Burley is a perfect location for exploring the beautiful New Forest and fabulous beaches, which are only a short drive away.

Forest trails are only minutes from the cottage taking you on a journey through ancient woodlands, past ponds where ponies gather, through idyllic glades and across the open heaths. There is much to explore and admire here.

The village has several traditional pubs and tea rooms, a cider farm, fine dining restaurant and spa treatment rooms, village store, bike hire, riding stable, golf course and fishing lake, along with an array of other quaint shops, all within walking distance.

The market town of Ringwood with its many pubs and eateries is a short drive away, along with tree top trails and lake based water activities.

Lovely quiet location
The cottage was absolutely perfect as a base for walks in the New Forest. The host was helpful with information. The bed was comfy, bath was glorious and there wasn’t one thing we would have changed or had any difficulty with. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, private, luxurious getaway in the New Forest!

Lovely cottage in quiet location
We enjoyed our stay in Keepers cottage. It was very comfortable and spacious for the 2 of us. The setting was gorgeous but unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side on this occasion so we will have to return to explore some more 😀

About the host

Hosted by Nicole

Host profile image
We moved to Burley 25 years ago and fell in love with the unique beauty of the area and New Forest life style, which coupled with the close proximity to some of the best beaches and coastline the South coast has to offer makes it the perfect location for relaxation and recreational pursuits.
It was the most wonderful area in which to bring up our daughter and we feel very spolit to have lived in such a superb location yet less than 2 hours from London.

Why they chose this property

Keepers Cottage was originally built at the turn of the last century for the housekeeper of Shappen House. When an opportunity arose to purchase the cottage we were wowed by its superb location, central to the village yet tucked away from the everyday hustle and bustle, so peaceful but not remote. We were lucky enough to secure the neighbouring Gardeners cottage too and so set about restoring the cottage to a wonderful Forest home for family and guests to experience the lifestyle we have so enjoyed.
