The Ancient Unicorn

Great two day stay at the Ancient Unicorn. Made most welcome by the friendly staff, and a special shout out for Susan who cooked our fab breakfasts (and evening meal). Lovely room (No 1) right at the top with great views. Excellent Value for money.

The rooms are clean and comfortable with a great shower. internet is none existent in the old building so ask for a different room lower down if you need connection all the time. Staff were friendly and helpful; breakfast and dinner were really good and tasty.

Booked a few hours in advanced as biking on the road. A friendly welcome, room spotless, views exceptional. Parking safe. Main meal hit the spot. All the staff exceptionally friendly. Great nights sleep. Breakfast was Wow amazing. Manager was so lovely, that she even offered a laundry service as she knew we was traveling on motorbike. The extra mile of customer service made it a place we would definitely go back to on our travels..

What a great old place. Carli is a super host and really went out of her way to help me. She gave me a lift to my train station the morning I left. The place is old, but well maintained, clean and everything works. Food is good pub standard with a decent beer selection.

Lovely Sunday lunch. Friends commented on the very friendly, cheerful atmosphere- buzzing. Great improvement opening up the bar room

Booked for a one night stay to break our journey home. For all it's a nice enough place I wouldn't have booked it had I known the shared bathroom was not on the same floor. This should be highlighted in the room description so as we are made aware before considering booking. We had to go down 2 flights of stairs each time we needed to use the bathroom. Tolerable for one night but no more. The bedroom itself was clean and had everything we needed but was a bit on the small side. Not alot of room between the bed and the walls. The bed didn't provide the best night's sleep and the pillows were awful. We went for an evening meal which after reading some reviews weren't expecting anything exciting but to our surprise the food was very nice. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Breakfast however was a bit of a letdown. Priced at £13.50 I was expecting a larger breakfast. 1 sausage 1 bacon 1 egg 1 hash brown 1 black pudding a wedge of tomato and beans. Would expect at least 2 sausage and 2 bacon. Very disappointed. There was a good choice of cereals etc available although It proved difficult to see what was in the containers as they weren't labeled and the containers weren't of a clear see through type so opted for the pre packaged cereal. The bread was nice but the toaster was very slow. All in all with the room we had, like I say I could tolerate it for one night but any longer I would have to stay in another room with either ensuite facilities or bathroom on the same floor.
