Three Chimneys Inn & Frost Sawyer Tavern - Inn in Durham - 17 Newmarket Rd, USA

Three Three Chimneys Inn is historic, but also cozy and welcoming- we really enjoyed our stay! The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the grounds are beautiful. The old buildings are so interesting and I love that the Inn shares the history of the land and the buildings. We enjoyed the restaurant, and breakfast in the morning was much appreciated. The only thing to be aware of is that everything shuts down early - the whole area seemed to be totally dark and closed by 9pm. This isn't necessarily a negative point, we just found it surprising! It's definitely a great place for relaxing, it was nice and quiet.

We've wanted to try the restaurant for years and finally got there. First of all, to be clear, the pictures of the charming tables and well lit dining room with fireplace don't apply. You're downstairs in the tavern. Dark and cave-like but cozy. Smelled like cooking broccoli when we arrived. But we were seated at a nice table for two. Service was prompt and attentive. The server was very nice. Menu wasn't large but read well. We had the charcuterie board, which was ample but not particularly special. Still it was good if a little pricey. Drinks were large (I love getting the shaker along with my martini) and the craft cocktails were good. Entree's were well portioned and delicious. Lobster ravioli was great. Steak got overcooked but they remedied that quickly. All in all a very good experience and we would return.

We enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was better than anticipated since we expected continental but it included waffles, hard-boiled eggs and lots more. The Tavern downstairs was enjoyable with friendly staff and delicious food.

Our room was the most unique one I have ever stayed in. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We also loved our dinner and drinks in the cozy bar. Highly recommend!

The whole atmosphere was amazing! It was a great balance of historic while still feeling renovated. The Tavern was incredible from the menu to the service to the vibes! Only thing I'd caution about is being the third in a room. I slept on the cot and was a bit uncomfortable but nonetheless a great room!!! Will be coming back!!

We enjoyed our meals here. The lobster ravioli was fantastic. I loved the history of this tavern. We went on a busy night, however, service was still great.

I stayed here on the last leg of a solo road trip and it was a very relaxing atmosphere to end my trip. My check-in staff member was wonderful and even helped me carry my bags to my room. I stayed in a King room in the building beside the main office. Bed was comfy and room was spacious. Many restaurants deliver through DoorDash to the hotel, which was very convenient. Breakfast was a standard continental cold breakfast (fruit, yogurt, juice) with a Belgian wafflemaker. It was simple, but tasty. Would stay here again.

I was planning a memorial service for my father. I had been communicating with Kelsey. She gave me a choice of dates and a menu, and we had even agreed on a date and time window. When I asked about putting down a deposit to reserve the space she literally disappeared. I haven't heard from her since. You'd think this place would have more professionalism and respect for someone grieving a parent. I'm honestly disgusted.
