"Reasonable for the price, but I wouldn’t stay there again."

5.0

Great value and characterful property. Great location. Friendly staff. Bed fairly comfortable.

Not great for anyone over 6ft tall. Few things lacking: spare toilet paper, proper bath towels and an extra pillow each. Could do with upgrading the curtains as there is a security light right outside the window that goes on and off all night. Bathroom could do with updating, but that is reflected in the price.

Central, quirky, clean, in a lovely pub setting

Only issue was no parking BUT once we managed to get a spot nearby it was easy and enabled us to enjoy being there for longer as managed on parking times

"Great staff , cosy no frills traditional pub with great live music"

5.0

Nice cosy old school pub

The rooms are due an upgrade, this wasn't known at the time of booking but outlined in the room details on our arrival . The room was clean but very tired looking ,with no TV which I would have expected. I'm sure once the refurbishment has taken place , this will definitely improve the experience of staying at the Unicorn.
