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.

Lovely place to stay

We stayed in the house next door to the pub and it’s an amazing place to stay. The rooms are spacious and very well decorated. If you eat in the restaurant try and get a table inside the restaurant and not in the bar area as this was quite noisy.

Perfect country pub/hotel

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.

One of our favourites

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
jacqueline, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Dog friendly in all areas.

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.

Lovely place!

We stayed as we were going to a concert nearby. Perfect for what we needed. We however were surprised how nice it was and didn’t take full advantage. We will be back for another stay and a meal etc!

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.
