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.

Disliked: Amenities
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.

Lovely place in a beautiful 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.

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.
