Another excellent stay at The Duke on the Test in Romsey. The staff, the service, the rooms, the cleanliness all excellent. The staff are very friendly and can't do enough for you. It won't be long before we are booking in again! Highly recommended.
Christine, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
