Turnip House Reviews

Brittany
We loved our stay, the perfect home away from home. We also really appreciated the festive decorations you went to the effort of putting up throughout the house, definitely made our stay more special and cosy would absolutely come back again!
A completely faultless trip we had soooo much fun. The house was bigger and better than I had imagined, it was so warm and cozy, rooms were a good size and very clean, lounge was large and great for evenings with a big group. The christmas trees and decorations were a lovely touch for the christmas period too. The pool is an absolute must it was private, spacious, great music and lights too, we just had the best time in there. We also loved the quirk of the farm animals and the go karts. In short there's so much to do at this place and myself and my friends had the best weekend and will definitley be coming back.
I do not even know where to start! We had the nicest Christmas away, we even brought our parrot and dog with us, they loved it as much as us! The games rooms were brilliant, the kids loved it nearly as much as us adults
George
It was a lovely property, very comfortable and inviting. The facilities were great and had everything we could have needed, didnt end up using half of the utility things we brought like cloths and cleaning sprays. The oven could have done with a clean as whoever used it last had some overspill that was baked to the bottom and burnt when we used it causing a lot of smoke, had to cook with the extractor on full and doors and windows open. Also the oven didnt cook things fast and could do with a new one. The extra game facilities were very fun and well equipped, we would have liked some outdoor lighting as we visited during the winter months and getting to the other buildings we had to use torches to avoid tripping on the cobbles and manoeuvering cars in that dark was extremely difficult. Our main concern with this property would be the roads on approach as they were single lane and not in great condition, we took to going very slowly as some of the bumps and pot holes were causing our cars to bottom out if we were not careful and on the way back we did have a car die and are not sure if the brutal roads contributed to that however there issues were not the fault of the house just a little warning to others. In summary though we had a wonderful time and would consider visiting again.
ONLY DOWNSIDE WAS THE AMOUNT OF FLIES
Mahfuzul
Amazing location and scenery. Cosy yet spacious. Just the getaway we wanted.
Sara was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area giving us guidance about the best cycle routes The pool was a great additional feature for our weekend despite the additional cost. Thank you
Beautiful house in lovely surroundings, great facilities.
Very thoughtful things left around like items for the dog, lots of games for outdoors.
Louise
Beautiful and quirky property. Bedding good quality, singles and king fine sizing wise but double definitely a small and not great for a couple. Showers adequate, did not use the bath. Owners and facilities were great, kids loved the freedom of going from the court, to the games rooms. Pool nice but expensive. Overall a beautiful setting with great facilities for the kids and we enjoyed our stay.
Turnip House was terrific and very cosy, warm and comfortable and well equipped it was like going in to someone's house rather than a holiday let. Dogs were made very welcome. Anything that went wrong toaster or we that needed ice was attended to immediately. There was plenty of fridge space. The spa was great and walks round the farm etc were good and tennis court although we didn't have time to use it. There was lots of information about walks in the area. Good location. Ice trays could be provided in the freezer to avoid the necessity to ask for ice. G&T's are not the same without ice! The mattresses on the single beds were quite soft I don't know about the double beds. Personally I have a bad back and prefer a firm mattress which are much more comfortable. But otherwise fabulous!
Philip
My family of 5 had the most wonderful stay. A beautiful house, with every amenity you could wish for. The owners were super attentive. We had a small issue which was resolved within minutes. We did not want to go home. We would highly recommend this place for a minimum of a long weekend, or like us a week. We wish we could have stayed for 2. Fantastic place.
A great place to spend time with a family of different ages. Lots to do with 2 games rooms ,tennis court, go carts and the most amazing swimming pool.The house itself was full of games and books for all ages . Our grandchildren of 8,15 and 18 years were never bored . Sara the owner was most helpful.
Fabulous property, on-site facilities and welcoming hosts.
Great rural location within easy reach of Ludlow, Bridgenorth and Shrewsbury. Turnip House sits within a working family farm and appealed to all ages, our party of 10 adults, 1 child and 2 babies ranged in age from 3 months to 60years. We took our two dogs and they were made very welcome too. The property was spacious, cosy and very well equipped. We made good use of the go-carts and tennis court, the games room was great for late night competitions. We stayed at Turnip House during lambing time on the farm, it was wonderful to witness the birth of new lambs and my husband helped to deliver two with owner Sara, a memory to treasure. We pre- booked a food delivery prior to our arrival and this helped us enormously with a large crowd of 10 plus. We also booked Spinney Retreat as an overflow for our party and this worked brilliantly as the properties were just 5 mins walk apart. A really great property that I'd highly recommend.
Fantastic family holiday on the farm with a little luxury thrown in.
