An excellent place to stay in the New Forest. The flat is on 2 floors and has plenty of space and has everything that you could possibly need. The area is very quiet but there is a good pub a stone's throw away. The garden is a lovely place to while away some time after a day out exploring the New Forest, and Philip is a welcoming host, especially if you like cars...

Idyllic Place to Stay

A perfect location in the New Forest, near Burley Village, pubs, golf and walking trails. The flat is fully supplied, clean and very comfortable. The gardens are beautiful and the perfect spot to sit, relax and enjoy the aroma of roses, lavender and wisteria.I would highly recommend and will return in the future.

Great location, great place!

This was the second time we have stayed at Durmast House and we have really enjoyed both visits. The property is very comfortable, warm, quiet and has a lovely, huge garden to explore and enjoy. The owner is very pleasant and helpful. Location-wise, it is perfect for exploring the New Forest and its villages as well as being in easy reach of the coast. We hope to stay here again in the future and that should be recommendation in itself. Thank you Philip for a lovely week.
