About The Three Horseshoes

The Three Horseshoes is situated within 10 minutes’ drive of the beautiful city of Durham. With parts of the building over 300 years old, it still retains some quirky, original features. A charming country inn, it offers homely accommodation and cosy rooms.

Each comes with a TV and facilities for making tea and coffee, and has double-glazed windows with views of the surrounding countryside. The Three Horseshoes offers a well-stocked cellar and serves hearty food in its timber-framed restaurant.

A full English breakfast is available each morning, and a range of drinks are served at the bar. Durham is a historic old city, home to Durham University and a Norman castle, parts of which were used in the filming of Harry Potter.

Newcastle can be reached in just over 30 minutes by car.

For value for money, this place takes some beating!
The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, with a very generous courtesy tray.
We ate in the popular restaurant and were very impressed with the menu and the quality (and quantity!) of the food. Staff serving couldn’t have been more attentive. Great maturity shown by a fairly young staff!
Breakfast was great- a cold selection of cereals, fruit and yoghurt followed by your choice of hot food (not a huge menu- but plenty to choose from as they were happy to adapt dishes!), even a takeaway breakfast bap for those in a rush!
All in all, a great little stop over, lovely people, lovely food, lovely bed!
We hope to stay again- thank you!

The hotel was an amazing choice for after my Skydive, as we were with friends they had booked to eat there so made our day more enjoyable. The check in process was easy and as we were eating with friends we didnt go to the room til late.
Upon entering the room we noticed how clean it was, tea and coffee facilities were impressive, The bathroom was large and well laid out. The bed was comfortable and the views from the window were great.
The staff were excellent as once our friends had left and we had been to the room we went back to the bar for drinks, they opened a tab for us which we settled before retiring back to the room.
Breakfast was ample, enough choice and the cooked to order breakfast was just the right size.
For a hotel that is not in the middle of a town or city this is great, we dont like to be in the centre so it was a good choice for us.

Booked for an overnight stay as working the music festival at Herrington Park.

Excellent communication. Staff polite & professional and happy to accommodate our needs.

We had a good sized twin room with all amenities and a large shower room.

A good variety of options at breakfast with lovely views overlooking the fields..,,

Definitely not a 4 star property. It was decent but not great. It is the only place I've ever stayed where the wifi signal doesn't even reach the 2nd floor - we couldn't use it at all. The floor squeaked and creaked with every step. I understand that it's an older building but it wasn't ideal.

The staff were great. The room was stone cold and even with the radiator control in the room, it took over 2hrs to even start to warm slightly. Obviously centrally controlled as it went off again in the night and was freezing again when the alarm went off. Food was OK and the rating of a 9 online is overrated. 7.5 would be a fairer score. Certainly not terrible but not particularly welcoming stay either.

The place was very popular with locals so parking was a bit awkward, we arrived after 6pm and there wasn’t much room to park. Maybe one criticism would be there isn’t reserve parking for staying guests and after travelling 140 odd miles and to be faced with hunting a parking space was as I said a little awkward. But that shouldn’t take away from what was a nice place to visit great food and a generous breakfast, clean room comfy bed.

Staff very friendly & welcoming. Lovely room with lovely views. Noise from fan on roof was a bit annoying as needed to keep windows open as it was very warm
The greenish cushion covers on bed could do with a freshen up as the body odour from a male was quite obvious. The food was very good but portions are massive. Might be an option to offer a smaller portion. Apart from these small issues it was a good place to stay.

Fabulous accomodation, service and food

Lovely queen bed, clean, hot powerful shower, large room with tv, fabulous cooked breakfast included in very reasonable room price. Excellent food menu and large portions at fair prices. We will stay again when visiting Durham. We tried to go back for sunday lunch after our checkout but the car park was completely full reflecting how popular the three horseshoes is. A very enjoyable 2 night stay and there was a lot more on the menu we would have liked to have tried. Next time!

Helpful staff, good hotel, great evening meal

Stayed 1 night and ate evening meal here.

Postive points: -
- Helpful and friendly staff
- Good shower
- Bed on the firm side but not uncomfortable
- Evening meal was very good; we ate beef and ale pie (homemade and tasty) and seafood linguine (tasty with good quantity of shellfish). Both dishes were a good size.
- Breakfast: cooked fresh, good sausage. Cereals available.

Less positive points (but not 'bad'): -
- the room radiator was not working correctly but the manager quickly sorted it out
- breakfast range of youghurts and fresher options was quite limited; coffee was from a machine and a bit of the weak side.

Absolutely gorgeous place to stay on the outskirts of Durham. Only a 10 mins drive into the center! The parking is so easy & accessible, great dining options and the staff were SO lovely! The rooms are modern & clean, will definitely be coming here again as it's a great value for money and I absolutely loved staying here!

Friendly staff and very good breakfast included. Convenient location for lots of things nearby but location of hotel is by itself in the countryside so not within walking distance of anything. I would recommend as it was good value for money

Lovely stay.

Lovely pub with rooms, fairly local for park & ride into the city, ate in the bar & the food was great. Charlotte & Hannah the girls on duty during our stay were a great credit to the company.

Fantastic

Absolutely fantastic, lovely room, toiletries provided and plenty tea/coffee/hot chocolate. Bar staff offer fantastic service - bringing drinks to the tables outside. Lovely views over countryside from verandha with glass panels to shelter any wind. Breakfasts, huge portions, top quality and excellent choices. Very good menu, food served all day, good value. Excellent location for Kynren production. Only issue restaurant not hoovered until after breakfast so floor had crumbs of food under and around table from evening before.

Great pub and location

Great location for Peterlee, Durham and surrounding areas.
Food was fantastic as was the breakfast service.
Room was ok, basic but clean and comfy.
Only down side was the early closing time of the downstairs bar.

Excellent countryside pub

This is an isolated pub on a busy road, with great views of the countryside. The bedrooms have been recently modernised and decorated. Bedroom was large enough and rthe bed comfortable if a little firm. Large en suite with walk-in shower was well decorated, though the rainfall shower could do with more water pressure.

The staff were very friendly and the evening meal was excellent with very large portions. Buffet breakfast was OK, the sourdough toast being the highlight.

Would definitely stay here again.

Staff were fantastic throughout our stay and food was really good too, especially the breakfast!
The room was clean and spacious but had a very creaky floor which although a little annoying you would expect from an older building. Great place to visit Durham and other areas of the North East. Overall we had a great 3 night stay and it was good value for the cost. We would definitely recommend it and stay again.

Lovely friendly staff and good accommodation. I just wish there was better coffee than that awful mass market stuff. It’s just nasty…
Can’t find fault other than that.
