Despite being adjacent to a main road, the pub and accommodation were delightfully tranquil. The beverage options at the bar were more than adequate and the dinner was terrific, both the food and the service. Having access to a walking path alongside the River Test and an associated wildlife area was the cherry on top of the cream on top of a most exquisite cake!

Absolutely lovely! We enjoyed our two night stay at the Duke on the Test! The room was immaculate! I saw staff cleaning another room and from what I can see, they go above and beyond in how they clean each room! We ate three meals at the pub and the food was delicious. The staff were very helpful. Overall, we had an amazing time and we hope to return again one day!

Well located for Romsey and surrounding area. Clean and comfortable room which also had a patio area which was nice. Large restaurant area with indoor and outdoor options though a shame it didn't open a little later on Sunday.

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.

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.
