On booking out we were not asked if we enjoyed our stay as was the person following us. We had to pay for parking in the hotel carpark the receptionist did not advise us to go back in the lift to the first floor we asked another member of staff how we got onto the carpark. The room however was very spacious

The Duke is an absolutely stunning building but it needs serious investment. All looking a bit tired. The staff were lovely, the location perfect and our stay overall was fine.

Staff were very welcoming and attentive throughout our stay. The room was large and comfortable however the mattress was quite uncomfortable and the pillows weren’t the comfiest even after requesting an additional 2. Great breakfast and value as it was included in our room rate. Great location, easy to access town and local sights

I booked a single room for 2 nights and was allocated room 105. My first impressions of the hotel were quite good as it is a beautiful old building, however the room was not great. The window frame was rotten and a constant breeze blew through as the weather outside was foul, the net curtain was half the width of the window and the curtains were old and different lengths. The bed was OK and also the bathroom. Although there was a kettle, the tea bags, milk and sugar were not topped up, so not much use on the second day. Breakfast was very limited. No fresh fruit or yoghurts were available throughout my stay and limited pastries and cereal selection. So some things were OK, but plenty of room for improvement.

This is not a brand new hotel but a building with character. Great value for money, a good choice at breakfast, attentive staff. Clean, warm and hospitable and a convient location for before and after events at the pavilions.

Bit dated in decor, room was small and basic. But for one night it was fine. Breakfast was over priced. Staff were lovely. If you just need a place to crash, or expecting a fancy hotel then it’s ideal.

January 24, one night at the Duke
We only planned to stay one night but given the age of the building and style it was quite impressive. Excellent front desk service. However, in some places it is showing its age and is in need of fresh painting. Some carpets are also antique. Parking at rear is adequate but condition of rear of hotel lets it down a bit. I dont like the 1st come first served parking, you should be able to book in advance especially comming from 3.5 hours away and no local knowledge.

This is second visit in few months and added extra night on this weeks stay - this is a warm, clean, welcoming hotel with wonderful staff and they are a credit to the hotel. Can’t recommend highly enough and will be a regular guest. The food and rooms are amazing but it is the staff that make any organisation - and every one every visit has been genuine, kind, caring, friendly, welcoming and go above and beyond. Staff stay here as well - that says a lot. Thank you to staff and it’s rare for me to want to leave home!

Disappointing. Good points: friendly staff, decent breakfast, clean rooms. Not-so-good points: tired and dreary décor with limited facilities. Room issues included windows that didn't close properly causing strong draughts within the room. Toilet flush didn't work properly. Bathroom taps stopped working completely at one point (although they were fixed promptly). It's clear that the hotel needs some considerable investment to bring it up to the building's imposing stature.
