Doxford Hall Hotel and Spa ★★★★

"The environment of the hotel is good. Friendly staff but the room is dated and the cleanliness is not as good as we expected. The location is quite inconvenient you must drive wherever you want to go. And the road condition is very bad nearby potholes everywhere so I damaged my tyre."

The Tempus at Charlton Hall Estate ★★★★

"I stayed in the Zara room on the ground floor of the Farm Cottage, and it was absolutely beautiful. The room was decorated so thoughtfully and was equipped with everything I could have needed, including robes, a selection of teas and coffees, and biscuits. The bathroom was equally stunning, with a lovely freestanding bath and a separate waterfall shower. The White Company toiletries were a really luxurious touch, and the room itself smelt beautiful from the moment I walked in. I also loved having a Smart TV in the room, which meant I could relax and watch Netflix during my stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the duvet was so lovely and plush. I genuinely had one of the best nights’ sleeps I’ve had in a long time. Whilst I didn’t dine in the restaurant for my evening meal, breakfast was included with my stay, so I visited the restaurant the following morning. I enjoyed a teapot of tea and the pancakes with fresh fruit and Chantilly cream, which were lovely. The staff in both reception and the restaurant were polite, friendly and attentive throughout my stay. There was also plenty of on site parking very close to reception, which was really convenient. The grounds were beautiful and clearly very well looked after, and it was lovely seeing the horses in the nearby field too. Everything felt so well thought out, luxurious and welcoming. I had a wonderful stay and would definitely love to return!"

Northern Hideaways Apple Store, Ellingham ★★★

"We first visited in August 2023 with a view to getting married in December and were blown away by this amazing venue! As it turned out we could not marry in December but they were able to offer us a date in March which was above and beyond what they had to do! After another visit for the tasting our wedding went ahead in March and what an amazing couple of days we had. This is not just a one day wedding, there’s a meal for everyone the night before, accomodation for all guests for 2 nights and breakfast the day after the wedding. We had Wendy help us plan our wedding and absolutely everything was planned to a T so the wedding day went without a hitch. The hall itself is stunning, all of the rooms are beautiful and then there are cottages which are 5* plus!! All of our guests absolutely loved their accommodation, the food was to die for and the staff could not do enough. It’s no wonder David, Debbie and the team have won awards……..their wedding experience is THE BEST. It was also our granddaughters 2nd birthday so really was her day!!!…everyone made her day really special and Wendy even got her a gift. There are not enough superlatives to describe how amazing Ellingham Hall and the staff are, you will not find a better venue for your special day."
