De Vere Dunston Hall Hotel

I will keep it brief. Impressive property, public areas well furnished and inviting. Rooms small, unbearably hot, no air con and window only opens an inch. Fridge/minibar not stocked and didnt work, extractor fan in bathroom extremely noisey. Rack rate is laughable - its worth about £85 a night, rack rate is double that. Good breakfast. Price of drinks absolutely extortianate. £4.50 for a SMALL glass of wine! - Take your own.

We stayed here after a birthday party at the hotel, for two nights. We were upgraded to a de-luxe room, which was roomy and had a very large comfortable bed. However, the room was very cold and the A/C did not work the first night and the housekeeping staff said this was because another guest in another room had complained that their room was too hot and a staff member had turned off the heating at a central point to a block of rooms. Even after this the heating/AC was very temperamental and there were no instructions in the room on how... more

I grew up in norfolk, down the road from the hotel and always wondered what it was like. I went to a wedding reception at the hotel which was very well organised and the food was good. In the main bar there was a decent selection of proper beer (london price and IPA) as well. The room was medicore though, the bed was a standard size double or thereabouts and the pillows were worse than a travelodge... The bathroom was average... All in all, it wasnt dirty, but it wasnt worth 115 quid......

Have stayed here twice, and both times have been let down by the little things. The hotel is in a beautiful setting, adjacent to a golf course. There are some really excellent, friendly staff; but there are a few rude ones as well. If you can get a good deal, then this hotel is worth a visit.

I booked three rooms here for a Saturday night in May - a family occasion - five adults and a 6 year old. The price was close on £200 per room but the place looked lovely and I thought it would be a treat. On first blush everything looked fine, stunning building, beautiful grounds. I was horrified by the rooms, hot stuffy ground floor boxes with the smallest hotel bed I have seen for thirty years. I immediately asked reception for a change of room but it wasn't possible as they were full - indeed I was told they had turned... more

Shaun from Castleford, Yorkshire UK. We have just returned from a short break - 2 adults and 2 children in a family room. We stayed in the new wing which is fabulous! The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. We will definitely return - a superb hotel in beautiful surroundings.

Stayed here overnight with my husband, although it was a business trip. Room was fine - the bed was very comfy with soft sheets (not highly starched like some places!), but what we liked very much was how friendly thestaff were, & the fab swimming pool & gym. I have to say that many a private gym would be proud of such facilities - we kept finding more & more rooms opening off each other with more equipment in each. The steam room & sauna are great too. Food wise, we ate dinner & breakfast there - both were very good - the carvery filled us... more
