“Here we are surrounded by nature and our rescued farm animals.”

Would-be guests are told: “Please note that Sally is an old army vehicle and as such smells and looks like an old army vehicle. (We have tried to keep as much of her as original as possible.)”

The vehicle has proved a hit so far.

One reviewer said of their stay: “What a place! Such a cool stay! The tank was so lovely to be kept original.

“The views are breathtaking.”
