The Dukes

Catherine C 2 Do not book here Review of The Dukes B&B Reviewed 1 week ago we booked to stay at this venue on 8th December for a 2 night stay which was a gift to us. The room was one of 3 converted stables. The double bed just about fixed in the room with no space to put anything. The fire on the wall looked like it had just been taken out of a skip. Filthy and rusty. Cannot believe that it was safe . When opening the door to the bathroom there was no heating and was colder than outside. The shower tiles had been repainter and chipping off and the state of the room was horrible. When going to speak to the manager she suggested I ran the hot water so it warmed up the room first ! Also told there had never been a complaint 8 years of her being there. This place would not pass a heath and safety inspection. We left and booked into another hotel down the road at 7 pm as we could not stay at the Dukes. I have reported this to Find a gift and they are not interested and have not answered the question as to what was the last date the company Find me a gift made an inspection of the property . Still waiting for a response 2/1/2025 More Date of stay: December 2024

Lovely little place. The room was clean with some toiletry’s , Hair dryer available. Tea, coffee in the room. 1 wardrobe. En-suite ok. Show worked well and temperature adjustable. On comment for us was could have done with a shelf in the bathroom and the extractor fan did not do much and was very noisy. But a great place to say and having the pub serving great food is a bonus.

The room was tiny. The windows and frames were very dirty, the smell from the bathroom drain was extremely unpleasant. The cafetière was too small, the sugar, and other sachets were all placed in the 2 mugs which is unhygienic. No shower curtain, no glass/mug for toothbrushes. Very poor quality accommodation for the high price especially as breakfast was not included in the price.
