Our first visit to the Tranquil Otter – a surprise trip by my husband for my ‘40^th’ & what a wonderful way to spend my birthday week! Weather started off with high winds & rain but has gradually improved & now sitting here is sunshine listening to the birdsong. Have had a fabulous week – not doing a great lot apart from eating well, drinking, lovely walks around the Lough, cosying up in front of the fire & of course the hot tub!

Made friends with the ducks & swans & each tried to get out of the rowing boat although wind blew us back in quicker than we could row at!

Thanks for a wonderful relaxing break in this retreat away from it all.

Lorraine, Byron & Bobby the Dog, 4/4/11 – 8/4/11.
