The Jack Russell Inn - Inn in Hampshire
Netherton Hill, Faccombe, SP11 0DS, Hampshire
England,
Reino Unido
Eco credentials here are sound: the inn is powered by natural energy from the estate wind turbine which works alongside a biomass boiler fed by their own woodland, and water comes from a bore hole on the estate. Menus feature estate-grown produce from game to figs and apples from the orchard. There's no lack of comfort though: bedrooms (above the pub or in the Dog House) are blessed with king size beds, woollen throws and muted colours; bathrooms sport Noble Isle soaps and lotions. Dig into the treats if the weather is bad.
The Dog House has a lovely covered outdoor area with comfy seating around a fire pit and also a lounge/private dining space with leather sofas, books, magazines, sound system, log fire and honesty bar. Over at the inn the informal bar is cosy and relaxed, the dining room has a log fire and you'll eat and drink well.
Roam the Hampshire Highlands, puff up to Inkpen Beacon for stunning views.

Local points of interest from Stephane Malbranche:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Stephane Malbranche:
- St Peter’s is a pretty Norman church in the heart of St Mary Bourne village. The Grade I-listed building retains many original features and has many interesting artefacts, including a Norman chancel arch, a large Tournai black marble font from the late 12th century.
- At Marsh Benham, the Kennet and Avon canal passes through Hamstead Lock, a pretty section of the canal with a bench overlooking the water. It makes a nice picnic or rest spot.
- Penwood Forest is a beautiful woodland known for its ancient beech trees and autumnal colours. The woods feature a network of walking trails that welcome walkers, runner, and cyclists.
- One of the best sections of the Wayfarers Walk with a decent singletrack. Some sections are heavily rutted, too much so for my limited skills. Added interest with Bluebells carpeting the woods during May.
- Ladle Hill is a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Scheduled Monument with sublime views. Atop the hill is an Iron Age hill fort that has never been excavated. Ladle Hill is a calcareous grassland chalk downland habitat, which is now scarce in Britain.
- Watership Down is a hill in the Hampshire Downs. It is best known as the setting for Richard Adams' 1972 novel about rabbits, ‘Watership Down’. The hill, which has a partially-completed Iron Age hill fort on its summit, affords far-reaching views.
