Would not hesitate to book again.
This was our second visit to this hotel. We got a free upgraded room giving us a king sized bed. We were pleased with room size and facilities. Only criticism l could make is the room carpet was well warm. Room clean and good overall. Food and menu very good. Adjustments were made for dietary requirements. Parking good. Convenient Park and Ride for Norwich only a few minutes drive away. Had a very enjoyable 4 night visit and would not hesitate to book this hotel again.
Best in the Norwich area...
Set within sweeping, immaculately manicured grounds, the formidable Dunston Hall takes your breath away on first sight. Inside, it successfully blends the service levels and facilities you would expect from a modern hotel with the feel of a stately home, which is no easy task. The standout feature at Dunston is the staff, all of whom go the extra mile to ensure the quality of your stay. Special mentions must go to Will on Reception, a young man whose professionalism will ensure a great future in hospitality, and Kristie, the breakfast supervisor, an actual force of nature who will make sure the most important meal of your day goes without a hitch. My colleague and I first stayed here due to the hotel's location whilst on a business trip. We now plan those trips to factor in a stay at Dunston. Hopefully, that speaks for itself.
Lovely spa day. Beautiful place with the best staff!!
Lovely day, really relaxing and enjoyable. Staff are all fantastic but a massive shout out to Imogen, beauty therapist, for such an amazing treatment. Highly recommend!
A Hassle-Free Break
If you want a hassle-free, relaxing break then this is thee place for you. With friendly and efficient staff, a comfortable room and 'no-nonsense' dining Dunstan Hall is the ideal getaway, An added bonus is that the hotel is located a stones throw away from a Park and Ride for Norwich; hence erasing all problems connected with city centre parking.
Fabulous stay and very accommodating
We had an overnight spa package stay booked , unfortunately due to becoming unwell and not attending my spa treatment or using meal vouchers. I was so disappointed and emailed The spa , spoke to management who were amazing and so accommodating. We re attended the spa for our treatment , which was fabulous, relaxing and already planning our next visit in July . Staff are very polite and helpful . My spa was completed by Imogen who was so professional, kind and made me feel very at ease . Would recommend to anyone who wants to go somewhere so accommodating and professional.
Relaxing break
Had a lovely room with a patio, spa area lovely and relaxing. Evening was good and lots to choose from for breakfast. It recharged are batteries!
Birthday
Stayed here with friends for my birthday and had a lovely experience. The restaurant staff were amazing and really made the day special. Lily was especially kind and patient, and Elliott was great too—They kept checking in to make sure we were all okay. Really appreciated their effort!. The hotel was immaculate. I can't wait to visit again
Imogen’s lovely head, scalp neck massage
I booked a head scalp and neck massage, and wow it was sooo good, I had a very lovely young lady called Imogen who did my treatment and she was absolutely wonderful from start to finish, fully recommend her and the treatment, thank you 🙏
Awesome carvery and great staff and service
What a find and on our doorstep so we are really blessed! The wonderful Ellie and Dominic served us at the restaurant wonderful carvery. The food, drinks, atmosphere and quality as well as the staff and their approach was excellent. I highly recommend this place! Can’t wait to visit the spa too.
An amazing good relaxing stay with spa. Thank you Claudia
I booked two nights over the Easter weekend and opted for a spa on the Saturday morning which I purchased for my partners birthday. And wow what an experience. I work in an office and was quite tense and have recently been experiencing a stiff neck in the mornings. However I opted for the back, neck and face massage. Claudia gave me the best massage that I’ve ever experienced, she managed to release all the tension and my stiff neck has mostly gone. The hotel stay was peaceful, relaxing and a goods nights sleep was received and much needed. Although we were woke up early by children running through the corridors but that’s down to the disrespectful parents not the hotel. We opted for an evening meal in the restaurant on both nights. The food and service was fantastic. All food was delivered on a good timely basis and served in a professional manner. Great service and good quality products were used. Breakfast was ok, however the food was a bit hit and miss, cheap sausages and they were horrible. Meanwhile both mornings we had to ask for clean glasses and cups and had to keep waiting. I appreciate it was busy but I visited 8 years ago and we had the same issue. (Dear management please buy some more crockery so the breakfast staff can be more efficient) it looks bad on them however they need the resources to be able to carry out their duties.! In all we had a good relaxing stay, caught up on plenty of sleep. The staff throughout were amazing and cannot thank you all enough, for an amazing stay. I look forward to returning so we can do it all over again.
