The Old Chemist

A gravel lane leads to this beautiful, double-fronted holiday apartment which is perfect for family getaways and is located close to the centre of the charming village of Burley, in the heart of the New Forest National Park. Bursting with quaint independent shops, cafes and pubs, the village is renowned for its mystical heritage, once home to the white witch Sybil Leek, and there are intriguing ‘witchy’ shops throughout. It’s also well placed for meeting the region’s wildlife, with wild ponies and donkeys roaming freely. Hire a horse or bike to explore the wonderful bridleways and trails that originate in the village. Ringwood is just 6 miles away while Mudeford, Hengistbury Head, and Lymington are all within 10 miles – you never have to travel far for delightful days out in this enchanting destination.

Step inside this lovely, three-bedroom apartment to relax. The thoughtfully presented setting is a perfect place to unwind after fun-filled days in the New Forest – it’s a great size for a family or group break. Settle down in the characterful living area with sumptuous sofas, a Smart TV, and a wood burner for cosy evenings in. A well-equipped kitchen/diner has a farmhouse-style table for six, and offers a large, light and bright space to cook, chat, and share meals together – there’s another Smart TV in here so the chef stays entertained. When it’s time to call it a night after dinner, choose from three peaceful bedrooms. The elegant master bedroom boasts a king-size bed and its own en-suite shower room for comfort and convenience.  The next bedroom is home to a flexible super-king-size bed which can be converted into twins on request, while a welcoming single room completes the offerings. Each bedroom has its own Smart TV so everyone can catch the morning news in bed or retire early for a little solitude after busy days. A charming family  bathroom with a bath and separate shower cubicle completes this lovely apartment.

Heading outside, the garden has a wonderful, large patio area, complete with a glass canopy over the seating area. Guests have use of garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ for al fresco dining.
