"Disappointing visit, avoid the roast beef!"

2.0

Inedible roast dinner. So disappointed. The beef was really chewy, I physically couldn’t eat it. It was a shame as we were really looking forward to a roast dinner after a lovely walk around d Skipton. We advised the lovely, polite waitress and nothing was done about it. Full price on the bill, with 10% service charge added. Will not return.

"Would happily stay again but on the back"

8.0

Room excelllent, bed confortable, food was superb. Just beware music from the bar transmits loudly to some rooms. Not cheap but a high quality venue, restaurant closer to fine dining than a pub.

Music takes away some tranquility

"Perfectly located within walking distance to the centre of Skipton. Hosts were amazing and the staff were exceptional."

10.0

It’s a very cozy place, perfect for a celebration. We couldn’t have been better looked after, nothing was too much trouble. Perfect.

There was nothing to dislike.

"Very poor and top price !!"

2.0

Location good . Breakfast just ok

No staff working on Tuesday when we arrived. No bar open . No restaurant open. Not told hotel closed Monday and Tuesday. Unable to gain access. Assumed I had paid for breakfast in the £154 price but was charged another £26 . I think £180 for the night when no facilities available is very very excessive and I am asking for at least £80 refund. I would expect to hear from you within one week .

1st time we went we really enjoyed, this time seemed very flat, we walked in and wasn’t greeted, when we sat down the windows were covered in dead flies, not from that day!

"Lunch in the sunshine"

10.0

We booked a table for lunch whilst on a day out in Skipton. The location is in a lovely setting. The sun was shining so we ate in the amazing outdoor area. The inside was also very nice, The decor is high end and you can tell a lot of effort has gone into the design. The food was also high quality I would recommend the wagyu burger! The wine and pudding selection is also very nice. The ladies that served us were very friendly and attentive. Defiantly worth a visit when in Skipton.

"Lovely hotel, great location and friendly staff"

8.0

Room 1 is spacious with comfy beds. Nice toiletries provided and a good shower. We had dinner in the restaurant which was very good and the staff were professional and friendly Lovely terrace to enjoy a drink in the sunshine

The bathroom is small and the bathroom door gets in the way when standing at the sink We couldn't get the TV to work Breakfast was an additional charge, so was coffee/ tea and no juice provided. Our fried eggs were hard and the sausages were overdone _ not value for money at £30 we felt
