The Jack Russell offers a tranquil escape in a quiet village setting, with some rooms featuring views of the nearby church over fields. Guests often compliment the immaculate and beautifully decorated interiors, especially the comfortable beds, and many find the breakfast to be a highlight, particularly the tasty bacon and sausages.

Acceptable Stay but Some Issues

The room was pleasant.
The breakfast service was slow. It took a long time to get served. The cooked breakfast was also too oily for my liking. The cereal lacked loose sugar and they offered cubes instead.

The location was beautiful. our room had a large scenic window. It opened onto the balcony. this provided amazing views across the countryside. i found the staff to be friendly, i felt very welcome.
i noticed the shower base could be improved. when wet, it became quite slippy. i think a non-slip surface would enhance safety.
