Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort is a great place for a family getaway. Our deluxe family room was perfect for us and our kids. The hotel is also pet-friendly, which was ideal since we brought our dogs with us. The pool and spa were nice and the beds were comfortable. Unfortunately, there were a lot of other guests who let their kids run around like it was a playground, which was very disappointing for us and other guests who wanted to relax.
