Traveling Luck for Hotels Accommodation for your travels

Jill and Rupert Richardson (not to mention our dog and two cats...) look forward to welcoming you to this lovely comfortable Victorian house with its delightful gardens which was recently recognised as the Bed and Breakfast of the Year at the North East Tourism Awards 2011. As a small high-quality bed and breakfast establishment we aim to provide a comfortable welcoming - and peaceful - home for you to enjoy; and we do GREAT breakfasts! - full of local produce.As a recent regular guest put it: Jill and Rupert at Dowfold House are a class act. They offer bed and breakfasting in grand style but somehow make it friendly and intimate. It's a brilliant encapsulation of all that we try to do - and I half-wish I'd thought of it myself although it sounds better from a third-party.Our rooms are comfortable and well-equipped all with ensuite facilities while our home and gardens offer plenty of opportunity for relaxation - or wickedly competitive croquet! Guests love it here. We're proud of our Bed and Breakfast's green credentials but intensely aware we need to do more. Green but without the hair shirt is our motto. You can find prices and booking information HERE.And from Dowfold House Bed and Breakfast there's plenty to do. From railway rides to walks and cycle rides; from gardens to more strenuous pursuits.
