Your Hosts:
When Liz and John
Turnbull moved to their property 8 years ago,
the sheep had to move out before they could move
in. Over a six month period they lovingly
restored the building and it was their home
before building their house on the same property
that they now live in. The woolshed conversion
was not their first project, Liz and John have
previously been involved in a large 5 star
Relais & Chateaux hotel development in Ireland.
They also ran an accommodation business in the
Czech Republic. Liz has 16 years of experience
in hospitality and tourism and has now returned
to painting.
The Turnbulls moved to the woolshed because they
fell in the love with the character of the
building and the rural and sea views. They would
like to share this with their guests.
