A lovely hotel where the staff were absolutely wonderful, the kids were over the moon with the biscuits the lady on reception gave us, just a little touch but it was lovely. The room was a little dated but had all we needed and was well maintained and clean which is more important than the era of furniture (think 1990s pine era). The initial lack of signage for the car park had us almost parking out the front in a car park full of pot holes but as we got out we realised the car park was round the back son drove round there instead. The car park was well lit, covered by cctv, and easy access to the bar and hotel. There’s also a really good little park for the kids to be entertained if you want to sit out back for a bit. Overall it was excellent value for money and we would definitely go back.

A good choice

We used to take our children here years ago on riverside trips and were really pleased by our four night stay. Nice clean room with very big bed, relaxing pub, good food and a quiet location with plenty of free parking space. Staff are nice and helpful. We'll be back.

Massive carpark at the front and back. Check in at the side of the bar The room was up a flight of stairs and you need a code to get into the corridor. The room was a good size as was the bathroom. Quite drab and worn looking decor, lots of repair jobs, no headboard but just marked walls as seen in photos! The bed was ok Wifi is good The shower was ok Evening meal was limited menu due to a burst water pipe in the restaurant! Went for the chicken and mushroom pie Very overcooked pie with rather tough pastry. Good size portion Not bad value. Breakfast is not included but can be added if wanted. Location right opposite a river with some nice walks. Not much else close by though. Would stay again if there was nothing else close by.

Nice location

The room was comfortable. I ate in the restaurant, which was pleasant but my food was very late. When I chased, they had. An explanation - there was no coleslaw. I didn't want any anyway and would have appreciated the opportunity to let them know before my stomach thought my throat had been cut...! I was disturbed very early because of a burst pipe. It didn't affect me or my room, luckily. I think it's a nice hotel l and well placed for m my business trips. I will visit again and give them another shot. The staff were pleasant and tried to be helpful.

I have stayed at two Marston Inns before and this one was different! The rooms are very old, well decorated but had not been properly cleaned. There were large cobwebs on my ceiling that had obviously been there for a long time. The staff are very friendly and seem to be rather obsessed about reviews. The food was rather overcooked and dry and the service, especially at breakfast was very slow. The location is superb.

We had a lovely time!

I stayed at The Unicorn with my 6 year old daughter for 2 midweek nights in August. The staff were amazing, especially Jackie and Hannah. The evening meal was great value and the continental breakfast was delicious! The bed was the most comfortable I think I've ever slept on. The building itself does need a little tidying up. The seals on the shower were a little grubby and some of the paintwork and carpets in the rooms were looking tired. The bar and food areas were lovely though. We had no problems getting our electric car charged and the little climbing frame in the beer garden round the back kept my little one entertained for ages.
