Berry Farm Barn

A Beautiful Barn Conversion in South Cerney

Step Inside Berry Farm Barn – A Dreamy Countryside Escape

If you’re looking for a blend of rustic charm and modern chic, Berry Farm Barn is your perfect go-to. This idyllic retreat nestled in the heart of a working farm has been thoughtfully designed with open plan living areas for easy entertaining and cosy nooks for relaxing. No stone has been left unturned in the careful restoration of this historic barn. Exposed honey-coloured stonework and ancient wooden beams are fused with stylish interiors, making it a perfect Cotswold get-away.

A Lasting Legacy

Berry Farm is steeped in history; parts of the stone farmhouse date back to 1580 and the farm has existed since 1856. The restoration of Berry Farm Barn was a labour of love for owner Claire Jarvis whose family have lived and worked on the farm for generations. Claire’s great-grandfather bought the South Cerney-based farm in 1932 for £4,300 and the farm has remained in the family ever since. Today, it’s a busy working farm as well as a wellness centre and popular venue for all kinds of events, from weddings to large family gatherings.

A Blissful Staycation

Relax under the stars with a glass of fizz in the hot tub; curl up in front of a roaring fire with a good book; experience harmony and tranquillity at the farm’s wellness centre – the choice is yours.

Step inside Berry Farm Barn, and you’ll find a beautiful retreat bursting with character and rustic charm. The property can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests, making it an ideal space for milestone celebrations, unforgettable family gatherings or romantic weddings.

Inside there’s plenty of room for socialising with friends or family. Gather in the kitchen for relaxed lunches or be seated at the long dining table for delectable suppers. Cosy up by the wood burner or sink into a super comfy bed or plush sofa.

The master suite has a bedroom bathtub and private bathroom, and there are three further bedrooms as well as a double sofa bed on a mezzanine.

Outside there’s a private patio area with a luxurious hot tub for unwinding, a barbeque for alfresco dining and a fire pit for gathering and sharing stories around.
