Idyllic Country cottages
An update on the new venture - Berryl Farm Cottages - a row of 3 stone farm workers cottages set in the midst of an area of outstanding natural beauty, has had a very successful first year with 5 star reviews all round.
Under 3 miles away from the Coastal town of ventnor, in the beautiful village of Whitwell. They are set in an idyllic rural location which is quiet and peaceful in the midst of secluded South Isle of Wight countryside, two miles from the coast and 5 minutes walk from The White Horse Inn, a quality Island dining pub. There are spectacular views of the downs from all around the cottages, with beautiful sunsets. In the fields are dairy cows, a stream, hawthorn hedges and plenty of wildlife. The cottages are excellently situated for walking, cycling, fishing and romantic breaks. There is easy access on to the footpaths directly outside the cottage which join the extensive Stenbury and Worsley trails near Appuldurcombe, or the west wight coastal paths, all providing panoramic views. At close by Nettlecombe Farm (short footpath walk) there are three well stocked fishing lakes (permits available).
A five minute walk leads to historic Whitwell village and dining pub. The White Horse pub is very popular for meals and there is an attractive 700-year old church. Close by is Niton village with post office, food shops and beautiful St Catherine’s Lighthouse. Under ten minutes by car is the pretty Victorian seaside town of Ventnor with its own micro climate offering sandy beaches, sub-tropical botanic gardens and local ale. You can also walk to Ventnor using public footpaths leading straight from the house with spectacular views.
The cottages were restored by National Trust builders and are tastefully decorated and furnished. They each comprise of a kitchen, lounge, bedroom and bathroom.
At both the rear and the front of the cottages are table and chairs to make most of the early morning and evening sun. Breakfast on the rear patio and a glass of wine at sunset at the front of the property. A car may be parked beside the cottages. Please note access to the cottage is over the fields along a well maintained gravel farm track. The village may be accessed back along the farm track or by public footpath taking approx 5 minute.
