A nice place to stay. Breakfast was great with plenty to choose from for all tastes. On the second morning the staff were a bit slow asking us if we wanted tea, coffee or toast and as a result our cooked food was half eaten before it arrived. Apart from that, a pleasant stay.

Was in a room with queen sized bed, and an excellent view of the canal. I have a back problem which didn't pose a problem as there was a lift to all floors. The only down size was the bath with shower, i struggled to get in due to my back problem.

Misleading Photos provided by hotels.com
This was advertised as a 4 star hotel, the photos on Hotels.com were completely in accurate. The room was old, hand marks on the walls, bathroom unclean and water staining on the ceiling. The gentleman at reception advised us that this happens often with Expedia guests being unhappy as the rooms do not meet expectations and are not reflective of the pictures provided. He was very helpful by moving us to a slightly better room (no handprints on the walls) but still well below a 4 star standard.

Comfy beds & pool, perfect base for Skioton
Booked standard 2 single beds. Didn’t want to end up with normal double bed. Small room but adequate, very comfy beds, clean, carpets and bathroom refurbished. Hotel slightly dated but not tatty, perfectly fine as a base for exploring lovely Skipton. Great to have use of pool included.

We didn’t actually stay, we checked in after a long wait at the desk, but when we saw the room we checked straight back out again. The room was disgusting, carpet all stained and dirty, terrible smell of stale fat from the restaurant, only a hand held shower, no wall bracket, and a view of a skip out of the window. We did take pictures before leaving to find an alternative hotel.
