Lovely hosts but noisy room above where beer was delivered very early in the morning! Couldn’t understand why we wern’t in a quieter room on the other side of the pub as there were empty rooms?
Very kind chef made us a packed breakfast thank you.

Everything about our stay was perfect. We had a cot ready when we arrived for our little one. The room was warm and spacious. We ate dinner the night before and the steaks were wonderful. The staff are all so friendly and can't do enough to help. We had a delicious breakfast before we left too!

This is still a nice place to stay, however it's starting to look a little bit tired. The carpets could do with a really good clean and the window in our bedroom didn't shut properly which would have been okay in summer but it was very cold.
Breakfast was very good and the bar is comfortable.

Clean, spacious and nicely decorated room. The Railway is excellent if you are using public transport as it is 10 minutes from the train station and 5 minutes to the bus station and town. The breakfast was very good and freshly cooked to order

Check in was quick & very professional.
The carpet leading to the rooms and in the rooms is very tired and dirty.
The room was a really good size with a beautiful clean bed. Bathroom is also a good size.
Breakfast was cooked to order. Yoghurt & fruit would be a good choice too.

Having stayed here several times, we knew what to expect and were not disappointed The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The breakfast option was good and was included in the price, which is not always the case. Having travelled to Skipton via public transport, the Railway is convenient for all modes of transport, so parking for us was not an issue. Highly recommended.

The positives include cleanliness, a comfortable bed, good shower and hot water, location, storage of luggage when we arrived early.
About our arrival...the phone number outside the building is useful as it doesn't open until 12.00 (pub hours, we were told), and of course, check-in was not until 2.00. However, it is fairly usual for places to have information about leaving luggage if no one is going to be there. We were grateful that Julie was and took care of this for us. Eventual check in was slow because the staff were attending to the bar as well, and we had to wait for this. We were helped with the luggage up a fairly narrow and steep staircase.
The room met all our requirements, apart from no desk for using a laptop. However, there were two comfortable chairs, a bonus.
Tea, coffee and biscuits were available. Breakfast was served in a pleasant room, and the cooked breakfast was generous. Some items were missing from the yoghurt/cereal offerings, with little fruit on the first day, and no fruit or yoghurt on the second.
Housekeeping was a bit limited on the second day (bed not remade, no fresh towels).
So, lovely staff, good room with comfortable bed, and great location. But I was disappointed after seeing the excellent reviews posted earlier on the site.

Really good location, room was a good size and clean, breakfast was lovely and they accommodated gluten and dairy free intolerances. Parking free on the street outside and enjoyed being so close to the canal for walks, which were lovely.

A very friendly B&B located close to the centre of town. Convenient for all Skipton attractions and the bus and train stations.
Excellent breakfast included within rate.

Room was nice. Service was good. Breakfast was excellent. Disappointed that there was no dedicated parking. But managed to find spot on side street.

Marvelously run pub/hotel. It just get any better than this. I look forward to staying with Carol and the team again - hopefully on another quiz night so I can meet my new friends.
