The food and staff were genuinely amazing — every meal was delicious and the team were warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. We also loved the free‑standing bath in our room; such a lovely touch and really added to the experience.

Unfortunately, we didn’t sleep well as the room was extremely hot, and the fan provided didn’t help at all. A better cooling option would have made a big difference.

The pool itself was beautiful and refreshing, but it did feel a bit awkward during our visit. A bridal party were sitting along the edge with their feet in the water, taking photos — including with a drone — and they were taking up around half the pool space, which made it less relaxing for other guests.

Overall, a mix of wonderful service and amenities with a few comfort issues that affected our stay.

Disappointed in our stay - particularly with respect to value for money.
Although the building and grounds are attractive, the photos are misleading. In our room and main hotel areas: furniture faded and stained, peeling paint and water stains on the walls, mould in the shower, dirty windows and light fixtures covered in cobwebs. The mattress was very firm. It was too warm for the duvet provided - a flat sheet would have been a thoughtful alternative. The TV connection was so unstable; we had to fiddle with the cable to watch.
In anticipation of hot weather we asked whether we should bring our own fan and were told one would be provided; that fan was broken. Staff were unable to provide a replacement. As only three of the four windows opened, and only slighlty, the room was hot and stuffy all night.
Outside, the pool area had comfortable chairs but ladders into the pool were not fixed properly, the paint was peeling, and the water in need of cleaning. No towels were provided. The Adirondack chairs by the entrance were a nice place for a drink and to take in the view, but needed to be cleared of the many glasses and ashtrays from previous visitors. Put us off eating in the restaurant.
As far as being dog-friendly, for £15 extra, only a few tiny treats and poo-bags were provided, with scale-stained water bowls at the entrance.
On check-out staff did not inquire about our stay; merely said good bye.
A very poor comparison to other hotels in the same category.

The hotel has a great location and the room was clean and well serviced, but the building itself was in poor condition and our room on the second floor was like an oven. No aircon, a weak noisy fan and a window with limited opening. There was an outdoor pool but this was not open despite it being the hottest ever day in May (according to the website, it is open from June to September). Restaurant was 'fully booked' for the evening of our arrival, despite there being a number of apparently free tables, so we ate out both evenings. Breakfast was expensive at £20 per head, so we had that out too (there are a couple of very nice coffee shops in Burley village serving an excellent breakfast at less than half the price). Bar had a poor selection of drinks. Overall, something of a disappointment.

The room was perfect, lovely bathroom as well, however the hotel experienced a power outage overnight & therefore there was no hot water, lighting, no hot food for breakfast - and for whatever reason the toilets wouldn’t flush, which nobody seemed to realise. We had to pack the relative darkness looking for our belongings from the lights from our phones, and finding a way down the corridors in a huge sprawling hotel in the dark was quite tricky. I realise this is not exactly the hotels fault but they didn’t do anything to ease the process. Every room that morning was freezing. They didn’t light any of the fireplaces or provide any form of apologies. We left somewhat disappointed.

Many issues during our stay which is not cheap - we saved up for this as it was a huge dream to stay here and have left very disappointed.

Arrival - no one at the desk for 20 minutes to which someone was waiting to complain too which didn’t start us off great. It also made us nearly miss dinner due to this wait as a few people said it was too late to eat but thankfully one person let us though it was rushed because of this delay waiting.

Room was freezing when arrived and hat heater on full still cold.

Tap water wasn’t drinkable in the room - bits of black came out of tap when turned it on which shows not clean and tasted vile.

No vegan milk - though mentioned many times were very - although this was later rectified

The water in the bath wasnt hot at all we had to boil the kettle and use that to have a bath!

