Another absolutely sublime week in Burley
If you love long walks, great pubs within walking distance (highly recommend the White Buck btw,) awesome food, great beer and lots peace and tranquility, this cottage is perfect for you. As always (this was our 4th visit,) the cottage is absolutely spotlessly clean, well equipped with every piece kitchen equipment you need, TVs in every room with full access to Netflix / Freeview as well as games etc. for rainy days. The secure garden is perfect for dogs and of course you have the forest on your doorstep with miles and miles of great walks. Highly recommended and definitely AAAAA+++++++ but please leave the first week in May for us. Thanks in advance.

One to come back to
A lovely feeling as soon as you walk in the door. A very welcoming, comfortable and pristine house. Great, secure garden and a perfect location, 5 minutes walk from Burley village where you’ll find a lovely village store, pubs, gift shops and cafes. Great for forest walks. Our Springer had a permanent grin on during our stay!

Burley Croft
Very impressed by property. Kitchen well supplied with everything we needed to prepare meals. Location is great within walking distance to Burley, local pubs and shops. Woods nearby for walking the dog. Ponies and donkeys were amazing just wandering wherever they felt like. Would highly recommend to friends and family. Best cottage we have ever stayed in.

My parents moved to the New Forest in the 1970s and we have seen three generations enjoy the outdoors, the Forest and all the activities. it’s great for adults and kids alike. Great access to trails and beaches for walking, Cycling and horse riding. Plenty to eat and drink and if you get the chance, visit the New Forest show or support a local event whilst you are in the area.
