Had a fantastic week at Turnip Cottage. So peaceful, comfortable and well appointed. The house is to a very high standard and we all loved watching wildlife from the kitchen window. Great local walks for the dog and close enough to towns and attractions if you want that too! Perfect week!

We thought that the cottage was fabulous, lovely bright, warm, comfortable, the family were very welcoming, helpful on arrival. Just a very appointed barn conversion with some quirky touches. Well located for Richmond and Barnard Castle just a shame about the wet weather. Definitely would return in the warmer months.
