The classic combination of warm colours and traditional Georgian features create an intimate, restful environment for a pre dinner drink in the library or other other equaly impressivly decorated rooms. The chef has created an extensive choice of exquisite dishes to be enjoyed in the restaurant which overlooks private gardens and woodland providing an elegant backdrop as you dine. They stock many wines from around the globe and the experienced staff can guide with the ideal bottle to accompany your meal. Although the quality and surroundings reflect in the price, it is well worth a visit for that special occasion.

You made it all very memorable.

Some of us began with a selection of teas, and others chose coffee. The finger sandwiches were delicious and included turkey and cranberry sauce, egg salad, and cucumber & cream cheese. My friends raved about the scotch eggs and sausage roll, but I enjoyed the salmon and dill roll. The buttermilk scone was perfectly tender and was served with jam and clotted cream. Desserts included a macaron, a chocolate orange profiterole, an apple crumble tartlet and Christmas cake. All were perfection. Staff were very attentive. Paid parking is adjacent.

The atmosphere is just right, not too stuffy but does have class. I'd definitely would go again whenever I'm back visiting.

I've stayed at the picturesque Dunston Hall twice now for work purposes and can confidently say…read morethat it's not a bad place to stay in Norwich. It's close to Lotus Cars (where I need to go when I'm in the area) and Norwich centre (for the social/after-work) and the train station. It's affordable, especially if you book online. Typically 70GBP a night. The breakfast is your typical British selection in buffet format. Cereals, breads (croissants, muffins, toast), beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, hash browns, fried toast, sausage, bacon, fried eggs (although rather oily), a selection of fresh fruit, juices ranging from orange to grapefruit to tomato, coffee and tea. The bar and lounge offers some decent food selections (I recommend the chicken caesar wrap) and decent drink selection. The bartender didn't know what a Shirley Temple was though... maybe it's really just an American drink? Rooms in the main building are much nicer and modern than the rooms in the other buildings, I've found, but every room has free internet hookup available. The bathrooms are typically clean and the towels are ok (not as soft and sometimes I sense a strong bleach odor). The place is generally a maze and the numbering system with the rooms doesn't make sense either. I've heard golf is quite big here since they have a huge course, but I've also heard of stories where the golf course was sabotaged years ago for whatever reason... weird. Service is decent, but not as friendly as I would like... maybe that's just the British way. I've never experienced great hospitality in Britain anywhere. A clear example is that my card key didn't work when I walked down to my room with my luggage. So I went back to the front desk and asked them if they could help fix it... well, this happened another 2 times and as you can imagine, I was quite frustrated after a long day and having to walk all the way to my room and back to the front desk 3 times (WITH my luggage, mind you) when they insisted the card key worked every time. No one offered to go with me and they wouldn't change my room. Eventually they gave me a new key which did work, but I was really pissed at them for being so unhelpful and unapologetic. It's probably a cultural thing... I would never expect this to happen in any hotel I stayed at in America though... or even in Japan or China. Overall though, it's a good place for the price. Can't beat the price. Although next time I'm definitely going to consider somewhere else if I have to stay for more than a week.

I have to give Dunston Hall a 5/5 for several reasons. First the British cuisine they serve is…read moreamazing. It is the best British cuisine I have ever had in my three years of living in England. Every lunch and dinner meal is a buffet that serves an entire ham, turkey and beef roast. The meat is always cooked to perfection. They have a chef that will slice it for you. Always freshly vegetables and mashed potatoes. Lots of vegetarian options. Always a fresh bar with pasta, rice, cold appetizers such as fresh fish, craw fish and pate. The deserts are always lovely. The breakfast is always spot on. A variety of eggs, sunny side up and scrambled. The traditional British breakfast spread. Black pudding is always served, but I am still scared of eating it. They also serve meals off of a menu, I never tried the menu, but I always opted for the buffet because it was always a lovely spread. The food alone gets 5/5. The bar is quite nice. They have a wide variety of beers on tap. They have several bars across the hotel. The hotel is actually a mansion turned into a hotel. It has a home feel to it. The beds are extra large King sized beds. They are so comfortable. I wanted to take the bed home with me when I left. One night I stayed in just so I can lay in the bed all evening and night. The rooms are very cozy. They also have central air conditioning. The bathrooms are nice. They have a nice selection of tea and coffee in the room (located in the closet). I wasn't so crazy about the pool and hot tub. I could have done my whole trip without spending time in there. They do have a sauna and a steam room. The hot tub isn't very hot and there is a ton of chlorine they put in both the pool and hot tub. I have never been a fan of in door pools and this could be the reason. This review does not account for the pool and hot tub. They also have a nice gym. It is upstairs and downstairs. A wide range of cardio equipment; rowing machines, elliptical, treadmills, sit down bikes and a stair climber. Also lifting equipment. I did enjoy the gym. They also offer a full service spa. There is a beautiful golf course on the property, I'm not a golfer, but if I was, I would go here to golf so I can sleep and eat in that beautiful gothic style mansion.

Holiday Inn, Ipswich road is almost Jekyll and Hyde in its service, in my experience. While the…read morehotel itself offers much of what you would expect from the Holiday Inn chain at a reasonable price, and the staff at reception are perfectly helpful and pleasant, the restaurant and breakfast area at this place leaves a lot to be desired. The service at dinner time was incredibly slow, with what seemed to be one waiter serving every table who would disappear sporadically with no indication of when anyone's meals would arrive. The food was slow to arrive, and for the price, not particularly good quality. We attempted to purchase some wine, only to be brought the wrong bottle, and our attempts to order water were either forgotten or ignored. Other guests, including young children, were very dissatisfied with the service. Breakfast was a similar affair, although the buffet meant you were less reliant on the staff per se, we were kept waiting at the entrance to the restaurant for a table, despite the dining room being virtually empty, and then brought through the entire dining hall to be made to stand while the waiter cleared our table (we had assumed that was the original purpose of making us wait outside), primarily by brushing crumbs off of the table and onto the floor. A number of breakfast items such as marmalade and white bread were often missing and not restocked throughout our time there, similarly with the hot food. The service for drinks was also poor. All in all, if you want to stay at a Holiday Inn in Norwich, it is probably best you don't pick this one. Although the hotel itself is more or less what you expect, it would be safer to eat out every night/morning, which is yet more expense.
