A very nice hotel, excellent staff, we enjoyed the evening dinner but the only disappointment was the charge for breakfast @ £10.00 per person especially when we would normally just have a continental style breakfast.

Fireworks

Pros: The view
Cons: Updated
Location: Skipton lovely town and loads to see and do. Walking the towpath is lovely on a warm summers night.
Spent a nice night here during a trip,to,Skipton, l agree with many previous reviews that it is tired in places, however it is clean; the staff were lovely and foot was good. We were shattered after a long day and just a we were falling asleep that days wedding decided to set off fireworks. Thankfully they did not last long but our room was close to the balcony everyone was watching from, maybe in future the hotel should think about the residents that are not attending the wedding and put them in the rooms that further away from the restaurant and balcony. Got to say the view from the room over the canal is lovely and the windows opened nice and wide so that you could really enjoy the view. Thank you to the staff for a good stay, we will be back 😀

Lovely hotel close to all local facilities

Beautiful hotel. Staff considerate and courteous. Nice big room, very clean and serviced daily. Only observation is about breakfast, which we only had once because it was £10 per head. Frankly, I think that a little expensive and had we had it every morning would have added a further £80 to the bill. Otherwise no complaints and would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family
