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.

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!

We weren’t made aware before our stay that the kitchen closes at 4.30 on Sundays and only charcuterie boards are available. It was ok for us but don’t know what vegetarian guests do! Everything else was good about our stay. Comfy clean quiet accommodation and tasty breakfast options.

Overall an ok stay but some issues
It was overall a pleasant place to stay, but some issues. Firstly it's primarily a restaurant really. So it feels like it's less of a hotel, and like they don't exactly often expect people staying there for very long. Maybe just a night or two. So it doesn't quite feel like they have all the usual things that you'd expect with a hotel. There's no air conditioning. So during the summer, it was almost unbearable in my room. I stayed there for 8 nights, and it was so hot that it was difficult to sleep at night, despite having my window open during the day, and also having a fan. And I said to the management about it, (both during and) after my stay, and whilst they were apologetic, they didn't/weren't exactly doing anything for it to be a better stay for me regarding that. And like no suggestion of any compensation about from the staff or the manager afterwards for example. The staff were otherwise friendly though. The surroundings of the hotel are nice, and the my room was otherwise nice, and the photos are accurate.

Five star pub restaurant with rooms
We were looking for a base to tour Hampshire. The Duke fitted the bill. This is the perfect pub, restaurant with rooms. The pub is superb, the food was amazing, rooms high quality, all tied together by wonderful service delivered by a brilliant team.

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.
