The Duke is a comfortable and well equipped country pub with rooms. The location is good. With easy access to the New Forest. The food in the restaurant was very good especially the pies. Breakfast selection was good and promptly served. Staff were very accommodating and pleasant. The rooms were well equipped and nicely decorated. The bathroom had all you needed and was clean. The residents car park was separate from the normal pub car park and had designated parking for each room, which is great.

I can’t really find a fault with the property. Access to the river Test is limited via a narrow somewhat overgrown footpath. Which wasn’t clear when we booked,

The bedroom was lovely and had been decorated and furnished beautifully so that it had character, not just bland. The night was warm and they had provided a fan which was very welcome. The bathroom had a big shower so you could move comfortably. The bed was huge and very comfortable.

I thought the breakfasts were rather pricey but I suppose Hampshire is an expensive place. We arrived on a Sunday and dinner stopped being served from 5.30pm. I would have liked to try their food but I expect they needed a break! It was very busy when we arrived. We ate in another pub.

Friendly staff and service, very spacious and comfortable bed. Located right by River Test - we had a lovely early evening walk along river and visited Fishlake Meadows. Excellent evening meal - imaginative, delicious and beautifully presented. Breakfast was also of a high quality.

Would have liked choice of cereal and some extra toast and marmalade with cooked breakfast, although the boiled eggs I had were very good indeed. Tea selection in room was limited to two bags of breakfast tea, although I was very willingly supplied with herbal option, once I asked. Lighting for bathroom mirror could have been brighter.

Nice hotel in a good location, staff were all polite and helpful, room was quaint and comfortable, with a extra large bed, the whole feel to the hotel is nice and as I previously said the staff were more than willing to helpo in any way they could.

in the bathroom the sink tap sprayed out to the side due to an ill fitted aerator ring, this just needed screwing up to make it tight, same in shower the shower head was loose and just needed tightening, minor things but should have been sorted on cleaning the room. the breakfast, although nice does not need to be made to look fancy, put the beans on the plate not in a small pan you are just going to tip out, and sorry, if you put bacon please use decent back bacon and not streaky bacon.

Great stay here for 3 nights. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Evening meals were superb. Although breakfast i found disappointing, but that could be just personal choice. Room was very nicely appointed, however, the show was very small and not very powerful..
