The house was clean, well stocked, and comfortable. We were able to log on to our streaming apps on the downstairs TV, and WiFi was excellent. Loved the additions for children - the stairgate is such a clever idea and we needed it for our toddler....

Helmsdale is a warm and welcoming cottage in the heart of Burley village, ideal for families seeking a peaceful New Forest retreat. With three comfortable bedrooms — two with king-size beds and one with twin beds (convertible to a super-king) — this home comfortably sleeps six. Guests enjoy a spacious lounge, a fully equipped country kitchen, a large dining area, and a private garden. The modern bathroom includes both a bath and walk-in shower. The property’s forest-facing setting and charming garden make it a true escape into nature. Two small or one medium well behaved dog allowed at a extra cost of thirty pounds per booking .
I’m Diane, and I’ve loved the New Forest since childhood. After spending over forty years visiting this area with my family, it has been a dream come true to offer Helmsdale to guests who want to experience the magic of Burley. I’ve carefully updated this cottage to create a space that feels like home — calm, comfortable and well-located. I’m always on hand if needed and enjoy helping guests make the most of their time in the forest.
Burley is one of the New Forest’s most picturesque villages, known for its forest ponies, thatched tea rooms and traditional charm. From your doorstep, explore scenic woodland walks, cycle paths, or take a short stroll into the village centre where you’ll find quaint shops, the famous Cider Pantry, local pubs, and the Burley Fudge Shop. Wildlife is abundant, and guests often spot ponies and pigs nearby. The village is peaceful yet well connected, with easy access by car to beaches, Brockenhurst station (20 minutes), and other New Forest highlights.
