The Three Horseshoes Hotel

Hotel in Barnard Castle

In the heart of the historic market town of Barnard Castle, The Three Horseshoes Hotel is a 17th century building less than a mile from the River Tees.

We had a GREAT overnight stay at the Three Horse Shoes Hotel - although we actually stayed across the road in their annex - The Stables. Everything was modern, new and perfect. Fully Equipped kitchen, huge comfy bed, washing machine and drying rack with portable heaters, plenty of room to spread out, and security for our touring bicycles. They even included a cooked breakfast for us the next morning - which was unexpected given that we had a kitchen - and it was a great start to our day. We'd certainly stay here again.

Booked Beamish Hall Hotel as it's right next (1 mile drive) to the Beamish Museum. It was also my wife's birthday weekend. From the Reception staff contacting me regarding booking a restaurant reservation to completing my request for flowers and champagne to be placed in the room upon arrival, everyone was absolutely fantastic. Always welcoming no matter how many times we left or entered the hotel. And the room - so spacious and well kept; impressed myself and wife with the quality of the room.

The room was tastefully decorated and was top quality. The beds was very comfortable. I was in a twin room with my sister and we both agreed it was the best night's sleep we'd had in ages. The staff were so helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. We had an evening meal and breakfast and the food was very tasty with large portions.

We loved absolutely everything! The staff welcomed us with warmth, and they really couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. The hotel is beautiful and set in wonderful surroundings. We managed walks around the area, which was great. The food was excellent, and the breakfast, in particular, was fabulous. Should we be in the area again, we will be sure to pay another visit. Thank you all for making our stay a perfect one.

Everything about our stay from arriving early and being checked straight in, the room we were in was in the original part if the building it had so much charm, temperature in the room was perfect, bed was comfortable, room was immaculate. Would highly recommend staying here, breakfast the next morning is probably the best we've ever had in a hotel.

The castle and grounds is amazing, very interesting and very beautiful. The Spanish Gallery is incredible - to find such a superb collection here and so well displayed. The Mining Art Gallery is well worth a visit. The wider town is very run-down but great efforts are being made to reinvigorate it and it is beginning to show. The people are also very pleasant. Currently hard to find nice places to stay and to eat out, but that will get better. A new central hotel is currently being built. There are a couple of pleasant cafes and a Wetherspoons in a historic central building. Our second visit, and we will be back again.

Love Beamish, have visited many times, it’s well worth having a couple of days as there’s so much to see, it’s a fabulous walk around, but also has the various transportation options, they are endless and very easy to explore Beamish, great for people who may have walking difficulties. Great for an educational experience for children too! We had fish & chips from Davy’s fish shop, queuing time can be long but well worth the wait. Only problem is that there is only minimal outdoor seating area to sit and eat the food, it could improve this by adding more tables and seats!
