A New Forest pub has been named as one of the UK's cosiest with rooms according to a lifestyle magazine.

The White Buck, which is located in the village of Burley near Ringwood, was featured alongside 19 others in a list from Country Living.

Discussing the creation of the list, the publication wrote: "The best way to reward an amble in the countryside is to warm up in a cosy pub – and it’s even better when it’s a pub with rooms, so you can settle in for the night.

"From traditional pubs with just a handful of rooms to historic coaching inns, staying overnight at a pub will give you a great base for exploring some of the finest rural destinations in the country".

The White Buck received praise from Country Living for its decor and its pet amenities among several factors.
