Very luxurious and comfortable the only problem we had was the kingsize bed was 2 singles put together ànd the mattress topper did not stop thre being a distinct line down the center which was sometimes a bit uncomfortable. The breakfast gave a great choice amd was vert tasty. The pool was good but closed early 6pm itvwould hzbe been nice to enjoy the facilities

The welcome was was warm and the room large and clean. We had dinner in the restaurant the first night and it was delicious with impeccable service. We had breakfast on two mornings, again food was very good. Two small criticisms from our stay was that the bed/mattress was very firm but this is about personal taste so may be fine for others! We spoke to reception and while they couldn’t offer a different room they did provide a mattress topper which resolved the issue and we were happy with that. The second criticism was that after we drank the water on the first night, it wasn’t replaced by housekeeping which i would have expected. Would definitely stay again though we had a lovely time

A superb, quality country hotel where we felt very welcome. On arrival we were given a friendly ‘tour’ by Alan. The setting amongst manicured gardens and towering trees is stunning. Our room in one of the cottages was super warm, very clean and tastefully furnished. Gym was a plus for us. Breakfast in the stately dining room had great choices. A wonderful stay.

Doxford Hall was in a very convenient location for visiting the area. Although, you do need to drive. The grounds are simply stunning. Beautifully maintained and relatively extensive. The hotel itself is lovely. Super clean, traditional, mostly bright and airy and again, well maintained. We had the four poster room which we loved. It was really big and was well organised. It had plenty of sockets, a USB port next to the bed, bottles of water and plenty of hangers etc. The bathroom was large, modern and spotlessly clean with a shower over the bath. The breakfast was very nice. Not the biggest selection I've seen but something for everyone. It was cooked and served very well. Mostly table service including pots of coffee and racks of toast. We had dinner both nights of our stay as we chose the DBB rate. We ate from the a la carte menu both nights. Every single mouthful was delicious. Beautifully cooked and presented. The house white was good too. There was also a set menu which looked great too. We only used the swimming pool, not the spa. The pool was a good size for a hotel pool. We enjoyed our swim. The changing room was adequate. Robes and slippers available on request (apparently). The staff across the hotel were, without exception, all friendly, open, happy and efficient. The hotel never appeared to be short staffed. We had a great two night stay. I would definitely return and recommend the hotel to friends.

Nice enough

Service from staff was excellent, room was nice apart from small things such as only one saucer in room, heating on full blast which took ages to cool down and dirty drawers. The spa and decor are little dated but nice enough. The grounds are beautiful and clearly very well maintained. Breakfast was good. Bar area a little stale.

A lovely setting and impressive building with a nice outside area. The staff were very friendly but at times slow, especially at breakfast and the bar. The room was very spacious, with nice furnishings. It was however dusty and the carpet was tatty in places. The toiletries provided were minimal and there weren’t complimentary robes or slippers which I was expecting.

Nice & comfortable hotel with space to improvement

In total it was a pleasant stay. It is a nice hotel with a nice atmosphere and several cosy lounges. Rooms and beds are comfortable. But there are some small things which could be better, specially at this price niveau: There were some dust filaments in the chandelier of our room, as well in the balustrade of the staircase. In three nights the towels in the bathroom were not changed (even we put them on the ground). They want to be a wellness hotel. But there are no bathrobes (which is a standard for all other wellness hotels I know).

Lovely staff, gardens, building, few tweaks needed

I thought the staff were superb (very friendly and helpful in every way), and hotel, clean, bright and lovely. My only criticism’s are, on arrival, the back of the kitchen is visable, and needs a quick tidy up. The front entrance is beautiful, but the first thing we saw was the kitchen waste, and parked next to a car with flat tyre which looked as though it had been there for many months! The spa/pool area needs an update/made to look more attractive/luxurious……. It is advertised as a spa hotel but we chose not to use this area! Also the bar area a little depressing/unattractive….. there are other areas which would make a great airy and inviting bar area to sit and meet other residents etc. However, overall a lovely stay and with a few easy wins it could be perfect 👌

Lovely period property

A one night treat. Not the easiest place to find tucked away up a small country lane. Could do with more directional signage. Pleasant reception and checking in/escort to the suite. We booked the king Bed Suite ( Langley ). Extremely spacious with large lounge, seperate bedroom, bathroom and kitchen with beverage making facilities / fridge. Whole raft of empty cupboards. Don't know who would be using them all. No magnifying shaving mirror in the bathroom. Lots of period style furniture in the suite but looking a bit tired and faded. Some curtain hoops off the pole at one window and the curtain itself partially hanging off. Thorough checking needed before signing off for the next guest ! Excellent breakfast ( traditional and Vegan options ) with fruit/cereals/ juices etc. Need to bring the toast with or after the main plates otherwise its stone cold. Doxford has 2 meal options in the evening ; The market menu in the lounge bar but not a lot to choose from.Then there's Fine Dining in the main restaurant. Not a big fan but went with the flow . Had Canon/ Rack of Lamb with a couple of teaspoons of peas and carrot. The lamb was quite rare and amounted to 2 forkfuls., i would say it was a waste of money..Very pleasant gardens with a terrace to sit out and enjoy a glass of wine. Huge maze to try out . Should engage participants for several hours trying to find their way back out. Good heated swimming pool and spa with towels and dressing gowns.

We ended up staying just one night instead of two due to the standard of the room and spa facilities. The room was super rundown; old furniture, marks and stains on everything. The spa was grimy and also rundown. Nothing like the photos and definitely not luxury. The staff were super understanding and very helpful and listened to our concerns. However would not recommend staying at Doxford Hall.
