About this cottage rental
This is a fantastic, family-friendly home - we lived in it ourselves with increasing numbers of children for the best part of a decade! We do not accept stag or hen party bookings. The cottage contains 7 bedrooms: 1 downstairs ks dbl; 1 upstairs ks dbl shower en suite; 1 upstairs twin bed room; 1 upstairs triple bed room; 1 upstairs twin bed room; 1 upstairs ks dbl;1 downstairs twin/superking. In addition, there are 2 double sofa beds, one in each sitting room. Cots and extra mattresses are also available. In addition to the en suite shower room, there are 2 shared family bath/shower rooms and a further downstairs shower room, plus one additional toilet. The cottage can be partitioned into two halves, with separate kitchens, utility room/cupboard and entrance doors. The main large sitting room contains seating for all, plus several large tables and enough dining chairs for large family meals. There is also enough outdoor seating and tabling to feed the whole party. The main kitchen is very large and also contains its own seating: table for 8 plus 4 bar stools at the breakfast bar. There is an additional smaller dining room, kitchen and sitting room with TV (Free view) & DVD on the ground floor. There is ample parking for cars in 2 parking areas, access is via the gated, secure entrance to the main estate and then along a smaller access road taking you right up next to the cottage. Each kitchen is fully equipped with cooking and serving equipment sufficient for the large numbers that the cottage accommodates. There is a large fridge and freezer, dishwasher, drier, washing machine, gas hob and electric oven, microwave, in each kitchen/utility. One side of the cottage has a fenced patio with outdoor seating and sun shades- this is a glorious sun trap. The front of the cottage has a smaller patio and a garden of approximately half an acre, the boundary of which is marked by fencing and gates. Beyond the garden are private woods to which there is no access. There is access to National Park via a short footpath running through the estate up to Castle Hill Lane, from where you can walk or cycle in any direction along the managed footpaths or across the open forest. The cottage is filled with books for all ages, toys and DVDs for your children. There is a very wide range of baby/child gadgets and furniture, a full list can be provided on request. We have tried to make the bedrooms as flexible as possible. There are 3 fixed king-size beds in total, plus 2 extra king-size sofa beds in the sitting rooms. The triple room can be used as 3 individual singles or a super-king and single. One twin room can be converted to a super king bed and the other twin room has a truckle bed that can be removed and replaced with a cot. There is also room for a travel cot in most of the other bedrooms. Each hot water tank (there are 2) has its own controls and serves baths and showers. This means there is always plenty of hot water for a large party. We can help you organise babysitting, subject to notice and availability of local sitters. Please ask.

The cottage was fantastic and served us well for an extended family of 17. Well equipped kitchen and facilities and a beautiful setting. Great communication and assistance from the host. We were celebrating a 70th birthday and very much enjoyed our time in the New Forest & Bournemouth.

The place we hired for our group of family and friends was way above our expectations. Such a beautiful house and location and Alix and family were really helpful with anything that we needed. The gardens and grounds were stunning and every piece of equipment you need is available in the house.The whole weekend was amazing and helped us celebrate the marriage of our son and his new bride.. Everything was perfect and we hope that will will stay in this house again soon ( who know’s, maybe a christening?!) Thank you for a memorable few days in Burley 😎 John

Turned up to the house and we were totally blown away! What a beautiful setting. Alix was great, told us everything we needed to know before we arrived. The only reason for the 3 stars on cleanliness was because the bathrooms werent as clean as they should have been and the kitchen and floors could have been cleaner along with the house being a bit dusty. We also struggled to get hot water throughout the weekend. However these things did not effect our time away (more for you just to be aware) with family celebrating my husbands 70th birthday and we had the most amazing time and you have a very beautiful cottage. Thankyou 💙

My family spent a wonderful couple days at Christmas in this ideal New Forest getaway. We were a large group of 16 but the house felt really cosy and spacious at the same time. It was our second visit to the property because we were desperate to spend Christmas there. It did not disappoint. Ideally situated, very accomodating and very welcoming host. Wouod love to stay again.

We enjoyed our weekend break with family at this lovely cottage in Burley. It is in a perfect location, just a short walk from the village. Spacious and well equipped for families staying with all the amenities available.
Apart from a few cobwebs here and there, the cottage was rather cosy.
A lovely break in October, saw so much wildlife on our walks around the grounds.
We really enjoyed our stay!

Two night break for family group ages ranging from 2 months to mid 70’s to celebrate a birthday.
Well equipped house with plenty of space. Particularly liked the playroom with toys for the children and plenty of fridges for food and wine. Nice peaceful location.
Sensor light outside front door not working so steps a bit hazardous in the dark.
Would recommend.

As a family we had a lovely few days in the cottage and enjoyed the ample indoor space. As it was very hot the provision of four garden umbrellas and stands was much appreciated as we ate outside most of the time. The two kitchens in the property was really useful too, one for food and one for liquid refreshments! Nice local walks and not too far to the sea.

This is our second stay here and we absolutely love it. Alix is an amazing host and ensured everything was spot in for our arrival. The house is well stocked with everything you could possibly need and much more.
It’s a great location, right in the forest but close to the village amenities and not too far to drive to the beach.
I’m sure we’ll be back!

Property location beautiful. Equipment level superb right down to baby bibs and cutlery to wine glasses as well as champagne glasses, loads of big saucepans and serving dishes for a group, picnic ware for outdoor meals, plenty of bathrooms. Plenty of toys, games, DVD's etc though we were lucky with the weather so were out and about a lot.

Easy access to gated cottages. Very well equipped for Christmas break. We loved the freedom the large property have us and the grandchildren. Very quiet at night except for the owls.
Plenty of games to play, but weather not nice enough to use outdoor facilities.
Owner happy to be contacted to resolve any problems.

Great space for different ages to celebrate together. This was by far the best equipped holiday house kitchen that we have ever come across with all the equipment you could possibly need to feed a large number. Autumn colours were an added bonus that we could not have predicted.

Originally two cottages, but now with substantial extensions. Our party was Covid reduced in number, so we didn't use all the rooms. The large sitting-room and kitchen were good with all the necessary equipment. They would have been fine for a larger party. Upstairs underlines its origins as two cottages, with some small bedrooms and only one en-suite.
Delightful location in woodland, and convenient for walking and the other New Forest activities.

We had a wonderful weekend at Burley Hill Cottage. The property was spotless and well equipped. It is a 10 to 15 minute walk into the village and there are lovely walks all around. We had dinner at the Burley Inn one night and had a delicious Sunday lunch at The Three Tuns in Bransgore which is about 4 miles away. Everyone fully enjoyed their stay.

We had a lovely 3 days in the house. It was fully equipped with everything you could wish for and plenty of toys and DVD's to keep the children amused and a large garden for them to play in. We had a bbq one evening on the large patio and some lovely walks straight from the house in a beautiful part of the New Forest.

A spacious, well-laid out and perfectly located property. Ideal for multi-generational family gatherings. 14 of us stayed here, age range 1-71. We all had a wonderful time and would definitely go back. So practical for large family groups. Owner very communicative in the lead up to the stay and we had no issues at all while we were there.

A great place to stay, the kitchen was exceptionally kitted out with everything you would need as was the bathrooms, towels etc.
Lots to do in the area. We ranged from 1 year old to me (OAP) and found it a very comfortable house. My only concern was check out by 10 am not easy with 10 people not sure how you would managed it 17 people stayed.
