About this property
Idyllic country cottage, set in fields, close to coastal paths.
Rose Cottage is one of four cottages in a row, part of Berryl Farm Cottages. It is situated 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 dining pub.
This is an original island stone cottage at the end of three adjoining cottages which are several hundred years old. This lovely cottage is tastefully decorated and furnished and includes an entrance conservatory with a full size table tennis table!
Rose Cottage doesn't have a large garden but 3 different, sunny, seating and dining areas and a secure, dog proof, courtyard garden to the rear. We are surrounded by fields and public footpaths so you can walk your dog withing 30 seconds of leaving the front door. There is parking for 2 cars.
There are spectacular views of the downs from all around the cottage, with beautiful sunsets. In the fields are dairy cows, a stream, hawthorn hedges and plenty of wildlife. The cottage is excellently situated for walking, cycling and 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.
Because of it's peaceful location, the house is available to adults and children over the age of 12 and is suited to families with older children and couples and friends wanting to holiday together.
Change over days are flexible and ferry fares are cheaper mid week.

Why they chose this property
We discovered the property on a walk. It's in the middle of fields and reminded us of The Darling Buds of May, just perfic, as Pa Larkin would say! It's set in beautiful peaceful countryside but close to the coastal footpaths and beaches and the quirky seaside town of Ventnor, with the local village pub only a 5 minute walk away. You feel a million miles away from everything, but you're not! You could stay for a week and every day you could walk a different, stunning, footpath walk, straight from the door. Or take a 5 minute drive to reach the stunning Military Road that hugs the South Coast with amazing sea views, one of the most scenic coastal roads in the UK. Stop off at one of the many unspoilt and quiet beaches that you pass on this road, many with national trust car parks to pull up into.
What makes this property unique
Gorgeous, comfortable, homely, stone cottage in a unique location.
