Berryl Farm Cottages comprises four stone cottages set in an idyllic rural location in the midst of secluded South Isle of Wight countryside, two miles from the coast and 5 minutes walk from the village pub. The cottages are currently a very lucrative holiday rental business as well as one cottage being the vendors own home, which is also occasionally rented out.

Berryl Farm Cottages - Originally the workers cottages for the main farmhouse and land, this row of four picture perfect stone cottages date from the the 18th century. Renovated and improved through a labour of love, these dwellings have kept the charm and character of the time but with all modern conveniences. Throughout the properties there are characteristics of the time, thick walls that give deep window seats in some bedrooms, stripped floors, original or replica internal doors with latch fixings, exposed stone and brick feature walls and log burners.
All rooms are bright and beautifully decorated. The kitchens and bathrooms are all modern with an additional shower and laundry room added to the main house. The decor is in a stylish, contemporary cottage style and is the vision of the current owners who have produced a perfect rural retreat set within glorious countryside.
The business has many return visitors year after year and is advertised as dog friendly, adult and a self contained holiday home. Income figures are available on request.
