10/10 Exceptional

Lovely vibe, relaxing and functional. Excellent staff, I was helped with my bags. The room was a little cold int he evening and I couldn’t find the phone number for reception to ask how to turn on the radiators. Rugs on the floor would be lovely to step out of bed onto. Food all delicious.
Helen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Attractive rooms and pub/restaurant. Didn't sleep well. The room was cold and the heating was not on. Staff kept leaving emergency exits open for access or to have a smoke. A lot of noise from the adjoining room.

We were very impressed with The Duke on the Test. The food was excellent and the accommodation was also excellent. Can’t fault it will definitely stay again and recommend it to our friends
Phil, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Despite being adjacent to a main road, the pub and accommodation were delightfully tranquil. The beverage options at the bar were more than adequate and the dinner was terrific, both the food and the service. Having access to a walking path alongside the River Test and an associated wildlife area was the cherry on top of the cream on top of a most exquisite cake!

Absolutely lovely! We enjoyed our two night stay at the Duke on the Test! The room was immaculate! I saw staff cleaning another room and from what I can see, they go above and beyond in how they clean each room! We ate three meals at the pub and the food was delicious. The staff were very helpful. Overall, we had an amazing time and we hope to return again one day!
