The hotel is conveniently located in the village center, close to all shops and restaurants. The staff is friendly and accommodating, even helping guests with last-minute room changes. The rooms are clean and cozy, with a delicious breakfast to start the day off right.
The bar has early closing times, which can be disappointing for guests who want to enjoy a late-night drink.

The Unicorn is a charming pub with real character, located in the heart of a quaint village. Being around for over 700 years, it exudes an authentic and historical ambiance. The friendly staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, offering clear directions and recommendations for local eateries. The comfortable rooms provide all the necessary amenities, including unexpected touches like a hairdryer. The full breakfast is delicious, and the bar offers a wide selection of drinks, including a tempting gin menu.
Some rooms may have a slight unpleasant smell, which can be attributed to the nature of an old building.

This hotel in the Lake District is full of character and well worth visiting. The friendly staff make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive, and their attention to detail is evident throughout. The rooms are comfortable and come with all the usual facilities you would expect, including a bathroom en suite. The location is superb, situated over a friendly pub where you can enjoy a drink or two in the evenings. And the breakfast served in the morning is absolutely fantastic - a great way to start the day.
All in all, I had a great stay at this hotel. Everything was ok.
