Myself and partner, son and family, just returned from a fantastic week end at the Unicorn, what a wonderful site.
We were greeted by the Landlord, warm, friendly, and it seems a permanent smile. The pub itself was a treasure, good ale, and excellent food. Had a Sunday roast 'HUGE!' all home cooked, fantastic.
The site does have many permanent units, but the people were very friendly and helpful.
I only have a couple of criticisms, and they by no means spoilt a wonderful stay.
The Shower/toilet block was very cold, with no heating, and lights were on timer, so shower in the dark, showers were just warm with no adjustment.
Waste disposal was permanently locked.
Please check prices on booking, as I think the web site is out of date.
Regardless, we will be returning to this wonderful site, and would like to thank the owners for making us very welcome.
We spent one night here and have mixed feelings about it.
The site is located in a beautiful setting alongside the river Severn. We arrived at 11:30 and were greeted warmly in the pub and issued with a fob to activate the barrier to the site, paying a £10 deposit.
we had very little choice of pitch as the site was quite crowded, there was a large group of people there who were having a cowboy night and wouldn't allow us to pitch anywhere near them.
However we pitched in an adequate little corner and went off for a six mile walk along the river into Bridgnorth. On our return I decided to forego having a shower as the shower block looked like it had seen better days. There were three showers which looked in need of a good clean. Only two of the three toilets had doors! Toilet paper supply was very low.
The walls and floors were in bad state of repair.
We had booked an evening meal at the pub and on arrival for this we were told that they had no reservation for us - this by the girl who had taken the booking from us earlier in the day!
However we were allowed to eat there as long as we ordered and paid for our meal there and then. We waited about forty minutes for a very nice meal indeed! Rump steak, masses of chips, salad and onion rings, all cooked to perfection for £7.95.
All were very friendly in the pub and a very nice evening followed in a lively crowded pub.
Breakfast in the pub next morning was nice, an ample full english with tea and toast was £4. 95.
If you don't mind the grubby toilet facilities and like a drink and a chat in friendly environment then this is for you.
Stayed here for 3 nights at the end of july. I think that there have been some unfair comments left about this site in the past. Had no trouble arriving at 11am although it took about 20 mins to get the barrier tag to work. Had no trouble leaving at 9. 30 on day of departure as there was always someone in the pub due to them doing B & B.
The site was very busy with tents so there was some noise but not intrusive. Caravan pitches are a good size and separated by low hedges, a lot are used as season pitches.
The toilet block though basic was adequate, it did get a bit grubby but understandable with the number of campers, they were cleaned daily and there always seemed to be toilet paper available (although it is always best to go prepared with your own).
The location is stunning, between the river and steam railway, only 5 minutes walk to Hampton Loade station (my main reason for choosing this site).
Did not eat at the pub so cannot comment on food, drinks prices were average pub prices. Go to this site with an open mind and enjoy what the area has to offer.
The site was very popular with people fishing, day tickets are available. Be aware that the approach road is very narrow with limited passing places, especially the last 200 yards, I had no trouble with a caravan in tow.
Charged £20 per night which is quite expensive for a standard site
Showers were always cold
Toilets where not cleaned regular
There are no waste bins around the site
Rubbish left by all weekend campers was not collected till Tuesday, by which time birds had ripped open some bags
Beer prices very high. Carling £3.20 a pint. Seem to get different prices on rounds of drinks. Service can be very slow even when nobody at the bar. Food very good but service again very slow . Waited 40 minutes for meal
Elsan point not clearly shown, required a key from the bar which is not open till 12. Also you can not leave site till 12. As you need to hand in a fob for the gate or loose your deposit
The Unicorn is an old fashioned pub next to the River Severn and the Severn Valley railway. They still practice old fashioned values and very much demonstrate a live-and-let-live attitude.
The comments posted seem to come from folk who like a set of rules, but the whole ethos of the pub and the camp site is about freedom! Sure, you will find, in all walks of life, wherever you go, some people who have disregard for others but I can certainly say, from experience, the management and the staff are very friendly and are always ready to help. It was refreshing for me to find that access to the pub has wheelchair ramps - they exclude no-one!
Yes, there are dog lovers there too and maybe the odd dog poop escapes the owners eye, yes, there are children who play and experience country life, yes there are parents who let their hair down and enjoy the ambiance and yes, the toilets could do with the assistance of those that use them - clean up after yourself!
