An ideal family getaway to enjoy nature


Escape to a tranquil haven in the New Forest close to Burley village with amenities and pubs. The Stables is on the estate of a Country House accessible via a scenic forest track.

Yet Ringwood is just 3 miles away with all the amenities you may need, like Waitrose, Sainsbury, David Lloyd, and Ringwood Leisure Centre.

Immerse yourself in the nature of the surrounding forest. Deer and horses pass the front gates. There is outdoor seating, a fire pit, an alfresco dining area, and a BBQ within its secluded garden. Perfect for a leisurely evening.

Enjoy the panoramic views from an adjacent field, ideal for family picnics.

On the ground floor, you'll find a spacious kitchen, a cosy living room, and two comfortable bedrooms, with one upstairs and a separate work area. The spacious kitchen boasts a dedicated dining space. It is equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine/tumble dryer, electric kettle, microwave, and fridge/freezer.

Entertainment is at your fingertips with a smart TV and free Netflix. Wi-Fi is provided via fibre with an average speed of 100 Mbps. There's also a selection of books and board games - ideal for quality time with friends and loved ones. The Stables invites you to bring your bikes and explore the nearby forest tracks.

The bedrooms have two double beds and one pair of twin single beds, offering ample space for families. The bathroom features a bath and walk-in shower. There is a separate downstairs cloakroom.

A travel cot and highchair are available on request. We also provide a movable stair gate for downstairs to fit across the kitchen door or the sitting-room door if requested.

Outside is a private fenced garden. There is a covered area for alfresco dining and relaxation around a fire pit and a BBQ. This is not just a holiday for your family as we are pleased to welcome two well-behaved medium-sized dogs (Labrador size) to accompany you. We ask you to keep dogs in the kitchen and not leave them unaccompanied at the Stables. Please exercise your dogs outside the main gates in the forest and clear up any accidental mishaps.

There is an adjacent field by the main gates you can enjoy for picnics and for your children to play. Children should always be supervised, and the field is used at your discretion.

There is ample parking for three cars.

Changeover days are conveniently set on Fridays and Mondays, with flexibility whenever possible.

In response to the ongoing concerns, rest assured that we prioritise your safety with a thorough COVID-19 cleaning regime. Your Cottage undergoes a deep clean before each stay.

What a beautiful house and great location!
We really loved staying at this house. It’s in the perfect location, stepping out straight into the woods. We spotted 4 deer at sunset on one day, and came across many of the wild horses that roam around in the area. Several great walks in nearby woods too. We recommend visiting the Raptor Centre nearby too. The house was perfect for us. Everything you could need. It was clean & tidy. We really appreciated the bottle of Prosecco & a lovely chocolate cake! Anne greeted us and came to say goodbye thank you Anne & family for hosting us :) We hope to return again to explore some more.

Lovely cottages in fabulous forest setting
Anne and Ral are wonderful hosts. We were welcomed with a decadent gift of homemade cakes and a bottle of Prosecco. The location is secluded and magical- great walks from the cottages. We saw a white buck at the front gate.

Lovely, quiet and comfortable
Thanks Anne and Ral What a lovely break for new year in a remote New Forest cottage. Ideal for walks, mountain biking and generally chilling out- cottage is clean, well equipped and comfy. Will defo stay again. Hosts are lovely and left is to it - most helpful was the ability to charge my EV on site as well. We had shocking weather but it didn’t matter - a lovely cottage in a lovely part of the world. The oil heating is robust and we spent most of the time with it off as it gets very warm quickly and we didn’t need it. Highly recommended

Cute cottage
We had a lovely stay here. The hosts were fantastic and communication was great. The house was well stocked for everything we needed. The bed was small for two adults but we knew the size before we arrived. And there were a lot of (harmless) flying bugs around.

Wonderful Location
This was exactly what we had been looking for! Comfortable accommodation with privacy and in a beautiful location. We thoroughly enjoyed our week here, and I think our dog enjoyed it even more. Great walks on the doorstep and a very nice 30 minute walk away from roads down into Burley for nice pubs and cafes. Also recommend a visit to the local store and trying some of the local butchers products. The property was comfortable and clean with a nice outdoor area which we enjoyed. We would definitely recommend a visit :)

Fantastic property in amazing location with lovely owner!
Thank you to Anne the owner, for a fantastic stay in your lovely house, in an amazing location in the woods. The house was very clean and very well maintained, simple check in process and a huge chocolate cake and bottle of fizz welcomed our arrival. It's also a lovely stroll through the woods to the center of Burley with its pubs/restaurants, cafes and well stocked shop. Plus all the shops and supermarkets in nearby Ringwood. A brilliant place to stay and explore the New Forest. Thanks again. Charlotte and family

Wonderful property in a superb location
Had a fantastic two night stay with family. Anne couldn’t have been more helpful with the booking and directions and the cottage itself is beautiful, homely with every comfort you could wish for. The location is stunning, beautifully quiet but not by any means “remote” with walks out on to the Forest straight from the door. Saw numerous wild horses and even a deer joining them in the field. Thank you Anne for making us feel so welcome and also for the cake and wine which we forgot to thank you for at the time! We can’t wait to stay again. Kevin and family.
