Overview
Doxford Hall Hotel & Spa is a 200-year-old mansion set in 10 acres of private estate in Northumberland, England's northernmost county.
Bamburgh, "Northumberland's most dramatic castle" (Lonely Planet), is around 20 minutes' drive from the hotel, while the Holy Island of Lindisfarne -- a tidal island off the northeast coast of England -- is around 30 minutes' drive away. The edge of the 400 square-mile Northumberland National Park is around 30 minutes' drive away.
The AA Hotel Guide 2019 praises the hotel's "luxuriously furnished" and "very attractive" interior. The entrance hall has an impressive carved-wood staircase, while the 2-AA-Rosette restaurant features ornate ceilings, chandeliers and a stone fireplace.
Spa and leisure facilities include a gym, an indoor swimming pool, two spa baths, a sauna and a steam room. Guests can relax in the Morning Room or in the Library, which has over 2000 books. Outside, the gardens include a yew-tree maze and a paved terrace where afternoon tea is served in fine weather.
Bedrooms are "light-filled, ridiculously large - even the so-called standard 'classic' - and handsomely furnished with carved bedsteads, wardrobes and dressing tables" (The Daily Telegraph). Standard Rooms (Classic and Coach House) are split between the main house and the coach house, a short walk away. Executive Rooms are in the main house. Wi-Fi is free.

It was very dog friendly, beautiful setting, lovely area, gorgeous large room, delicious dinner. The place is very well maintained and very clean. Friendly bar and reception staff.

Felt like they needed more staff at the start of dinner service & at breakfast. The library was the only dog friendly communal area and it could have done with staff checking if any drinks were required and additional tables. A floor lamp in the room would have been useful.

Food was excellent
Other Comments
Better to book a table half an hour earlier than planning to eat, as there can be a 40 minute or so wait between making an order and going through to the table. The food is superb though

Couldn't fault anything.
Other Comments
The room was spacious and comfortable. The hotel was impressive with lovely grounds, although the maze was a bit soggy underfoot at this time of year. Wish we'd been there longer to take advantage of the library. The staff were all helpful and pleasant and the food was first rate.
