Lovely short break
A perfect little stay in a great area. The cottage was even better than described and was the perfect place to celebrate a big birthday. Contact from the owner and also the company they use to look after the cottage was excellent. The cottage was clean and well equipped and had everything we could think for our stay for 4 adults and our dog. The location is prefect and the area is quiet and close to everything we needed. We would definitely look to come and stay again. Many thanks

Great house and fab location, loved the cows and horses walking by the front door! Only a quick stroll to the village. Would also recommend the cycle hire shop and great local bike trail to the Deer Sanctuary. Queens Head is a great pub with good food.

Another absolutely sublime week in Burley
If you love long walks, great pubs within walking distance (highly recommend the White Buck btw,) awesome food, great beer and lots peace and tranquility, this cottage is perfect for you. As always (this was our 4th visit,) the cottage is absolutely spotlessly clean, well equipped with every piece kitchen equipment you need, TVs in every room with full access to Netflix / Freeview as well as games etc. for rainy days. The secure garden is perfect for dogs and of course you have the forest on your doorstep with miles and miles of great walks. Highly recommended and definitely AAAAA+++++++ but please leave the first week in May for us. Thanks in advance.

A lovely feeling as soon as you walk in the door. A very welcoming, comfortable and pristine house. Great, secure garden and a perfect location, 5 minutes walk from Burley village where you’ll find a lovely village store, pubs, gift shops and cafes. Great for forest walks. Our Springer had a permanent grin on during our stay!
