"Good value accommodation in a great location."

7.0

The location is great, and for the price paid, was worth staying at the Unicorn. Staff were super friendly when checking in and showing me to the room. Lovely folks.

The noise travelled quite a bit from the bar so was difficult to get to sleep but settled shortly after 11pm. The shower didn’t work properly, it was either so hot I couldn’t stand under it, or freezing cold.

"Great area and lovely stay."

8.0

Good location, clean, and had food/drinks music down at the bar

Room was very small, low ceilings but great value for the price just if you were spending any time in the room it was a bit cramped.

"Lovely pub with rooms"

8.0

Staff were very friendly and helpful, the location is fantastic for exploring Ambelside and surrounding areas.

There's no onsite parking, nearest parking is a 10min walk away which is fine if you're light on luggage. Rooms are ok, very basic but they have all the necessities. As it is an old establishment, floors are very creaky which means you do hear everyone walking around at various hours.

"Cosy little pub in Ambleside - lovely atmosphere, good food and comfy beds."

8.0

Friendly staff, lovely pub, food was great and the beds were comfy. Location was good and it was perfect for what we needed.

Little bit noisy - people passing our room to get to theirs, and the people in the room above.
