A picture-perfect village with free-roaming ponies, donkeys and quant cafés, the New Forest village of Burley is surrounded by beautiful walks and cycle rides. It also has another great asset in the historic (and rather lovely) Burley Manor.

A country house spa hotel and wedding venue with 40 stylish, individually-designed rooms, Burley Manor is set within a stunning eight-hundred-year-old estate. Inside, the grand baronial-style manor house, guests can take afternoon tea in true luxe country manor style, or dine stylishly in the light-filled restaurant, choosing from a contemporary, Mediterranean-influenced menu featuring local and seasonal ingredients.

There’s plenty of places to relax here too, from a stroll in Burley Manor’s beautiful grounds to a massage in the spa treatment rooms or a splash in the dip-worthy outdoor pool in the summer months.

Romantic breaks, dog-friendly getaways and cycling breaks are also catered for, along with special events, from yoga retreats to Christmas feasting with family and friends.

Wedding planning? Burley Manor hosts stylish ceremonies in a rustic barn with ever-green flower display, twinkling lights and exposed beams, all set against the stunning, unforgettable backdrop of the beautiful deer park.
