The Three Horseshoes Hotel draws consistent praise for spotless rooms, friendly staff, and tasty pub dining, with a central Barnard Castle location that’s handy for sightseeing and an inviting bar atmosphere popular with guests and locals alike.
Many guests highlight comfortable, modern rooms and good value, including off-site courtyard or stable rooms that are spacious and quiet. Common downsides include occasional noise from the bar or street, steep or narrow stairs to some rooms, parking with limited spaces or some distance away, and a few isolated issues with breakfast dishes or minor room maintenance. Overall, it suits travelers seeking a cozy, reliable base with a classic inn feel.

Located in the centre of town - a short walk from Barnard Castle itself, the magnificent Bowes Museum, local shops and bus services. Although the pub and restaurant were packed, the staff provided excellent, friendly and efficient service. Great menus for dinner and breakfast and the food itself was superb in every respect. Parking can be an issue - the hotel's own parking has very limited spaces and is some distance from the hotel itself although porterage was offered for baggage. Our room (4) was very comfortable, quiet, clean and peaceful - perhaps stronger bedside lighting for reading would have been useful. We very much enjoyed our stay and the hotel would be our first choice for our next trip to this beautiful area of Durham and Yorkshire.

Very good location and parking good at the rear of the property. Room was up 2 flights of narrow stairs. Said to be an upgrade but was quite ordinary!! Facilities were ok but we were disappointed on arrival not to be advised about booking a table for dinner - when we retuned for dinner there was nothing available. Breakfast was plentiful, good choice but hot food was very over-cooked, Staff generally pleasant

Perfect refurbished Pub with rooms, we stayed in courtyard Rooms, ground Floor, immaculate, recently refurbished and up to date furnishings and bathroom. Great looking Bar Meals although we didn't have one but we did have a superb breakfast with plenty of choice from full English to every variation of eggs Benedict. Staff were super smiley and friendly from the housekeeper, Receptionist to Bar Staff Outdoor terrace front and back gorgeous and well maintained. The place had history, character and a good atmosphere. What's not to like. WE BE BACK!

This is an excellent family run hotel. The owners' care and attention to detail is apparent throughout. Our room was spotlessly clean, comfortable and with all the necessary facilities. The bathroom was spacious - we would have preferred a separate shower rather than climbing in and out of the bath but that is a personal preference. Breakfast was very good with a great selection of fruit, cereals etc and delicious fresh cooked hot food.

An old coaching inn that has been gutted to remove all traces of character. That said scrupulously clean, helpful staff, good bedroom (6) up a lot of stairs. Breakfast good (stick to traditional), other options smothered in gloopy inferior Hollandaise sauce or similar. Dinner rather ordinary. Altogether rather overrated in other reviews. Good but not special.

We had a fantastic stay at the Three Horseshoes in Barnard Castle. Our room was extremely well-equipped and spotlessly clean. It was a lovely touch to find a kettle with plenty of tea/coffee making facilities and biscuits waiting for us. The staff were wonderfully friendly and helpful throughout our stay, making us feel right at home. Breakfast was another highlight—there was an excellent variety on the menu, ranging from a full cooked breakfast to cereals, fresh fruit, and juices. It’s in a great location for exploring the area, with convenient car parking available just behind Morrisons. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

The staff were excellent at check in and during the times that I spoke to them. We stayed in one of the rooms off site and would recommend that the off site rooms have umbrellas to get across for breakfast when it rains. This is not a negative point just an idea as the hotel was an excellent stay
