Reviews
We stayed in the Turnip Barn for my daughters graduation in Durham. It is a beautiful , spacious character barn conversion. Furnished and equipped to a very high standard. All 3 bedrooms are good sizes with smart ensuites. Chris the owner is very generous and helpful including a welcoming bottle of Prosecco. The views are splendid and there are great walks on the doorstep which we all, including our dog, enjoyed and it only takes just under 10 minutes to drive into Durham. Definitely recommend this property.
As we where bringing our sons and there girlfriends with us from Canada we needed a place with space , bedrooms with en suites well stocked kitchen etc .. This beautiful barn conversion ticked all the boxes and more . Will be recommending it to all out friends in Canada if they ever visit the North East of England Great hub for every location I guarantee you won't be disappointed Chris & Jools Morrell
The barn has been renovated to the highest standard. Everything you could possible need is there and it is very well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. It was immaculately clean on arrival. There are two pubs within a 10 minute walk and lovely countryside walks. We would definitely return in the future!
