What's on locally


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!

  • Walkers really enjoy Crook - lots of walks of all kinds - and we have an excellent kit drying room for those damper moments.

 

  • Handy for the Durham Dales (Weardale, Teesdale)
  • City of Durham is nearby, with its history, castle and WONDERFUL cathedral (ask Bill Bryson...)
  • A convenient base from which to explore the North East, from Holy Island (Lindisfarne) to Bishop Auckland - home to the Prince Bishops of Durham
  • Just off the A68, for inveterate Scotlanders

 

  • This is a no smoking establishment

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.
