“Dunston Hall's Elizabethan architecture, set amidst Norfolk's serene woodlands, makes a striking first impression. The championship golf course and spa facilities promise a relaxing escape, though I'd recommend confirming spa service availability beforehand.

spacious room excellent cleanliness complimentary drinks fabulous experience

The room was spacious. I found the cleanliness excellent. The complimentary wine, beers, pepsi, water, and pretzels were a nice touch. I attended a party night and thought it was a fabulous experience. I enjoyed every minute of it.

The bathroom looks dated and the extractor fan ran constantly. That was a bit annoying.

The grounds were beautiful and well kept. The gym, sauna, steam room, and pool were all enjoyable to use. Breakfast was lovely with a good selection of items (i especially liked the eggs).

The room felt a bit basic. Apart from hand and body wash, there were no toiletries provided. The furniture seemed a little old with chipped paint.

separate sinks rainfall shower

i stayed in a beautiful king room. The room had two separate sinks in the bathroom. i found shower included a rainfall shower head which was very useful.

the signage in the building wasn't great, and it was easy to get slightly lost.
