Palaces in Skipton

The Craven Arms is the most welcoming, amazing pub we've been lucky to visit in the UK. The stories about the owners and the pub are amazing. The regulars were super welcoming and happy to share a few pints and swap stories. The food is excellent and services is great! And then there are the shepherd huts, so cozy, I only wished I stayed longer. I'll certainly be back!

Generous breakfast, comfortable beds, easy parking as long as you know where to park, convenient location

Margaret and Paula have created a beautiful, welcoming and warm home away from home. I felt so special. When I arrived and there was a freshly baked butterfly cake in my room and the second day a slice of fresh chocolate cake. The views and the property are stunning. I would describe it as a home way from home, but it’s better

Perfect location for walking and relaxing. Found some beautiful waterfalls. Loved the old doors that led into our rooms. The full English breakfast was great.

Lovely stay in an even lovelier setting. Conveniently located in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. We arrived not knowing that this little village was used as the setting of the current “All Creatures Great and Small” television series but we can see why the producers selected the location. As for the B&B, the room had the most comfortable bed we had ever experienced, a modern bathroom, and two of the friendliest hosts you will ever meet. My wife always had their full Yorkshire...

We loved the historic feel to the property, and the staff were very attentive and friendly. As long as you understand this property is hundreds of years old, you will be in for a unique stay. Very quiet location, we loved it.

lovely sit down full English breakfast

The owner/manager is lovely and was most accommodating which is why I always try and stay here when I visit Skipton. The room was lovely and the full English breakfast delicious! It’s like visiting family! The location is superb too - an easy walk to the town center and several restaurants. Highfield House will be on the top of my list for my next visit!

Great Place!

Clean and practical room.

A gem in the Yorkshire Dales, good hiking opportunities right nearby and a great breakfast. Everyone was very nice

It’s important to note that there is actually no One to help on property. It’s a secured entrance with keypad and a 24 hour phone service to help if needed. We did not find that to be an issue. The rooms were clean and roomy, and amenities in room were very nice (iron, refrigerator, hair dryer). Location to the city square was absolutely perfect! Literally a 3 minutes walk. We will return to this hotel and definitely stay longer! 2 thumbs up!!

I was driving from Skye to Skipton for Yarn dale. I didn't arrive till 1 or 2am. The staff was very nice and helpful. I stayed for 2 nights and I was relaxed and comfortable. The food and services were outstanding.

I used this place as a base for exploring the Dales. Great staff: very welcoming and friendly on arrival, in the pub, and at breakfast (which was great). The building has a lot of historical character (creaky floors, wonky doors and low beams) but is well maintained and comfortable. Pub downstairs was also full of local characters and made for an entertaining evening.
