Tucked away in the enchanting village of Burley this charming semi-detached New Forest cottage is ideal for a family holiday in the New Forest. The cottage comfortably sleeps 7 with versatile accommodation including four pretty bedrooms and a large lounge. Oak Tree will take 1 dog.
Situated on a quiet private lane, where you are more likely to see horses than cars, walk out of the front gate and down the road to the village centre of Burley with plenty of quirky, trinket shops. The village is famous for witches, with one of the shops named 'A Coven of Witches' named by Sybil Leek, The White Witch. The village also has a number of pubs and cafes.
If you are keen cyclists, bring your bikes or hire them from the village centre. Burley is a great location to start your days cycling with many routes starting nearby. Burley Manor Riding Stables can be found at the end of the lane offering riding for all abilities.
The cottage is right in the heart of the New Forest National Park, with direct forest access just at the end of the lane therefore you are often likely to see ponies, cattle and donkeys wandering past so please don't forget to shut the gate!
Please note that access to Oak Tree Cottage is via an unmade gravel track. Please drive carefully as there may be potholes.
A small front garden with pathway leading down the side of the house to the rear enclosed garden with lawn and shrubbery. There is a small patio with garden table and chairs, perfect for al fresco dining. Charcoal barbecue available.

Witches, Smuggling and Dragons
Witches, smuggling and dragons are part of burley's unique character. During the late 1950's a famous 'White' witch named Sybil Leek lived here. She was often seen walking around the village in a long, black cloak with her pet jackdaw resting on her shoulder. Unfortunately, because her attire fitted the image of a wicked 'black' witch, the locals were upset by her presence and she decided to live in America where she continued writing many books on the occult and astrology, including "Diary of a Witch". One of the gift shops was named by her and has her picture hanging by the old Jacobean fireplace inside.
