Great Hotel and accomodation

Great hotel. Everything was 5 star. We couldn’t fault it. Would definitely stay again.
Susanne G, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall, generally very good and comfortable stay but the bedroom was a little on the warm side (even with the window open) and the wifi never really worked. Staff were friendly and helpful. Evening food was very good and the staff were very attentive to whether or not guests had any allergies. Breakfast was also good and well cooked but quite limited in there being no self-service continental option - you had to order this as your breakfast option from the menu. All in all, an enjoyable stay in a good location. Would recommend to anyone looking for accommodation in the area.

A really well presented property with a welcoming pub / dining area. Evening meal was excellent. Spacious room with quality fixtures and very comfy King bed and also had French doors opening onto small patio area.

The Duke on the Test was a lucky find and we were so pleased with it. Pleasing to the eye if you stay overnight you have your own parking bay. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.we were very warmly greeted. Our room was very comfortable and clean.nice and quiet . Beautifully decorated. Breakfast was very nice lots of choice. We would definitely recommend and we would definitely return again.
DENISE, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property has been recently refurbished so is very clean and rooms are nice. We stayed for a weekend as at a wedding nearby. The only negative is the price of the food. We live in london but were suprised at the prices in the resteraunt, not cheap. The food is fine but is really overpriced.
Tony, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautifully renovated pub, with near new hotel accommodation added. All done very tastefully & with excellent attention to detail. Mostly, all the staff were fantastic! Special mention to Penny, who always made sure our dog was also enjoying the experience! It truly is dog friendly too, although we really liked the fact that the rooms were spilt between non dog and dog specific. The location is superb too - walking distance into Romsey, partly along the Test River. First time visiting, but will return. Totally recommended!

Lovely short break

Exceptionally clean premises with friendly staff in a beautiful location with good parking. Room was well furnished and in good condition. The restaurant produced some very nice meals although it does appear to get very busy so I recommend an early booking. I would not hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone wanting a quality stay in this part of the country.
