The Pink Room
The Pink Room is a luxury double bedroom with a king size double bed and a full-size "P" shaped bath, with shower over. (The "P" bit means there's plenty of space at the top of the bath to stand under the shower - SO important!)
Jill & Rupert Richardson - and Raffie the dog - welcome you to our lovely, comfortable Victorian house with its delightful gardens. As a small, luxury 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.
We welcome business visitors, tourers, cyclists, dogs, horses and children. People just keep coming back!
We pride ourselves on the comfort and tranquility of the rooms we offer, with quality linen, fluffy duvets and fluffier towels. They each have their own character, so one is bound to suit you.
With a wide variety of breakfast dishes to choose from there will be something to suit everyone. Orange juice, a choice of cereals, a selection of seasonal fruit and a variety of yoghurts are on the table, so just help yourself.
We're proud of Dowfold House Bed & Breakfast's green credentials, but intensely aware we need to do more. "Green, but without the hair shirt" is our motto.
Thank you for another wonderful stay. Excellent hospitality & food. See you next year.

I think Jill & Rupert are trying to keep us away from their wonderful food... This time, Carter Bar (on the Scottish border) was closed; in 2018 it was the A68! Still, we battled through to enjoy their wonderful hospitality (and to see the dogs).
Thank you for our perfect stay.The house feels like home from home, apart from the delicious cooked breakfast, which I don't produce! Hope to come again one day.

It was our first time with you but we have every intention to return. Thanks again
