5 star lakeside lodges at The Tranquil Otter

The Tranquil Otter is eight luxury self-catering lodges on the shore of Thurstonfield Lough, each one surrounded by beautiful woodland. We are an ideal destination for a romantic getaway, a luxury break or a family holiday - whatever you need to relax. There is something for everyone with comfort and luxury at home, a nature reserve outside your door and the very best of Cumbria just beyond.

Luxury - all our lodges are Visit Britain accredited as five star with everything that you'd expect, unbeatable access and touches that make the Tranquil Otter holiday extra special.

Comfort - each lodge has all modern conveniences (including wifi), a log fire and a deck overlooking the Lough with its own private hot tub.

Access - wide doors throughout the lodges accommodate wheelchairs and our bathrooms are accessible too. All our guests can enjoy the natural surroundings from a boat or boardwalk around the lake shore.

Nature and scenery - there's nowhere quite like the Tranquil Otter for relaxing and watching the world of warblers, woodpeckers and wildlife go by. All this on your doorstep plus the Solway coast and Lake District National Park are only a short drive (or cycle) away.

Landscape - the Tranquil Otter is just a few miles from the best of the Northren Lake District, with lakes and fells at every turn as well as the hidden tarns and sheltered forests.

 Activities and visits - Carlisle and Cumbria have fantastic places to visit and activities to try and we're well placed for you to explore the City's history and heritage. The area also has some of the best food and real ale in the Country.
