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.

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.

Beautiful hotel & rooms.

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.

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.
