About this property
Stylish Rural Retreat in Tangley in a Quiet Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Delightful, stylish holiday accommodation in a peaceful location of outstanding natural beauty, near the Hampshire/Wiltshire border. One master bedroom sleeps 2 (4 possible) with ensuite bathroom with shower and bath, with two additional pull-out beds downstairs if required to accommodate a maximum of 6 people. Downstairs an open plan lounge and kitchen-diner. The property is in the grounds of our family home with its own private outdoor seating area, a lounge terrace with hammocks, BBQ, and access to the spacious garden with swings and a trampoline. The property is within walking distance of an excellent local pub serving good food, with additional great food pubs a 5 or 10 minute drive away. Stunning walks on the doorstep with an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways, ideal for walkers and birdwatchers. Superb bluebell woods within walking distance from the house. Excellent mountain biking opportunities, with easy access to off-road trails. For good road biking, National Cycle route 24 runs from Andover to Romsey along the Test Way, Route 246 and 4 from Andover to Newbury along beautiful Hampshire and Berkshire country lanes. A short drive to some outstanding local chalk-stream fly fishing. Free flood-lit tennis court 2 minutes drive. A 20 minute drive to the World Heritage site of Stonehenge, and also Avebury and Danebury Ring, and a 30 minute drive to the cathedral towns of Winchester and Salisbury. The market towns of Andover and Newbury are a 7 and 20 minute driver, respectively. The village of Highclere with the famous Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey fame) is a 20 minute drive from the house. Approximately 20 minute drive to the famous 'Bombay Saphire' gin distillery, with guided tours and cocktail courses available. The distillery is next door to the equally famous Watership Down pub (setting for the Watership Down book), a beautiful location for a delicious meal, and also walking distance to 'Hardy's' plants, with horticultural courses available on propagation, and rare plants for your garden. Local farm shops within 10 minutes drive, selling excellent, locally sourced produce, with sausage-making courses available. Direct train line from Andover to London Waterloo (1 hour 5 minutes) with easy access to the cultural highlights of the city. Chickens, cats and three quiet, lovable golden retriever dogs (Carly, Winnie and Bruno) also on site, and horses next door.

Our stay at Tangley in the UK was fabulous. Very nice and comfortable cottage, friendly and helpful host, and wonderful countryside walking. Absolute heaven.
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!!..
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
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 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 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...
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Ausflüge nach Bath, Winchester, Salisbury, Oxford, Christchurch... genossen.
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.
Belle maison au calme bien équipée et bien située pour vistier Stonehenge, Winchester, le parc national New Forest, Windsor. etc. Nous y avons passé un très bon séjour. Les propriétaires sont charmants ainsi que leurs trois chiens, chats et poules ! Thank you !
Gemütliches Haus mit einer sehr gut ausgestatteten Küche, auf dem Grundstück der netten Gastgebern. Schöne ruhige ländliche Gegend, perfekt zum Wandern. Wunderschöne Ausflüge in der Nähe 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 großzügigem gepflegtem Grundstück. Es gibt zahlreiche Spiel- und Sportgeräte. Das Haus liegt inmitten schönster Landschaft, ist Ausgangspukt für attraktive Ausflüge und Spaziergänge und hat einen netten Pub (The Fox Inn) um die Ecke. Die Vermieter sind ausgesprochen freundlich, hilfsbereit und immer zu einem interessanten Gespräch 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
