Oakcroft is in such a beautiful, quiet location, really close to the Wiltshire border. The property had everything we needed and we loved coming back to our temporary home each day. It really did feel like home and made our time away even more enjoyable. After a full day of walking and seeing all the sights in Wiltshire, it was so lovely to come back and relax.We honestly couldn’t fault it! Margaret and Rob are amazing hosts. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to meet Margaret this time, but her communication was fantastic and Rob was the perfect host.Thank you both and see you again soon!

Great place to stay if you want peace and quiet.could not have found anywhere better, it was so peaceful no traffic noise ,wonderfully relaxing.Spacious well equipped and spotlessly clean. We were greeted by Rob ,although we were early he was most welcoming. If you like dogs you will enjoy the delightful golden retrievers that wander around the garden. The only problem that we had was a concern for the temperature of the hot water,it was very very hot, we raised with Rob but he said that no one else had mentioned it so he didn’t seem concerned. The pub across the road was great, a great range of Thai food and so close by. All in all apart from the water temperature there was no complaints at all.

Lovely week long stay at Oakcroft

We very much loved our stay at Rob and Maggie's annex in Tangley in between house moves. We felt very welcome and had all the amenities we needed for the week. The location is wonderful and The Fox pub opposite does lovely Thai food. Our 4 year old daughter loved playing on the trampoline, with their dogs and chickens. Very much recommend this rental. 5/5!

Excellent hosts and accommodation

A lovely place to stay. We ended up staying 4 months in between a property move. Rob and Maggie were so flexible and couldn’t do enough to help. A perfect and peaceful location. Would definitely recommend. Thank you again. Vince and Jules

A great find. Although in the owners garden there was plenty of privacy and outside seating to enjoy. The owners were very helpful and happy to help if you have any questions. There are dogs but they are also very friendly and sometimes sleep near you when sitting outside. The property was very clean with plenty of space to relax. There's a Thai pub within walking distance which is very good and the property is in an excellent location to explore Hampshire with the south coast only about an hour away.

Fantastic place to be.

We had a fantastic stay in this annexe. Maggie and Rob were the best hosts you can imagine. There are very helpful and have a lot of good ideas of what to do and where to go. We hope to return someday because we haven't seen all there is to see around here. We also enjoyed the fresh eggs and plums which had a unbelievable freshness. Thank you Maggie and Rob for your wonderful hospitality and hopefully we will see you again some day.

We propose a new 6-Star-Category

We have to accept, that 5 Stars are the highest evaluation, but we have to give 6: Very quiet, a so well kept house, sweet dogs and a 15-head-chicken-family giving their eggs. And of corse wonderful hosts! We hopefully will come back one day...

Grandiose!

We had a very nice stay in the house. It is equipped with all amenities. It was very clean. A lovely gelding there. During the week we were there, only Rob was home. He took all the time to explain beautiful walks to us and to have a chat. Had some really nice conversations!

Peaceful location with very nice hosts

You´ll meet the very nice hosts Maggie and Rob with their 3 adorable Golden Retriever and a cat on their beautiful property, where the host´s house and the annexe is situated. The really cosy and spacious annexe is close enough to the owners house to ask questions, have a small chat or get visits from the dogs (very friendly and soo sweet!) - but still with a "border of bushes and trees" to be on your own. We´ve been welcomed very friendly. Already before our vacation Maggie answered my numerous questions without any complaint. You´ll see at once that these guys really love what they do. For kids there´s a big garden to runaround and they even have hens. There´s a swing and a trampoline as well. A lot (!) of games inside. Tangley is smaller than a village - it´s a very quiet place with only a few houses (no shops- you have to drive to Andover). A perfect place to come back and relax from an exchausting trip. It´s for the whole family.

Sehr schönes Ferienhaus mit Top Ausstattung in ruhiger und sehr schöner Lage in Tangley

Wir sind bereits zum vierten Mal nach Tangley gekommen und fühlen uns jedes Mal wie zu Hause. Maggie und Rob sind wunderbare Vermieter und man fühlt sich sofort herzlich willkommen. Tangley liegt in herrlicher Natur, so dass man direkt vom Haus aus spazieren gehen oder wandern kann. Fußläufig erreichbar ist das "The Fox Inn", ein Pub mit sehr guter asiatischer Küche, der auch Take away anbietet und sehr empfehlenswert ist. London ist über Andover und Basingstoke sehr gut mit dem Zug zu erreichen.

Zeer aan te bevelen accommodatie

Goed verzorgde accommodatie met ruime tuin in landelijke omgeving. Gastvrije en zeer vriendelijke en ontspannen eigenaren. Gezellige dieren op het terrein: honden, katten, kippen. Konden gratis eieren rapen en appels en pruimen plukken. Op redelijke afstand konden we prachtige lokaties bezoeken: Jane Austen House, Highclere Castle, Stonehenge, .Winchester, Oxford en Windsor Castle.

10 days stay in beautiful Tangley

If you are looking for nice, calm place to relax, enjoy nature and live in your own small house - join this location. Nice garden and three lovely dogs make this house very suitable if you have to stay in Andover and/or surroundings. Thank you to Maggie and Rob for this beautiful place. You can be sure that I will come back, but my third visit will be for holidays. Big hugs!

Excellent

Rob and Maggie were fantastic hosts and very attentive and friendly. Well situated location for days out to Highclere Castle, Blenheim Palace, Beaulieu and even a day in London via train. The garden was great for the children (ages 7-14). Football net, trampoline, table tennis table, swings and tree swing and friendly dogs to play with. The children also liked collecting eggs from the chickens. The accomodation was very comfortable and the best equiped kitchen we have experienced. Would definitely recommend!
