Burley Manor  

Tucked in the heart of Burley in the New Forest, this boutique manor sits amid ancient woods and a neighbouring deer sanctuary. About 10 minutes off the A31 toward Bournemouth and within a short drive of New Forest National Park, Burley Park, Burley Golf Club and New Forest Cider. Pet-friendly and adults-only (13+), perfect for a grown-up country escape.

Recently fully refurbished, the manor pairs country-chic with eccentric touches. Individually designed rooms use strong, nature-inspired colours, antique furniture, bold artwork and interesting fabrics. Expect Hypnos beds for a proper night’s sleep, power showers and deep soaking tubs, designer toiletries, flat-screen TVs, coffee/tea makers and desks. A warm-panelled lobby with a fireplace opens onto a terrace and garden with views of roaming ponies and deer.

Outdoor pool, terrace and garden for lounging. Massage room and on-site spa-style treatments, plus a BBQ area and a tour desk to book New Forest walks. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and free self-parking keep things easy. The hotel also offers wedding services and a friendly bar/lounge with garden views.

Two meeting rooms available and complimentary wireless internet throughout the property. Practical extras include luggage storage, laundry and dry-cleaning services.

Restaurant focused on seasonal, Mediterranean-influenced cooking that leans on a handful of top-quality ingredients and a wood-fired oven. Bar/lounge serves drinks with garden views. English breakfasts are available daily (7:30–10 AM) for a fee, with limited room service hours.
