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 👌

Wonderful Experience
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 hotel, will be back.
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

Lovely couple of days
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.

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. For about £34, 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.
