🌊🚣‍♂️ Exclusive Rowing Boats & A Mystery About Lake Depth 🚣‍♂️🌊

Did you know all our lodges come with their own rowing boats for you to enjoy? 🚤 Plus, life jackets are available to order at no extra charge – safety first, adventure second! 🦺

Now, we often get asked, "How deep is the lake?" 🏞 Well, our very own Mike tells us it’s up to his neck in the deepest part... 🤔 Now, we’re not saying Mike has been in the lake that deep… but he’s very, very familiar with the depths of it. 😜

Come find out for yourself, just... don’t ask Mike how he knows. 😂

Think you’ve got what it takes to craft the perfect poem about The Tranquil Otter? Share your best attempt with us and you could win a special treat! 🎁

Tucked away where peace abides,
Hot tubs steam as time subsides.
Evening whispers soft and low,

Tranquil waters gently flow.
Rowing boats drift, light and free,
As lake views stretch to eternity.
Nature hums in sweet embrace,
Quiet moments, slow in pace.
Under starry skies so wide,
In luxury lodges guests reside.
Lanterns glow with golden light,

Over waters calm and bright.
Timeless beauty, still and true,
Tucked in nature’s heart anew.
Each new dawn, a gift to stay,
Resting souls along the way.

The winner will be announced on the 11th of March
