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.

Dear James,We are so pleased that you found our hotel and restaurant to be excellent. It is always lovely to hear such positive feedback. We will hopefully see you again!Kind Regards,Claire
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.
Our 1st time

Dear TulioThank you for taking the time to write a review - it is appreciated. We are so pleased you had a lovely time with us and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Kind regardsThe Duke on the Test
A really nice property with a buzzy bar and restaurant. The room was exceptional with a super comfy bed and good facilities. Nice that the large parking area was close to the rooms aswell for unloading. My room even had a small outside space with table and chairs.
Restaurant menu was really good with some local dishes. Finally would like to say the girls running the restaurant were all very pleasant and attentive. Will be back

Dear TonyThank you for taking the time to write a lovely review. We are so pleased to hear that you had a great stay and hope your daughter enjoyed Peppa Pig and Paultons. Kind regardsThe Duke on the Test
Great country pub with a modern twist. Friendly staff and helpful. The food was amazing and exceedingly delicious. Stayed over and the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable which made me very happy indeed a great nights sleep. Lovely products in the en-suite.
Very clean tidy rooms with pristine decor. Good location. Comfy king bed. Somewhat dark by the tea making area. These are very minor issues of an otherwise excellent room. Restaurant serves excellent food too!
This would have been an exceptional stay except for one thing and that is ; In the new wing of the property the sound proofing between the our room and the one above was non existent. We were on the ground floor enjoying a peaceful evening until the occupants arrived in the room above. They were not speaking unduly loudly yet we could hear every thing they were saying to each other.
Nice comfortable room. Well-designed if on the small side. Really nice dinner but understaffed at breakfast which slowed service. Friendly young staff.
Wow what a lovely place to stay and the food is very good aswell.
Staff are so friendly and welcoming and service is great.
Lots of parking but if i had to say one negative thing it would be the wifi, it was very slow and very hit or miss in areas, but overall what a great place
Really lovely place to eat and sleep in a picturesque part of the world. The actual rooms are cordoned off nicely from the pub itself which makes them nice and quiet. The staff were all very nice and accommodating. A huge recommend.
Nice dog walks,nr to Romsey and new forest area and local attractions.Food at the hotel was very good ,room was very clean,bed comfortable and good shower.Overall a very comfortable stay.
Great hotel. Everything was 5 star. We couldn’t fault it. Would definitely stay again.

This is a great pit stop for local exploring. The room was beautiful, and everything was very clean. The pub food was good too, and the breakfast was great. Staff were all really really friendly! All round 5 star! Will definitely stay again.
Stunning location and a fabulous place to eat and stay, service was fantastic, and we were looked after by really friendly staff throughout. Food was top draw, definitely be back in the new year!
Amazing place to say. Friendly helpful staff, beautifully designed and decorated throughout with unique eclectic touches and a superior food menu with attention to detail. Was there just one night on business but will be back to stay again for a short break hopefully.
