in that bed!

The hot tub was a nice touch, my husband used it, but as there’s no hoist I wasn’t able to access it, but it wasn’t a big issue for me, I enjoyed watching the lough and reading my book while he took a dip.

Overall we absolutely loved the Fieldfare Lodge, great communication from the team before we arrived and we won’t hesitate to book again…in fact, we’ve just booked a stay at Christmas!

We’ve lost count of the number of times we’ve stayed at The Tranquil Otter! The location of the lodges is superb - with uninterrupted views to the Lough. The lodge itself was spotless, really well equipped and the hot tub on the decking is the ideal spot to enjoy the views and the peace and quiet. We will definitely be back - again!

Fabulous place for relaxing and chilling out. A couple of observations, not criticism as they didn’t spoil my stay .In the kitchen it was a little dirty on oven casing and drainer rack felt tacky. One end of the sofa felt as if it’s falling apart, sunk in . The duvet was too small for the cover,ocd overload . The track to the lodge very rough and parking area was muddy. Unfortunately my neighbours were loud later on in the day, could hear them over the tv !
The welcome hamper was fantastic, hot tub just perfect and wildlife was great. Would recommend to all my friends.

Our stay at the lodge was amazing we will definitely be back. The lodge was clean, we were given a good amount of logs for the fire, the hot tub is massive and we were gifted a welcome basket with a bottle of prosecco as it was booked for my girlfriends birthday. The area is dark which is ideal on clear nights, we spent one evening looking at the stars from the hot tub. We have stayed in a few lodges before this one but this one tops them all.

I recently left a review for Gadwall Lodge, where we spent the night of my birthday (12th May). On the 13th, we moved into Fieldfare for a further 4 nights. Having visited 77 times, this was one of the best weeks, weather-wise, we have ever had at the Tranquil Otter. We did very little on this trip other than enjoy the outside space with our retired greyhound, Sandy, read, watch the ducklings playing by the boat and enjoying the hot tub! Mo bbq’d 3 nights out of the 4, which was a REAL treat for me ❤️ We did drive to Port Carlisle and Bowness-on-Solway, which we had never visited before. We would highly recommend a visit - the scenery is beautiful and so peaceful. There are cows wandering along the roads, which were lovely to see, although Sandy wasn’t too sure! Fiona & the team at the Tranquil Otter are so helpful and friendly, and we really cannot praise this place highly enough. Will be back for New Year, if not before!
