Gardener's Retreat is less than a two-hour drive from central London, yet a peaceful world away from the stress of city life. Set back from a quiet lane with a large, private garden, it is only a 300-metre walk from the centre of Burley village and the popular Burley Inn. Recently renovated, it sleeps six guests in three bedrooms and is ideal for families. The owner has two other properties nearby which, when hired together, can sleep up to fourteen people to offer the perfect solution to holidaying with your extended family or friends.
The New Forest National Park is like something from an Enid Blyton book. Thatched cottages, forests with towering ancient trees, beautiful beaches and charming villages connected by miles of footpaths, cycling routes and bridleways. The pace of life slows here in the nicest possible way, giving you time to enjoy a pint or two of locally brewed beer or cider and a home cooked meal at a country pub. Burley has three pubs, including the 16th Century Queen’s Head that was a favourite with smugglers and highwaymen. These days, the only thing likely to hold you up on the road is one of Burley's free-roaming New Forest ponies, or possibly the horse-drawn wagon that takes visitors around the village.
Burley is ideal if you like being active as there is a challenging nine hole golf course, cycle hire, coarse fishing, and the chance to go on a deer safari in Burley Park. There are countless fantastic activities in the New Forest, whatever the weather. Get outdoors and see the Rufus Stone, go to Lepe Country Park or Moors Valley Country Park, try a high-rope course or go canoeing or water skiing, or walk along the forty miles of coastline and enjoy the views over the Solent to the Isle of Wight.
If it is raining, head indoors to Beaulieu National Motor Museum, Ringwood Brewery or Hurst Castle. Visit the New Forest Centre in Lyndhurst and find out more about the people and history of the area, or head to the pretty Georgian market town of Lymington with its shops, cafes and art gallery and museum. Buckler’s Hard has an excellent maritime museum; while being on the western side of the New Forest means Burley is close to Bournemouth and Poole.
It does not matter if you are on holiday with just your family or are meeting up with others, the New Forest offers a wealth of fun for everyone.
