WE HAVE BEEN RATED A 5-STAR INN BY VISITENGLAND

We are delighted to share that we have been rated a 5-Star Inn by VisitEngland! This rating comes just months after opening our doors with a newly restored and superbly fitted-out historic pub on the banks of the River Test.

Mark Pinn, General Manager of The Duke, says "It’s an amazing achievement to get 5-Stars on your first visit. The team are very happy and want to continue living up to these amazing standards. This also shows the high quality of the new 12 luxury bedrooms with en-suites, and the beautiful redesign of The Duke on the Test."

According to the VisitEngland website, their Quality Assessment Services use “strict criteria” to “check the levels of services and facilities offered to determine which accommodation type is awarded which star rating. Each year, every aspect of an accommodation is thoroughly inspected from the efficiency of the booking process to the level of service."

“Cleanliness is the most crucial element of any assessment and minimum standards, particularly at the higher star ratings, reflect consumer expectations.”

We at The Duke on The Test are extremely proud of this award. We are always pleased to welcome our customers to our extended bar and dining areas, cosy outside patio space, 12 luxury bedrooms with en-suites (including dog-friendly rooms), double aspect log burner, snug and library area. There is something for everyone, whatever day of the week.

If you would like to enjoy some traditional food with a modern twist, book a table at The Duke by calling 01794 377500 or email eat@thedukeonthetest.co.uk. For a dreamy night’s stay at The Duke, take a look at our rooms (including Super king, Twin and Accessibility-access).

Testimonials

The end result of the work is a triumph; every aspect of the site and the building looks stunning and works together to make optimum use of everything there.

The Hot Smoked “Chalk Stream” Trout was simply divine and the tastiest dish I have experienced in a very long time.

The fresh food served was a perfect match for the setting; completing the experience for us on the evening, and we will be back!

What amazing place to visit. This will now be my number one go to establishment.
