Large hotel dated but looks clean and tidy. Good for access into Skipton vi bus or canal footpath. Restaurant menu and heavy on fries so only ate there once breakfast staff wonderful all self service good quality food but not very hot. Now the room we had was clean again dated but the bathroom was a disgrace although it was clean the grout was dirty stained basin and chipped paint and wood on the bathroom door. However due to the location we would return

The food was really quite bad, both dinner and breakfast. We were amazed that such a place could get the food so wrong, it was very much like they didn't care what people thought. The servers were brilliant, very apologetic and agreed with us that the food wasn't nearly good enough. They knocked the cost of the starters off our bill but that was pointless as we had bought a deal that more or less covered the cost of food, so really we were left out of pocket. The bar prices were horrendous too, over £18 for a large glass of wine and pint of ale!

The evening meal was disappointing. My husband had to send the chicken dish back twice as overcooked and in the end he didn’t eat. The drinks were very expensive. We had a complimentary bottle of Prosecco and then a friend with us bought another bottle. It was £42. This wasn’t the one listed , it was the same as the complimentary one which would have been a cheaper one.we looked at it was £10 interior! A glass of wine was £12.50.the room was tired and the headboard all patchy. No one came to our room to see if we wanted anything until 4pm by thus time we had washed out the used tea cups ourselves. The price was good but very disappointing all in all.

Enjoyed our stay again, paid a little extra to the Skipton hotel to have a canal side room. Reception staff are very friendly & helpful. The rooms are rather dated but suits us as we like having the bath & shower facility. I believe the rooms are gradually being refurbished. We thought prices of the meal & drinks on the 1st night (even with the offer of 30% off food) were a lot more expensive than previous stays, also drinks from the bar were dearer than in Skipton.
We will stay again as like the location & on the whole the hotel.

Our room was on the 5th floor and only had a skylight so there was no view - it also had 3 steps down from bedroom to bathroom which was a challenge during the night! Apart from that it was clean and fairly roomy. Other area of the hotel were nice to sit in and we had a lovely view over the canal from our table in the restaurant. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Decor could do with an upgrade, toilet seat wouldn’t stay up (had to hold with my knee), tele really hard to operate…had to try really hard pressing buttons & quite a few ‘usual’ favourite free view channels like Quest etc missing..
Shower was ‘tight’. I’m 6ft & 13 stone so not over weight but it was a bit awkward. Also no shelf in there which was very inconvenient.
Worst thing for us was when we went to dinner (which was included in the deal-£30 each), on top of the meal, as extras we had a pint of black sheep beer,a small lemonade & a portion of chips.
For that (after the £60 was allowed for..) we had to pay £25.69.
We couldn’t figure out how a beer,lemonade & chips came to that amount.
Upon looking at the bill we realised we had been charged £7.79 service charge for the whole bill, including the £60 that was included in the deal.
We actually had £5 ready to give as a tip, but withdrew that.
People in restaurants work hard, but we should be able to decide if a tip/service charge is given. Not the hotel.
Had this before, & we’re getting really sick of it.
We didn’t say anything as didn’t want to ruin our holiday & wouldn’t have said anything if you hadn’t asked.
Would like to reiterate that the staff were were helpful.

The service for the evening meal. We booked our table for 7.45 pm. The waitress took our order. We ordered soup and garlic mushrooms. My wife ordered fish and chips as a main course; I asked for steak and ale pie but was told that they had run out of it, so I asked for tarragon chicken. My wife’s soup was cold (we sent it back), but the replacement soup was tolerably warm. My mushrooms were fine. We then waited and waited for our mains but it was obvious they had forgotten about them.
We complained and finally got them about 9pm. My chicken was like shoe leather so I sent it back and ordered fish and chips instead. The chips tasted bitter, so I ate what I could of the fish. We “ passed “ on the sweet - we were fed up. We were never offered anything in compensation for what was a bad end to a wedding anniversary night away. We certainly wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone.

A large,very busy hotel. We happened to arrive on a day when there were a number of large groups staying in the hotel. It was therefore impossible to book the meal.times we wanted
However our deal for one night with travel zoo was excellent in terms of value for money.
Other Comments
This is clearly a very popular hotel for group.events.
Very difficult to complain as we had such an excellent deal but individuals staying have to fit in re available meal times. Breakfast was hectic. Sheer volume of people in the dining meant staff were rushing round doing their best.....constantly refilling buffet food/ drinks. Big delay on serving coffee/ tea & toast.It is a very big hotel with lounge bar being a particularly pleasant space
