The Iron Duke website presents nice images of well maintained rooms with a designer feel but the reality is far from the truth. Splashing on a few designer paints and cushion covers doesn't compensate for the basic rooms. Parts of the carpet are threadbare, mattresses are of indifferent quality, repair work remains unfinished, broken draw handles are not attached properly... More

Can thoroughly recommend if you are looking to stay clear of the rip-off chain hotels. Very very friendly and helpful staff which is essential for any stay. Next to the sea. More

We stayed at the Duke for two nights, we wanted something close to the beach and cheap. We weren't expecting luxury so weren't really disappointed but the hotel wasn't much cheaper than some bigger chain hotels which would have had better facilities. Things that were good - Fried breakfast was nice, but only available on Saturday and Sunday - Staff... More

We stay here for one night this past weekend. The rooms are very basic but clean. The Hotel seems to be in the midst of a makeover or at the least a touch up. The food was great value for money and we had a lovely evening in the pub with great music and a lovely Fire. The staff were... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Although the smell of gas was away from the guest rooms and not in the end serious I took the decision to evacuate the premises until such time as Transco were able to confirm that the premises were safe. Believe me the decision to evacuate was not taken lightly and... More

I recently booked 2 rooms for a total of 8 people with this hotel through their own website. When I received my confirmation email I noticed a note at the bottom of the page stating groups of 6 or more people would be refused entry on arrival, at which I immediately phoned the hotel as I had not noticed this...

When you phoned to say you had booked for a group of 8 and paid the deposit before reading our policy on groups and Hen Parties (which is the first thing you read at the top of our booking site before anything else is mentioned) I was very sympathetic and refunded your money straight away. You then suggested we should... More

We arrived here fairly late on a Saturday evening when the pub was very busy so our late arrival was probably a bit of a nuisance. Despite this the staff were very helpful and got us sorted out in our room in double quick time. Breakfast was a causal affair - just what we needed - and very tasty. Would... More
