8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2026
The location was very good - and the staff was VERY friendly and helpful. The ambience of THE DUKE and DELI and surrounding facilities was amazing and very charming! The accommodation itself was very good and comfortable - and we had a delicious meal at suppertime in the restaurant! (Except for the live music - a chap at the piano played the same tune the entire evening - over and over again ... This was a killer!)
Breakfast did not go so well ... We arrived at 08h45 and it took VERY LONG to replace the finished fruit etc Then we waited quite awhile for the finished hot-breakfast like bacon and fresh bread to be replaced .... We ordered coffee and tea afterwards which took 25 minutes to arrive - without milk, sugar and teaspoons. Staff member then went off to get what was missing, and that took another 15-20 minutes. I stayed at THE DUKE before, in August - and had similar experience at Breakfast time ... (I think BREAKFAST-time needs some more attention and supervision) And at the piano was the same 'pianist' playing the same tune over and over again, like the night before ... I must say this was torture! But other than the less pleasant breakfast-experience, we had a wonderful and comfortable stay!! THANK YOU!

The staff were lovely. The rooms 17.18.19 were gorgous.
The restaurant was very slow. We were a table of about 8 people. It took over an hour for breakfast. . The staff were lovely but the time waited for food was way too long. At diner 2 of us got our food and we had eaten ours before the food arrived for the other guests. The restaurant was not busy.

we liked the room, very comfortable and beautifully decorated
The service in the restaurant is appalling. We were a table of 8 and we waited a very long time for dinner and breakfast, and the meals came out at different times with at least 10 minute intervals. The breakfast eggs were completely overcooked and rubbery, the rest of the meal was okay. Breakfast the second day was a buffet, there was a shortage of cups, glasses and plates. The meal was better.
