Holmsley Gate House

Description

This unique modern house offers a rural haven in the heart of the New Forest. 

A cottage on this site was originally the home of the level-crossing operator (the gate-keeper); the disused railway line that runs alongside it has now been converted into a cycle track and footpath. With direct forest access from the front gate, walks and rides stretch for miles in every direction. From the large windows are spectacular views and there isn't another house in sight. Holmsley Gate House offers very comfortable accommodation for up to 6 people in 3 bedrooms. The enclosed garden is the perfect place to relax and watch the ponies as they wander by. 

A five minute drive or half-hour walk brings you to Burley village centre, which has a variety of independent shops, pubs and tearooms which are well worth a visit.  You can hire bikes from the village or enjoy a wagon ride through the forest. Burley’s local golf course has been created from the New Forest heathland so ponies and donkeys will often be seen watching you tee off. The sea is a 15 minute drive away. You will find good shops, weekly markets, and larger supermarkets in Ringwood and Lymington, each a 20 minute drive from the house.
