The Tranquil Otter

The Tranquil Otter Luxury Lakeside Lodges with the option of hot tubs on a private nature reserve | 20 min to J44 M6. Watch the stars at night, and explore the lake on a boat.

The Tranquil Otter is a nature reserve with the Lough at its heart. We have eight log cabins on the edge of the Lough and all south-facing to take advantage of the Cumbria sun. Each lodge is private, fully furnished with log burner, a boat and the option of a private hot tub. Picnic on the lake any day (except when windy). A great birthday, wedding, Christmas or any day of year gift. Why not treat

yourself to a tranquil break near the Lake District and explore the beautiful English Countryside. Please visit our website www.thetranquilotter.co.uk
and follow us on Twitter & Instagram . We look forward to welcoming you to the Tranquil Otter. Kind Regards,

The Tranquil Otter Team

What would you name this view? 🌅

Every view has a different mood.

Sometimes the lake is bright and sparkling.

Sometimes it's misty and mysterious.

Sometimes the reflections are so perfect they don't look real.

🌿 Wednesday Wisdom 🌿

Sometimes the best thing you can do is slow down. 💚

Take a deep breath, put your phone down, listen to the birds, watch the water and simply enjoy the moment. 🦆🌳💦

✨ You don’t always need to go somewhere new… sometimes you just need to pause and appreciate where you are.

And for our repeat guests, there’s an extra little reason to come back… 💚🦦
You get to be part of our Lodge Club! 🏡✨

Because once you’ve discovered The Tranquil Otter, we love welcoming you back time and time again. 🥰

🏰 Did you know there's a difference between a castle and a fortress?

Just a short drive from The Tranquil Otter, Carlisle Castle is one of England's finest fortresses-and one of its most fascinating.

For more than 900 years, it has stood watch over the Anglo-Scottish border, surviving seven Scottish sieges and playing a pivotal role in British history. It even held Mary, Queen of Scots as a prisoner in 1568.

Today, you can wander through its impressive gatehouse, explore the medieval keep, discover the Tudor artillery battery, and visit Cumbria's Museum of Military Life, where centuries of local history come to life.

It's the perfect day out for anyone who enjoys history, architecture, or simply discovering somewhere new.

Afterwards, return to the peace of The Tranquil Otter, where lakeside views, your own private hot tub, and the quiet of the nature reserve offer the perfect contrast to a day of exploration.

📍 Have you visited Carlisle Castle? We'd love to know your favourite part-or if it's still on your list!
