We have stayed at this hotel on several occasions. You get a warm welcome, clean room and hearty breakfast which is excellent value. Not posh but nor are the prices. I would highly recommend this gem of a hotel. Thank you Ed and Sue More

Finally after an hour's wait we managed to get in, being greeted by... More

I stayed in the hotel as part of a cycling weekend. The room was basic, clean and functional, it had an en-suite and towels supplied. A small TV, and tea and coffee making facilities available. Cooked breakfast is extra at £2 and needs to be booked for the next day. Staff pleasant if not a bit brusque, but this is... More

This is an independently run hotel in a small town and it is a perfectly good example of that. It is clean, it is comfortable, the proprietors are welcoming and the service is good. There is nothing flashy or extraneoous. It doesn't have a fur coat and its knickers are large and well fitting. The night we were there, the... More

The staff are very friendly & helpful. This is a great place. However it is an ancient hotel on a market square of the town location grate but... More

My husband and I booked this centrally located 'hotel' as I had 1 days work. We paid £70 in total - as the family room was all they had left, usually £68, I negotiated it to £60 with £10 extra to check out at 12noon. They said, we couldn't touch the single bed though as they has done it for... More

My wife and I were attending a friends wedding on the Sunday and seeing as we had to travel almost 300 miles from our home to the wedding we traveled up on the Saturday and needed a place to stay in Skipton on the Saturday night. The reason we chose the Unicorn was because it offers very good value for... More
