Doddington Hall is situated on the outskirts of Lincoln, just five miles from the centre of the city. By car, Doddington Hall is five miles West of Lincoln on the B1190. It is signposted from the A46 Newark to Lincoln Road. It is also signposted from the A57 between the A1 and Lincoln. Doddington Hall has exclusive, complimentary parking. If you are travelling by train Doddington is 20 minutes from Newark Northgate and Lincoln stations, and 40 minutes from Retford station. If you arrive by train to Lincoln Central Station or Newark Northgate Station you can get to Doddington Hall by taxi and we can give you a recommendation of taxi numbers. By Bicycle Doddington has a new cycle track which links Doddington to Lincoln. The route was officially opened by Olympic Gold medallist Georgie Twigg MBE, and is named the Georgie Twigg Track. Why not come and try out the new track for yourself when you are here with our range of hire bikes and you can explore more of Lincoln and the surrounding areas. Whilst you are welcome to walk through all public areas surrounding your accommodation, please do be aware that Doddington Hall is still a working estate. In particular, for several weeks over the Christmas period, our Doddington Christmas Trees are for sale to the public in the Stable Yard situated outside the Tailor Rooms, Delaval Rooms and The Brewhouse. This is also the location for our Bauble Barn. This will therefore mean there will be a slightly higher level of noise during the day and a higher than normal influx of parking in this area of the estate during your stay. Christmas is a lively, busy and exciting time of year at Doddington with plenty of areas to explore, including a visit to the Hall and Gardens. We provide a complimentary hall and gardens voucher as part of your stay and we do hope the level of noise and influx of parking during this time does not cause too much inconvenience.