The first night we were woken very early by running and shouting in the corridors

Room was never cleaned after first night though left sign in door

second night we got a couple hours sleep as around 3am there was rackets and rackets of noise resulting in people shouting and swearing at the top of their voices in the corridors which went on for a long time and was impossible to get back to sleep. This happened outside our door so we were shut in yet the door was so thin it felt they could easily have come in felt insafe

I don't normally leave reviews but I feel like I have to with this one. The manor is very run down. It's beyond me that this property should have 4 stars. It's beautiful from the outside and the staff is friendly but other than that it's a mess. The food was terrible and really poor value for what was served. The restaurant is fully lit with lights that will give you a headache. It feels like dining at an insane asylum to be honest. There was a foul smell in the rooms and hallways. There was a wedding going on at full volume and our room was right next to it. We had not been informed and frankly the blasting of the music ruined our weekend. We were kindly given another room once we couldn't take the noise anymore but at that point we had gone to bed and were forced to get dressed and pack up all of our things. It was meant to be a relaxing weekend away from the city but we came back exhausted.

All fur coat- No knickers!

Location is impressive and downstairs is nicely decorated.

First impression on reception was poor-It was utter chaos.
Team seemed confused by several bookings-not just ours.
We were asked if we wanted to book dinner and we said yes, when we arrived for our booking, the restaurant staff had no idea of booking which was embarrassing.
Dinner was ok but vastly overpriced- I spent £113 for 2courses and no drinks.
Service issues continued in the morning when the breakfast staff couldn’t find our booking, and then couldn’t tell us if we were allowed any cooked items, again nice and embarrassing. There was option to cook your own egg, staff didn’t how to use equipment.

Bedrooms were ok, bath was nice but furniture was faded and tatty- simply not worth the more luxury price tag of £466 for 2 rooms for 1 night (and this was on offer).

On a plus, cleaning staff were polite and friendly and hotel was clean overall.

Pros-
Location,setting,Deer on grounds, cleanliness, cleaning staff.

Cons-
Welcome to hotel, staff knowledge, service overall, overpriced.

Booked two rooms for me and my mother as we were celebrating her 80th birthday the next day with an afternoon tea party in the hotel. Our rooms were at the top of a rickety flight of stairs and there is no lift. But worse than that the rooms were disgusting. I’d booked cozy doubles and one room had clearly been the site of a water leak. It smelled damp and the walls were stained and paper was hanging off the walls and ceiling. The other room was filthy with stains on the walls and cobwebs everywhere. Reception said they couldn’t do anything as the hotel was full. Let them know again in the morning and also by email and no one has got in touch so I want to warn others about this.

The Burley Manor is in a beautiful area, the vast New Forest national park is within a few minutes walk. Theres some lovely local eateries and shops within 5 minutes walk from the front door. Everything is very clean, you can tell they have high standards for housekeeping. the staff are faultless. They are so welcoming and helpful. My only minor improvement would be that parts of it need updating, the carpets leading upstairs in the main building don’t look so good. And the fittings are a bit old (not old style-old) so if you are someone who needs modern fittings then you need to see if they have rooms with that. It may well be the case that newer rooms are different. The outdoor pool was lovely in the afternoon sun, it’s not big enough to swim lengths but it’s perfect for relaxing in after a Spa treatment!
I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. Thank-you Burley Manor for a wonderful weekend :)

Nice hotel. Awful meals

The hotel and the staff are really nice but unfortunately the experience of staying at such a nice hotel was ruined by the standard of the food. The meals and drinks were expensive (£120 for 3 courses with a glass of wine each) which would be acceptable for a hotel of this status but the meals (mainly the main course’s) were not very good at all. My dauphinoise potatoes were nothing like what I know dauphinoise potatoes to be… I’ve even googled it in case I’m ignorant of a specific dish. My partner had plaice which was so thin there was hardly any meat. We were both so hungry as our main didn’t fill us that we had the dessert as well. We don’t normally have 3 courses but just one, however we were both still so hungry, we went back to the room to eat our complimentary biscuits. I would recommend anyone staying here should just eat at one of the local pubs! Don’t waste your money on a poor standard of meal.

A Beautiful Hotel let down by it's food!!!!

The Hotel and. Rooms were faultless and the staff could not be more friendly or helpful.

