Delicious Dabbling Duck
The Dabbling Duck was excellent throughout and the staff are so friendly and although very busy they always found time to talk with guests. It’s obvious there are good chefs here as the quality of food is very good. I would recommend the garden rooms - the only problem we had was a shower head that was loose and leaking causing water pooling in bathroom which didn’t unduly affect our stay - Steve and Sandra Gregory

Another comfy stay at the Dabbling Duck
We have stayed before, this time we stayed in room 7, Pigeon, which is an outside room. We stayed two nights, we found the staff very friendly as always, and the food was great quality. We had breakfast both mornings, lunch one day and dinner the other. Room was comfy and clean, with a very nice big bathroom. The only thing we were disappointed at was the reduction in sofas and relaxing areas near the bar since our last visit, which has been turned over to dining. Totally understand this, it's a business after all! But reduces/eliminates comfy space for residents to relax. There are some in the Barn, but that was in use for a private function Saturday night.
