Doxford Cottages - Doxford House

This four-bedroom cottage began life as a farmhouse on the Doxford Estate near Chathill. The conversion has preserved its character while adding modern comfort across a substantial layout designed for eight guests. Ground floor rooms include a kitchen equipped for proper cooking, two separate living areas (one with a woodburner and terrace access, the other with a garden room overlooking woodland), and a utility space. Upstairs holds four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms: a super king, a zip-and-link king, and two rooms with twin single beds.

Essentials including heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are covered. The property sits within grounds that contain a lake, garden seating areas, and shared access to children's play equipment and a games room with table football and air hockey. Private parking accommodates three cars. Families and larger groups benefit from the space and the proximity to Embleton Beach; the estate setting means a quieter location than a village centre, though Doxford Hall Hotel and Spa is nearby. Note that the unfenced lake is within the grounds, so the setting needs supervision for young children.
