The Three Horseshoes is located 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 accommodations and cozy 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.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.8 for a two-person trip.
