These three stone cottages are located in the small village of Berwick St. John, which is tucked into a hollow beneath unspoilt, protected chalk downland on the borders of South West Wiltshire and Dorset. The village and surrounding land have been inhabited since ancient times; Bronze and Iron Age, Roman and Saxon remains have been discovered, and there is an Iron Age fort, Winklebury Camp, on the down above. Present day Berwick remains a small, rural, peaceful village, a wonderful place to relax and unwind.

This corner of Wiltshire offers some of the most unspoilt countryside in the South of England. It is home to rare species of birds, butterflies and plants and is an ideal location for walkers. There is a right of way across the farm and superb walking along the Ox Drove on the downland ridge above. This track eventually leads to the cathedral city of Salisbury, some 16 miles away. From nearby Win Green, the highest point in Wiltshire at 271 metres, there are stunning, far reaching views to the Dorset coast and the Isle of Wight.

Berwick is the last village at the western end of the fertile Chalke Valley, whose chalk stream, the River Ebble, meanders through picturesque villages of stone and thatch, brick and flint and eventually joins the River Avon south of Salisbury. The road through the valley forms part of the Wiltshire Cycleway, storage for bikes being available at the farm. Other outdoor pursuits include golf at nearby Rushmore Park (2 miles away), while both Shaftesbury (6 miles) and Salisbury (17 miles) have sports centres and swimming pools. For smaller children there is a nearby children's playground in the village. Adults might prefer The Talbot Inn, a traditional village pub, just 200 yards from the farm.

Berwick St. John is within easy driving distance of numerous places of interest, including the cathedral city of Salisbury, the Saxon hilltop town of Shaftesbury, Stonehenge, Longleat, Wilton House, Stourhead Gardens, The New Forest and the spectacular South Dorset coast, now designated a World Heritage Site, due to its ancient geological past. London is approx. 2 hours' drive so the cottages are also ideal for out of season weekend breaks.
