The Unicorn is easy to find at the south end of Stow and its only real disadvantage is that some of the rooms face the main NS road. The hotel deserves its 3* rating. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. As we expected in a historic building, the accommodation is rambling but that adds to the character. Furnishings were generally... more

As with other people who have reviewed this hotel, we were a bit dubious about booking it due to the comments on road noise, creaking floors and the need for a make-over.

We had a very pleasant room, which was a fair size given that the hotel is an old converted building, and the en suite bathroom looked as if it had been recently refitted. We stayed for two nights... more

Earlier last year my partner and I enjoyed a one night stay at The Unicorn booked through late rooms. On the basis of this I decided to book The unicorn for my family christmas to include myself, my sister and my parents who are well into their eighties.

I did not stay at the hotel, but visited the restaurant to see if the food selection was suitable for my aging parents. Because they have difficulty walking, they stayed in my car in the car park across the road while I reviewed the menu. On finding they did not have suitable food selections, I asked the barman for the... more
