The Skipton Hotel

The Skipton Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We arrived quite early and although the check in was 4pm our room was ready so we were able to get in very early and quickly. The staff were all helpful and friendly throughout. The large room was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The bar and restaurant had seating areas overlooking the canal and another with a terrace at the front. We were only there for one night but would be very happy to go again if we visit Skipton. The location was good and also only a few minutes drive from the town centre."
