The Duke on the Test

Wonderful Stay! I travelled a long way from Cornwall and arrived late in the evening for just one night. I was a bit worried it might be busy or noisy and that I wouldn’t get much rest — but I was so pleasantly surprised! The room was spotless, the bed very comfortable, and the atmosphere quiet and relaxing. It was exactly what I needed after a long journey. Very welcoming hosts too. Thank you!

I love my visits here , I'm a regular customer the staff make the whole experience wonderful. Rooms are beautiful, food is fantastic. What more can I say

This is our second visit to this lovely pub. We stayed here while visiting the concorde club to see a band. The decor in the restaurant/bar is beautiful, charming and cosy. We stayed in Beaufort room on the ground floor and it was fabulous. It's an end room so it was very quiet. It has a seating area outside looking onto the car park but sheltered by a hedge. The room is spacious and decorated in gorgeous autumnal colours. The bed was so soft and comfortable and we had a great night's sleep. The bedroom and bathroom were spotlessly clean. The only thing I can say is I would have liked some hand/body lotion. It's offered in some hotels. We had dinner in the restaurant which was plentiful and tasty. The cocktails are fantastic. Breakfast in the morning was also wonderful. The staff are so attentive, friendly and efficient. A real credit to the hotel. We will definitely be back again.

We’ve just returned from a weekend break at The Duke with a group of friends. Everything about it was excellent. Comfortable, attractive rooms with huge beds, all very clean. The food was superb and all the staff were smiling, friendly and very efficient. The bar/restaurant was always busy which gave it a good atmosphere. There’s a nice riverside walk along the river Test and the little town of Romsey is not to be missed. Broadlands and NT Mottisfont are close by. We highly recommend The Duke and intend to return.

I had such great attention (solo traveller) from ALL the staff. So much info given during my stay. I started my stay with a lovely Sunday roast. Thankfully I checked the size an realised it was way to big for me. So very kindly the waitress suggested the children's one. It was perfect for me. I then got to have a pudding (pear crumble). Everything was very good. Another diner made a complaint (totally unfair). The manager Lewis came to appogise and also the waitress serving me. There was no need for them to do this but I felt upset they experience this kind of thing. Especially when all the staff go above an beyond. My room was lovely. Very clean. Could maybe do with a brighter lighting. The decor in the room an around the hotel was fantastic. So detailed an carefully thought out. My best thing was the perfect shower. It was so roomy, the holders for you to put your own products (there are mounted products too) was amazing. The shower it self worked instantly at right temperature. No flooding of the floor as some showers do. All in all it was a hi light of my stay?? The breakfasts are served to you from a menu. I feel they may stop lots of waste ie on the self service style. I was made aware this hotel is a great hit with the fishing crowd. And I met some guys really enjoying their time there to do a fishing trip. Parking is allocated via name of your room. I was excited by that but sadly never got my place as always a car in there.? The pub bar closes at 9pm on a Sunday only, rest of the time its 11pm. Now on to the absolute kindness of my room cleaning lady. We bonded so easily. A very kind helpful lady. I wished guests would be respectful to the ladies that do this job. And leave your room pleasant for them to refresh an clean. A very busy pub/ hotel serving great food with great staff who cant do enough for you. I noted so much whilst there.

Stayed for a family birthday celebration. The evening meal was delicious and the menu had a good variety of food to choose from, we all had breakfast the next morning, all were wonderful and again there was a great choice. I had the most amazing sleep the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! Water pressure is great so a lovely refreshing shower. In beautiful surroundings and had a lovely walk along the river, parking was reserved for each room so no issues with parking. There always seemed a lovely amount of guests around to give it a great atmosphere (and they have the best wallpaper in the ladies toilets that I’ve ever seen) thank you to Lewis and his wonderful staff for a most needed break. Would definitely book again.
