About the home

Couples retreat!

The Lodge@Abberley House is a detatched unit located at the rear of a beautiful thatch cottage and has it's own private area of the garden for you to enjoy with patio furniture and a barbeque. There is parking within the garden providing easy access to the Lodge (please note access to the driveway is narrow and will not suit all vehicles).

The village of North Gorley, Hampshire, is within the New Forest National Park and is just over 2 miles from the historical market town of Fordingbridge. It is home to the Royal Oak pub, providing home cooked food daily and the Gorley Tea Rooms, open from Easter until October during the daytime (Mon-Sat). On Thursday, Friday & Saturday evenings the tea room becomes home to the Little Mere Restaurant which offers fine dining and is open all year round.

The New Forest itself has lots to explore and is easily accessible to walkers and bikers. It has an abundance of charming pubs and provides a great backdrop for those who love the outdoors. Within easy driving distance is the Cathedral City of Salisbury in Wiltshire (13 Miles) and the coastal town of Bournemouth in Dorset (15.5) with its 7 mile stretch of golden sand beaches and vibrant night life.

The Central Southern England / Hampshire region

As well as the New Forest within Hampshire you will find the cities of Southampton (26 miles) and Winchester (33 miles), the latter was the ancient capital of the Kingdom of England.

In Wilshire to the north, is the Cathedral City of Salisbury (13 miles) and the ancient monument of Stonehenge (23 miles)

In Dorset to the south, visit the harbour town of Christchurch (14 miles).  You can take a trip across the harbour to Hengistbury Head, great for walks, with magnificent views across Christchuch and Poole Bays. Bournemouth  coastal resort (15.5 miles) provides a whole host of attractions for young and old with golden sands for sunbathing and from Poole Quay (20 miles) you can visit the beautiful Brownsea Island. Take the ferry from Sandbanks to Studland where you can explore the Isle of Purbeck and take in Swanage, the gateway to the Jurassic Coast, Corfe Castle, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door.

The New Forest / North Gorley area

The Village of North Gorley is in the Parish of Hyde and lies within the New Forest Boundary.  It is just over 2 miles to the town of Fordingbridge to the North and the historic market town of Ringwood lies under 5 miles to the South.

The village is home to The Royal Oak public house, which was once used as a hunting lodge as well as the Little Mere Restaurant and Gorley Tea rooms which are well worth a visit. The award winning restaurant The Three Lions in Stuckton is also minutes away.

There are a couple of horse riding schools, as well as places to hire bikes to explore the Forest located nearby.

There is plenty to explore locally - on Gorley Common at the top of Buddle Hill it is not uncommon to see deer grazing. Within a mile is the New Forest Water Park and 4 miles away is the Ringwood Town and Country Experience, a museum which is home to vintage cars and motorcycles, as well as exhibitions and a full size railway station. See what life was like in Roman Briton by visiting Rockbourne Roman Villa in the village of Rockbourne which is 5½ miles away.

A little further afield, but within the New Forest are the towns of Burley (10 miles) and the "Capital" of the Forest since the time of William the Conqueror, Lyndhurst (14 miles). Beaulieu, with it's famous Motor Museum, Palace House and Historic Abbey, is just over 20 miles away and 2½ miles to the south of Beaulieu is Buckler's Hard, a Maritime Museum on the banks of the Beaulieu river which was the birthplace to many of Admiral Nelson's Naval fleet.

“Clean, modern, home from home and so peaceful, great location.” We enjoyed our 10th Wedding Anniversary at The Lodge, such a lovely location and a breath of fresh air away from smokey London. Great host, great lodge, great weekend break. New Forest right on the doorstep as well.

“Lovely space, lovely property to explore the New Forest.” We had an amazing week in this beautiful part of England. You can use the well-equipped, modern kitchen and facilities (lovely outdoor barbeque area and garden) or visit the nearby pubs which serve food. Very convenient for all areas of the New Forest but maintaining a peaceful position where you can chill or explore.

“The retreat of the New Forest” Have already recommended The Lodge at Abberley House to several friends and members of family. There are brilliant walks straight from cottage. The location is peaceful and rural away from the busier areas of the forest.