As someone that stays in a lot of hotels 80+ per year.
My only criticism would be the menu is quite limited and side orders are very expensive £5 for 3 small flat mushrooms and £5 for a small portion of fries.. however the rump steak I ordered was cooked to perfection and the taste was amazing.
My main issue was the breakfast charged at £17 per head.
It was disgusting, to the point of inedible, and had I not been in a rush, I would have certainly sent it back.
1 sausage that looked uncooked or had been cooked in a microwave.
1rasher of streaky bacon, again nearly cooked.
1 rasher of back bacon again only nearly cooked
1 soggy hash brown
And the smallest portion of scrambled eggs I have ever seen.
Like 1 egg small.
All in all the food was expensive even by hotel standards and the menu limited.
Would definitely stay here again, but not eat here.

Nice hotel but take earplugs!

Nice hotel, a little shabby around the edges in places but nothing serious, just an old building. Room was lovely, overlooking gardens, bathroom was great, lovely a spacious, bed was comfy and huge. Breakfast was delicious and drinks at the bar were good but expensive. Two things let it down for me, one the soundproofing between rooms was shocking, the people in the room next to us were not being overly loud but we could hear them all night. It's not the hotel's fault that they talked and laughed all night, literally all night, but it did not make for a relaxing stay. Other thing was the availability of general items at breakfast, no yoghurt, no pastries, no bread, no glasses for juice. The cooked breakfast that was ordered was delicious but sometimes you want a slice of toast too! Considering everyone is asked what time they would like to have breakfast, it was disappointing that they weren't more prepared. Otherwise it was a nice place

Mixed feelings

The room was spacious, if a little mixed up decor wise. Modern electrics, great coffee maker, nice bed; but Victorian wardrobe and hideous purple paint in the bathroom! The staff were very good, but the restaurant over lit and characterless. Food was good and again service was fine, but wine list didn’t make sense price wise. I knew several of the wines on offer, and some had a mark up of 2.5 times which you expect, but others had one on 4 times supermarket prices.
Nothing wrong with the place, but we would not go back.

Had a lovely one night stay at burley Manor. Staff very friendly and helpful, especially the main reception. Will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you to all staff.

Good New Forest option

It was better than anticipated as didn’t have huge expectations from reading previous reviews. The public rooms were cosy and breakfast had enough options. I did ask for well cooked poached eggs but they were runny so I couldn’t eat them. The Wifi didn’t work in my room on any of my devices so that was disappointing. Hopefully they will paint the window trim and fix some of the wear and tear in the bathroom to make it more appealing. I liked the refillable water bottles but a biscuit jar when we still have COVID?!

Great country retreat. Well priced, friendly staff, in the heart of nature - what’s better than a G&T outside while watching the deer roam in front of you!

Beautiful location, but room disappointing.

Beautiful location and stunning building. Sitting outside on the terrace was the best part.
Bar staff weren't particularly great, unless you like more ice than drink!
Room was a little tired, not as clean as expected, food was ok but overrated. Carpet and decor on corridors very worn. Most of the building looks very tired apart from what you see on entrance/ground floor. Expensive for what it is.
Room was disappointing as we stayed in a deluxe room which wasn't really deluxe.

Lovely stay

Its incredible to be watching deer in such a peaceful, beautiful setting, whilst enjoying a cocktail! The hotel and grounds were lovely, however our room was way too hot and stuffy and we slept so badly, we didn't have breakfast included but were told we were unable to order a proper coffee the next morning which is a shame before a long journey. The pool was a lovely addition, however it isnt heated as advertised and much colder than nearby sea.

good and nice location

very nice. lovely location. Comfortable rooms - we had one Classic overlooking deer park and one of the small doubles. Both were fine. Good breakfast. Dinner menu wasn't to our liking but that was just personal. We ate in the village and that was fine.

Just a beautiful property with the deer park in front and village close by with a couple of pubs. Eating at the hotel was really good and all staff friendly. Loved the giant bed and views.
