Good friendly customer service, great directions to the place (no need for sat nav !). Some teenagers might find facilities quiet, however our kids enjoyed having time to play family board games, reading and the boat. They even have a chinese that delivers, couldn't ask for any more.. 10 out of 10. more

Have been previously but 5 years ago and has always stayed with me since then. This time was even better as the lodges were cosy last time but have since been upgraded to be absolutely fantastic. This trip was a treat for my 40th birthday and it couldn't have been any nicer. It was as beautiful a setting as I... more

What a wonderful relaxing place, truly an ideal location for getting away and relaxing, We will without doubt return, the only problem we found was that the lodge and lake were so comfortable and peaceful we didn't want to venture far. Which given the beauty of the area is a bit of a shame, still, all the more reason to... more

Alan and I had such a lovely time here. We needed peace and no responsibilities and this we had in abundance. We really admire what Nick and Tazeem are doing at The Tranquil Otter - we are all for conservation and going green. The lodge was almost perfect! Tazeem will know what that means!! Everything was catered for. My son... more

My partner and I decided to book The Tranquil Otter for our honeymoon as we got married in Gretna Green. We had a few specifics on what we wanted, a lodge, a lake and a hot tub! On finding the website, it was pretty much clear straight away that this was the place! On booking up we asked for some... more

My new wife, 2 year old daughter and i decided to try honeymooning in the UK so as not to generate too much stress for our daughter, and consequntly ourselves ! How right we were to make that choice. Staying in lodge 3, it was very well presented and its lakeside setting is just perfect. When sitting in the hot... more
