Exceptionally clean cottage in the heart of the New Forest
When we first arrived at this cottage, we couldn't believe our eyes. It is a large house but with a cosy cottage feel and is so clean. Upon arrival we found that milk and a bottle of wine had been left in the fridge for us which was a lovely surprise. The house was extremely warm and this was without using the log burner. Everything had been decorated to a high standard and it was a pleasure staying here. Burley itself is a quaint little village with a couple of pubs, tea rooms and a few shops. It was ideal to use as a base for travelling to the surrounding areas. We enjoyed visiting Lymington and Winchester and we found a lovely garden centre called Haskins that had a fabulous cafe and so many Christmas decorations to choose from. Worth a visit if the weather is not too good and is also dog-friendly. After visiting the garden centre, we took a trip to the beach at Branksome Chine. The beach is fine sand and our dog absolutely loved running on it. She was exhausted most nights which is always a good sign. Would definitely stay at this cottage again when we come back to the New Forest!!

Lovely short break
A perfect little stay in a great area. The cottage was even better than described and was the perfect place to celebrate a big birthday. Contact from the owner and also the company they use to look after the cottage was excellent. The cottage was clean and well equipped and had everything we could think for our stay for 4 adults and our dog. The location is prefect and the area is quiet and close to everything we needed. We would definitely look to come and stay again. Many thanks

Great house and fab location, loved the cows and horses walking by the front door! Only a quick stroll to the village. Would also recommend the cycle hire shop and great local bike trail to the Deer Sanctuary. Queens Head is a great pub with good food.

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.
