Overall Ratings & Reviews The Dabbling Duck

Suffice to say, if we're looking for somewhere to stay in the area again we won't need to look any further than The Dabbling Duck. We were well looked after from start to finish. Superb accommodation and lovely food - especially the breakfast which was perfect.

It's a very busy pub so quite noisy. The food is good, but the room we had was very small and cluttered with a radiator (which could have been put away in the cupboard) and a large fan. The biggest problem was that there was no internet and the management attitude was - "Well it is North Norfolk!" Which is not really acceptable in 2025.

A wonderfully charming and friendly place. Great service and staff.

lovely inn with good food in a quiet village and central for North Norfolk.

This was our third stay at the Dabbling Duck, always enjoyable. Very good food, service and a lovely pub and setting.

We would love to stay again, really enjoyed it. Room was comfortable, dinner & breakfast both relaxed and beautifully cooked. Dog freindly, so was great for us. The space is understandibly put aside mostly for diners with tables set up, but the bar area could really do with being larger and more comfy seating. Posh, obnoxious kids took over in the bar which was annoying, but that is not the establishments fault.

Lovely village, comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful.

We loved the vibe and all the quirks that make this a lovely place to stay

Super stay as always. Staff very helpful and cant do enough.

Stunning looking building and a stunning location. Most of the staff are great, helpful and friendly apart from one man (who seated and served breakfast in the morning) looked fed up and borderline rude. Apart from that, it was a lovely stay.

Such friendly staff

Really clean, comfortable room. Nice soaps, tea, coffees and complimentary vodka! Evening meal was delicious, steak cooked perfectly. Breakfast equally great. 10 out of 10

Lovely atmosphere, food excellent and staff very welcoming snd helpful would recommend to anyone in the area

Very welcoming, quirky and unique decor ...Great! Would we stay again, definitely!!!

What a fantastic location!

Great location for visiting north Norfolk. Lovely village and walks from the pub. Food good quality in pub in the evening, as was included breakfast

The Dabbling Duck exceeded our expectations in all respects. We were shown into our beautiful room in the house adjacent to the inn. The room was spacious and comfortable with a large sofa as well as king size bed. Our en suite bathroom was bigger than many hotel rooms we have stayed in and far more luxuriously appointed. Dinner in the inn was great - excellent service and good choices and breakfast also first class. The location was good for visiting nearby National Trust and English Heritage places as well as the North Norfolk coast.

The room was smaller than we've had before but it was lovely all the same. Breakfast is always worth looking forward to...

Excellent pub with excellent food, lovely rooms. Carpet in the hall up to room very dirty and cleaner said she could not scrub it, because of what it was made of. I thought a bit impractical if that was the case. The rest of the place was spotless. The food was excellent. Area and atmosphere great. I would definitely return.

I was already familiar with the excellent food on offer at this pub, and it was a pleasure to finally stay for a night too.
