Dilham Hall Retreats

Rural aspect and wildlife location - great historic area with a plethora of things to do - walking, canoeing,visiting the North Walsham and Dilham Canal area- friendly staff.

Peace and quiet. Lovely view from our Pod nice walk along the canal Hot tub. Quick response when we had a question concerning the hot tub. Very comfy beds.

Not what I didn't like, it is more of a suggestion, toilet roll holder so you don't have to twist round as it can't be left on the floor because it gets completely wet in the whole wet room when having a shower. And instructions to the microwave would be helpful.

So peaceful,clean and user friendly

I want to highlight quite a few negative points from my 1st wedding anniversary weekend stay at Dilham Hall Retreats (“luxury glamping”). We stayed in the Kingfisher Pod on the Tonnage Bridge site and what it looked like was one of the older versions (there were 5 new pods and 5 older pods) the first thing we noticed was the poor upkeep on treating the wood on the pod/hot tub and decking - green and slimy. Secondly, after travelling and noticing we had no signal, we wanted to connect to the Wi-Fi and watch the smart TV which also needed Wi-Fi connection - to find out the Wi-Fi didn’t connect to any device we had, so we were unable to use our phones or watch TV (which is great if you’re not planning on using technology, but if you are wanting to use your tech, you’ll be disappointed, especially as it states on the website/booking.com that ‘Wi-Fi is available in all areas and is free of charge.’). Now we come onto the hot tub, which is meant to be the highlight of your luxurious stay, right?! No, as I stated above, the wood hadn’t been treated so it was all green and slimy, paint had come away,it was dirty (my husband had to clean it all, flush it out as the heat exchanger pipe was blocked with muck which would of made it dirty and taken longer to heat up.) We were unable to fit our wine glasses in the wine glass holder on the hot tub as it’s advertised on the websites/booking.coms pictures. We were provided with 1 bag of wood which was only enough for the first evening, we had to contact the owner to request more wood (kindly he gave this to us free of charge as they are usually £6 a bag, which seems unfair after spending so much on our stay). We struggled opening and shutting the hot tubs fire door when lighting and adding wood, it got very hot and the latch didn’t catch properly - this made it extremely difficult when it was raining/windy.
