4/10 Fair

Overpriced

Massively overpriced for the quality. It was like I’d travelled back to the 1970’s
Mark, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Skipton Hotel is recommended

The location on the canal and picturesque countryside made a beautiful setting for dining in the conservatory. The food was consistently very good, the staff friendly and I enjoyed using the pool.

Brilliant stay. The hotel is a fab location , 1 mile canal walk to centre. Clean & tidy with nice bathroom and a comfy bed. Thanks for supplying a fan too !
Mark, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

ok but very tired.

ok hotel, location good , however our room was on the groundfloor with views of the car park - people walking past could see into our room and we were unable to leave the patio doors open . I wonder wehther this was because we used our tesco vouchers to pay for the room. The room was old fashioned and basic, the bathroom was mismatched , the floor worn and grubby , the room had a damp smell . The whole place was "tired " Breakfast was good , some of the staff were slightly brusk. .

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Carol, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly but the hotel is very dated. I am sure in the 1970's it would have been amazing and the price of the room is over inflated for the quality of the accomodation.
Davina, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice stay

Staff and facilities really good in a very nice location. Hotel a bit dated.
Joe, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff are fab but hotel looking dated in all areas. Things such as hot tub with no bubbles etc. Prices of drinks in the bar are ridiculous even by hotel standards, over £7.50 for a lager.
Steve, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Disappointing

Parking was a nightmare. Parking slots very narrow, not enough parking. Could not get a table in the restaurant untill 2000hrs eventhough the restaurant was half empty! Reason there was a party of 15 booked. No.mention of this when.were booked in or the question are yoy i tending to eat with us this evening...... 2000hrs way too late for us to eat
Wendell, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We have stayed at this hotel several times, its close to family who live close by and close to Skipton town center. Hotel staff are always friendly and courteous
Don, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
James, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The bar staff were superb. Property tired

Just read the other reviews. I arrived late and really felt like i was a chore to the receptionist. Then she wanted a credit card which is normal to cover drinks etc, but I asked why and she replied ‘for damage’! No explanation.

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.
