The Dabbling Duck

The location is idyllic, you have duck ponds to the left and right of the pub. Everything was great, the accommodation, the breakfast, evening meals and all the staff were lovely and friendly. We stayed previously about 3 years ago and wanted to come back again. Sarah had been our waitress the previous time and it was good to see her again. The beach at Holkham is fab, we had a great day with our dog. My husband left a top behind and Izzy kindly posted it to us.

The Staff were so lovely and couldnt do enough. Great stay.

The weather was humid and quite understandably the old hotel couldnt possibly have aircon and as it isnt always needed quite understandable.

After a full day of travelling from London and working nearby in Fakenham, my overnight stay at The Dabbling Duck was exactly what I needed before heading back home to Nottinghamshire. The village is a true hidden gem—peaceful, picturesque, and the perfect setting for a well-earned recharge. The food was just as impressive. I’d highly recommend the burger—bursting with flavour and totally hit the spot. 🍔

Nothing - I would return again

nice and clean, very helpful staff, nice and quite in a nice village setting, food very good and price not bad at all, drinks good price not over the top like some places i know, nice garden to relax in, parking not a real problem, all good.

Very nice staff, great food (generous portions) good rooms and good atmosphere.

Nothing

Lovely location full of character.

Poorly designed bathroom. No care or concern shown when I spoke to a member of staff when my Father had fallen up the stairs to the bedroom and I needed to take a first aid kit to his room . After leading us up to the room there was no follow up to check he was okay.

The room was perfect, clean, the styling was good, comfortable and attention to detail was lovely, such as glasses in the fridge and milk ready for tea and coffees. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Really it was a perfect weekend.

Sometimes it was difficult to find a member of staff when checking in and out or trying to book a table earlier in the day. It was really on a very minor inconvenience
