If you’re looking for some quality R&R you’d do well to find anywhere better. We stayed for 3 nights in the Chiffchaff Lodge and were gutted we didn’t book it for a week. The lodges are impeccable, the surrounding area is beautiful and the hot tub overlooking the lake is unreal. It’s perfect. We even had the luxury of some baby moorhens nesting right by our jetty so we could watch them from the hot tub – even David Attenborough doesn’t get that! We’re planning on coming back next year as it was so special, it really was a great way to recharge the batteries.

Me and my wife stayed here for a week after our wedding and we could not have asked for more. The owners and staff are very polite and couldn’t help you more. The cabin we stayed in was of the highest standard equipped with anything you could imagine, clearly 5 star. The kitchen was immaculate and very well equipped, the bathroom had a large bath and a separate shower. The bedroom was superbly presented with attention to detail shown throughout. The hot tub was well used by the wife and I as we was lucky enough to have brilliant weather. Log cabin, hot tub, log burner and a row boat….what more could you want for a romantic get away? BOOK NOW!

Fantastic, luxury holiday, felt like we had won the lottery!!! – The lodge was in the best setting ever, the title the Tranquil Otter reflects how it really is. Little touches by the staff, ie anniversary banner, spotless amenities, conveniently situated rurally in secluded location, but close to Carlisle. Beautiful lake and the boat was lovely, with scenic walks with our dogs around the lake.

I would just like to say a huge thank you for such a lovely weekend. The lodge was amazing and we couldn’t get over how beautiful the scenery was outside onto the Lake. It was perfect! The lady who waited on our arrival was extremely kind and helpful. Thank you again for everything. I will definitely miss the hot tub…
