Had a wonderful stay. It's our 4th time there. All clean and facilities are great. The matrices are a bit too firm for us but we knew this due to previous stays otherwise all was great.

Thank you for your kind review and it was lovely to welcome you back. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Kind regards Jan
This is my second stay at the property, the check in process was so straightforward. The house is exactly how it looks on the website, there is plenty of space for 4 adults and has a secure garden for our dog. It is lovely to walk into Burley to have a drink and dinner as well as having plenty of different walks on the door step for the dog. Will definitely be booking another stay in the future

About the host
Hosted by Jan
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.
