Welcome to Dowfold House Bed & Breakfast in Crook, County Durham

Jill & Rupert (not to mention our dog and two cats...) look forward to welcoming you to this lovely, comfortable Victorian house with its delightful gardens.  As a small, high-quality bed & breakfast establishment, we aim to provide a comfortable, welcoming - and peaceful - home for you to enjoy; and we do GREAT breakfasts!

Dowfold House Bed & Breakfast is in a quiet location overlooking Crook, with stunning views over Weardale as far as the North Pennines. We welcome business visitors, tourers, cyclists, walkers, dogs and children. People just keep coming back!

Crook is an ideal, peaceful, place to stay when visiting the North East of England.  The City of Durham is a 20 minute drive away and our Bed & Breakfast accommodation is close to the A68, a major route to and from Scotland.

Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland and the North East coast are all within easy reach of our accomodation, while Crook acts as a gateway to the Durham Dales (Weardale, Teesdale) and the North Pennines.
