Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly service. It’s a charming place to relax for a bit. The food was okay—not the highlight of the visit, but still a pleasant overall experience. Worth a stop if you’re in the area.

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!

My go-to hotel in the North East

I use The Three Horseshoes ever time I am in the North East on business. Very friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms and lovely food. The restaurant can get busy which is testament to the quality of the food and beer.
