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.

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.

There is not much around the property specifically but it is ideal for access to Durham and a cosy alternative to central chain hotels. Great, home cooked food and friendly staff at good value. Good sized room with great shower. Free parking a bonus. Bar gets quiet early though!!
