Delightful stay
We had a wonderful few days in this very clean, well equiped and comfortable flat attached to the hosts' house. The host (Philip) was delightful, explained various aspects and that we were welcome to explore the extensive garden, and was on hand if we needed anything.

Lovely stay
Had a lovely short break, in this very pleasant accommodation. Location is perfect for walks and discovering The New Forest. The owners were always on hand for any requests or advice and made us feel welcome. Very much enjoyed staying in this older property with character and beautiful garden. We hope to return again in the near future.

Lovely property in a fabulous location
Despite the horrendous rain we had a lovely time. I can see the garden will be beautiful in a few month - it was just starting to bud while we were there. The short walk to the pub was enjoyable (bring a torch), and Burley village is very friendly.

Beautiful location, so near New Forrest walking paths. The apparent is cosy and very inviting, the owner who lives on site couldn’t be more helpful. The gardens around the house are beautiful and so peaceful, we will definitely go back

Super property
We stopped for a week at the end of May and felt relaxed and at home from the very first minute. The apartment was immaculately clean and comfortable, the shower (which hasn't been mentioned much in other reviews) was superb and the gardens were a delight. The hosts were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. All parts of The New Forest and coast were easily accessible. We would certainly be happy to recommend here to others and look forward ourselves to returning in the future.

Warm, spacious and comfortable
A very nice apartment. The wing of an 18th century Manor house with a beautiful garden. Large and comfortable. Very quiet location but convenient for new forest sights and coast. Everything provided but shower gel, salt, pepper and cooking oil would have been welcome.

Great Christmas stay
We stayed here for 5 nights over the Christmas period including Christmas Day. We were very pleased with the accommodation - very spacious, quiet and lovely and warm! The host, Philip, was very friendly but not intrusive in any way. The location is perfect for exploring the villages in the forest and for forest walks. Parking is right outside the door so very easy to unload the luggage. We hope to revisit at some point as we had a great time. Thank you, Philip.
