Three horse shoes

Lovely place to stay friendly people and great food

Lovely apartment, everything you needed was available.

Nothing we could fault

A fairly decent location, plenty of parking. Staff were very friendly. The accommodation itself looked great, spacious for our needs and we had a very chilled evening eventually. There's not too much of a drive to the centre of town, about 5 minutes, where there's petrol station, tesco, takeaways etc. Heating is not restricted which is a nice change from most of the places I stay at during the winter ( I travel for my job so stay in hotels, pubs etc 200+ times a year).

For everything you need or want to use there is a switch for each individual item. For such a small place there must be 20 switches. For example, to use the hob, oven and extractor fan as we did, you need to click 3 switches. It was relatively clean but the floor hadn't been swept and definitely not mopped. It's a laminate floor so we could tell, it wasn't terrible but when I was walking around barefoot stuff was sticking to my feet. Thankfully, the owners leave cleaning materials including a brush, mop etc at the entrance, maybe hoping guests clean the place when they arrive or before they leave. It worked, my partner did sweep the entire place to stop me complaining about stuff sticking to my feet Anyway.. We finally settled down to watch TV and enjoyed our evening, we did notice when we arrived that the bed frame was a bit loose and squeaked but we agreed that we normally stay in one position when we sleep so might not be a problem. Then...lol...then, we went to bed. We knew the mattress wasn't the best but we just had a sit on it and bounced up and down when we arrived. When we went to bed it was terrible, very uncomfortable, very hard, we didn't check but are certain it was one of those mattresses with buttons. We had very little sleep and couldn't wait to get home for a nap. The place could be an absolute gem if they renovated it. My partner and I agreed we would stay again and pay more if it was upgraded. A very disappointing experience overall.

Clean and well equipped holiday let which was close to where I was working. Comfortable bed, kitchen with sufficient facilities for preparing meals. Underfloor heating is a nice touch. The Three Horseshoes next door serves very good food at a reasonable price.

Nothing to complain about.

I made this booking as a one bedroom apartment but it is a studio apartment,

Nothing, the apartment was well equipped

The apartment was very cosy Although it had a full self contained kitchen we ate at the restaurant next door The food was amazing The accommodation was very close to our visit to Beamish and Durham city centre We enjoyed our stay it was peaceful and very quiet The staff were also very helpful and very friendly We would certainly go and stay there again

Having to leave after feeling so relaxed and comfortable
