We stayed for one night and it was perfect for our needs. Lovely choice at breakfast and it was nice to watch the boats go by on the canal on a sunny Sunday morning.

Great hotel staff - it made our stay!

Staff were great and so helpful. We arrived in the early hours but the staff had checked us in and the night porter was there to meet us. Superb service and greatly appreciated. While the hotel is a little dated it was clean and the breakfast was excellent.

Yorkshire Break

We had wonderful break after not going anywhere at all for 10 months. Hotel lovely and so accommodating. Asked for room near lift and they placed us so well close to lift and restaurant as I have mobility issues at the moment. Would highly recommend as wonderful views of scenery.

8/10 Very good

A great stay with friends over the festive season. Rooms are abit tired but overall was fine for our 1 night stay.
Kathy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointing, given previous experience.

Good location and good-size rooms. Breakfast very good. Stayed here several times before. This time the room with a canal-side view had one small window, with a faulty blind. The room had emergency lighting with an excessively bright green light which made a good night's sleep impossible.
Michael, 1-night trip

I am a regular visitor and the staff are always very helpful and friendly.

Dated

Dated hotel. Great gym. Long wait for food but the steak was amazing. Broken toilet and shower.
2-night trip

6/10 Good

Ideal location for Skipton, or walking the town path. Public spaces are lovely, our room was a bit tired though. Noisy in the early hours...not sure what. It sounded like fans going on and off. Ate at the bar one night which was ok. Breakfast was lovely, eating with a canal view.
