Strenneth - Dog Friendly B&Bs, Hotels, Inns & Hostels in Diss, Norfolk

Strenneth is a family-run bed and breakfast nestled in unspoiled Norfolk countryside a short drive from the market town of Diss. Housed in a fully renovated 17th Century Grade II listed building, the property combines historic charm with contemporary comforts across its main house, a single-storey courtyard bedroom wing and self-catering cottages.

Location & History
Set amid rolling fields and woodland, Strenneth lies just five minutes from the acclaimed Bressingham Gardens and ten minutes from Diss by car. It also enjoys convenient access to the Snetterton Motor Racing Circuit. Of historical importance, the house was built on the perimeter of the former Fersfield Airfield—a top-secret U.S. bomber base during the Second World War—where U.S. serviceman Joseph Patrick Kennedy was stationed prior to his tragic loss over the Suffolk coast.

Accommodation
Guest rooms within the courtyard wing and adjoining cottage units are individually decorated and furnished for comfort. Each space features full central heating, tasteful décor and modern amenities. The on-site self-catering cottages, available in one- and two-bedroom configurations, provide well-equipped living areas popular with families and groups. Guests enjoy ample, secure parking for all vehicles.

Comfort & Amenities
Every room and cottage comes complete with a television and hospitality tray for light refreshments, including tea and coffee. The extensive breakfast menu, served in the main house, is designed to satisfy all tastes and can be adjusted to suit most dietary requirements. Guests who book directly by phone or via the website benefit from reduced rates on bedroom stays with breakfast included, while self-catering guests can tailor their own meals in the cottage kitchens. Booking direct also provides a more personal service than third-party agents.

Pet Friendly
