Disappointed.
Pros:

The grounds were beautifully well maintained and most staff were very polite and accommodating.

Cons:

- Matradee was very rude and passive aggressive to us and two other tables within the restaurant in the evening. (All other well lovely and accommodating).

- Rooms were well decorated, but not very clean. Both rooms had dirty walls and light switches and Room2 bathroom wasn’t clean.

-Room6, mirror was cracked, temp was above 26C with a fan/window open, matress filthy and old. Walls filthy.

-Room 2, had a hole in the window, filthy light switches (which I had to clean.) walls filthy.

Other rooms with the hotel very dusty/with cobwebs (library and front sitting area). In morning, the public corridors and rooms were very strongly scented with either cleaner or air fresheners. Was very over powered and off putting.


Overall- for the amount of money charged, I would expect at the very least for the rooms to be clean and a reasonable temperature. I didn’t sleep at all, and wouldn’t recommend staying here again.

We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return to Doxford Hall .
Pros:

We enjoyed the choice of the buffet at breakfast,there was so much to choose from which kept us going till dinner time. The staff were great so helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The full English breakfast was disappointing,the bacon was quite tough and the sausages were too firm for us.
We had two evening meals in the bar lounge and for us there wasn’t enough choice.
