“Pleasant country walks ..."
Doxford Hall is situated in a peaceful setting with formal gardens and pleasant country walks that will take you into history, nature and beyond. We are superbly located near the picturesque coastal villages of Craster, Embleton, Beadnell, Seahouses and Bamburgh and with such easy access to the A1, just two miles away, a stay here at Doxford Hall puts you in the perfect place for exploring this exciting part of Great Britain. Northumberland is England’s most northerly county, offering coastlines and countryside of outstanding natural beauty and a rich and colourful history dating back to ancient times.

You can choose to stay in our peaceful, Victorian Head Gardener’s House or the equally tranquil North Lodge; both situated in the grounds of Doxford Hall and offering outstanding scenery and superb features. Doxford Hall is a Grade II listed Georgian country house with formal gardens, a Millennium Yew Maze (the largest in England) and fortunate enough to be home to the native Red Squirrel. Doxford Hall was built in 1818 and designed by the famous Newcastle architect, John Dobson. Both the Head Gardener’s House and North Lodge are also Grade 11 listed and have been completely refurbished to provide a standard of comfort more often associated with a high quality hotel.

From castles to historic houses and fascinating museums, scenic walks to exploring the beaches and villages of the unspoilt coastline; your stay here will be rich in choice and delight. Few visitors could resist returning once they have stayed in this beautiful area that offers such a wealth of things to do. Northumberland’s castles are among the best to be found anywhere in England. From Bamburgh, Alnwick, Warkworth and Dunstanburgh to Lindisfarne Priory on Holy Island, their settings are often as glorious as their history is fascinating.

Here at Doxford Hall, we believe in welcoming you warmly and giving you the space to design your own holiday; with days filled just the way you like them. We will provide everything you need for comfort and help you plan your stay if you like. Please feel free to contact us for all the latest information on what to see and do in the area, we will be delighted to help.
