Fabulous stay! A Gem!
Fantastic gem of a hotel! Really relaxed and chilled atmosphere. Super friendly staff! Loads of lovely little touches all over the place to make your stay feel personal! Good solid food too and not crazy expensive. Right in the middle of the beautiful New Forest! Well done everyone involved in running this hotel!

Away from it all
We had a fabulous time at the White Buck. It was nestled in the middle of the New Forest , with ponies everywhere. The building is full of character and our room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The staff were extremely friendly and the service was good. We are in the restaurant on both nights and the food and presentation was excellent . Will definitely stay here again.

Loved it!
Loved this hotel (and right near a golf course)! We had a huge room for 3 people. Very comfortable and large bathroom. The only negative was the see through bathroom door. Enjoyed the food and very friendly helpful staff.

Couldn’t fault it if we’d tried.
Absolutely amazing stay at the White Buck for a weekend getaway. The service was terrific, the food, the drinks, the room, everything was spot on. We will definitely return and will also recommend - this is a pub done right.

Needs some TLC
We stayed in a cosy room which was definitely snug. As we were at the top it meant that the room was boiling hot during the night.
The cleanliness wasnt that great as the toilet wasnt cleaned before we checked in, the table was all stained from tea/coffee rings and there was a dead wasp on the sill that wasnt cleared away the whole time we were there.
However it is a pet friendly place so would work well if you have a pet (we did not!)

The White Buck, Burley, Hampshire
Enjoyed a weekend break at The White Buck. Beautiful building, Lovely bedroom, bar/restaurant offering breakfast/lunch and dinner. There are also events that take place throughout the year.
The White Buck is located in Burley, in the New Forest, Hampshire. Ideally placed for both Hampshire/Dorset coastline, and lots of picturesque villages and towns for sightseeing. Don't forget the New Forest ponies!
Handy base if you want to get the ferry from either Lymington or Southampton to the Isle of Wight.

Came down for a wedding nearby and stayed at the white buck. The location in the new forest is lovely. The room was lovely, clean and well equipped. The food was delicious (surf and turf) The staff were all very helpful throughout. Dawn and Julie made getting up for breakfast a pleasure.
Little touches like the milk in the fridge upstairs really did it for me as i love cold milk. Will defo be returning for a longer visit.

We enjoyed our stay at the white buck. The hotel rooms were spacious and quiet with good amenities. An amazing shower!
Enjoyed the bar area with board games. Only downside was the quality of the food. It had good potential but just not cooked well. Although they were really good with allergies.
