Called in for a meal based on previous reviews. Not sure where to start. Don?t like giving poor reviews however this was as poor as it gets do not believe past reviews! The place is unkempt, freezing cold and unwelcoming. Why we stayed to eat is a mystery to me so only have myself to blame! On a good note the beer was great the food however was dreadful, hot chicken wings clearly microwaved swimming in defrosted water disguised as spice which they knocked off the massively overpriced bill. The nearly £18 chilli con carne and £18 lasagne was ok but a 10 year old could have made both better for a couple of pounds. The clearly microwaved ?home made pie of the day? was soggy and under cooked! Be warned! Would not return under any circumstance 1/10

Life is full of regret. Regret is what I have after visiting The Unicorn Bar & Restaurant tonight.Regret, because I've lived in this area for just over 5 years and this is the first time I've been here. I've missed out so much!!What an absolutely delightful Restaurant. Welcomed by amazing staff, with a separate bar and restaurant area.I was honestly surprised with how much variety is on the menu and how good the prices were.One menu item that caught my eye was the double cooked cheesy fries. Hot dang, wow. I mean I've had cheese fries before, but they're often a disappointment. THESE fries though were worth ordering. Even without the cheese they were great. Speaking of cheese, there was a generous amount of very tasty cheese used on these.My wife and I had the Vegetarian and Beef lasagne, which were both exquisite.A wonderful night out, in an absolutely amazing restaurant with great ambience and great staff.Don't live your life in regret - don't take 5 years before you visit here. I promise you won't be disappointed.

What a lovely place! From the moment I messaged to book a table a few days ago their customer service was spot on. Arriving today for Sunday lunch just cemented it. Great customer service, lovely friendly staff, super food (we had a carvery) and excellent value for money. I?m sad we are just visiting and this is not our local!! Sorry no pictures of lunch but couldn?t wait to dive in?

Had an excellent carvery on Sunday dinner time.Lots of choices and very fresh.Service was prompt and owners were hard working and friendly. The food prices were reasonable and the puddings were definitely worth having??

The first time I came it was really nice, great food but the last time I came with my partner for drinks was just uncomfortable. I was waiting at the bar for quite a bar, which is fine, other people were before me, but a family arrived while I was waiting to be served which were then served next so I had to wait even longer, and it wasn?t like the bar staff hadn?t seen me waiting but whatever. When I was finally being served I asked if they had a certain type of lager on tap, I wasn?t sure since I couldn?t see round the whole bar, the staff member pulled a weird, strained face and dramatically raised her shoulders. It was a very bizzare response and I didn?t know how to react, I just asked for something different that I could see they had. She was very short and abrupt with me, made me feel like I?d done something wrong but I wouldn?t have a clue what. Haven?t been back since and probably not going to.

The Unicorn never fails to deliver delicious proper home cooked food. We were a party of 12. Bar staff are friendly with a great selection of wines beers etc. Menu has something for everyone. Food was served all together so no one was left waiting . Nice quality and nice and hot. Fab home cooked chips which is a rare thing to be served these days. I have eaten here many times whilst staying at Maesmawr Farm resort. Thank you to every member er of the team

Great Sunday Carvery - Dog friendly in Bar or outside, good selection of veg and choice of 3 meats. Definitely on our list for a return visit. Booking advised as gets busy and heard at least 3 groups told no tables available while we were there.

Whilst working the weekend in a nearby town, my company had booked me into a hotel in Newtown, which was absolutely atrocious - dangerous in fact, meaning my partner and I couldn?t stay the night and had nowhere else to go. This is when the Unicorn became apparent to us - we had rang round local hotels and B&B?s at 7pm on the night we need a room for asking for available rooms. A local hotel had recommended the unicorn to us - a phone call to Kath was made explaining our situation. Kath was very friendly and explained to us that there were no rooms ready to be available, as the only empty room had been vacated only a few hours before - the professional cleaner wasn?t due until the next day. However, as Kath and Phil were aware of the hotel we had originally been booked into, they knew of our distress and offered to help us out by taking their time away from managing the busy Saturday night restaurant and cleaning and making up the spare room themselves, at gone 8pm. Kath also told us she had turned other people who were ringing late for a room away, but understood our desperate need for a room. We arrived at the unicorn to find the loveliest, cosiest village restaurant and hotel. After a long day of working what we needed was a nice relaxing place to be and the unicorn certainly did the job. We sat down in the restaurant for dinner which we hadn?t had yet and ordered the stack burger and lasagne. It was TO DIE FOR. Portion sizes were generous and the taste was out of this world. I particularly recommend anything with Phil?s homemade sauce on as it is one of the best tastes I?ve ever experienced. We were then guided to our room - by chance, the biggest room of the hotel. It was absolutely amazing. It truly felt like a home from home, with the decor giving this romantic, cosy feel to the place. The bathroom was immaculate and also on offer was a smart TV and a mini fridge with local produce milk and bottled water, complimentary. The room was very clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Despite having a stressful evening we actually had a very good sleep thanks to the comfort of the bed. To make the hotel even more homely and comfortable, across the way was a roof top terrace with water features and pretty lights, as well as outdoor furniture. Perfect for stargazing in the clear night sky. I can honestly say, truthfully, that the Unicorn Hotel is the nicest place I have ever stayed. Caersws as a village is lovely and is well worth a visit for a quiet break away. Kath, Phil, and the waitresses are very friendly and considerate. In a way, we were glad that our first hotel was so bad, as it led to our stay at the Unicorn Hotel. I highly recommend a stay here!

We went to the unicorn hotel for a family meal whilst camping. Booking was very easy with emails answered straight away. We had a dog with us which they were more than happy to accommodate in the bar area. Beer choice was limited but the service and food quality was good. Food served nice and fast and all staff very friendly. Price was standard for pub food, good selection of deserts.

What a disappointment! Although the staff were lovely and welcoming the food was a let down. Went with my husband, we both had the Stack Burger. Good sized portions but very greasy for our liking.

Stayed here on our river Severn walk. Kath and Phil are amazing, they own and run the place having modernised it and made it so popular you have to book well ahead for the restaurant. OH, and Kate still.pulls the odd shift as a district nurse. The rooms are great, this is a very old building with beams and uneven floors but they have created some lovely bedrooms.
