Scenic and serene
Located at the northern-most border of the Hampshire Downs, this is
an idyllic and tranquil countryisde setting, perfect for those
seeking a peaceful retreat.
Family favourite
Z-beds are available on request and some of the rooms can be turned
into family suites via interconnecting doors.
Rooms
The eleven elegant bedrooms - three in the pub and eight in a separate lodge known as 'The Dog House' - are named after dog breeds in keeping with the Jack Russell theme.
Rooms are tastefully decorated to a high standard using natural materials - think stone, timber and wool - in calming colours of grey, silver and cream, with colour accents provided by armchairs, fake-fur throws and cushions. They boast comfy king beds, huge walk-in rain showers (some also have the addition of a roll-top bath), a Smart TV, an espresso machine and Bramley natural toiletries.
Book the coveted deluxe Great Dane or Bulldog rooms, which have French doors opening onto a private balcony or terrace, and watch the sun setting over the Hampshire downlands.
Restaurant & bar
Interesting seasonal menus follow a field-to-fork ethos with much of the game, lamb and vegetables grown and reared on the surrounding farms on the Faccombe Estate.
Step through the door into the warm, dog-friendly, wood-panelled bar and bag a table by the fire in one of the cosy snug areas and unwind with a drink and a delcious bar snack -. If you fancy something more substantial, take a seat in the casual dining area, again featuring snugs - all attractively decorated in a calming palette of aquamarine and gleaming wood - or the private restaurant, which seats 60 and offers an elegant, but relaxed setting for more formal dining.
Expect lots of farm-fresh fare on offer and don't miss the wine list, with local beers and wide range of spirits, including small-batch artisan gins and whiskies, to accompany it.
Private dining
For intimate dinners, such as a birthday celebration or an anniversary dinner for up to 14 people, the elegant dining room can be turned into a private dining area. For larger events, the restaurant, which is separate from the pub, can seat up to 60 guests.
For weddings, shoot parties or corporate away days, the well-appointed Dog House can be hired out, offering eight bedrooms, a chic private residents' lounge (with pool table, giant flatscreen TV, sofas, bar and kitchen), an interior courtyard and undercover fire pit for your exclusive use.
