Cozy stay with friendly service
The owners were so chill and accommodating. Had a delicious hearty dinner that hit the spot, and the breakfast options were fab too. A bit more variety in the dining would be nice, though.

We stayed in a Small Double Room and it was cute and comfortable. The bed was super cozy, and we got a good night's sleep. It felt like a little haven after our long day of walking. The decor had a quirky charm which I liked, but it was a bit dark inside, even with the lamps on. it was a nice place to rest my head for the night.

Had a fantastic time with my friends! We explored the ruins of Egglestone Abbey and took a scenic walk along the River Tees. The stay was enjoyable, with a clean room and delicious meals that were reasonably priced. Staff were helpful and friendly, making everything easier.
It wasn't clear beforehand, which made our evening plans a bit stressful.

I thoroughly enjoyed the charming decor of The Ancient Unicorn, which was warm and inviting. Accessibility was good, with all main areas conveniently located, making it easy for seniors like myself to move around comfortably.
More comfortable seating in common areas would be nice.

Perfect for a quick getaway
Had a fab last-minute stay with my partner. The room, although a bit away from the main pub, was super comfy and cozy! The shower was on point too. We were pleasantly surprised by the breakfast selection. Just a heads-up, the check-in can be a bit strange if you arrive when it's closed, but it added some adventure. Would love to visit again!

Cozy stay with a twist!
Loved my stay! The room was super comfy and had this cool vintage vibe, unlike the usual plain places. Dinner was delish, specially the presentation. Only thing was the steep stairs. a bit tricky after a long day! the parking space was really handy for us.

Couple getaway with memorable moments
We were greeted by the friendly staff who treated us like we were long-time friends. The food was top-notch, particularly the dinner we had, which was genuinely cooked to perfection.
It wasn't exactly budget-friendly, but still tolerable.
