Doxford Hall offers beautiful grounds and a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The attentive staff make you feel welcomed, and the spacious rooms provide comfort, although some updates would enhance the experience. Unfortunately, the dining options need considerable improvement, particularly breakfast, which was underwhelming and inconsistent.
