The holiday cottages are set in the centre of the Doxford Estate, which has been owned by the Runciman family, a famous Northern ship-owning and political dynasty, since 1927. Four generations of Runcimans have cherished the Doxford Estate and the mature landscaping around the estate is testament to this continuing care. This attention to detail, which can be witnessed as one walks around the estate, has been brought to bear in the sensitive development of the holiday cottages at Doxford.
The cottages have been sympathetically restored to ensure they offer the perfect holiday retreat. They all have south-west facing, stone-flagged terraces opening on to lawns from which one can walk down through a wooded glade to the three-acre Doxford Lake. This is reached through a secure gateway, preventing access by youngsters. There are walks and seats around the lake and paths leading to different parts of this most beautiful estate.
Doxford Cottages have all been created afresh from 19th century buildings, so everything is new. In designing the cottages, great care has been taken to provide the very latest in holiday comfort.
