Egret Lodge – Accessible Lakeside Lodge

Welcome to Egret Lodge, a wheelchair-accessible haven for up to four guests at The Tranquil Otter in Thurstonfield. Situated amidst peaceful lakefront landscapes, Egret Lodge is thoughtfully designed to blend charm, comfort, and accessibility for an inviting and inclusive retreat.

Upon entering, you’ll find an open-plan living area that takes full advantage of its stunning surroundings, with panoramic windows framing the lake’s serene views. The living area includes a recliner sofa and a log burner set on a raised stone surround, providing warmth and a cosy ambiance. The layout allows level access throughout, including to the spacious decking area. The adjacent galley-style kitchen is well-equipped, with amenities such as a mid-height oven and reachable counters and appliances for added convenience, though some high cabinets may be out of reach from a seated position.

Egret Lodge’s two bedrooms provide restful spaces with adaptable sleeping arrangements. The master bedroom features a comfortable king-size bed and an ensuite shower room, while the second bedroom offers a choice of twin or super king beds. This bedroom is conveniently located next to a fully accessible wet room, ensuring guests with mobility needs can enjoy a smooth and comfortable stay. The wet room includes a step-free shower with a handheld attachment, a wheel-under sink with paddle-style taps, and a toilet with side transfer space and handrails for added support.

Outside, the lodge offers a decked area with level access and a sunken hot tub, perfect for unwinding while surrounded by the tranquillity of nature. A ramp from the decking provides easy access to the grassy BBQ area near the lake, creating a picturesque setting for outdoor meals. Ramped access leads from the property to the parking area, making coming and going seamless.

Egret Lodge is a peaceful escape, welcoming assistance dogs, with convenient on-site parking and accessible features to ensure a comfortable experience. Located just minutes from dining spots like The Royal Oak, the lodge offers both relaxation and easy access to local attractions, making it the perfect base for a relaxing, accessible getaway in nature.
