In the beautiful village of Nether Wallop. Picturesque cottages, streams & walks. 5 minute drive to average pub. Silence is golden. Birdsong beautiful. Resident owl in roofspace, loves to dance all night!No shop for bits. Have to drive if you want to go anywhere!! The Tank House needs some TLC on the exterior. Dirty windows, especially the Velux in the bedroom original sticker marks still on glass. The bathroom is small, but perfect. Gorgeous soft big towells .paint touchups needed on walls & shower edging needs attention. Mattress very uncomfortable! Possibly feather bedding? Should really be anti allergen or at least mentioned in rundown.Information pack is pretty nonexistent! No info on appliance use, plenty of leaflets though. No fire extinguisher/blanket in the property or escape route from upstairs. Priority. Kitchen amenities adequate. If you fancy a big fry up, take a big frying pan! Very small one supplied. Last of all, the sofa is the most uncomfortable thing we have ever sat on. So, we spent time at the table or upstairs watching ipad in the evenings! It is very deep & slouching. Not pleasant. Two big cosy armchairs would be better! Again feather filled, so not ideal for allergies. Red wine was delicious! Couldn't eat the chocolate as had nuts in!!Great if you just want a short break. Countryside is wonderful.

We had a lovely relaxing stay, literally in the middle of a field. The cottage was cute, spacious enough for us, and had everything we needed.
