What our customers say
We had our wedding at the Duke and found the service was exceptional. Staff were easy to deal with and made every effort to assist us in having the best day possible. The food was great, with guests having a choice of menu options. Our room was lovely with wonderful views of the water. Breakfast on the Sunday morning was great too. We will stay again for sure.
