Location perfect for our group get together - 30 mins stroll into Skipton. Breakfast good however staff need more training in replenishment of items Dinner OK - very expensive for what it was as were drinks. Service not great as order taken incorrectly meaning one of our group got his meal later than the rest - they didn't charge him for it. Reception staff very good & helpful

We stayed as a family as we were attending a funeral in skipton. Hotel conveniently located overlooking the canal. Hotel was undergoing some renovations work but it didn’t spoil our stay - breakfast relocated to first floor but was good selection and nice and hot. Staff really helpful And freindly - would love to go back when we have more time.
