Tranquil Waters Reviews

I have mixed feelings about Tranquil Waters. First impressions were not good, unlike the lodges around it, Tranquil Waters had cobwebs everywhere, on the steps, railings, walls, which were particularly bad, and under the eaves. The outdoor furniture had splits in it and moss growing on the chairs. The glass on the folding doors was smudged and smeared and looked as if it hasn't been cleaned for quite a while. The inside was much better, clean, tidy and welcoming. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, although it was lacking a chopping board. The oven, as mentioned in previous reviews, didn't have oven trays, although there was a small grill pan which must have belonged to a much smaller oven at some stage. Having said all that, we enjoyed our first visit to the Lake District and our stay at Tranquil Waters, with it's wonderful view. I feel the first impressions let the lodge down as it looks neglected and uncared for, and in need of some refurbishment.

Lovely lodge really enjoyed our stay , we have already booked for next year on our return home. only couple of minor things , hoover didn't work well , no tea towels normally supplied with towels ,could have brought some from home if known had to go buy some. no chopping board or baking tray in the kitchen which made cooking slow for the family , hopefully better equipped for our next stay, overall great holiday. Thank you.

Michael

Great lodge amazing location very hot weather the lodge has great shade from the sun . 2 minutes walk from the lake to the lodge.easy access to the lodge

Alexandra

A fabulous stay right on the lake for our family of 4 and niece. We love white cross bay and tranquil waters made our stay all that more special with the bifold doors and the view out on the the lake. The lodge was absolutely spotless for our arrival and having 5 paddle boards was no issue due to the size of the outside deck area. We had everything we needed for The perfect week to start the summer holidays.

I don't normally leave reviews, but this was such a fantastic experience that it needed highlighting. The Lodge is beautifully presented and in an excellent location, communication with Sykes Cottages has been great and no issues. The whole weekend had been brilliant.

Jeremy

A wonderful family stay that more than lived up to its name. Tranquil Waters is brilliantly located for exploring Windermere and the wider Lake District, with everything you need close at hand while still feeling peaceful and removed from the crowds. The property itself is cosy and immediately welcoming the kind of place where you settle in within minutes. It's wellequipped throughout and the standard of accommodation is high. Nothing felt tired or overlooked. The showers were excellent, and on the warm sunny days we enjoyed, the doors opening directly onto the decking were a real highlight a lovely touch that made the most of the setting. A couple of minor points worth noting for the owners the double socket in the single bedroom appeared faulty it produced an odd smell when in use, so we stopped using it and would recommend it's checked and replaced as a precaution. The TV remote was also a little sluggish, possibly just in need of new batteries. One small note on the layout the en suite is on the narrow side, though the showers themselves were great. None of these detracted significantly from what was a brilliant stay. We'd return without hesitation and would recommend Tranquil Waters to anyone looking for a quality family base in the Lake District.

Sharron

Amazing lodge in a perfect location. Has everything you need and more. We will definitely return!

A lovely lodge in a great spot lake view in front and a lovely stream running down the side. Property was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend.

Tranquil Waters is a clean , comfortable lodge such a beautiful property to relax in and watch the wildlife around you. What a beautiful view of the lake we had too, loved every minute . We will be back hopefully soon.

Angela

The property is even better than portrayed in the pictures . Extremely comfortable and a great outdoor space too . Would definitely return !

Great lodge in a wonderful position. Ideal for our 5 year old granddaughter to mess about in the stream and the lake. Ideally placed between Bowness and Ambleside. We had great weather so overall a lovely 5 days.

Neesha

Not enough basic kitchen gadgets and cutlery. The access door is really tight to open. The bedroom with twin beds is very tight

Fantastic accommodation in a stunning setting. Great location with easy access to surrounding amenities and places of interest. Would reccomend without any hesitation.

We absolutely loved our stay at Tranquil waters and hope to be back in the future. It was a real home from home. Location by the lake was wonderful and we captured some beautiful sunsets. It was a perfect base for us when we were attending a wedding locally. We didn't use the onsite facilities but they looked good. We were surprised at how large the kitchen was which was such a bonus as we love cooking. We even cooked a roast dinner! There was nothing to note that was negative but we do want to bring up a few things for the owner to consider adding to the kitchen utensils. One shelf in the oven was not enough when wanting to use it for cooking multiple items for example we struggled to cook more than one pizza at a time. A pair of scissors would have been helpful along with a cullender to drain pasta or potatoes. My mother was desperate to have a bath but the water was Luke warm and we couldn't get it very hot at all. Luckily the showers were a good temperature. Hooks on the back of doors to hang dressing gownscoats would also have been useful. All in all we had lovely stay and would recommend this property to others.

Shelley

This place exceeded our expectations. The lodge is in a great location with incredible views of the lake and scenery that can be viewed from a large decking area. The actual lodge itself was spotless, the sofa was so comfy and the kitchen was well equipped. It is also decorated to a high standard with lovely soft furnishings. We would love to come back!

Stephen

Great position and a huge decking. The lodge was very clean, the only down side was the settee, which does need replacing rather than a seat support placing under the cushions. The decking needed a good clean, but there are brushes in the lodge, and a bit of exercise lather it was all cleaned. Due to the Oak tree above the decking, so cant be avoided. Recommend mentioning the coffee machine is Tassimo so people can bring the pods. Also some decking lighting might be useful.. There is one outside light. Overall for the price, was a great weekend at the Lodge, thanks.
