The owners retain a flat and office in the other half of the property which is in use during the day and occasionally for overnight stays if calving/lambing etc. It has a completely separate entrance. The owners' office overlooks the garden but we are very sensitive to people's privacy and the curtains remain drawn! The drive is shared with another holiday cottage. Other things to note The Turkey House is located on a working farm (which is part of its charm!) It has a very peaceful location but you will hear countryside sounds such as the sheep baaing, turkeys chirruping, geese squawking or cows mooing! We do ask that guests and their dogs do not enter the farmyard (other than the parking area) because of the dangers of livestock and tractors in and out, but are very happy to show them around by prior arrangement. There is an additional cleaning charge for pets - £30 per dog, payable direct. Because of the rural and peaceful nature of the location and out of respect to our neighbours, we do ask that guests observe "quiet hours" between 11 pm and 7 am. Your assistance with this is much appreciated. Please note there is only one bathroom (plus a downstairs cloakroom) and NO FULL SHOWER.
