Rooms
11 elegant bedrooms - three in the pub and eight in a separate lodge known as "The Dog House" - all named after dog breeds in keeping with the Jack Russell theme. Ask for the coveted deluxe Great Dane or Bulldog rooms, which have French doors opening on to their own private balcony or terrace, the perfect place to watch the sun setting over the Hampshire downlands.
All 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. Each room boasts comfy king beds, generously sized walk-in rain showers (some also have the addition of a roll-top bath), a flat-screen TV, tea-and-coffee-making facilities, an espresso machine and Bramley toiletries.
Restaurant & bar
Step through the front door and be welcomed into the warm, dog-friendly, wood-panelled bar with snugs that offer cosy nooks where you can unwind with a drink and a 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.
The menu follows a field-to-fork ethos with much of the game, lamb and vegetables grown on the surrounding Faccombe Farm & Estate. 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, our 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. A chef can be provided to work in the residents' lounge kitchen to prepare a bespoke menu for you. The gorgeous English garden also makes a pretty setting for a champagne reception.