All of the delicious food at the pub is cooked fresh to order and they use local produce. Nothing is too much trouble. In this society where complaining is becoming more and more widespread, why not practice the old fashioned values?
If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.
Your experience does not represent my experience.
I shall look forward to another year at the Unicorn with nice friendly people, good food and the beauty of the place.
Only the brave will make it down to this site! Beware that the road down to the site is very narrow and although cars can pass at various intervals, I doubt cars towing caravans would!
The pitches are nice and secluded, each one surrounded by 5ft leylandii. Electric hook up and water available within a few feet. Getting onto the pitch we were allocated to however was not a pretty sight as residents parking was not friendly.
The owners were friendly but seemed to have rules and processes that they didn't understand themselves. From the key needed to the electric hook up point to the car barrier on entry to the site. There seem to be many tourers that are permanently sited so being the newcomer was not greatly comfortable.
It was clear we couldn't get on to the site until 12 noon and could stay til 12 noon on the day of departure, however it wasn't clear that we had to stay until 12noon as there was no one available to refund the barrier pass deposit.
The mens toilet / shower block had recently been refurbished and was very nice. Ladies block was still awaiting refurbishment, therefore not the most pleasant experience.
We had planned to eat at the pub on site but changed our minds. It didn't have the clean feeling we would expect from somewhere serving food.
Having said all this, overall we had a pleasant stay. Weather was very kind to us, and just a short drive to Bridgnorth Town.
We booked this site for a quick weekend get away although we tried a few sites before this one but either full or did not answer phone, so booked into the Unicorn.
The booking in was straight forward at the pub you need to pay a £10 deposit for the barrier key and I was a bit shocked with the £20 per night fee but thought it must be a 5*. Drove onto the site which at first glance looked very tired, the pitches are nice and flat and fenced off so quite private which was the only plus I'm afraid.
The site has quite a few statics and the residents tend to park in the narrow road around the pitches which does make it difficult to reverse your unit.
We got all set up and found the water tap, 1 tap to 2 pitches but the seasoned pitch caravan on the next pitch has a connection plugged into the tap, so every time you need water we had to take their connection off.
We had a look round the site and visited the shower block, how anyone can use them I don't know. There was no toilet paper and the walls have been used instead of, there was no soap to wash after using the toilets.
We also think the site has very little rules about noise as from 5pm to about 7pm grown men and children thought it great to ride around the site on loud motorbikes.
They also do not bother about the drinking and noise at 2 to 3am.
If you need to empty your toilet you have to ask for a key in the bar and again when you do get the key the elsan is not the cleanest places bit like the rest of the block.
If it was not for the steam railway I think we would have packed up early and gone home.
At £20 per night it was not a good experience.
We shall certainly remember this site for all the wrong reasons.
This could be a superb site - the setting is outstanding, right by the river with an old foot ferry nearby, walks, fishing, etc.
On arrival the site had rubbish strewn everywhere, bags, bottles, tins, and less savoury waste too. Although it was only about 11:00am fellow campers had already fired up their stereos and opened their beer. We struggled to find a pitch that was anywhere near clear and on heading to the toilet blocks, quickly left them again.
They were the worst I have come across in 30 years of camping, I'm sure I don't need to go into detail when I say I wouldn't let our family use them. There was no hot water and I can't say how the showers were, as I would not go in them.
If the site was just tidied up and the toilets had been cleaned it would have been bearable. At the rear of the site are a band of static homes, some of which looked very nice but some looked as if they needed demolishing.
On the positive side, the guy who booked us in was friendly and the pub seemed to be clean and tidy. But that's about it.
We got off the site as soon as we could find another which is a real shame because the site could be just superb and a real gem in the Shropshire guide books.
Me my husband and our 3 children were meeting up with family, this was our first time at this site. As you pull into site there is a little park on the right which is great for kids. Stunning views of the river Severn. Brilliant atmosphere on the site, not expensive at all, cost us £36 for two nights. Staff very friendly. I admit toilets could be refurbed because the rest of the site is stunning. There's a little foot ferry for you to cross the river and you get the Severn valley train passing by which the kids absolutely loved. Will deffo be going back again, brill experience, kids happy and so were we
