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.

Beautiful Gardens

The house was absolutely gorgeous! We enjoyed our stay a lot. The furniture was very beautiful. And everything was nice and clean. The kitchen is spacy and has all you need for cooking and baking. The location was very handy for us as well. We spend most of our days on walks around the area and didn't have to drive much. The garden is also a must to check out and a peaceful place to admire nature, watch the stars or read a book. Overall very relaxing. The owners are also very nice and supported with information. Our dog lived the holiday as well. There are plenty of areas around the property to take a dog out for walks.

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.

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.

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.
