CASE STUDY
Opening in July 2026, Dunston Hall’ s new threebedroom holiday retreat, named The Bolthole at Dunston, is the standout addition to the resort’ s accommodation inventory.
The self-contained space accommodates up to 10 adults, or 10 adults and 2 children and offers a genuinely premium group experience. It features cosy décor inspired by the beautiful Norfolk countryside, a generous living space and a fully equipped kitchen with a central dining table overlooking the championship golf course.
The Bolthole at Dunston can be booked on a selfcatering bed-and-breakfast or dinner bed and breakfast basis. For those seeking a fully elevated stay, a private chef option will also be available, making it equally suited to a group golf weekend, a family celebration, a special birthday to include spa experiences, or a luxury pre-wedding get-together.
Dunston Hall’ s flagship event space, The Sunningdale Suite, has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment, with upgrades to the staging, a complete overhaul of the toilets and meeting areas, and freshly decorated interiors.
What was once a plain paved area has been completely transformed into an impressive drinks terrace with decking, seasonal lighting, planting, and a stylish seating area overlooking the golf course. Perfectly positioned for summer weddings, receptions, and corporate dinners, the terrace brings a‘ wow factor’ to Dunston Hall.
The resort’ s bridal suite has also been elevated to a high-end sanctuary. Located within the original manor house and boasting views across the golf course, the suite is now fully refurbished and features a statement roll-top bath and luxury finishes throughout.
In the spa, a new relaxation lounge provides guests with a tranquil space to unwind post-treatment. The spa, brought back in-house two years ago, continues to grow as a destination in its own right, with further state-of-the-art facilities planned.
The investment comes at a significant moment for the region as Norwich was recently crowned the UK winner in The Sunday Times Best Places to Live guide, a title that’ s putting the destination firmly on the leisure travel map and fuelling demand for premium experiences across Norfolk.
Dean Saunders, General Manager at Dunston Hall Hotel Spa & Golf Resort, said:“ These developments represent a major step forward for Dunston Hall.
We’ re proud to be adding a new dynamic to our inventory. We’ re investing not just in our facilities but in the experiences our guests take away, whether they’ re here for a wedding, a weekend escape, a round of golf, or one of our signature events. Our team is incredibly proud of what we’ ve created, The Bolthole, especially, and we can’ t wait to welcome guests old and new to enjoy everything that’ s coming in 2026.”
The hotel team is primed and ready to welcome guests across the summer season, and even more so, with an ever-evolving events programme for 2026 that includes outdoor cinema nights with summer screenings of Dirty Dancing and The Greatest Showman.
Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort is already looking ahead to the next phase of development, with proposals in progress for adventure golf, padel courts and outdoor lodge-style accommodation.
