The accommodation is full of character yet modern, with low beams in the original part of the house, and has two wood burners for the cold winter nights.

The garden is mainly laid to lawn, and is private and well maintained.

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, 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 newly refurbished Royal Oak pub, providing home cooked food and local ales and the Gorley Tea Rooms, open from Easter until October during the daytime (Mon-Sat). On Thursday, Friday & Saturday evenings and Sunday lunchtime the tea rooms becomes home to the Little Mere Restaurant which offers fine dining and is open all year round. The village is often frequented by groups of New Forest Ponies, cattle and donkeys that inhabit the Forest.

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. 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.

“Fabulous !” A beautiful cottage that looks exactly as it does in the photos, complete with pony on the front lawn. A magical place to stay, the owners were so welcoming. The pub next door was an added bonus, lovely food and real ale. We spent a lovely New Year with friends and family in the perfect place.

“amazing amazing amazing” My family and i recently booked and stayed at abberley house for the weekend, and never wanted to leave. The cottage is beautiful and felt instantly like home. Log fires, lovely walks and everything you could possibly need. We booked in at the local recomended restaurant 'little mere' on the saturday, the food was outstanding and service was great. We had young children and were catered for and welcomed very well. We would go back in a heartbeat and intend on making it our regular get away.

“Perfect New Forest retreat” The cottage is stunning & beautifully renovated. The setting (with ponies running around in front of the house) is idyllic & the food at the pub next door is fantastic. The owners were incredibly friendly, which immediately relaxed us into a great weekend, & the cottage couldn't have been cleaner. We'd definitely come back.

“First class accommodation and location” From beginning to end the welcome was warm, professional and friendly The property was decorated to the highest standard and had everything to cater for our very demanding family needs. The location is very rural where you can relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the New Forest and yet is only 30 minutes from the coast and popular resorts. There is even an excellent pub next door. The children liked the frequent visit from the wandering herds of new forest ponies and donkeys that called at the cottage each day. The most disappointing part was to leave this idyllic cottage and the new forest at the end of our superb holiday
