- Charlotte (10/5): Excellent place to stay and eat. - Really enjoyed our 2 night stay here. If we are ever going to be back in the area we would try to stay here. Breakfast fantastic and the lady who served us both days was brilliant! So friendly and accommodating! People behind the bar were also so lovely and friendly, as well as the wait staff when we had our evening meal. We had planned to eat out but due to the very reasonably priced menu we decided to eat here and so glad we did! Lovely food and very good price! Thoroughly recommend staying and eating here.

- Lesley (7/5): Short break - In a good location, near The A1m which was not troublesome. Good parking. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good WiFi. Drink tray provided. We had a smaller room, bed too small for adults over 6ft. The room was very hot even with the heating off. Fan provided which was quiet and effective. Could not leave window open as noise from kitchen extractors very intrusive.
- Colin (10/5): Wonderful, comfy stay with great hospitality and food - Staff were just wonderful, Andrew was above and beyond but everyone was just so friendly. Food was terrific, large portions and served super fast. Defiantly return when next in the area - thank you for a great stay Hard to say really, it was a little remote but felt like the centre of town in the evening
- Tracey (10/5): Lovely stay - Staff are so friendly and helpful
Place is just lovely And the food is so good.
11 mins to Durham nice and easy.
Would.definately stay again. The emergency light in the room came on in the early hours and it woke me up. That is really all I could find to point out we had a great stay
- Rob (10/5): Excellent pub and food within easy reach of Sunderland! - Excellent pub and restaurant. Exceptional food, and very nice staff. Spotlessly clean. Would definitely return. A minor issue, but there was a fire sensor in the room with a green LED in the ceiling which was quite bright.
- Hunter (10/5): - Good comfortable accommodation
- Leanne (10/5): Exceptional!! 5☆ B&B! - We stayed two nights while visiting for a funeral and so glad we chose the Three Horseshoes. Even before our stay they were so informative and accommodating. The room was beautifully furnished, it was clear a lot of thought and love has gone into the decor. Room was spotlessly clean and comfortable, with beautiful countryside views and horses in the field. Then the restaurant, wow! We had a meal the first night; Sirloin Steak and Ribeye Steak (both cooked perfectly) and Mixed Kebab Skewer - the food couldn't have been better! Then brekkie in the morning was so good! Fresh quality ingredients, all drinks included. Lovely atmosphere with background music and such friendly attentive staff.
Highly recommend and would 100% book again if ever in the area! 🤩 Nothing

- Conor (9/5): Lovely welcoming B&B above English country pub - Above the pub and a nice restaurant, lovely mix of authentic country pub and B&B. The rooms are cosy and the bed was very comfortable Only thing was that we missed breakfast as we had to leave at 8am and breakfast on Sunday starts from 9am. However the staff left us a packed breakfast to take with us
- Kelvin (9/5): We’ll recommend - Convenient and comfortable.
- Cefn (9/5): Excellent stay in a well run and busy pub - The property was very well maintained and nicely decorated. The bedroom was a little on the small side.
- Ann (9/5): Very friendly and relaxing. - Breakfast was very good. Staff excellent. Location easy to find. Could not fault anything. Car park can be very busy between 5pm and 7pm
- Darren (10/5): Comfy bed, fantastic food the evening before in the restaurant, spoilt for choice with the menu👌 - Only my hubby had breakfast as I left early for the Great North Run, but he was very impressed. Nothing, it was spot on, Thank you.
Would stay here again if up this way.
- Patricia (10/5): Very enjoyable and would return in future. - The helpful staff who gave very hood suggestions for seeing local sites of interest Food was excellent but maybe could have extended to snacks I e sandwiches rather than full meals in bar as having eaten out during day really only wanted small bite in the evening
- Denis/Anne (10/5): Good comfortable accommodation staff very friendly food first class. - We eat at this establishment on a regular basis, you are always welcomed with friendly staff good food and a smile There was nothing we did not like.
- Philip (10/5): We had an absolutely fantastic stay, and would highly recommend! The staff are exceptional . - This was our first ever visit to the area. We were made welcome instantly and shown our lovely room. Evening meal was so yummy, with good vegetarian options. I really enjoyed veggie haggis with tattie potatoes. The next morning our breakfast was also delicious with perfectly cooked poached eggs every time, as was the rest of our food. My oatmilk cappuccino was spot on. Food hot and served promptly, with a good choice of vegetarian options again, served by efficient and friendly staff, who where very informative about the local area when asked. The whole place was absolutely spotlessly clean. Our bed was so comfortable, with good quality bedding, and we heard hardly any noise whatsoever, and slept soundly. We are actually over the moon with our stay, and feel that we got exceptional value for what we paid, and we wish that we could have stayed longer! Well done to all the lovely staff, each one of you really made our stay extra special! It was perfect. No, complaints.
- Antony (9/5): -
- Carmel (10/5): Excellent stay under difficult circumstances for us as visiting two very ill relatives. - Excellent selection on menu for breakfast and evening meal. Good quality produce and well cooked.
Staff were smiley, friendly and very helpful.
Room not massive but perfectly adequate and tastefully decorated with pleasant view. Smoke alarm detector light on ceiling in bedroom shone very brightly at night which was a bit annoying when trying to sleep. Would bring sleeping mask next time.
Could do with somewhere to hang the small towel in the bathroom.
- Paul Andrew (9/5): -
- Cefn (9/5): -
- Jane (9/5): Excellent again - 2nd visit and still excellent. A long way to go to get a better breakfast than this, its no wonder they are heaving at weekends. Food is incredible, rooms lovely, staff friendly. Will be back.
- Jeremy (10/5): A little gem in the North - Convenient position, just off our route to Scotland. Friendly staff and a handy restaurant on site.
Lovely room with a firm but comfortable bed. The fact I haven't found the place before!
- Alan (10/5): - The staff were friendly, the room was lovely and warm, comfortable and clean with a nice selection of complementary beverages.
I wish we had the option to have booked dinner when booking the hotel. As is was very busy when we arrived and the food looked amazing (we came back the following evening before we drove home to end our trip we where not disappointed.
The breakfast was excellent quality with a massive choice to choose from too. Nothing very satisfied we had a lovely stay
- Ebblewhite (10/5): - Highly recommend Nothing
- Colin (9/5): The Three Horseshoes is a fantastic place to stay. It’s comfortable, clean and great value. -
- Tracy (10/5): -
- Mildred (8/5): A very comfortable stay with a fantastic breakfast. - This is located in a quiet area and close enough to visit Beamish for the day. It was spotless clean, and the restaurant was good, however the bar area could be better. The room itself was good but the configuration was poor. There was nowhere to put cases or hang coats which isn’t good for wet clothes. The coat hangers were above the tea making facilities. That said, we would stay again. The room configuration and the bar area. The restaurant made up for the bar.
