| Comments by walkers who stayed at The Ancient Unicorn Inn in Bowes on The Pennine Way | |
| Our worst accommodation in 20 nights. Bowes has nothing to offer so make it a long day and head on to the delightful small town of Middleton in Teesdale. | |

| You don't have a huge choice at this point on the Pennine Way, having fought through the bogs from Tan Hill. So you may have to swallow pride and stay here just for the experience. This place is only just acceptable for accomodation; the food is amongst the worst cuisine in the UK! Everything partially thawed from their ancient freezer. | |

| I had a really nice overnight stay at the Ancient Unicorn. Landlady Joanne was coming up to her first anniversary in charge and had clearly made a lot of improvements. The room I had was nicely refurbished and seemed very good value. Dinner was wholesome and home-cooked, and breakfast too. I loved the ambience of the old coaching inn, which has loads of history. | |

| Stayed here twice in the same room as broke our walk in Bowes and Bowes Moor hotel was being renovated. Just about ok room but bed ancient and full of springs, evening meal good, but porridge at breakfast was very poor. | |

| Think it had just changed hands when I stayed. Very helpful staff, evening meal enormous and very enjoyable. Bedroom was tired and dirty but I suspect this will improve as the new management take over and make their mark. Not good value at present. | |

| Accomodation is 'chalet type' in what may well have been a converted stable. Rooms were fine with provate facilities and they were very helpful in changing our booking from 2 singles to a single and a twin at short notice. Excellent range of local beers including a couple from the Linton Brewery kept me happy, and not far to stagger back to bed. A bit pricey, though you come to expect that at pubs | |

| A good reason for keeping the Bowes Loop open. Good food and good company in the bar afterwards and another fine north east walker friendly welcome. A good stop over. | |
