A picture-perfect village with free-roaming ponies, donkeys and quaint 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 menu featuring local and seasonal ingredients from the New Forest and surrounding areas.

Take a stroll in Burley Manor’s beautiful grounds or have a splash in the dip-worthy outdoor wellness pool in the summer months. And if you fancy going ‘off-grid’ for your stay (but with full creature comforts), the romantic, Burley Hut shepherd’s hut makes a very attractive alternative accommodation – right in the heart of the Forest.

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 neighbouring deer park.
