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.

The location was ideal as it was in the centre of the town, with all of the facilities nearby, including the castle, which was our reason for visiting Barnard Castle. The restaurant/breakfast room was very clean and the staff were friendly and efficient. We enjoyed the breakfast but the black pudding was rather dry and the poached eggs whites were not fully cooked. The cleanliness of the hotel, overall was excellent.
Located in the picturesque hamlet of Greta Bridge, this traditional and peaceful 4-star AA hotel is in a beautiful location close to the Tees Valley and Yorkshire Dales.

Plenty of shops, coffee bars, pubs .lots of history old buildings with interesting blue plaques.
Steep in parts so I think it’s better for people who like to walk.
Favourite pub was the Blue Bell very friendly and how a pub use to be.
Lots of antiques shops to browse around.
Nothing to avoid all good.

First I met lovely people at the Book Aid shop that drew me in on the way to the castle. A woman there informed of the existence of some little known or advertised places of historical interest. The well known points of interest, the castle, the Bowes Museum, and the Butter Market—wryly referred to by local people as “the round thingy” in the middle of the high street—lived up to expectations. The charity thrift shops and the Witham, a cultural center cum shop on the High Street offered wonderful shopping. People working at the castle, the Bowes museum, and the food co-op were wonderfully helpful, The food and service at Blagraves in a remarkable building, parts of which date from the 15th century, were excellent.
The town is easy to get around. Almost everything to be seen and done is on three contiguous streets, Galgate, the High Street, and the road leading from the Butter Market, about a five-minute walk, to the Bowes Museum (I didn’t get its name). There’s a sign for the castle ruins hidden and sloping downhill behind the Methodist church at the corner of Galgate and High Street.
I was only disappointed to not be able to see the prayer labyrinth in the floor of St.Mary’s Anglican Church at the corner of High Street and the road to the museum. It was covered with chairs occupied by worshippers for a special service with performance by a huge childrens’ choir at the moment I looked in on a Friday afternoon and the seating was being kept in place for several services over that weekend of the third Sunday of Advent. It was a consolation to see such signs of spiritual life in that church, and, God willing, I’ll get to see the labyrinth at a quieter time.

Lovely small town with lots to see and do in surrounding area
Pubs are good and a great choice for eating from breakfast to evening meal
Hecklers cottage was lovely where we stayed but house keeping appalling good job plenty places to eat out
Such a shame !!
We would love to stay again
The hosts (Glenda and Daniele) were wonderful and very kind. We had two rooms: two of us were in the garden room, which was absolutely wonderful. I stayed in the single person room (room 1) which was quite small, but equipped with every amenity and comfortable. Both rooms were on the garden and very quiet at night.
The breakfast was the best English breakfast I have ever had in many trips to the UK!
Parking on the street was free, and it is 10 minute walk to the town centre.
We were looking for a stay near High Force and Barnard Castle so this was perfect! A really reasonable rate with hearty breakfast included. We received simple instructions of how to access our room and were very pleasantly surprised at the lovely room we had. So comfy. We had a shared bathroom but didn’t see another person during our stay. The staff were lovely and the locals friendly and helpful in the bar.
The staff were so welcoming, knowledgeable and accommodating. They were not yet open for meals for the season yet but were still able to serve us a drink when we arrived. After trekking all day, this was a great treat. The room was clean and comfortable. The town is small and cute.
Exceptional breakfast, service and perfect hosts. A lovely gem of a B&B (with the offer of an optional home cooked Italian evening meal). A lovely garden room, absolutely perfect for us and our dog. A perfect location for exploring Barnard Castle. We cannot recommend Homelands more!
the location was excellent right in the centre of town amid all the shops and bars with easy access to the castle and river The property was well equipped clean and comfortable. The host communicated well and left some breakfast staples which were very welcome Very enjoyable stay.
Perfect location in the centre of Barnard Castle. All the equipment you could need for a self-catering getaway. Comfortable bed! Highly recommended. Plenty of nice places to eat within very easy walking distance, and close to the many attractions in the wider area.
Lovely apartment. Right in the center of Barnard castle. Very cozy. Lovely bathroom. Lovely touch from the proprietors on arrival. Milk bread biscuits and cereal. All your cleaning stuff if needed. Nothing wasn't thought off, we will definitely be back again

We loved our stay here! the cottage was spotlessly clean and so comfortable with the BEST shower! There was a generous welcome hamper which made our stay extra special. There is lots to do in the local area and the host was really friendly and welcoming.
The cottage was lovely, spacious and very clean. It was also in a great position overlooking the river and also a short stroll from the main street in Barnard Castle. Overall, it was a beautiful, welcoming property and we highly recommend it.
Lovely hotel with very spacious rooms with big beds. Comfy bar that serves good real ales and good sized meals. The breakfast was very good too. Barnard Castle is a lovely town, you can see why people come her for an eye test.
Situated at Brignell a short country drive from Barnard Castle, through pasture Yorkshire.
Lily Hill Farm is set in green pasture lands, sheep grazing but just a few minutes drive to town and the fabulous Bowes Museum.
Short stay to visit local attractions: very well placed and enjoyed exploring Barnard Castle after 30+ years. Nice room, had everything we needed; lovely shower and everything seemed in good condition; tasty breakfast!
beautiful locations , clean spacious and staff were fantastic. special thank you to Alex for sorting everything for me . I can’t thank her enough and she is a credit to the hotel
Beautiful Flat, clean & comfortable. The Flat is in a great location in Barnard Castle so we have booked this property numerous times for work. The host Mel is amazing!
Staff are helpful and very friendly. Location is great - 10 minutes from Barnard Castle. Very peaceful despite nearness of A66, with walks from the hotel.
