  • "Really enjoyed our stay in September for 3 nights."

    Everything was exactly as described, just wish we had been able to stay longer.

    Ms Gill HardwellSep 2026

  • "Would highly recommend a stay at Turnip Barn."

    Clean and comfortable, with just about everything you could need (limited recycling facilities). The barn has been decorated and planned to a high standard and it was nice to have all en suite facilities as well as a toilet downstairs. Large enclosed garden and outside furniture. Spacious parking. Although a bit out of the way there are two great pubs in the village. in Ealing distance, one offering amazing food offers. Loads of countryside walks, long and short, from the doorstep and both Hadrian's Wall (50min) and the coast (35min) an easy drive away

The city itself offers elegant buildings and fascinating narrow streets with excellent shopping, eating and drinking to suit all tastes. Add to that the ease of access to the rest of this historic county, “Land of the Prince Bishops”, and Durham has much to offer the discerning traveller, from Medieval castles to marvellous landscapes and scenic walks.
