Wensum Valley Hotel, Golf & Country Club
Norwich
Wensum Valley Hotel, Golf & Country Club is a relaxed stay-and-play option in the Norfolk countryside, combining comfortable accommodation with two 18-hole golf courses and extensive leisure facilities. Located in Taverham, just outside Norwich, the hotel works particularly well for groups looking for a straightforward UK golf break where the rooms, golf, dining and post-round relaxation are all in one place.
The hotel has 90 en-suite bedrooms and suites, with a choice of standard doubles and twins, family rooms and executive suites. Rooms include Wi-Fi, televisions, tea and coffee-making facilities and hairdryers, while the different room types make the property suitable for couples, societies and larger golfing groups.
Hotel guests receive complimentary use of the leisure club, which includes an indoor swimming pool, gym, Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. These facilities are a real bonus after a day on the course, particularly during an autumn or winter golf break. Beauty and wellness treatments are also available on site.
Dining is available in the Valley Restaurant, with breakfast and three-course evening meals available depending on the board basis selected. The clubhouse bar provides a more informal setting for drinks, snacks and watching sport after the round.
Golfers have both the Wensum Course and Valley Course directly on site, alongside a driving range, golf simulator, PGA coaching and a well-stocked professional shop. Stay-and-play packages can include two rounds with dinner, bed and breakfast, making the resort particularly easy to package for golf groups.
Norwich city centre is also close enough for an evening or day away from the resort, while the Norfolk coast can be reached in around 30–40 minutes.

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.
