We loved that it was tucked away in the countryside and had a great restaurant / bar on site. We had a room with a bathtub which was lovely and the room was very spacious.

Perfect location; welcoming and accommodating staff; room appointed to a luxury standard; breakfast choices were extensive and well-cooked; dinner was high-end restaurant quality; drinks menu was extensive; very warm and convivial atmosphere in the bar and restaurant; surroundings idyllic - beautiful country village.
The country lanes in reaching the location were narrow requiring forensic attention around each bend, but only a few miles so worth the concentration. Lighting in room was a bit on the low side - dimmer switches with brighter top-end would have been better for us; twin beds comfy, but single duvet could have been a bit wider

The property was amazing and the grounds very beautiful! The bedroom was small but tastefully decorated and had everything we needed. The bathroom was actually quite large and very nice. We only had one meal in the Inn, dinner on the night we arrived, and it was delicious!
There was only one thing that we didn't like about our stay at the Jack Russell Inn - the beds in our room. They looked really pretty and nice, but they left us all with terrible kinks in our backs the next morning...and we're athletic, younger people! The mattresses were really not good at all, both on the main bed as well on the pullout couch bed. It could have just been our room? (We were in "The Greyhound" room). I would recommend to owners to have them replaced asap (at least, in "The Greyhound" room).

Our 2 night stay in a spacious double room called The Jack Russell with large on-suite bathroom. Staff very pleasant. Marina from Nepal was a pleasure to talk to and very helpful.Great variety of choices on breakfast menu. Pub welcoming and cosy in beautiful, peaceful country surroundings. A great place to be for Xmas or New Year I can imagine. Highly recommend.
Cornish Haddock on the dinner menu was tasteless, so I left most of it. When asked if all OK, I told the waiter who said, "Would you like anything else?" I said no, he apologised but no offer of discount so very expensive meal of a few chips and peas for me. The only blip on an otherwise fantastic stay.

Breakfast was great, as were the entire surroundings - so relaxing and lots of space for guests to roam the grounds, enjoy the fire pit, sit in the bar area with a cocktail, or relaxing in the lovely rooms.
The Sunday roast was not the best but I think we probably got one of the last meals of the afternoon - it seemed like things had been kept warm and their quality suffered as a result.
I would definitely give it another go though.
The staff were great and I have no negative comments about the service we received.

We love how perfect the Jack Russell is for a Sunday roast, dog walk then relax in the bar, by the fire pit, or in the comfortable and generously sized rooms.
Nothing!

Fantastic stay at the Jack Russell! The inn was wonderfully furnished and quirky. The rooms again wonderfully laid out and decorated. The staff could not do enough to make our stay pleasurable, and the food and atmosphere were amazing! I will definitely be rebooking! Highly recommend this gorgeous inn set in truly beautiful surroundings.

Very modern and new facilities in the rooms. good location and plenty of parking.
The staff were quite unhelpful during our stay. We felt as if they were always too busy to help us with any queries. There was also no information about breakfast or dinner options and the pub was fully booked with non-guests for lunch and dinner which was rather frustrating.

Breakfasts were excellent, as indeed were evening meals.
Room was large and well equipped, really nice rural views in all directions. Those views reflected the location, deep in picturesque countryside.
"Deep in picturesque countryside" = "could have done with satnav to find it on the first evening!". No real complaints about this though.
Although the name should have provided us with a rather large clue, we didn't actually appreciate the extent to which dog owners were catered for. It didn't present us with a problem though, all dogs very well behaved.

Great Hotel with superb staff and everything was just perfect. Our dog was treated like a queen and totally loved the place. I cannot recommend the Jack Russell high enough. The whole Hotel is superb and a real gem
