Accommodation Comprises: Spacious rooms filled with character make Turner House the kind of place where memories happen as you're gathered around a long dinner table or settled in front of a crackling fire after hours spent wandering the countryside.

Ground Floor:

Games Room: Cards, board games, or simply good conversation—this dedicated space gives everyone room to spread out and enjoy each other's company without taking over the main living areas.

Kitchen: Every pot, pan, and gadget you might need fills the cabinets and drawers. Whether breakfast involves just coffee and toast or dinner requires multiple courses, the space handles it all. Multiple cooks can work without bumping elbows.

Dining Area: Ten chairs surround a table built for lingering meals and animated discussions. Glass French doors connect the dining space to the terrace, while the BBQ waits outside for evenings when cooking moves outdoors.

Bedroom 2: A queen-size bed anchors this comfortable room, where clean lines and restful colours encourage deep sleep.

Bedroom 3: Twin single beds suit children or give adult friends the option of separate sleeping spaces. Full ensuite.

First Floor:

Vaulted ceilings soar above while oversized windows frame the river beyond in the main lounge. The sofas cluster around a log burner that becomes the heart of evening conversations, and when you need entertainment, the TV stands ready. Natural light floods through those generous windows, keeping the space bright even on overcast days.

Bedroom 1: The primary suite centres around a king-size bed with water views and thoughtful furnishing, creating a genuine retreat including a walk in wardrobe and office. The en-suite has a shower with a generously sized rainfall head, WC, and a hand basin.

Bedroom 4: Two more single beds provide flexibility for families or groups with flexible requirements.

Three further bathrooms mean morning routines never become bottlenecks. Quality toiletries and plush towels take care of the details.

Outside: French doors swing wide to reveal a terrace furnished with comfortable outdoor seating. Morning coffee tastes better here, and evening drinks become occasions when the river views provide the backdrop and you can boost your wellbeing with the hot tub and garden sauna. Turner House sits within gardens that extend your living space into the beautiful riverside setting. Slow breakfasts on the terrace set the tone for the day, while evening gatherings around the fire pit close it. The River Lune flows past in a constant, peaceful motion, offering views that change with the weather and seasons. Children have lots of room to run and play, while adults discover quiet corners for reading or conversation. There is off-street parking for five cars.
