About Dowfold House

Dowfold House is a lovely Victorian house in a quiet rural location overlooking Crook, with wonderful views over Wear Valley and beyond to Weardale. Built in 1860 for Joseph Pease, local mine owner and first Quaker MP, the house has some historical interest.  It is an ideal place to stay when visiting the North East of England.  Durham City is just a 15 minute drive away and the house is just a few minutes from the A68, a major route to and from Scotland.

Relax

Take afternoon tea in our residents' lounge. On cold winter's evenings snuggle into our comfortable sofas around an open log fire.  You may even wish to select a book or magazine from our library.

Breakfast in style

Breakfast is served in our elegant Dining Room between 7:30 and 9:30am. Enjoy a truly English country house experience, with crisp table linen and fine china. We pride ourselves on using only the finest produce, many of them local, including free-range eggs and delicious sausages and bacon from local farms. Jams and marmalades are home made, often using fruit from the garden ( but not the oranges in the marmalade !!!)

Ask for the newspaper of your choice on booking and it will be ready for you at breakfast, with our compliments

Don't just stay indoors!
As honoured guests you are welcome to bask in the conservatory, relax on the patio, stroll about the garden and enjoy the spectacular views - or (if you are feeling viciously competitive) play croquet or boules.
