Lovely overnight stay
The room was very small but very nicely set out. The bed was very comfortable and everything you needed in the room for a lovely overnight stay. The breakfast was delicious, we didn’t eat an evening meal but the bar area is really nice. Nice touch in your room were 2 vouchers for 2 half pints of Timothy Taylor’s beer.

Lives up to expectations.
In the centre of town so in easy walking distance to shops and attractions. Parking behind the hotel is a little awkward but once you get in there is plenty of space. Breakfast was delicious and served quickly. Rooms have no view but quiet.

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.

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.

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)
