We had a fantastic stay at the Duke William, excellent staff, food and rooms. The staff are so friendly and efficient. It was great to see how they have a lovely relationship with both the locals and newcomers.
The food was amazing and a great choice. We really enjoyed our breakfast both morning and will definitely be visiting again.
Thank you to all the team at Duke William for such a lovely stay.

The Duke William is an historic pub with rooms above. The food is amazing, staff are friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is quaint and the villagers are delightful. Betty, the pub dog, belongs to a villager, but spends her evenings at the Duke William. We highly recommend this adorable and relaxing establishment.
What a fantastic place to stay. A country pub set in a beautiful village. The pub overlooks fields. Our room was great -comfortable with quirky bits! - including a selection of books on the bookshelf to a little bottle of a liquor. Loved the pantry on the landing with fresh milk, bottles of water and extra toiletries. The breakfast is superb with a good selection of delicious items. We chose to eat in the pub - again it was absolutely delicious.
My husband and I stayed for one night, a last minute booking. The staff were really helpful and informative about the area, food was superb and the village of Ickham was beautiful and immaculate.
Lovely location. Nice room with shared terrace for hotel guests which was delightful. Good food and pleasant staff. Would definitely go back.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property desperately needs external tidying and painting which considering the location is a shame. We are surprised the local council have not enforced this.
This has to be the friendliest pub in England. We felt we belonged to the community 😃. Fantastic service, absolutely delicious food made from local produce and cooked by a very skilled chef. The place was full of character, even down to creaky floorboards. We loved it.
Exceptionally good stay. Comfortable warm room, superb breakfast, very courteous staff.
But HOTEL.com site EXCEPTIOALLY POOR. Took ages and got very contradictory informaton when we wanted to change date. Took ages online, chatbot and phone. Will not use Hotel.com again.
A lovely comfortable room with some nice touches (continental breakfast left outside room, Nespresso coffee machine and access to unlimited milk and bottled water). Earplugs also supplied, note - these were required as the noise from the pub below was loud until closing time.
Lovely country pub with friendly welcoming staff .Room was comfortable , clean and tastefully furnished with good facilities .Excellent dinner and breakfast . Highly recommended!
Perfect stay at the Duke William. Lovely room with comfortable bed and en suite. Tastefully furnished. Coffee machine and ample tea /milk included. Warm and spacious shower. Immaculate cleanliness throughout. Enjoyed a delicious breakfast with vegan/vegetarian options. Would highly recommend.
All-round excellence though if I were to nit-pick a little milk with the tea [in the room] and guidance as to how to open the hemi-spherical coffee containers wouldn't have come amiss. But we're looking forward to our next visit when I hope rabbit casserole will be on the menu.