Great hotel, great dinner, great staff, great atmosphere. Superb all round experience!!!
Our 1 night stay at this wonderful hotel was a superb experience and we will definitely be back! From the smooth check in, to being stunned by our amazing room, to an excellent evening meal followed by drinks in the glorious bar, to a great sleep in luxury bed followed by a top notch full English breakfast, we couldn’t have expected any more! Special mention to all the staff who we met, each and everyone is a credit to the place!!
Golf break
Golf stay with my son Great value for money Lovely hotel and really friendly staff throughout the hotel and the golf club
Relaxing stay 😌.
Lovely stay at Dunston Hall Hotel . Clean and comfortable bed . Rather high pillows ( a choice would be nice) . Breakfast super choice 😋. Kristie and Vishal ( reception) were really helpful and went the extra mile to make our stay 👏. Spa clean and everything working well .

Arla Farmers District Meeting
Dairy Farmer conference at Dunston Hall. Erika was very accommodating and was more than happy to help when we wanted to change the schedule and mealtimes around. Thank you !
Lovely treat
Attend the spa rooms for a facial was wowed by the decor and attention to detail . My therapist was Imogen who treated me with respect and was very well presented and knowledgeable. We also had lunch in the terrace which was presented lovely food was very good and fairly priced and again staff were great
Lovely retreat
The hotel was beautiful and the room a good size for a family of four. We enjoyed the pool and putting range. My only caveat would be that the casual dining restaurant was catering to a party as well, so the food took forever over dinner. My curry looked like it could have been a pre-made meal. The breakfast was lovely.
Spa treatments with Rachel
Beautiful spa treatment with Rachel last weekend. After a relaxing day of swimming, using the steam room, jacuzzi, and lunch I had a deep tissue massage and facial which were absolutely divine. Rachel is an exceptionally skilled therapist who is welcoming, professional and calming. I felt revitalised after the treatment, the icing on the cake of a lovely spa day.
Excellent Spa massage
Had a Spa day at Dunston Hall today. The deep tissue massage and body scrub by Amy was fantastic. I have had numerous massages before and I have to say this was by far the best I've ever had. Amy was very knowledgeable and an experienced masseuse. She identified exactly where my tight knots were in my shoulders and manipulated them away. I feel like a new woman. I will definitely be booking another massage with Amy. My mum had Claudia and was equally impressed by her experience and knowledge. We wasn't so impressed with our light lunch choice. We both had a smoked ham bloomer sandwich. The ham was the cheap thin plastic looking type which had no flavour and definitely wasn't smoked. (I wouldn't buy this type of cheap ham in the supermarket ) You would think a place like Dunston Hall would be supporting local farmers and celebrating local produce. I was expecting the type of ham that's hand carved off the bone from a butcher and full of flavour! Very disappointed. The waitress apologised and didn't charge us for our coffee. Bearing in mind our Spa day cost £348!
Would certainly recommend and stay again
We did not visit for golf or spa but were really pleased with the other facilities - a well equipped gym, nice pool, classy restaurant with great food and buffet breakfast. Also a good food menu in the bar / conservatory area. The hotel is set in an impressively large building, a longish walk from our room to restaurant (which we appreciated), however we feel sure that a request for a room closer to reception or restaurant would be arranged. We stayed for 3 nights Fri, Sat, Sun and were given a room upgrade, many thanks.
