The Dabbling Duck Information
Description
The Dabbling Duck is based in Great Massingham, one of Norfolk’s most attractive villages, and located approximately 40 miles west of Norwich and 13 miles east of King’s Lynn. It has one of the most impressive greens in the country with several large ponds (home to the dabbling ducks!) and is a short drive of about 25 minutes from the beautiful beaches Brancaster and Holkham. all of which makes The Dabbling Duck an ideal base for an unforgettable stay in one of the prettiest and unspoilt parts of Norfolk. The Dabbling Duck has 12 guest bedrooms. All rooms are en suite with bath or power shower and tastefully decorated and furnished to high specification, equipped with flat screen TV’s, tea making facilities, hairdryers, toiletries, and soft white towels. Five rooms are in the main pub building, three rooms are a short walk from the main house to the barns in the garden and have super king double beds and we have a further four superior king size rooms in our property adjacent to the pub. Some but not all rooms are dog-friendly, please check with us when booking. Check availability for our three bedroom holiday cottage Duckling Cottage next door to the pub overlooking the village green call us for more information.
The pub is run by Mark Dobby and his wife Sally along with Matthew Bulley, Manager and Dale Smith our Head chef who has been with us since 2016. We have two local business partners Steve Kilham and Dominic Symington who purchased the pub from the council and started the Dabbling Duck journey in 2006. Mark joined in 2013 and with his knowledge of having worked in hospitality locally for some years had a vision to push the pub to where it is today.
