An Inside Look at The Unicorn Skipton

The Unicorn hotel has served Skipton visitors for over 100 years and is one of the leading accommodation providers within the local area. January 2015 saw the start of a necessary refurbishment including new bathrooms and full redecoration. Mould, old sprung mattresses, 14-inch televisions and 1970’s avocado bathrooms were replaced. After years of neglect the Unicorn resembled student accommodation. Rooms are simple and well equipped. Our small team of staff make people feel welcome and enjoy going the extra mile. Guests can relax in comfortable beds and breakfast is an impressive choice. Cooked fresh to order from the menu guests frequently comment on the quality of the food. We use local suppliers including Mr Feather for eggs and Andrew from Mearbeck farm for free-range sausages. Currently, 11 rooms enjoy excellent year round high occupancy rates. All of our guests are pointed in the direction of our local pubs, restaurants, and attractions and we are enthusiastic to promote Skipton’s varied offerings. Our aims are to keep improving and provide tourists and business travelers with a modern friendly and affordable place to stay in Skipton.

눉The room smelt of curry as there was an Indian restaurant opposite and with the window the smell was strong so we had to keep it closed to stop the smell, also room was right next to dining area so in morning was woken up with noise from kitchen and there was a nightclub 2 doors down so noise from that.
눇Nice room nice soft bed.

눉Place not clean and smelling bad, they put me into a room between the reception and the breakfast room (noisy and smelling), while i was taking my shower the receptionist knocked the Door and shouted that some water was falling downstairs so I had to interrupt my shower, the noise wake me up early, there was not Place for me to sit for breakfast because the room was full, I had to wait standing the they sit me in a table still dirty with someone else's crumbs. The room was Dusty and the toilet not clean
눇Sky movies and programs included although I have not watched them

“A comfortable place to stay in the middle of Skipton”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Superior King Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉A 13.5 tog duvet in summer is excessive (excessive even in winter in my view) - I think a sheet and a thin blanket could have been provided as an alternative. A fan in the room would have been good as well. The shower water pressure at the top of the building was a bit weak and it took a long time for warm water to reach the room. Lack of parking on site isn't ideal but there is plenty around.
눇The room was comfortable, the welcome was friendly and helpful, the breakfast was excellent. The hotel is well located for the centre of Skipton with lots of nice places to eat nearby.

눉Nothing about the hotel in particular I didn't like, if I was being picky I would say the shower could be a bit more powerful. Also (and not really the hotels problem) we were woken by angry rows from the street which lasted a while at 3am. Maybe keep your windows closed, although it was extremely warm the night we stayed.
눇Easy check in. We had a wedding to get to and the staff made sure our rooms were available early for us. Breakfast was fab, the beds were super comfy. Staff were friendly and helpful, beautifully furnished BnB. We would certainly return.

눉I was looking for a place to put my head overnight and the really small room guaranteed that, but for £39 I didn't expect anything more really. I would have liked a table and chair to work rather than sitting on the bed for 3 hours, but I have no complaints.
눇Friendly guy in charge and breakfast was really nice.

“Brilliant nights sleep in central Skipton location”
- • Leisure trip

- • King Room
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉We were not asked on check out how our stay was otherwise we would have preferred to communicate the following to the Manager in person. We stayed in Room 1. The room would benefit from a deep clean and some TLC as was looking worn and tired round the edges. * Bathroom fan was caked in dust. * TV electrics could be hidden with trunking to tidy the cables snaking across the wall. * Bath panel hanging off. * Very dusty behind the bed and sides of toilet. * Bulb out over the sink mirror. * Would have been nice to have a welcome pack (history of The Unicorn, recomended local eateries, things to see, checkout times, etc.). * Bathroom door supposed to be white but grey with finger prints.
눇Fab nights sleep and a gorgeous breakfast. Good central location and parking arrangements easily sorted. Friendly staff although seemed a little distracted. Free to come and go as pleased.
