We stayed for 2 nights with our children over the half term break. The hotel has been beautifully refurbished, and the setting and gardens are stunning. But... they are just not quite there, it really needs a general manager with good hotel experience, for a hotel that wants to be a 'world leader'. Whilst we where there the lounge area... more

Doxford Hall is not an old country house trying to preserve the glories of a past era. It is an old building housing a new hotel with its own unique ambience. It is the result of a superb vision, lovingly brought to life over a long period. The woodwork throughout the hotel is a tribute to the work of contemporary... more

We were really looking forward to our four night stay, and quite happy to pay £180 a night, anticipating the highest possible standards of food and service.

Lovely pool and we tried out the massage treatments too. Breakfast... more

I was really looking forward to my trip to Doxford Hall as I had been there as a teenager when it was an old people's home so i knew it was stunning but from the very moment i stepped into the hotel i was not impressed, receptionist was very cold and did not make us feel welcome, we checked in... more
