We loved the quaintness of the hotel - it was beautiful too. The area is perfect for walking/rambling and was very quiet. The staff we encountered were lovely, kind, helpful and polite. And we particularly loved Gus, the resident doggie. Checking in was easy when we realised it was a staff-free experience and had to use codes and lock boxes to get the keys - simple and effective.

Not great
No WiFi available in our room even though it is stated on the website. You had to go down to the door of the bar in the pub to pick up the WiFi. I contacted the number given and they sent the WiFi password a couple of hours later after they obviously didn't read my message properly. I measured back but heard nothing else. The hairdryer in the room turned on, got hot without blowing air and then shut down, I left a note saying this may be a fire hazard.

Unfortunately our stay was ruined by the repulsive smell contained within the property (Charles Dickens Cottage). When we arrived the smell of damp dogs was overwhelming. We were offered a tokenistic can of air freshener to spray around the property. This failed to eliminate the smell which remained all week. This was compounded by a number of soft furnishings containing dog hair. The property is defined as pet friendly on their website but be warned (certainly within the Charles Dickens Cottage) that if you have sensitive smell you would be advised to book a different cottage!

A very convenient overnight stop on our drive north to Scotland. Lovely old building in the heart of the village. We arrived late but had been provided with codes that gave us access to our 3-person room, which was very comfortable and fine for an overnight stay but might be a bit small if you were staying longer. Very comfortable beds but rather a lot of noise from the adjacent room. Very good value for money - we would certainly consider returning to use the Ancient Unicorn as a base for exploring the local area.

Happy visitors
We were delighted by this place, we had a very warm welcome and very well appointed, spotlessly clean rooms; which were very comfortable. The food was good and the atmosphere very relaxing. Cheerful friendly staff made it a good place to stopover on our travels.

Not happy with the check-in!!!
We travelled 4 hours to get here to find out that the code they had given us wasn't working. With two tired children, we kept trying the door and making phone calls where we just got told that they didn't have any booking by my name. They kept asking if we were at the right place!! After around 45 minutes or so, the lady at the pub downstairs, tells us as a matter of fact that it was door 15 and not door 1 that we were allotted!! The door number on the WhatsApp message sent to us was 1!!! She also shouted out our door passcode out loud in a pub full of customers!! And after one of our outings, we found our door open (none of our stuff was missing and no, it wasn't opened by the staff for cleaning as the neither the bins were emptied nor the dirty mugs taken away). No apologies at all for any of the things listed above!! And she behaved as if it was our fault for some reason! We made a formal complaint and got a compensation. Apart from the very disappointing check-in, we enjoyed the stay there. The apartment was in an old cottage style and very beautifully kept!

Cosy means not much space. Shelf in bathroom and coat hooks would have been really useful. No evening meal to be had anywhere on a Sunday evening unless you drive somewhere . We were on foot and couldn't even get a pizza delivery. The howling baby in the next room was just unfortunate.

Such a great place with an interesting history. It is well located for local attractions and the service was excellent. I (personally) found the bed uncomfortable but that could just be me.

Had a double room in the courtyard which was large, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was nice with various cooked options available including vegetarian. Range of cereals, yoghurts and juices. Had evening meal at the hotel on one evening. We were the only people eating and arrived a few mins later than our booked time. We were thrown the menus and told we needed to look at them quickly as they were behind schedule. Food was ok but not great. We sat in the bar for a while having drinks in front of the log fire but it was obvious that we weren't that welcome when our request to add more wood was ignored and so we left. On another evening we returned from Barnard Castle at 9pm hoping to get a drink in the bar but it was all locked up. Eat in Barnard Castle the other evenings which has a good range of nice pubs and restaurants. Can recommend the Three Horseshoes Hotel and Babuls. A great stopover on the Pennine Way but won't be returning for a holiday due to feeling unwelcome.

Room was fine, but the bar and restaurant was aimed at just guest staying. Advised to book restaurant as busy but when we went to eat there was only one other couple, presume chef can’t cope with more than one table at a time, food was mediocre, breakfast was fine. There was no atmosphere in bar or restaurant so we went across the road to social club which was very welcoming

Hi Keith Thanks for your review, all points noted, we just offer home cooked food and always through bookings to manage the numbers, as when we are full we can serve upto 60 guests, the resturant was quiet as all the other 11 rooms were let to a large contractor who do their own catering, glad you had a good time at the social club and supported them

Not far from Barnard Castle off A66
Most of the accommodation is across the courtyard, which can be annoying if its raining and you want to go to the restaurant! Good service and good food.

One night stop.
Small country pub, overnight stay in dog friendly room in courtyard building. Fine for dog walking holiday. Would be improved by having a small selection of toiletries, rather than the large bottle of half used shower gel in the bathroom. Good home cooked evening meal and breakfast.

We stayed on a Saturday night, had booked room in advance and also ate in restaurant and had phoned to reserve table, absolute must to do this as were very busy. Accommodation was clean and comfortable, owners very pleasant and helpful. Lovely surroundings. Would recommend.

Friendly helpful staff, large car park. Lovely room, comfy bed, v powerful hot shower. Food ok standard pub grub. The choice of beers didn’t suit me as no craft ales but fine for trad ales and lager. Let me keep my bycycle in the room. Couldn’t find any shampoo or shower gels in room. Beautiful surroundings with lovely walk to castle and along river.

It was okay for a night but I thought the room could have been cleaner and the bathroom was awkward. The service could have been a bit warmer in general.
