Tranquil Waters Reviews

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.
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.
