About this cottage rental

This newly renovated cottage offers high quality self-catering accommodation for couples, families or larger groups of up to 8, 12 or 14 when booked together with other accomodation in this location - please enquire with owner. Short breaks are available but please enquire with owner for rates as I am unable to show some discounts on this new style website.

Burley is a perfect location for exploring the beautiful New Forest, countryside and beaches. Forest trails are only minutes from the cottage taking you on a journey through ancient woodlands, past ponds where ponies gather, through idyllic glades and across the open heaths. There is much to explore and admire here.
The village has several traditional pubs and tea rooms, a cider farm, a Manor Hotel offering fine dining options, village store, bike hire, riding stable, golf course and fishing lake along with an array of other quaint shops, all within walking distance.
The market town of Ringwood with its many pubs and eateries is a short drive away and on its doorstep are tree top trails and water activities.
Take a short drive in any direction and you will discover the Georgian market town of Lymington, with its nature reserve and ferrys to the Isle of Wight; the fabulous coastline and beaches towards Highcliffe Castle; Mudeford with its short ferry journey to the sandspit; Hengistbury Head with its land train; and the Priory town of Chritchurch with its river and boating activities. Alternatively head inland in the other direction along the beautiful Beaulieu river towards Bucklers Hard and Beaulieu with its famous motor museum or visit the stunning Exbury Gardens.
A little further afield are Peppa Pig World and Paulton Park with the Jurassic coast an hours drive away. Also Stonehenge, Stour Head, Longleat and the Cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury.
Bookings high season are weekly Friday to Friday. At other times we offer shorter breaks of Monday to Friday or Friday to Monday, please ask for more details.
Arrival is after 4pm and we ask that you are clear of the property by 10am on the day of departure.

Great little cottage for a group of friends or a family. Ideal area to stay in to visit all areas of the new forrest.

Everything was great. David, the joint owner, was very accommodating. The decoration and furnishings were superb.
8 / 10Excellent·Feb 2024
The stay was generally good. On arrival there were some flowers and a cake for us to enjoy so it got off to a good start.
The house is in a lovely setting, it was clean and there was a manual on how most things worked.
The description mentions underfloor heating in the kitchen but it was off and the floor was incredibly cold in mid-February, so bring slippers in the winter months. There was nothing in the manual about it.
The biggest issue we had was that the temperature adjustment on the shower tap was broken which meant my wife had a scaulding hot shower on the first morning there, the rest of us had to have a bird bath in the sink. We emailed to report it. I had a call from the owner to explain that the tap had been broken for a few weeks and that I could adjust the hot water temperature on the boiler. I did this but it took a few attempts to find the best temperature. Why was the tap not fixed sooner if it had been broken for a few weeks? The key is in a key safe, surely a plumber could have been contracted to fix the tap sooner.
There were only 2 towels for 4 of us to use. We hunted throughout the house for more,
but found none. Again, I emailed about it but had no reply. On returning home we did receive an email to say that we should have phoned instead as there were more towels available in the locked outside shed.
The linen had holes in it, especially along the seams. Although it was clean, this did not give the feeling of luxury linen as per the description.

We stayed for 3 days, Just the two of us plus the dog to get away from the pace of life in London and we couldn’t have been more relaxed, the cottage has everything you could need including the most comfortable beds we’ve ever had in a property. Everything in the cottage was high quality and the cottage itself was cleaned to an immaculate standard , we spent our days wandering around the towns in the new forest and our evenings eating indoors and watching films it was heaven ! My tips would be bring food or have it delivered as there is very little nearby in terms of shops and take a torch as it is very dark on the roads at night in the winter. We would definitely stay again and long to be back there now that we have returned to the hustle and bustle ! Thanks Nicole for everything
