Family fun

The Tranquil Otter is great place for spending your special times together. There is much to do and see throughout the year.

Have a great time in our two bedroom lodges, Buzzard, Dunnock and Egret.

The Tranquil Otter is a great place for children to:

• roam freely through the woodland surrounding the lake
• learn about wildlife
• explore the Hadrian's Wall nearby
• explore Carlisle Castle
• simply play and spend time at Walby Farm Park.

We also have wifi so that they can catch up with their preferred entertainment too..

Young intrepid explorers between from 11 years onwards might want to explore the woods around the lake without Mum and Dad. Internet connection in the lodge means helps connect you to the outside world, if you need to or provide you with access to friends and family on Facebook or Skype. If you have netflix or lovefilm accounts then these can be accessed through our internet connection.

Hadrian's Wall and Solway is within walking distance. Tullie House museum, Walby Farm Park, Carlisle Cathedral and Castle are a short drive away, as is Gretan Gateway shopping experience.

Indulge in the hot tub and in your lodge. All of our two-bedroom lodges have large decks from which to watch the Queen’s swans, ducks, robins, buzzards, bats and many more. A woodland walk around the lake with paths and streams to explore’ let their imaginations roam.
