The Jack Russell, Hampshire

Nestled on the Faccombe estate in the middle of the glorious Hampshire countryside, The Jack Russell is a truly dog-friendly historic pub with stylish bedrooms, each named after dog breeds, with rustic and cosy interiors.

The pub features a welcoming bar and restaurant, spacious bedrooms and a lovely English garden. To ensure that your four-legged friend settles in, the Jack Russell team offer dog beds, bowls and even a special doggy beer & biscuits to enjoy. Your canine companion will love the endless country walks available on your doorstep and exploring historic points of interest such as Stonehenge, just 30 minutes away and Highclere Castle, the setting for Downton Abbey.

Foodies will love sampling the local menu that celebrates great British produce with a focus on the conservation of the outstanding natural beauty and wildlife of our surrounding areas. This is a theme that runs through the entire hotel. Aiming to conserve energy and be as self-sufficient as possible, water is sourced from a bore hole on the estate, the building's electricity comes from a wind turbine on the hill and the warmth from a wood pellet burning biomass boiler that provides all the heat to the pub, lodge and surrounding community. These wood pellets are a by-product of the waste from Faccombe Forestry who try to use 100% of each tree and replant three in place of each one felled.

While you are cosying up in the pub, look out for General Manager Ross, and his three resident dogs, Barnie, Betty & Whisper, who are often on hand to extend a warm welcome to you and your best furry friend. There is even a polaroid camera for you to take a photo of your perfect pooch to stick in the doggy guestbook during your stay!
