Me and my husband went on Saturday for a meal, hubby had the pie of the day and I had the Fish Pie, the fish pie was the best I have ever tasted and was definitely homemade the staff were very good and efficient would definitely recommend. 😋😊👍👍👍👍👍

Excellent food!!!!

What a lovely place to have a long lazy weekend in. Owner was so helpful from start to finish. Lodge itself is gorgeous with added bonus of a hot tub outside and indoor sauna, brilliant. Loads of room, we took two dogs with us who enjoyed great walks along the towpath. Pub/restaurant 5 minute walk. Went to Ely, what a beautiful city loads to see and do. We were very unfortunate with the weather wet and cold the whole 4 days, but we had come prepared with wellies etc but the lodge was warm and cosy. The owner had even put up a Christmas tree which was a lovely gesture. We will definitely return and have recommended to friends and family.

Great stay at No 59

We stayed at the no.59 lodge and we were very pleased with the location and was just what we needed for a relaxing break away. 

Although the place could of done with a dust of some cob webs, but could of been due to the time of year we visited. We found a few things weren’t working, but as soon as we advised the lodge staff they were quick to respond and resolve. We are looking forward to booking another break away soon. 

Lovely stay at no.59

On the final leg of our boating holiday, we were making good time so decided to have a leisurely lunch at the Lazy Otter! There are mooring spaces for visitors but we decided to moor further up the river in order to stay overnight as well! A short walk across the fens and we arrived. We were cordially welcomed into the establishment and got seated immediately. Drinks arrived and then we ordered a Lazy Otter burger for me, a cod goujon ciabatta for the wife and the kids had their usual of burgers, chips and beans - we are on holiday after all but it will be back to healthy food next week!! Our food arrived swiftly and it was sublime - lovely tasting beef in the burgers, succulent cod in the ciabatta - couldn't ask for more, but the kids did so they had ice creams and then we played in the garden overlooking the river. Be warned, every Friday there is a coach party booked so it will get busy, as well as being adjacent to both a marina and a holiday home site! All said and done, this was the BEST meal we had on our holiday!!!

Lunch by the serene river - beautiful location indeed!

Went Saturday for my wife's birthday meal, being a coeliac sometimes can cause problems 
However the staff are all aware of it, the chef came out to discuss options with Carole.

The meal was excellent and the staff first rate, can thoroughly recommend a visit.

Great Place

Went here for lunch this afternoon when let down at another local pub, was great. Lovely friendly staff, great outdoor seating - with a great play area for the kids. Food was lovely - tasty and arrive very quickly, good beer selection, happy days.

Great chilled family afternoon 

Was a little worried when I read previous reviews after I booked, thankfully my stay was 5 star. A little gem and would 100% book again. It's not a 5star hotel but what I found it to be was a very welcoming, comfy place to stay. Room was very clean. Bed was comfy, probably better than I own! Bar had a very good selection, not the boring lagers that you get from franchises!! Breakfast was first class . I had 2 evening meals here and they were excellent. Chillie shredded beef on veg Noddles, wow can't wait to have that again.
Lovely walk along the river to stretham water pump, was so relaxing. A restaurant with a lovely view over the river Ouse and surrounding countryside, watching the rabbits and swans whilst eating was a highlight of my stay. We all have different opinions in life but I would honestly stay here again. A good base for visiting, especially if visiting Cambridge and Ely. I'm sure the owner would help if you had any issues and you spoke to whilst on your stay. Hope you enjoy like I did.

In the area visting friends.

In my line of work I stay away in hotels and inn's on a regular basis and over the years have stayed in many covering the length and breadth of the country. I have to say that The Lazy Otter is right up there with the best.
I can usually tell what a place is going to be like when I first walk in but this time I could tell from outside that it would be really good and I wasn't wrong. I walked into the bar area to check in and was met by a very nice, older gentleman who went through the checking in procedure very quickly. I spotted that there was a choice of real ales available which is always a big tick in the box for me. I was shown to my room, which is always a nice gesture. The room was tastefully decorated, had a lovely bed and proper wooden furniture. The bathroom and shower were also good. I went back down to the bar and ordered an ale and it was spot on. The evening meal menu was varied and very competitively priced. My meal arrived and it was beautiful, really well cooked and presented. I had to try a few more pints, just to make sure that they were as good as the first, and they were.
When you work away and stay in hotels on your own, some can be quite lonely but not this place. The staff are so friendly and engaging that I was able to stay sat on a bar still for the rest of the evening. The following morning I went down to breakfast and had a table in the restaurant overlooking the marina and with the sun just starting to break through it was very picturesque and peaceful. The breakfast is cooked to order and you can help yourself to juice and cereals while you wait.
I need to find a reason to have another meeting in the area so that I can visit again. For me it just ticked every box.

Excellent overnight stay

Spending 4 nights here with husband and 4 friends. Lovely accommodation with hot tub . And fully equipped kitchen though local pud serves brilliant food . 
Easy for Ely and Cambridge.
Lovely clean accommodation nice balcony and BBQ provided . Right by the river , very quiet and peaceful . Feels secure , though it is gated. Very pleasant stay.

Nice bright / light aspect .

Lazy days at lazy Otter

We stayed in lodge 46, it was very clean, and spacious. The lounge had a good large TV, although I think the setttees need replacing. The kitchen is also well appointed, including a dish washer (do remember to bring your dish washer tablets). Also the heating is very efficient.

Security to get into the complex is second to none, requiring car access via two gates.

NOTE: There is NO wifi, the advertising needs to be changed (I alway bring our own router when we go away, so this was not an issue for us.

He did have a problem with the hot tub being way to hot (43 degrees), however a neighbour popped over and helped us turn down the temperature down,

BEWARE this is a split level lodge, there are 4 steps between the loung/dinning and the kitchen, so disabled or people infirm on their feet should look else where.

Final, it says you overlook the river and the marine, there is a large bank between the lodge and river, yes you can see the top of the boats, but you aren’t really over looking it.

All in all, I would be happy and recommend others visit, so long as they are aware of the points mentioned above
