Dog-friendly countryside inn in Andover with 11 unique themed rooms and farm-to-table dining
Accommodations
The Jack Russell offers 11 unique bedrooms, each named after a dog breed, including the Jack Russell room, the Great Dane room, and the Chihuahua room. Rooms in the Dog House extension feature spacious layouts with roll-top baths, 6-foot-wide beds, and private courtyard access. Each room has a private bathroom, soundproofing, and garden or countryside views, with select rooms offering private terraces.
Dining
The on-site restaurant serves British cuisine with a farm-to-table approach, using local seasonal produce for lunch and dinner. The menu includes a special game menu, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, and a Sunday roast with maple-glazed parsnips. A bar offers world-class drinks and an impressive wine list, with a separate lounge area and an outdoor fireplace for after-dinner drinks.
Pet-Friendly Hospitality
Dogs are welcome throughout the hotel, with pet baskets, pet bowls, and a Polaroid camera for taking photos for the pet guestbook. Each dog receives a complimentary doggy beer and biscuit upon arrival, and a dedicated guest book for dogs records their stay. The Chihuahua room and other dog-friendly rooms open onto a courtyard, and the hotel provides pet-friendly walking routes starting from the property.
Sustainability & Outdoor Spaces
The hotel is powered by renewable energy sources and sources ingredients locally to reduce its carbon footprint. Guests can relax in the garden, sun terrace, or around the outdoor fireplace with sheepskin rugs, and a picnic area is available for al fresco meals. The grounds include a duck pond with deer park views, a separate lounge with a large pool table, and a fire pit seating area for groups.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The Jack Russell sits in the North Wessex Downs National Park, 1.7 miles from Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey filming location) and 20 minutes from Newbury Racecourse. A circular walk starts directly from the hotel, passing through sheep farms, quiet country lanes, and a deer enclosure. The nearby Faccombe Estate offers outdoor activities such as shooting and hiking, and Stonehenge is 37 km away.
