Doxford Hall Hotel and Spa

Country house spa where dogs join you in the bar and Morning Room

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A Georgian country house hotel with a spa, set in its own grounds on the rural stretch between Alnwick and the coast. Dog-friendly bedrooms are on the ground floor, which makes early walks easy. It suits a coast-and-castles break where you want a spa day and a proper bar to sit in with the dog afterwards. The hotel publishes its own guide to the nearby beaches and castles that take dogs.

Dogs stay in designated ground floor bedrooms. They can join you in the Lounge Bar and the Morning Room on a lead. The George Runciman Restaurant, the Library and the other lounges are dog-free. Your dog can stay in the room while you dine, just not for long stretches or while you leave the hotel.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
