The Three Horseshoes Hotel  

In the heart of Barnard Castle’s historic market town, a short walk from Barnard Castle and the Bowes Museum. Set beside the River Tees and serving as a gateway to Teesdale and the North Pennines AONB, it’s also close to Raby Castle and High Force.

Housed in a 17th‑century building that underwent a major refurbishment, this boutique inn offers around a dozen–plus rooms with modern en‑suite bathrooms, large comfortable beds, TV, hairdryers and complimentary Wi‑Fi. Expect a mix of classic character and refreshed fixtures, a garden and easy access to walking and cycling routes.

Standout features include an outdoor tennis court, garden and table‑tennis area, plus free on‑site self parking. Walkers and cyclists will love the location; there’s luggage storage and a computer station on site. Wake up to Teesdale mornings and unwind in the bar/lounge after a day exploring.

Free Wi‑Fi and a computer station are available, and the hotel can host meetings and small conferences in its event space.

A newly refurbished restaurant serves a complimentary full breakfast daily and dishes made from fresh ingredients. The bar offers a warm, friendly atmosphere for drinks and pub‑style evenings.
