7-9 Leighton Road, Leighton Buzzard, LU7 0AA, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
tasty , prompt and perfectly poached eggs. Staff were very polite and very attentive, One of the most relaxed breakfasts i have ever had.
United KingdomWe only had accommodation ,the room was adequate ,the bedding was clean ,fresh and comfortable
United KingdomWe used this hotel to go to the F1. The room was small but cute. Tea, coffee & water facilities which I enjoy in the room when staying away. The staff were very friendly, top class service and seemed to be enjoying their job which is lovely to see. Also one evening they had a pizza van next to the pub garden which was a nice and quirky surprise. Thank you
United KingdomThe Dukes is a lovely country pub. Enjoyed our stay for the night. Staff are very friendly.
United KingdomThe rooms being separate from the main building meant we could come and go as we pleased without worrying about disturbing anyone. The area is very nice and quiet and there is a bus stop right outside that runs to the centre of Milton Keynes via the stadium - very useful for us as we were going to a gig there! We found our room cosy and the bed comfortable, and the staff were lovely and helpful.
United KingdomThe room was quiet and comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The staff were really friendly
United KingdomRoom 5 was good, breakfast was nice, the burger the night before was good, the local clientele were chatty
United KingdomNice friendly staff and locals, room was warm and tidy
United KingdomEasy to find, the pub had a great atmosphere, some gentle live music in the evening. The room was small but had all the facilities I needed. It was lovely to find somewhere that accepted dogs and didn't charge for them, REALLY good! The room was in a mini motel style so I was able to park right outside it. Lovely and warm and plenty of hot water.
United KingdomBed very comfy, just a general welcoming, comfortable place to stay!

The Dukes, formally The Dukes Head, is an 18th century, grade II listed, thatched roofed village pub. It has been recently refurbished and transformed into a gastro pub with an A La Carte restaurant, traditional bar menu, real ales, open fire and 6 en-suite bedrooms.
The project has been a labour of love for sisters Sarah Smith and Jo Carter who would love to welcome you into their abode. The pub’s recent restoration facelift has included restoring the open fire, re-equipping the bar and restaurant areas, and refurbishing the six bed and breakfast rooms. Owner and Landlady Sarah Smith has 14 years’ experience in the hospitality trade including a spell as restaurant manager at the Michelin-starred restaurant in Oxfordshire.
We are located in heart of Heath & Reach village opposite the village green and the glorious clock tower. We just 1.5 miles from Leighton Buzzard town centre towards the A5, 15 minutes drive from Milton Keynes and less than 10 minutes drive from Woburn. We're just 15 minutes drive away from the M1 at Junction 13. There is a bus stop right outside of our front door on the main road and the busses will take you to Milton Keynes City Centre or to Leighton Buzzard or surrounding areas.
