Excellent as always

Stayed a few times, always excellent. Rooms, food, beer, staff, can’t fault anything. Not cheap, but worth it. Evening meal was excellent, restaurant quality as opposed to pub grub.

Old pub in the centre of Skipton.

Right in the centre of town, a lively spot although our room was quiet. Renovated many times over the years so stairs go up and then down before arriving at the room. The dinner and breakfast were both excellent. Our room was fairly compact but fine for a night.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was very small and a very small shower. However it was very quiet even with the window constantly open because of the heat outside. The bed was very comfy, and the flask of fresh milk for the coffee was a very nice change from the small cartons as you get in most places. The staff were all very friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was very good and with a wide choice. However I did notice that some of the yoghurts were actually 3 or 4 days past their use by date. I am sure that this was just an oversight as everything else was very good service and quality. There was a nice restaurant and bar with several real ales from the local brewery on every evening

Birthday visit

A one night birthday trip. Staff are welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. Room comfortable if a little small. Room was very warm but solved by turning off the heat and opening the window. My only recommendation would be for the waiting staff to bring out the required knives for meals. Had soup and a roll with whipped butter but no knife to spread butter, also had steak again no steak knife. Both had to be requested. Small details like this are unimportant but would make things more amazing.

Room was excellent for the money, staff were very friendly and facilities were great. Only issue with room being on second floor, and being a warm day, was that it was far too warm during the night to sleep. The fan provided was not adequate enough for how hot it was, which is rare weather in Britain understandably, but it was the only issue with sleeping during our stay. We would definitely return again, probably in the Winter time!
