The Three Horseshoes offers comfortable rooms in beautiful surroundings. With rooms accessed via outside stairs, you can enjoy independence with great breakfasts and meals. All rooms are on the first floor, so sadly they are unsuitable for those with mobility issues.

Their son Philip is Head Chef a The Three Horseshoes Inn, having trained at Manchester Met. University and travelled extensively. He is passionate about food especially using local ingredients to produce the menu.

The Three Horseshoes Inn is mentioned in a local history book as being a tavern in 1841 run by a blacksmith called John Turnbill, his family continued to keep the inn until 1910, combining Innkeeping with a Blacksmith shop where the end of the restaurant is now. One of the regulars, Edward Legge – one of 17 children from a local farming family who still farm at our neighbouring Shortwood farm – remembers helping his father bring horses to the Inn to be shod, Edward’s job was to hold the horse’s head while his father retired to the Bar for a quart of Ale!

We assume that the name The Three Horseshoes came from the fact that horses came here with only three shoes.

The Three Horseshoes was bought and renovated by local couple Norman and Janet Whittall 20 years ago. Norman and Janet know the area well since they both grew up in Bromyard.
