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.

Other Comments
Small point but breakfast cereal bowls weren’t cleared away before main course served. We had to pile them up and put on nearby ledge. Request for milk had to be made twice. Allocated ‘disabled ‘ room so wash basins very low . None of us liked the bar— colour scheme / lighting were at odds with the lovely ambience elsewhere. Disappointing as we loved general ambience of other rooms.
