The Dabbling Duck

Parking outside and car park available, super friendly staff, immaculate room and very dog friendly

Great food. Cosy room - they call the garden room. I think these are the best ones to stay in - with chic design, like you see in the photos.

Didn’t appear to be any heating throughout. Our room had a portable radiator. Black mould around the bath tiles. Shower head needed descaling. All a bit tired looking. Tv wasn’t connected to internet. Disappointed with the valentine menu choices and we could only get a table at 6pm even though residents. Breakfast on the second morning took 45 minutes. There was obviously an issue as no food was coming out from the kitchen at all during this time. Not enough resident car spaces and additional spaces was a muddy grass field ☹️☹️. We had heard good things but something has clearly gone wrong. Staff were friendly and helpful but everything just felt a bit odd.

Lovely food, lovely rooms, very friendly. Good range of beer/cider on tap including duration beer, aspalls and neck oil. Lovely traditional pub with open fire would highly recommend. Staff are very welcoming.

Great bar area with good beers and nice staff. Lovely room (though bed a bit softer than I’d really like), plenty of space & spotless. Bathroom - large so would benefit from a small table or shelf for putting your washbag on. Small bottle of welcome homemade rhubarb vodka supplied in the room which was much appreciated! Easy free parking. Dinner was excellent and our server, Annie, was fabulous. We both had the beef burger which was a fabulous lump of meat. Highly recommended.

There was no heating and the accommodation was dated

Probably the best overall stay I’ve had, room excellent, staff the best, food great and overall really good value

Lovely hotel, friendly and cosy. Good food.

Another trip for work and was recommended the ‘Dabbling Duck’… However I’m really unsure as to why! The outside and location is good, plenty of parking on the common area outside. Inside your straight into the bar, which has a cozy country feel. I checked in and was shown to my room. A triple bed setup which was ok, apart from the poor location of the TV, this was mounted to the wall blocked by the bed rails so you’d have to stand to watch it unobstructed. The bathroom was ok, however the shower controls didn’t work very well and I couldn’t turn down the heat without the fear of breaking the controls. Went down for my booked table, and service was ok, very friendly waitress saw to me for the evening. That’s unfortunately where the good bits end.. the menu is for the want of a better word ‘random’ I can eat pretty much anything and like many cuisines but this was very much not for everyone. I struggled with a choice and ended up with a Malaysian beef curry, which to be honest was pretty bland and unseasoned. I chose the cheese board for desert and this again was very different to every other I’ve had. The cheese was ok apart from one being

Had a wonderful stay at The Dabbling Duck. Our room was lovely and clean with a great view of the Village Green. The staff, who were extremely busy serving Sunday lunch were very polite and helpful. We had a booking in the restaurant, where the food was amazing, as was the breakfast. Over all, this is a stunning place to stay and chill, absolutely loved it, 10/10.

Had a two night stay to attend a wedding at a nearby venue. Excellent choice

Spent two night at the quirky Dabbling Duck, location in a pretty village is ideal for walking and exploring the area by car. The hotel staff are really friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Room was small but there was a mixup at booking so on arrival we had to be allocated a different room as we had a dog. DD is super dog friendly and they are welcomed in all areas. Food is very good with plenty of variety, breakfast is hearty and all dietary requirements are catered for.

We had a wonderful 3 nights stay at The Dabbling Duck, from the warm welcome on arrival to checking out all the staff were welcoming and helpful. Food and drinks were also outstanding, especially the wood fired pizza's.

Excellent village pub with great staff and atmosphere that matches its surroundings and in keeping with good old inn values. The chef provides a great variety of flavors and quality dishes all served hot and on hot plates. The stairs are somewhat challenging for the elderly and mobility impaired. I didn’t realize when booking that I could have requested a ground floor room. My bad - should have read the small print. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Super friendly staff nothing to much trouble.fantastic room and view.

So pet friendly. Would def try for the garden rooms as steep stairs to the pet friendly room above the pub but we booked late and only stayed one night so wasn’t an issue. Staff are always so friendly , atmosphere is great and good delicious. Def one of our favourites

Amazing place to stay. Very friendly and comfy rooms and great food

It was a beautiful hotel and the service was excellent. We stayed in a triple room which was unfortunately too small for 3 adults but we only stayed one night so managed.

Friendly staff delicious food and perfect cocktails! Love the style and decor, particularly the album covers on gents loos!

Second visit after a 2 year gap. We didn't think that the general standard was as good. Breakfast, help yourself choices, relied more on dried fruit. The 'main course' choices were just as good though. We stayed in the 'pigeon' room (No 7) which was right next to the children's play area and the army of very noisy kids (thanks to their parents) easily penetrated the double glazing and shutters of our room. Probably our fault for booking a stay in the school holidays. Made the most of using the DD as a base and 'DID' a lot of N. Norfolk. Evening meals as good as usual.
