Lose yourselves in the magnificent New Forest when you book a stay at this holiday home at Burley in Hampshire. The delightful village, which has pubs, cafes and independent shops, is known for its roaming ponies and cattle. Welcoming six guests in three bedrooms, the single-storey cottage is ideal for long leafy walks and cycle rides, as well as days out to the coast and even trips over to the Isle of Wight.
Drive into this property over a cattle-grid which keeps the ponies out. Step in and follow the hall, where there is a ground-floor WC, into the bright, modern kitchen. Prepare meals for your party here and then serve them up in the open-plan lounge/diner, where there are doors on to the garden. Relax on the sofa to watch the Smart TV. The family bathroom, with shower over the bath, and all the bedrooms are off the hallway. There is a bunk room with small doubles, plus two king-size rooms, one with an en-suite shower room. Relax out in the lawned garden on warm days or wander straight out into the forest from the property. Find ample parking for several cars on the driveway.
Lace up your walking boots and find myriad routes, including the Burley Trail, through the woodland and heathland. Hire bikes, take a wagon ride or go on a deer safari. Visit Milford on Sea, 10 miles away, to picnic on the beach and swim in the sea. Enjoy the views over to the Isle of Wight. Have a day out to Bournemouth, 14 miles away, or catch the ferry over to the Isle of Wight from Lymington, 10 miles away.
