Our 20 acre lake forms the heart of The Tranquil Otter private nature reserve and is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna including otters, swans, kingfishers and numerous species of ducks. Surrounding the lake is private woodland with pathways around the perimeter giving access to a wetland board walk and a bird screen and hide.
