Lovely spacious room, thoughtful staff allocated us a room we could access after 11pm as attending a wedding nearby, appreciated this! Well furnished and comfortable. Excellent breakfast.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

The Dabbling Duck set in a beautiful little village fulfilled our expectations of a relaxing night away. The menu choice in the restaurant was excellent and the staff delightful. Our dog Polly was made to feel very welcome with a dog bed, water bowl and a few treats.
