Very Faded Elegance
Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.

Very luxurious and comfortable the only problem we had was the kingsize bed was 2 singles put together ànd the mattress topper did not stop thre being a distinct line down the center which was sometimes a bit uncomfortable. The breakfast gave a great choice amd was vert tasty. The pool was good but closed early 6pm itvwould hzbe been nice to enjoy the facilities

Pros:

Doxford Hall was in a very convenient location for visiting the area. Although, you do need to drive.
The grounds are simply stunning. Beautifully maintained and relatively extensive.
The hotel itself is lovely. Super clean, traditional, mostly bright and airy and again, well maintained. We had the four poster room which we loved. It was really big and was well organised. It had plenty of sockets, a USB port next to the bed, bottles of water and plenty of hangers etc. The bathroom was large, modern and spotlessly clean with a shower over the bath.
The breakfast was very nice. Not the biggest selection I've seen but something for everyone. It was cooked and served very well. Mostly table service including pots of coffee and racks of toast. We had dinner both nights of our stay as we chose the DBB rate. We ate from the a la carte menu both nights. Every single mouthful was delicious. Beautifully cooked and presented. The house white was good too. There was also a set menu which looked great too.
We only used the swimming pool, not the spa. The pool was a good size for a hotel pool. We enjoyed our swim. The changing room was adequate. Robes and slippers available on request (apparently).
The staff across the hotel were, without exception, all friendly, open, happy and efficient. The hotel never appeared to be short staffed.
We had a great two night stay. I would definitely return and recommend the hotel to friends.

Pros:

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

Charming
Pros:

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.

Lovely short break
Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.
