As well as serving good, traditional food, there is a wide range of cask ales and fine wines.

The Inn has 5, recently refurbished, comfortable twin rooms, all en-suite. Drying facilities are available in the unlikely event of Weardale's weather being anything other than glorious. A cot is available on request. Guests may make use of free Internet access.

There is live music on Saturday night, and special theme weekends on a regular basis.

Situated in the historic village of Bowes, the Ancient Unicorn has, for centuries, been a resting place for travellers who journey across the Pennines. Today it's a great place for walkers and cyclists, for an overnight stay or as a base for a regional holiday.

The Ancient Unicorn is also perfectly placed to lunch or dine after visiting nearby Bowes Museum and Barnard Castle, or for much needed refreshment after one of the many exhilarating walks in the surrounding countryside.

In keeping with the coaching Inn tradition we offer travellers cosy bedrooms with en-suite, coffee and tea making facilities, and colour television. Rooms are available on the ground floor for those not wishing to climb stairs.

The candle-lit restaurant at the Ancient Unicorn offers a fine cuisine with dishes not only inspired by Teesdale but also from culinary delights around the world, freshly prepared, where possible from local produce.

Choose from the range of daily changing regional specialities, the à la carte menu or the mouth watering vegetarian options which are just as appetising to non-vegetarians.

Renowned for the quality of its food, it carries an RAC Dining Award, the Inn is all one might suppose an English country Inn should be, with superb accommodation, a warm and comfortable ambience, great wines and well-kept local beers.
