Holiday in July!
All of our stay was very good, from Stephen, the host, to the friendly chickens and collie dogs! A wee problem, Stephen sorted out as quickly as he could. The property was very clean, and comfortable. We hope to return some day!

Idyllic Getaway
Gorgeous cosy cottage in a perfect location. Everything was just perfect and all covid precautions are in place. Steve provided lots of local information which included some excellent walks from the doorstep. One of the best cottages we have stayed in and would definately recommend.

Perfect little cottage
We had a lovely, relaxing break at Turnip House. Tucked away in a rural village, the perfect “get away from it all” location. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Great communication from the hosts Stephen and Debbie leading up to our stay and to check everything was satisfactory once we arrived. They also provided an excellent most comprehensive Welcome pack. Would highly recommend to others, we will definitely return!

Idyllic cottage
This was our 1st visit to the area and Stephen was extremely helpful in suggesting places we could visit with our two dogs. The pictures really don’t do Turnip Cottage justice, its more spacious than it looks and so much prettier.
