The service in the restaurant could be improved. A lot of inexperienced young staff and the menu was limited and expensive. This did not spoil our holiday though

The location for everything we did and saw that week was first rate. The hotel grounds were very special as was the hotel .

We didn't realise that the room we booked was a good 5 minute outdoor walk to the main building where the restaurant was situated. We felt that all the meal menus were overpriced. Of course it was great to have a high class menu, but even the marketplace menu was prohibitively expensive and rather limited.

Very comfortable deluxe place. Breakfast plentiful and nicely presented. Pool and sauna easy to use and never overbusy when we tried it. Staff friendly and helpful. Lots of reception rooms and a library all of which were available to sit in quietly.

The entrance to the gardeners cottage we stayed in was dirty. Full of cobwebs, which had clearly been there some time. There were also bottles of cleaning products left on the window sill. The Library where we went for drinks in the afternoon had loads of dirty plates and glasses in it. There was a large scale function taking place which meant some areas were no-go, it also impacted parking. I had emailed ahead about using the EV charger, but non EV cars were parked literally anywhere they could (including grass verges) due to the large number of people attending the conference i assume, so I was unable to charge as there is no clear signage to discourage anyone parking in a charging spot.

The dinner in the main restaurant was of a very good quality, and the service was superb. The room itself was nice once inside

We were in the stables block, a short walk from the main Hall. It was like having a little cottage in the country. The large, tastefully furnished room was warm and comfortable with a spacious, well equipped ensuite. The private garden was immaculate and parking for the stable block was nearby. The grounds and nearby lake are great for walks.

Happy with most things. If I could think of anything it would be a mini fridge in room if you stayed longer to keep items cool.

Relaxing spa and two course lunch. Fantastic location and room. Staff very pleasant and professional.

We were disappointed with the quality of the food for both dinner and breakfast. We expected a better standard.

The room was very comfortable and clean. All the staff were helpful and pleasant.

We have stayed at Doxford three times now and have never been disappointed.

The breakfast was as expected for a 4star hotel. The staff were very accommodating to serve an unvoiced cream tea for ourselves and four family guests.

Car parking outside of our room (no parking sign up but were permitted to park due to having dog), room was in the coach house.

Location of hotel is central to area, with easy access. Breakfast was filling and had a wide choice of food.

The bathroom was very noisy in the morning. Like someone was filling the bath inside our bathroom when we were not, the pillows were not comfortable

Nicely, appropriately decorated and very clean, very pretty garden. dinner and breakfast was superb, staff were attentive

The location was in the middle of the country and there are pot holes all the way from the motorway. The drive way entrance of the hotel was full of pot holes. It was very muddy walking from the car to the reception in the building.

Hotel was wonderful, clean and very tidy. Breakfast was delightful served hot.

I just think the overall place looks like it needs some serious TLC inside, we where sat having a few drinks in a lounge area before heading the lounge area had a lovely glass roof but in the corner of the ceiling it looks like it was crumbling from water damage quite a large patch, overall some spots in the hotel felt dirty as in surface dirt was gone but needed a good deep clean getting right in the corners sort of thing, the toilets felt really unclean and grubby. The whole place could do with a more modern decor overhaul felt very dated everywhere you looked and nothing really matched?

Our room (no.36) was a brilliant size, very clean and comfy and quiet. Amenities in the room where great loved the Ringtons refreshments, the location of the room seems really odd however sort of as if it wasn't originally a room for hotel guests but now turned in to one that being said we actually quite liked it, felt like we had our own private quarters. Breakfast in the morning was lovely, my husband said it was the nicest black pudding he's had on an full English, my avocado on toast was just as nice, staff where lovely in there on the morning.

Small criticism. Stain on a towel. Spa bath disconnected. Road entering the main entrance terrible for potholes, watch out!

Breakfast very good indeed. Lots of choice to cater for all. Room was spacious. View was perfect. Didn’t have time to use spa facilities would like to use on return. Stayed on a b&b basis.
