It is one of the most beautiful villages in the Chilterns and the south of England. Turville is home to the Vicar of Dibley, the BBC sitcom starring Dawn French, as well as films such as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
The Cart Shed, adjacent to the owner’s home, is directly opposite the 12th-century church, and perfect for couples looking for a romantic getaway. Stylishly decorated, its kitchen area is equipped for light meals, is warmed by underfloor heating, offers a large powerful shower, and a comfortable double bed. The village consists of a country pub serving delicious food, local beer and fine wines, and a small village green. Clustered around the green and along the short high street are some of the most attractive period cottages you can imagine; it’s as if you have been transported back several centuries in time.
An aonb, the Chiltern Hills stretch from the River Thames in Oxfordshire to Hitchin in Hertfordshire and are nationally protected as some of the finest countryside in the UK. They are fantastic to explore and are enjoyed by walkers and cyclists all year round. Wildlife and herds of fallow deer are in abundance, and you will frequently see them grazing on your walks, together with red kites soaring above you.
Other places of interest nearby include the picturesque town of Henley-on-Thames, known the world over for its Royal Regatta held in the first week of July, and the festival soon after. Garsington Opera is set on the beautiful Wormsley Estate, 5 minutes up the road, and is something not to be missed. Marlow-on-Thames is only 15 minutes away, providing great restaurants and pretty walks along the Thames. High Wycombe is also 15 minutes away, offering shopping in the Eden Centre and convenient access to central London either by motorway or a regular train service. Bicester village is 35 minutes away with spectacular shopping. Shop 2½ miles, pub and restaurant 175 yards.

Superbly decorated and equipped cosy and quaint unit. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Very close to a really nice pub in the village with very nice food and friendly staff. We had a great weekend here.

This small accommodation is recommended for short stays. For a longer visit, there is a lack of storage space (for clothes, empty suitcases, or groceries). However, anyone with experience using a motorhome will manage perfectly well here. The small village looks just as it did 100 years ago, and you are staying right in the heart of it.
