This was my second stay at Three Horseshoes and my first with my husband. While the room was not quite to the level of my first stay, it was still outstanding and my husband agreed it was our best choice for future visits to Durham.
The rooms are clean, tastefully furnished, spacious and comfortable and have every amenity. Both rooms had a window view worthy of a postcard!! Free on-site parking was great.
The included breakfast is outstanding! It is a proper menu item choice and the full English ordered by my son and husband was enormous and delicious. While I missed breakfast on this trip (they were happy to provide toast and coffee for my husband to bring to our room), the salmon and eggs from my first visit still ranks as one of the best I’ve had!
Only a couple of small issues marred this visit. Unlike my first room, this room was over the restaurant/bar area. Although this is a low-key establishment (not a rowdy student bar), there was still enough noise from below to make an early bedtime difficult, if one is a light sleeper. I will remember to request a room further away in the future. There was also something wrong with the taps on the shower. Both seemed to do nothing for several full, 360 degree rotations, and one lost a piece in the process!?! We were eventually able to achieve water flow at a fixed temperature, but still not sure how… They are, however, huge rain shower heads and very clean facilities, so hard to complain.
Overall, highly recommended!!
