    Cottage, cozy and well equipped. Amazing location, so much to see and do even in late November.

    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....

Diane
Helmsdale is a delightful, well-presented and spacious three-bedroom cottage which can comfortably sleep up to six guests, providing the perfect base for your New Forest holiday.
Run by Diane, who has holidayed in the New Forest for over forty years, this charming family cottage is a hidden gem which Diane and her family are pleased to share with other families to enjoy and make memories in this beautiful part of the world.
Situated in the picturesque chocolate-box village of Burley, deep in the heart of the forest, directly opposite Helmsdale are lovely forest walks and you will often see New Forest Ponies roaming freely outside the front gate. Burley is a very popular village with several amenities, including shops, two pubs and one of the best local tea rooms, the Cider Pantry, just down the road, serving hearty locally sourced breakfasts, lunches and afternoon teas.