I have just spent an amazing week here with my family. My 2 and 4 year old grandsons were kept busy and adored every minute. The owner Sarah has really thought the cottages through for all members of the family. Fresh flowers were on the tables when we arrived, there was a toy chest in the lounge for the children, with a new tractor and trailer which went down very well with the boys. The go carts and tractors were also a big hit in the tennis area, as were the tennis courts. The games room was also utilised well especially the table tennis and pool tables. For me it was the ample space available, sometimes photographs can be deceptive but not here there was more than enough space for all of us to be comfortable. One of the best things was the amount of crockery available especially mugs, It meant that we didn't have to put the dishwasher on every five minutes or be washing up! There is also a fridge freezer as well as a larder fridge which were able to accommodate the food from the internet shop. It was lambing season when we were there and in the afternoon when most of the farm duties were finished we were able to go into the barn. This was special for the boys who got to see a lamb being born and were able to feed the lambs that needed to be bottle fed. They got to feed the pigs and hens everyday, and collect eggs when available. We did cheat though and had eggs in our pockets just in case they had already been collected . There are lovely walks around the farm and maps are provided in the information pack. There is a pool and gym that can be hired private at an additional cost. The pool area was like a private spa and was a lovely end to our holiday. The wifi in the cottage was excellent which is good as between us we had several phone networks and not all of them worked. I was able to use wifi calling when I didn't have reception. I would definitely stay here again
Turnip Barn was a fantastic base for our mixed group ranging from 13 to 77 plus two dogs. We enjoyed all the facilities, particularly the tennis court and games room, and there were numerous lovely walks from the door. The standard of the accommodation was excellent - we particularly enjoyed a glass of wine or two on the terraces each evening looking at the lovely sunsets. There is lots to do in the area, all within a short drive. It was very difficult to leave. Thanks to the owners for thinking of everything.
We couldn't fault anything ! Ideal location with facilities for all ages and spacious accommodation. Wish we could have stayed all summer. Will definitely be booking again!
Everything in Turnip House was lovely and the property was equipped with everything we needed.
We loved Turnip House. It was spacious, comfortable and perfect for a family party of three generations. There was something for everyone. The location was wonderful too. Being on a farm we were expecting lots of restrictions but apart from having to keep the dog on his lead, as it was lambing time, we were free too make use of all the facilities. The grandchildren loved it. The family who own the farm couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. Would definitely return.
What an absolutely amazing place. The owners were fantastic and allowed open access to their superb farm. The accommodation was of a very high standard, with every potential need covered. The facilities overall are excellent and certainly far superior than in any other cottages we have stayed at. We definitely plan on returning.
Everything was supplied in the cottage, it was warm clean and very comfortable. Our second and not the last visit we hope.
This was a fantastic property which catered for your every need. The property was set in beautiful surroundings and had pigs, chickens and a pony which the children adored. Also there were go-karts and two games rooms which the older children enjoyed. So a fantastic find!
This is a hidden gem. A wonderful peaceful location set on a working farm. We were accompanied by our daughter, her partner and our two grandchildren, aged 1 and 2 years, they thoroughly enjoyed seeing the animals and the various play activities. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners and the local information supplied was excellent.
The accommodations here were perfect. Everything we could possibly need was there for our use. We will definitely be back and will recommend to any other friends/family visiting the area.
The sitting room is amazing, with a wonderful view of the hills, a cosy wood burner, squishy sofas and a double height ceiling. Our family loved it.
Comfortable and well-equipped. The house was an ideal place for touring the area, there were many fabulous walks, places of interest and small towns within easy reach - something for everyone.
It was a fantastic venue for a complete family holiday. Caters for infants to elderly. Everything you could want - games, sit and ride toys for all ages. My 20 month old granddaughter loved the cars and grandad loved the go-carts and tractors. Everything you need in the cottage - infant toys, board games, books, crayons and cuddly toys. Games room with table-tennis and billiards so ideal also for teenagers.
Fantastic Stay in a Great Place
We were a party of 10 guys staying here - and in the connected Corn House - for a walking weekend. The properties are of a very high standard, very comfortable and in a great location. The owners of the farm are lovely and their two recommendations were great: 1. The local pub in Cardington, which does great food and beer 2. The caterers who they helped me to arrange to come in to cook a 3 course meal on Saturdya night after a long day of walking were superb. We had a delcicious meal and then all fell asleep in front of a lovely hot wood burning stove in one of the sitting rooms. To Howard and Sarah, the farm owners, thank so much from all of us! Ian
The cottage was excellent, thank you, and we enjoyed our stay. We did not need all the facilities available but we enjoyed the views and walks. It was an excellent spot for our planned visits in the area; we hope to come again.
Location is beautiful. Lots to do for all ages and plenty of space for different ages to spread out. Friendly owner family.
Great location and facilities in the cottage were excellent.
We have enjoyed a wonderful weekend at Turnip House. We went with our two children, their partners and our grandchildren. The house is perfect for families. The owners have clearly thought of everything you could possibly want and need. We will certainly return.
Wonderful facilities, beautiful accommodation, friendly owners. One of our best ever holidays.
Away-from-it-all location, nice open views from spacious and sunny sitting room, and cosy when the wood burner lit The house had a very nice flow, particularly liked the kitchen, dining space, and my bed was very comfortable. Kitchen about the best equipped we have ever had! Good extra facilities - the go carts, table tennis and toys for youngsters. No meanness on the toilet roll front!
Excellent surroundings and facilities. Nothing was too much trouble, a very enjoyable time was had by all.
Turnip House was furnished to a very high standard with everything you would ever require. The owners were extremely helpful. The property and surrounding area are stunning. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a truly relaxing holiday in a stunning location.
The house was well equipped and warm.
Everything! The position of the house, the beautiful area, lots of things to do on the farm and all the games equipment. It was particularly good for the children aged 4 and 6, they had a whale of a time. We have booked again to go in November 2013!
This property did exactly what it said on the box, and more.
Good facilities for a range of age groups. Family friendly and welcoming. There was a lot to do without leaving the property. Good in all weathers.
