Little more than a couple of days after booking the holiday Harry unexpectedly fell ill again with his arthritic joints, sadly a return to this quiet idyll was not to be. We nearly didn't come, it was a effort to get motivated enough to pack our stuff. In the end we decided it better to come and try to relax than mope about our home which was now so quiet a place.
Upon arriving at the Tranquil Otter lodge we immediately felt at ease, I hadn't finished looking around the place when Phil decided to get his shorts on and jumped into the hot tub.
Our own little boat....
It probably took half an hour to walk around the perimeter of lake Lough which we did every day about eight o-clock, this is the view across the lake with our lodge in the distance.
The owners of the Tranquil Otter wrote in the information booklet that their own dog Leah might pay us a visit from time to time. Here's our Mick fussing Leah.
With bird feeders in place did we see any wildlife other than Leah? Well here's a clue....
Crikey it feels like a gold fish bowl with these pesky patio door peckers, more next time.
What a beautiful place Debbie. That's what I call luxury.
ReplyDeleteYou gotta admire the cheek of those Mallards lol
Yeah I thought of you Keith that you would enjoy this place but it wasn't cheap, no siree. You probably have just as good a spot at Caldercote maybe even better with the diversity of wildlife, better still its on your doorstep and free. I did enjoy it though doing nought but chill, no tramping around looking at the shops. I'm becoming a bit of an antisocial ewd git, hmmm... like the sound of that;-D
ReplyDeleteLooks a gorgeous place to relax.
