The Three Horseshoes Hotel

In the heart of the historic market town of Barnard Castle, The Three Horseshoes Hotel is a 17th century building less than a mile from the River Tees.

We had a GREAT overnight stay at the Three Horse Shoes Hotel - although we actually stayed across the road in their annex - The Stables. Everything was modern, new and perfect. Fully Equipped kitchen, huge comfy bed, washing machine and drying rack with portable heaters, plenty of room to spread out, and security for our touring bicycles. They even included a cooked breakfast for us the next morning - which was unexpected given that we had a kitchen - and it was a great start to our day. We'd certainly stay here again.

Booked Beamish Hall Hotel as it's right next (1 mile drive) to the Beamish Museum. It was also my wife's birthday weekend. From the Reception staff contacting me regarding booking a restaurant reservation to completing my request for flowers and champagne to be placed in the room upon arrival, everyone was absolutely fantastic. Always welcoming no matter how many times we left or entered the hotel. And the room - so spacious and well kept; impressed myself and wife with the quality of the room.

We were there to attend an event at The Witham and to catch up with friends. We ate at The Old Well, which was OK. Lunch at a cafe near the Buttermarket which was lovely with good food and coffee. Barnard Castle is very familiar to us, so enjoy shopping there, but as we usually stay with friends, not much experience of eating out. Love the shop Niche in town and the shops are very accessible and some good, individual shops as opposed to the usual chain stores.

We stayed in Stanley due to the proximity to the Beamish open air museum just a short drive away. The bluebell inn, just a short walk from the Ball Alley, is a restruant within a pub, not a pub serving food. The food had a turkish theme and was wonderful. I will return if in the area again.

The Auckland Project and Bishops Palace was excellent and exceeded our expectations!

The volunteers are marvellous, so knowledgeable, interesting and enthusiastic! Spent a very worthwhile three and a half hours there and would definitely recommend.

We were visiting family in Sunderland and mostly ate there.

We were visiting family in Sunderland and mostly ate there. We ate once - and would definitely go again - at The Half Moon pub which is about 5 minutes drive from the hotel. A very wide menu; plenty of food; lovely staff and warm and comfortable. There are a very few other venues but there is far more in Seaham itself or, of course, Sunderland. There is a lovely cafe called the North cafe on the coast just outside Seaham which is gorgeous though they need to fix the loo door locks! (We did tell them). The roads around Peterlee are new, wide and modern and it is easy to get around. Peterlee is essentially a village and we did not expect to make it our place for more than an overnight accommodation (or in our case 4 nights of a family visit). We are not a young couple and can only comment from the viewpoint of seasoned travellers in our mid-70s!

Beamish is a fantastic place to visit for the whole family.

Beamish is a fantastic place to visit for the whole family. Staff are all in Period Costume of the day and give you the history of that period. It's so big, we recommend riding on one of many Period Trams and Buses to your chosen area, as it can be a long walk. We highly recommend doing Beamish over several daysif you can, as it's too much of a rush to do it all in one day.
