Win a two-night stay at Dowfold House
Win the Wolsey Lodges prize for April. This is a two-night weekday stay for two at Dowfold House, a multi-award-winning luxury B&B in Weardale, just outside Durham. Dowfold House is a hugely welcoming place where guests can bring their children, their dogs, and elderly relatives. Rupert and Jill are delightful hosts who love entertaining guests and sharing their love of the region.
At Dowfold House guests are free to bask on the patio, laze in the conservatory or relax on a sofa by the open fire. The extensive gardens are known for their flower borders, views over the Wear Valley and manicured lawns, ideal for games of croquet or boules.
There are three comfortable and well-equipped bedrooms here, all ensuite. Breakfast is invariably a highlight, with local ingredients – many from Dowfold House’s own vegetable garden – served in the lovely dining room.
There’s plenty to do in the area. The city of Durham is less than 20 minutes away, and Newcastle, Sunderland and the Durham Coast are within easy reach. The village of Crook, where Dowfold House is situated, is a gateway to the Durham Dales and the North Pennines National Landscape.

The Prize is:
A two-night stay at Dowfold House for two consecutive weekday nights for two in a twin or double room
Breakfast each morning of your stay
A take-away gift from D0wf0ld House’s home-produced goodies. A jar of home-made marmalade or jam, a home-baked loaf, or a pack of its famed potato bread: the choice is yours.
