“Tiny room last decorated 1980s, grubby ensuite out of 1960s but good food”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2010

The Inn is located a couple of miles from Durham so handy to visit the city & countryside.
However, our first impression was the dirty stair carpet up to the rooms, which although basically clean was in desperate need of decorating & so tiny we hardly had floorspace for our bags. The ensuite was a shade of green fashionable in 1950/60, pre-avocado by years. Again there was no space to turn around, only a hand held shower & the tile grout & bath seal were black with mildew - unusable for us.

The one plus for our one night stay was the restaurant which was more recently decorated, the menu varied & food good. I would therefore recommend visiting the restaurant but not to stay - had we not pre-paid we would have walked away on first sight.

“A really homely, friendly little hotel with super home made food.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 June 2010

My colleague and I stayed here for two nights in June, sharing a twin room. Ok, the decor is a bit dated, but what the heck, the welcome we received was much more important, as was the great choice of home-cooked lunches and dinners. We really enjoyed our stay, but you won't be staying here if you like the clinical, characterless, uniformity of the big chain discount hotels. We preferred the olive green bathroom, quirky staircases, jolly barman and the 'no problem' attitude!

“A real gem.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2010

We had such a warm welcome - much needed after a long journey. We were treated to great home cooking at very affordable prices. Relaxing, homely atmosphere. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Stayed at the three horseshoes on a business trip with 2 of my colleagues January this year. Upon arrival staff were very friendly and sorted our room out very fast indeed. Food was fantastic and the bed was one of the most comfortable i've slept in in years. Can't recommend this place enough
