The Three Horse Shoes

Went for Sunday lunch. Luckily we went early as it got very busy later. Parking was OK for me, but later people were parking on the grass verges. The food was very good, and the portion size was more than good enough. The time we went, there was a choice of 4 meats all served with large Yorkshire Puddings and roasted veg.

This is a great find when looking for somewhere to stay near Durham. 10 mins by car to centre of City, the rooms were very comfortable with a proper shower (like home) which is always a bonus. The staff are very helpful, breakfast was fab and there were even a couple of guest ales for a nightcap at end of long day. I loved this place and will definitely be returning 😊

We've had two visits to the Three Horseshoes — both were really good. I had the Sunday roast such was good bit I have had better. The meat was excellent, the Yorkshire was a little tough (probably pre made and reheated). My daughter had the beef feathers — this was outstanding. Slow cooked beef on mash potatoes and gravy. I'll get that next time

Myself and my husband had lunch here, I had the Chickpea and Spinach curry with rice and my husband had the Beef Ale Pie. I am a diabetic and there wasn't much choice on the menu for me, so the dish I chose was a little sparse and bland and I still felt hungry after, my husband's was lovely and he thoroughly enjoyed it with plenty on his plate, however the cost of the food makes this pub slightly pretentious. Thank You.

One of the nicest places we've ever stayed. Roughly a ten minute drive from the beautiful city of Durham. Really, really welcoming staff who can't do enough for you. We barely heard the noise from the passing traffic even though the property is situated on a busy road, and our room was at the front of the property. Massive bed and overhead shower room - nothing to fault; bottled water replaced on a daily basis. We stayed for five nights, and ate at the property for three of them. Varied selection of main courses and desserts. I especially enjoyed the lamb & mint suet pudding (albeit this was on a specials board). Would wholeheartedly recommend The Three Horseshoes to anyone wishing to explore this wonderful part of the country.
