Everything! I honestly cannot fault this place. I went there based on the photos and the fact I just needed a night away somewhere and unwind. The building is wonderfully maintained and decorated. The ambience is very welcoming and relaxing. The greeting at reception was excellent and check in easy, I was even shown to my room rather than ‘it’s that way, you’ll work it out…’ The room was perfectly sized for a couple. Comfy, warm, well decorated and maintained. Very high quality throughout. I had a separate little room with a chest of drawers and the tea and coffee, so the bedroom was just a bed room. Which was nice as it didn’t feel like a hotel room. The tea and coffee. With everything top spec I was surprised to see the usual everyday brand coffee sachets. For 30 seconds I was disappointed until I saw the cafeteria and a jar of fresh ground coffee. It even had home made vodka in bottles…This is a quality establishment The bar. It was BUSY. They had a function on but the service was clinically efficient. They were so fast but they all still smiled, chatted, were welcoming. It wasn’t just a sausage factory. It was proper service. I’m sure it was Adam (it’s been a week, sorry if it’s not!!) was on his A-game. The beer selection was top. Dinner was EPIC. Had the special (Grouse) which was advertised with buttery mash. I don’t like butter so chef did new potatoes which I think were probably a better choice. Pudding amazing. Had breakfast next morning and again, service could not be faulted. Quick, but not the quick where you think they are trying to get rid of you. Just professionally quick. All this and it was not expensive. If you think it is, just give this place a go and reassess that assumption when you have experienced it. And if you are worried about noise from the pub then you need not worry…the ducks are noisier…

A beautifully appointed pub in an iconic & pretty Norfolk village (church, village store, pond etc) The pub layout is extraordinary- the rooms so very well designed for style and comfort. We stayed 3 nights and were fortunate to be upgraded to the Mole End room in Barrack House immediately adjacent to the main building - which had a separate sitting room and a fantastic bath and shower cubicle. The standard of food presented from the kitchen was top drawer - not one meal could be described as anything other than perfect. Head Chef & team are commended! Lastly, the staff..........EVERY member of the Dabbling Duck was so super pleasant in every way - they were efficient, focused, well trained, roles discharged faultlessly - it was a privilege to be a part of this experience - we cannot wait to return!

Great location in picture-perfect English village, comfortable room with view over village green, good menu - not cheap but reasonably priced for the area and the quality. Loved the free home-made vodka sample! (NB: I was walking the Peddars Way, which was not too easy to "stage" as it doesn't pass through too many towns/villages. For a three-day journey, Great Massingham and Watton seemed to be the best two stops, so the DD is excellent from this perspective.)

We picked the DD off the internet - and it was a find! Beautiful old pub, gorgeous location. The evening meal was one of the best we have had. Our (upgraded) room was still quite small, but delightfully furnished and very comfortable. And where else would you be left with a carafe of home-made vodka! Staff were friendly and helpful.

The property is gorgeous. Has been sympathetically renovated to a high standard retaining the charm of its original period. Quality of food is extremely high and service from all members of staff also very high. Village is beautiful, quiet and relaxing.
