Our Vacancies

England’s northernmost county boasts many fascinating landmarks, including the stately Doxford Hall. A grand, 200-year-old country mansion resplendent in ten acres of private estate, as the only hotel in the county to be awarded the AA’s coveted four red star rating, it’s outstanding for all the right reasons: sumptuous interiors, elegant gardens and superb service. It is a truly wonderful place to start, develop or progress your career in hospitality.

Part of the Robert Parker Collection, which is all about grand buildings in grand locations. The four historic hotels stand in some of Britain’s most beautiful landscapes, whether in parkland on a castle estate in Midlothian, beside a river in the Scottish Borders or a short drive from the stunning Northumbrian coastline. Each has been individually designed to enhance its period charm and exude a refined but homely atmosphere.
