Lovely character hotel in very peaceful surroundings. The staff were just lovely , friendly and chatty . Our room was in a good location and it was easy to get to the restaurant , bar and spa . The room was a good size and the towels were nice and soft, the hot water plentiful too. The only slight dent in the room was the condition of some of the fixtures and fittings . The carpet had quite a few stains on it , the shower settings were missing parts and the towel radiator missing coatings . That said everything worked just fine . The breakfast was good and the service excellent, good choice of fruit and juices . Hot food was tasty especially the eggs Benedict . The spa was enjoyable, the pool warm and the steam room and sauna just right . All in all an excellent and enjoyable stay .

Pretty solid

The stay was lovely staying in the cottages on site which were really cosy and felt like no way a disadvantage being a 2 minute walk from the hotel, maybe nicer as feeling more peaceful. The only thing I'd say about the room was that the tv wasn't smart so we couldn't log in or cast using streaming apps. It's not essential but I think a lot of people wouldn't mind going back to their rooms in the evening and watching a film. We were told by Reception Staff that the tv's weren't Smart, so this was across the board. The breakfasts had a lot of choice and staff were very professional. Unfortunately my friend's scrambled egg wasn't cooked properly and appeared to have been microwaved. The rest of the food that day and next day were fine though. The Spa has a friendly member of staff and an array of facilities. The only thing that was a minor problem is there is a mixed changing room and only two cubicles, which let us down a bit as we were waiting quite a while for other people to dry and get changed, seemingly oblivious anyone was waiting. The cocktail bar in the hotel has some lovely drinks from local companies such as Alnwick rum. Overall I'd recommend staying as the Hotel is stunning and very historic and we wandered around taking photos and got lost in the maze! I think the gripes around the outdated tv's in the rooms that aren't smart and only two cubicles in the spa slightly undermined the prestige of the hotel as you need to get the basics right. Would stay again.

Very Faded Elegance

I think this hotel is living on a reputation which expired some time ago. The decor is dated, not everything is as clean as it should be, the room we stayed in, although lovely and quiet it not being in the main building, left a lot to be desired on the electrics front. The breakfast food and staff were wonderful. They are obviously having the same problems as many hospitality venues in that they do not have enough staff but being shouted at by the barman in the cocktail bar to "come and get your own drinks as I've got a queue" did not enamour us to him. It's not a cheap place to stay and I don't feel that I could recommend it to anyone at this point in time.
Scary electrics with bare wires and four gang sockets. Really? In a hotel which boasts such pristine conditions? There were so many electric switches which didn't seem to do anything.
Tatty furniture.
Rips in curtains. Did I really pay so much you stay here?

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.
