This property was perfect. Beautiful quiet location. Owners were amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well looked after.
We highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area.
Our stay at Tangley in the UK was fabulous. Very nice and comfortable cottage, friendly and helpful host, and wonderful countryside walking. Absolute heaven.
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...
A lovely place to stay. We ended up staying 4 months in between a property move. Rob and Maggie were so flexible and couldnât do enough to help. A perfect and peaceful location. Would definitely recommend. Thank you again.

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!
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!
YouÂŽll meet the very nice hosts Maggie and Rob with their 3 adorable Golden Retriever and a cat on their beautiful property, where the hostÂŽs 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. WeÂŽve been welcomed very friendly. Already before our vacation Maggie answered my numerous questions without any complaint. YouÂŽll see at once that these guys really love what they do.
For kids thereÂŽs a big garden to runaround and they even have hens. ThereÂŽs a swing and a trampoline as well. A lot (!) of games inside. Tangley is smaller than a village - itÂŽs 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. ItÂŽs 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 fĂŒhlen uns jedes Mal wie zu Hause. Maggie und Rob sind wunderbare Vermieter und man fĂŒhlt sich sofort herzlich willkommen. Tangley liegt in herrlicher Natur, so dass man direkt vom Haus aus spazieren gehen oder wandern kann. FuĂlĂ€ufig erreichbar ist das "The Fox Inn", ein Pub mit sehr guter asiatischer KĂŒche, der auch Take away anbietet und sehr empfehlenswert ist. London ist ĂŒber Andover und Basingstoke sehr gut mit dem Zug zu erreichen.
Maggie und Rob sind wunderbare Gastgeber. Das Haus ist perfekt eingerichtet, ruhig gelegen. Der Pub um die Ecke bietet leckere Thai Gerichte. Wir haben wunderschöne AusflĂŒge nach Bath, Winchester, Salisbury, Oxford, Christchurch... genossen.
As per our previous visit in 2019, Rob & Maggie could not be more welcoming & efficient with the running of the lodge,nothing was too much trouble with the lodge being extra clean & well stocked with consumables ...10 out of 10 from us....thanks guys!!..
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.
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.
GemĂŒtliches Haus mit einer sehr gut ausgestatteten KĂŒche, auf dem GrundstĂŒck der netten Gastgebern. Schöne ruhige lĂ€ndliche Gegend, perfekt zum Wandern. Wunderschöne AusflĂŒge in der NĂ€he nach Stonehenge, Winchester, Salisbury, im Test Tal⊠und ein Pub um die Ecke mit leckeren Thai Gerichten. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
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!
We had a fabulous stay here, the cottage was very clean and comfortable. The fresh eggs were a wonderful bonus and the dogs very friendly. We would definitely return and recommend.
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!
Top ausgestattetes, sauberes Ferienhaus auf groĂzĂŒgigem gepflegtem GrundstĂŒck. Es gibt zahlreiche Spiel- und SportgerĂ€te. Das Haus liegt inmitten schönster Landschaft, ist Ausgangspukt fĂŒr attraktive AusflĂŒge und SpaziergĂ€nge und hat einen netten Pub (The Fox Inn) um die Ecke. Die Vermieter sind ausgesprochen freundlich, hilfsbereit und immer zu einem interessanten GesprĂ€ch bereit. Drei reizende Golden Retriever haben uns auch viel Freude gemacht. Es war der perfekte Urlaub.
From the first minute we arrived Rob and Maggie were the perfect hosts. We received such a warm welcome from them and their 3 dogs and from then on it felt like we were part of the family. The annexe is so comfortable and had everything we needed. The garden is big and beautiful and the chickens laying fresh eggs every day a real bonus. The location is perfect for everything in the area with the Thai pub literally a.minutes walk away. I cannot thank Rob and Maggie enough and would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area
A warm welcome awaits from Maggie and Rob when you stay at the Oakcroft Annexe. Country location with plenty of walks nearby. Very well stocked kitchen and accommodation . Spent a wonderful two months there, particularly when their two retrievers and four puppies were there. Not to forget the chickens and their delicious eggs. Nothing is too much trouble as Maggie and Rob are there to assist and they welcomed our visitors making it feel like home for the time we stayed. Can recommend wholeheartedly. Thank you Maggie and Rob and missing Carly, Winnie and Bruno.

Rob and Maggie decided to buy Oakcroft and Oakcroft Annexe in 2011 to enjoy the countryside delights rural North Hampshire has to offer with their two teenage daughters, Ana and Jessica. Chickens, cats and three golden retriever dogs (Carly, Winnie and Bruno) soon followed to add to the fun. Fishing, cycling, tennis, running, walking and growing your own fruit and vegetables keep us busy when there's free time away from work or school.
The property is a fantastic, private, stylish accommodation in a beautiful, quiet, rural setting ideally placed for walking, biking, fishing and bird watching. There are spectacular views across rolling countryside mixed with beautiful woodlands and bluebells in early summer just a short distance from the property.
It's a delightful spot to use as a base from which to visit the many historical cities and towns nearby such as Winchester (King Arthur's Round Table), Salisbury (Old Sarum, Salisbury Cathedral), Newbury (unique Watermill Theatre), Hungerford (antiques centre), Southampton (West Quay shopping and Southampton Docks), Portsmouth (HMS Victory and the Mary Rose), and Bath (Roman baths and great shopping) as well as the World Heritage site of Stonehenge, Avebury and Danebury Iron Age Hillfort. There is also an excellent Iron Age Museum in Andover displaying many of the iron-age finds from the Hillfort. The village of Highclere is nearby, with the stunning Highclere Castle (of Downton Abbey fame). Twenty minutes drive away is the gin distillery 'Bombay Saphire', providing gin tours, tasting and cocktails, as well as cocktail-making courses. The distillery is next door to the Watership Down pub (famous from the Richard Adam's book, 'Watership Down'), offering a lovely rural setting for a quiet drink and delicious meals. It's also close to Hardy's Cottage Garden Plants, one of the UK's leading plantsmen nurseries, with courses available in propagation and border planting as well as being stocked with over 1200 varieties of rare plants There are several excellent local pubs for food within 5 miles of the property, one of which is within easy walking distance. We are also very close to two super farm shops, offering a selection of locally produced, high quality meat and home-made produce, with sausage-making courses available.
