History of the hotel
The first reference to the parish of Doxford goes back to 1296 when a Thomas de Doxford was named in a muster roll and the Doxford family continued in the parish rolls until 1635 when Robert Doxford. The estate then passed through various hands, including the Brown's of Callaly. By 1811 the estate had passed to Miss Mary Taylor, who left Doxford to her relation Henry Aynsley who subsequently changed his name to Henry Taylor. In 1817 he commissioned John Dobson, a Newcastle architect who became one of the most respected and sought after architects in the North-East, to build Doxford Hall, one of his earliest and finest houses which was completed in 1818

An enjoyable five day break
Very friendly and helpful staff. An excellent location from which to explore Northumberland. We had a very comfortable and well appointed room, though the bath left something to be desired - a designer's dream but a bather's nightmare!
The food was excellent and interesting though the menu never changed while we were there.
We would certainly return if visiting that part of the country again.
Excellent stay
I ve had no complaints at all. The hotel, rooms and restaurant was lovely.
Would stay again if I was in that area.
Relaxing and high quality
We had a great stay with our daughter and dog. The room was large and quiet. The restaurant and the food were both exceptional and the staff were helpful and friendly throughout. The pool was very nice too. Thank you!
An impressive hotel
Excellent. The hotel was very well laid out and, so far as we could see, immaculately maintained. The gardens were splendid, and also very well looked after. My wife and I were particularly impressed by the staff who were very pleasant, helpful and welcoming. The meals were very good (though expensive) except for the starters, which were disappointing. The bedroom, large and traditional in style, met all our needs. One minor quibble was that we would have appreciated a grip rail in the bath/shower. Also a non-slip mat - though we could no doubt have asked for one. Overall very pleased. We will go again.
Great
Overall very good, food was ok but not the best, steak was tough. Breakfast was average, kippers were rubbery. Hotel is fantastic, I would recommend. I would stay again
There was the sense that the hotel was understaffed as there was a lot of multitasking going on. The food was excellent but AA Rosettes suggest that quality of service is as important as the food. Being served with the comment "that's the appetiser" without any explanation what was being served and, as it was pate without any cutlery.... I couldn't help but feel that the service, although friendly, lacked structure or the sense that anybody was in overall charge and control.
Great first trip to Northumberland
It has taken my wife and I 72 years to make a first visit to Northumberland but now we have found it we will be back .. but won't be leaving it another 72 years!! Doxford Hall is a little gem and we most certainly be staying here again when our next visit comes round.
We have no real grumbles although we did find the bar service rather slow on occasions particularly when seeking a mid-PM snifter and, whilst we loved the food in The Runciman Restaurant, the menu became very repetitive for a six night stay as too did the piped music. However, do not be put off by these two very minor comments, they are more than compensated by the great staff team all of whom were courteous, helpful and friendlyl; Doxford is a great place to stay and my comments are very personal in foundation - after 72 years one tends to become rather "grumpy" perhaps!!!
