Lovely hotel

Hotel is a good location in the high street, secure parking at the rear. Our room faced the Main Street which was nicely decorated. It's a very busy pub/hotel sometimes difficult to find a seat. Breakfast on the first day was excellent we both had full English but second day my partner had only ordered scrambled eggs & mushrooms they looked like cheese and strange consistency so never ate them! Liked the idea of small flasks of milk for the room which you could ask at the bar to be refilled kept milk cool!

Room was very small and a very small shower. However it was very quiet even with the window constantly open because of the heat outside. The bed was very comfy, and the flask of fresh milk for the coffee was a very nice change from the small cartons as you get in most places. The staff were all very friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was very good and with a wide choice. However I did notice that some of the yoghurts were actually 3 or 4 days past their use by date. I am sure that this was just an oversight as everything else was very good service and quality. There was a nice restaurant and bar with several real ales from the local brewery on every evening

Little gem in Skipton

From the moment of arrival in the secure car parking area to the outdoor seating, through to the dining room and busy bar it was all great. All very clean and bright and welcoming. As were the staff, a great little find. Its a bit like the 'Tardis' inside. (Dr Who)

Oh what a lovely place to stay!!!! One of my best stays. It is a cozy Inn in a beautiful town. The inn has all you would like, very clean and pretty rooms, very clean and up to date bathrooms, and excellent breakfast. The staff is super nice and helpful. I was traveling with my sister, It was our first time in UK and we had the best English Countryside experience.

Laura

The end is a very old building in the center of town. We had no idea that it would be so busy around the Inn. Our room was so hot, and the window couldn’t open very far due to it hitting a downspout pipe. We had two fans running all night and it was a difficult sleep. Also, the bed was very uncomfortable, and the pillows were hard and flat. The breakfast Was good

Great stay to attend a nearby wedding.

A beautiful room, which was exceptionally clean. Breakfast choice was great and their black pudding really is the best ewe will ever have! Fortunate to be able to get a table for friends staying nearby to join us for a fantastic meal! Would definitely stay again.
