Overall Ratings & Reviews Doxford Hall Hotel & Spa

Really nice grounds, excellent pool for size of property. Staff were excellent. Carpets in the room could be replaced.

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

Lovely hotel, plenty of space, great atmosphere, lovely grounds. The breakfast was a little limited and the spa are felt a bit municipal but was just what was needed.

Hotel was very ornate and a beautiful setting for a wedding. A bit dated and worn in areas but that makes it charming. Too warm in the bedroom and couldn’t turn the bathroom radiator off which provided all the heat. Bed was comfy. Carpets needed to be cleaned. Gym had very basic and minimal equipment and floors were dirty and looked to have not been cleaned for while. Reception staff very friendly and welcoming.

Very nice hotel; comfortable and welcoming. We were attracted by the good deal offered. Food was good but daily specials would have been a welcome variance. Shower head in bathroom had black on it.

Warm friendly welcome from all staff.nice room very warm and cozy.the hot tub was a little bit of a let down no real bubbles.

An amazing place with beautiful hotel and gardens. Dinner and breakfast options are really good, food was delicious and with good variety of choice. We loved the room which is spacious and nicely decorated.

Reservation was booked to a lodge type room separate from main building rooms. When arrived was given a room within building. Was quite disappointed with this as this was booked specifically for my stay and expected to be staying in private room away from main building.

Room, building and staff great although the spa could do with being updated with individual showers, shampoo and conditioner and costume dryer.

Stunning hotel set in picturesque grounds , great food and service

Lovely hotel staff efficient

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 👌

Hotel is situated in a stunning Georgian Gentleman’s residence in its own estate. Just a short drive from the A1 route and easy travel to various sites from the hotel.

Absolutely wonderful, staff were most helpful, the setting is second to none, gardens, views etc. Dining in the George Runciman restaurant was relaxed, a really lovely dining experience. Safe, secure parking in the grounds just a short stroll from reception. If you want to treat yourself to something special then Doxford Hall should be top of your 'bucket list'.

Lovely spacious rooms. All the little extras in the bathroom. Nice swimming pool.

Really lovely hotel and super staff. Breakfast very good and lots of choice. Dining room a little formal, perhaps offsetting the tables instead of in them being in rows would improve the ambience.

Waiting staff in the restaurant in the evening were dreadful. Very poor customer service. Did not know the wine list. Felt rushed to order. Had to send main course back as it was an insulting portion of cod loin ( two inch by one inch)for £30! No alternative offered as apparently kitchen closed. Manager returned the original dish which had been sat for ten minutes and said he would reduce cost by half price!! I refused the offer and therefore had nothing to eat. It was my partner's birthday meal so he and our friends ate alone. We then went to the bar and received equally poor service. The beer was flat and the bar man very off hand and grumpy. We asked if we could buy some nuts/ crisps at the bar. We were told to go up to the top floor and use a vending machine! We were told we would need to get changed at reception first! The room was sweltering and we couldn't open the window because the generator outside was so noisy. Air con did not work. Spa bath was not working either. The staff at breakfast were very professional and delivered the standard of service you would expect for this hotel and price. However the lack of consistency would deter us from returning

A lovely place to stay in a wonderful part of the UK

we had a lovely stay in the coach house seperate from the main building. It was beautiful. The grounds are extremely well kept. the main hotel is gorgeous Had a quick peak in one of the bedrooms and it looked lovely.Lots of little rooms where you can find a cosy seat. Breakfast was fab. Staff were lovely. Pool is a decent size. A little bit of chill music would've been nice. steam room/ sauna were fine. Didnt use the spa treatments or have evening meal there. Look forward to visiting again.

We booked this hotel on our jouney home as we were too tired to continue. What a fabulous find .The hotel is lovely, very relaxing, excellent breakfast. We didnt have an evening meal. Gorgeous grounds, a maze! Friendly and helpful stay. We will stay again.
