The Duke on The Test

Beautifully presented

Bathroom too small

Location perfect for Fly Fishing on Test , rooms perfect and main pub also very good. Dinner in the evening was very good . Good choice of started and mains. Staff friendly.

The entrance and exit from. car park, double bend both ways! Nightmare getting in and out safely. Breakfast took alittle longer than expected to be served .

We had the room with disabled facilities which were really good for my partner. Food was excellent.

All good.

Great food nice atmosphere wonderful rooms.

Quite pricey but worth it

Friendly staff. Clean room. Good food

A little bit pricey

Very clean

Nothing

The location was chosen due to the fact that it was close to the wedding venue we were attending, the room (Edinburgh) was quiet & adequately spacious for a two night stay. A variety of options were available for both breakfast & evening meals, something for all tastes I’d imagine. Spacious carpark, umbrellas & wellington boots supplied on request to help with our erratic British weather was a nice touch.

This establishment is severely understaffed, whether or not as a couple we were ignored would be hard to say but, we waited upwards of 20 minutes for drinks to arrive at our table during our evening meal, twice I had to remind staff that we were going thirsty waiting, the food when it arrived was slapped down on the table in what can only be described as nonchalant haste(tired maybe), groups of diners were fussed over , couples seemed to be ignored (or was it just us)! Only 3 members of staff were on duty covering front of house Friday 5th June, covering bar/restaurant/service, so consequently our evening was not a memorable one due to all of the attached, not the fault of the staff on duty I hasten to add , they ran their legs off trying to cope working upwards of a 16 hr day. Saturday 6th was not much different, however there was a certified bartender on hand to keep the bar running smoothly whilst the 2 girls concentrated on table service. Finally, on settling the bill on departure found that we’d been charged for breakfast, apparently no way of checking original booking but,I’d swear we’d pre paid for breakfast (why wouldn’t we) at £360 for 2 nights! Lovely staff, but obviously overworked leads to potentially moody service.

The place is really nice and rooms, although small, are well thought out. Staff were superb and so friendly. Great choice of food and really dog friendly.

Not the locations fault but the footpatch beside the pub is somewhat short and overgrown!

Breakfast was well cooked both mornings - a good choice. Dinner was good too. I found the atmosphere was relaxed. The hotel gave the impression of being very well managed.

There must have been a lot going on in the area as the prices were rather high last weekend.

Lovely old pub with great food, beside an idyllic walk along river Test
