We came here to enjoy a night away, and we were very impressed. Beautiful settings, log fires, great selection of drinks, excellent food. This place was great.

Welcome to the Ancient Unicorn. We hope your stay with us will be a pleasant one!
The Ancient Unicorn is a charming, traditional coaching inn dating back 400 years. Situated in the beautiful village of Bowes, close to Barnard Castle , the Ancient Unicorn offers the perfect base from which to explore the beautiful, unspoilt countryside of Teesdale. Just a couple of minutes from the Trans-Pennine A66, we’re also the ideal location for an overnight stopover for guests travelling to and from Scotland and the Lake District.
As important as the accommodation is the food! Whether it’s a full English breakfast to set you up for the day, or a special celebration evening meal, all our food is home- cooked and freshly prepared.
We look forward to welcoming you to beautiful Teesdale.
