1 / 8Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort
Norwich, Norfolk
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
An Elizabethan-style country retreat from 1859 outside Norwich, with an 18-hole golf course and dogs welcome in the Terrace Bar and Bunkers Bar.
Dunston Hall dates back to 1859, an Elizabethan-style country retreat tucked away in rural Norfolk with 18 holes of golf, an ELEMIS spa and three dining venues. Dog-poo bins are provided in the grounds and the house rules for dogs are set out clearly, so you can bring yours to a dog friendly hotel that has planned for them.
Dogs stay in rooms allocated for them, two at most per room, and a booking with a dog is made by phone through the Contact Centre rather than online. A dog must never be left alone in a bedroom, and outside your own door a lead stays on. The team try to arrange cleaning for when you and your dog have left the room, and if they can't, they'll ask that your dog is crated and supervised by you while the room is refreshed. Some areas aren't suitable for dogs even on a lead, so reception will point you in the right direction.
All the bar areas take dogs, among them the Terrace Bar and Bunkers Bar, which overlooks the golf course; dogs are not allowed into the main restaurant areas, and that is where The Brasserie serves breakfast and dinner. To eat from the restaurant menu, ask a team member, who will be glad to help. On a Sunday the carvery brings turkey, beef, a weekly guest meat and a homemade pie.
Superior rooms have their own outdoor patio garden, and the Manor House rooms keep characterful period features. The health club adds an indoor pool, a Jacuzzi, a steam room and a sauna. For your dog, Whitlingham Country Park Broad Circuit is 4 miles away by Wildpack's count, while Hopton-on-Sea Beach is 19.3 miles off, and Wildpack has no dog friendly beach nearer than that.
