Location
The Three Horseshoes is prominently located on Lanchester Road at the corner junction with Edge Lane and Tower Road, forming part of the main thoroughfare through the village of Maiden Law. Lanchester Road links directly with the A693 to the north and the A691 to the south, providing excellent connectivity to surrounding towns and villages.
Maiden Law is situated approximately 2.8 miles south west of Stanley, 1.2 miles south of Annfield Plain, and 1.5 miles north of Lanchester. Durham city centre lies around 8 miles to the south east and can be reached within approximately 20 minutes by car. Durham is a historic city, home to Durham University and its iconic Norman Castle, which has featured in the filming of the Harry Potter series. Newcastle upon Tyne is accessible in just over 30 minutes by car.
The village benefits from regular bus services, with a bus stop located directly outside the property. While Maiden Law is a small rural village with limited amenities, it is supported by nearby guest houses, a campsite, and strong road and public transport links. County Durham is a predominantly rural area that is popular with both residents and tourists alike.

Internally, the property operates as a restaurant and bar offering approximately 90 covers. The business currently operates Tuesday to Saturday, providing lunch and dinner service alongside bar service from 12:00.
There is a separate enclosed function room suitable for private dining, parties, and larger group bookings, in addition to the main dining and bar area. The property is Free of Tie, although a running supply contract with Heineken is in place.
