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.
