Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort
Norwich
Dunston Hall is a former Elizabethan-style mansion built in 1859 has restored to its former glory. The estate is over 150 acres of woodland, parkland and a lovely golf course and is a peaceful retreat in the Norfolk countryside. The recently renovated hotel has a range of rooms and suites, from modern, fresh rooms in the annexe to luxurious four-poster suites in the beamed old building. Style, comfort and elegance prevail no matter which style of room you choose. The hotel has an indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, gym and a spa offering a variety of treatments. Outside, as well as the golf course there is a full-sized football pitch. For dining there is the choice of the Brasserie Bar and grill for an extensive buffet or the Terrace Bar for a lighter meal and some drinks. For golfers, the highlight is the 6,275 yard, par 71 golf course which runs around the estate. It is a parkland course with mature trees dotted around and strategically placed bunkers to keep you on your toes. Dunston Hall is part of the QHotels group and is a client’s favourite for a short break.

About The Area
Wymondham is a charming Norfolk market-town base for a relaxed UK golf break, especially for golfers who want history, countryside and easy access to Norwich without staying in the city. The town has medieval streets, independent shops, cafés and the impressive Wymondham Abbey, giving it more character than a simple overnight stop. Its self-guided heritage trail takes around 60–90 minutes, starting from the Market Cross, and links together the Abbey, medieval streets, Wymondham Abbey Station and green spaces such as Toll’s Meadow and The Lizard.
For golf, Wymondham works best as a base for nearby Norfolk courses. Barnham Broom is one of the strongest local options, with the Steel and Pennink courses, practice facilities, grass driving range, academy holes and short-game areas. It offers 36 holes across two courses in summer, making it useful for a multi-round short break.
Another handy option is Bawburgh Golf Club, set in Norfolk countryside, with both 18-hole and 9-hole golf available. It gives visitors a more flexible extra round, especially for mixed-ability groups or golfers who want something a little less formal than a full resort day.
Away from the course, Wymondham has a lovely low-key appeal. The town has a market tradition dating back to a charter issued by King John in 1204, with a weekly Friday market still held today. It also has access to the Mid Norfolk Railway via Wymondham Abbey Station, giving the area a nice heritage-travel angle.
For Hashtag Golf Travel customers, Wymondham suits a peaceful Norfolk golf weekend, a Norwich-area short break, or a touring base for playing courses around Norfolk. It is not a big resort destination, but for market-town charm, nearby golf and easy access to Norwich Airport, it works very neatly.
