Lovely little 'hidden' gem
Very friendly welcome, given a quick tour of the property, then shown to our room which was a lovely double with a view across the Green to the church. Small bottle of Homemade vodka was a nice touch and a pleasant nightcap. We had breakfast and an evening meal there, both excellent. There is also an outdoor wood fired pizza option at weekends, which also was excellent. We had a lovely stay. The village is pretty and you are only 20-30 mins from the coast and several other local attractions. We would highly recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The location, atmosphere in the pub, staff friendliness and service was wonderful. Our room was a bit tight (family room only one left so booked so that we could each have a bed) with no room for baggage but realise to squeeze a double and single into a room in an old building would always be a challenge. Breakfast was delicious (although would love a muesli or granola that wasn't so sweet) when it came but a huge wait. Evening meal was delicious. Would definitely stay again though if passing through.

Dabbling duck stay
Excellent from beginning to end. Lovely location and pretty village. Team without exception friendly and helpful throughout. Food good both evening meal and breakfast. Also good choice of drinks. Room good well decorated clean and comfortable. We're in room 1 and probably would benefit from black out curtains although likely less of an issue most of summer so far!! Other than curtains nothing to fault would definitely stay there again and recommend.

Nice stay
Enjoyed the Dabbling Duck and the staff were lovely, but rushed off their feet Room 7 Garden Room was ok but too close to people sitting outside in the beer garden. Bedroom was lovely and reasonably clean but on closer inspection you can see it needs a deep clean of the doors & skirting boards/ floors. Would still stay again as it wasn’t a deal breaker and great food.
