About Our Hotel

Your peaceful Mid-Wales escape — warm rooms, relaxed spaces, and a truly welcoming atmosphere.

Nestled in the heart of Llanidloes, The Unicorn Hotel is a 17th-century landmark with a legacy stretching back to the 13th century, when it first served as a coaching inn for travellers crossing the Cambrian Mountains.

Today, the Unicorn lives on as more than just a hotel — it’s a community hub and gallery café by day, smokehouse, bar and grill by night.

Whether you’re here for a peaceful stay, a hearty Sunday roast, or to explore the local art and countryside, you’ll find a warm welcome, great food, and a story that spans eight centuries.

At our Smokehouse & Grill, we're always pushing the boundaries of flavour. Our menu is constantly evolving as we experiment with new ingredients, bold techniques, and exciting flavour combinations. All whilst staying true to the art of authentic smoking and grilling from our African roots.
From innovative specials to reimagined classics, every dish is crafted with creativity, passion, and a commitment to delivering unforgettable dining experiences. We believe great food never stands still, which is why we're forever exploring, refining, and creating new favourites for our guests to enjoy.

By day, our Lounge & Gallery Café offers artisan coffee, homemade cakes, and light lunches served in a cosy, welcoming atmosphere surrounded by rotating Welsh artwork. As evening settles in, the space becomes a relaxed bar, the perfect spot to unwind with local ales, fine wines, and good company.
