Why We Love This Hotel
- The property is in Skipton, a charming town near the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The Dales are known for their attractive villages full of stone cottages and cosy pubs. They also have many walking routes through river valleys and over wild moorland.
- The hotel's conservatory restaurant overlooks the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. You can watch narrowboats glide gently by while dining.
- Facilities at the hotel include a gym, an indoor pool, and a whirlpool spa.
- The 900-year-old Skipton Castle is five minutes' drive away in the centre of town. It's one of the best-preserved Medieval castles in England. The beautiful ruins of Bolton Abbey are 15 minutes' drive away.
- You can explore the scenic Settle-Carlisle line. With this offer, there is an option to add a return ticket to the line, which passes over the famed Ribblehead Viaduct. Select two or three nights when booking and look for the rate including railway tickets.
- The Brontë Parsonage Museum is a 25-minute drive from the hotel in Haworth. The sisters lived there most of their lives while penning their famous literary works.

Other Comments
The hotel was extremely dated and very much in need of modernisation throughout, including the pool areas. One of the lifts was out of order during our stay and we had no water in our room at one point, along with other rooms who were reporting the same issue, although this was rectified the same day. Our room was in the roof at the front of the hotel with a velux window, but the noise from the busy road at the front was very load when the window was open and could still be heard when it was closed.

This was our first visit to The Skipton Hotel.From the initial meeting with reception staff and throughout our dealings with all the staff,we were most impressed with their friendly and helpful dispositions despite being exceptionally busy and having to work in very warm conditions.The accommodation allocated was clean and tidy offering lovely views over the canal witch generated such a wealth of interest from all the boat traffic and the people crewing such a wide variety of activity and interest.
We stayed for two days having all our meals in house.The menus were varied and the quality of food good.In particular, I would like to congratulate the chef on the Caesar Salad that was prepared for me.
Our stay coincided with the England/Norway match.I was so impressed with all the staff who coped so well with the significant increases and demands of residents necessitating staff multitasking.
Overall,an enjoyable stay and will be arranging a return visit.

Room clean and spacious albeit a bit dated. Fluffy white towels changed as required. Staff were friendly and worked really hard and although food was good we waited an hour for our evening meal to arrive.

Every thing was fine.The restaurant staff were friendly and efficient;the food was good . Our room was shabby with a tatty carpet and headboard. On arriving,we were "greeted" by a very grumpy and offhand lady ,(dyed dark hair and glasses).We have never been treated with so much disdain at other hotels. On the other hand....the breakfast lady was very friendly,helpful...cheerful and professional.I am sure her job is far more stressful than being a receptionist!.The best bit was the canal view from the dining room.

One meal in the restaurant was a great disappointment! My steak was a very poor piece of meat with a lot of gristley strands and connective tissue. As I was paying I expressed my dissatisfaction and £5 was deducted. A full refund would have been more appropriate but my wife does not like creating a scene. My entire night was tainted by this episode.
The first night that we stayed in The Skipton Hotel, we found the duvets to be too thick and heavy for our liking. A quick word with a member of housekeeping had the problem sorted very quickly.

good parking. nice view from back of hotel over canal. busy road and industrial units to the front. Walk along canal into town about 25 mins and pleasant in day and good weather. Ladies on front desk very friendly and helpful, Sharon was a star (saw her most) . bar area and restaurant newly refurbished and attractive. Rooms a bit tired. we had very spacious room on front of hotel. could have been cleaner but ok. no extras. corporate. provided decent base for our few days in skipton area. we ate in restaurant one night. staff great. food disappointing. My husbands chicken was tough and too salty. The meal I chose was unavailable. I am vegetarian and have certain dietary requirements that meant nothing else was suitable. I had chosen to eat here for the meal that was unavailable. So for me very disappointing. I ended up with mainly a side of veg and picking at a meal not best suited to me. Didnt use pool etc.
we had nice break and did not complain while there as not bad enough for that but would choose somewhere else next time we were in the area.

The hotel was built in 1990 and parts are looking tired. Apparently the refurbishment is ongoing.
The hotel was quick to resolve an issue we raised in our room. Staff were very friendly, food was OK.
Bus stop directly outside the hotel takes you in to Skipton centre however the tow path walk in to Skipton is worth doing.

We weren’t told in advance that restaurant was closed and moved to bar area so as this was a special occasion we ate out instead. Very disappointed overall.

My husbands main course (chefs shepherd pie) £17.95) was really small, just big enough for an entree!! My chicken burger was excellent.
We’ve stayed on the 3rd floor before with canal view but this time we were on the 2nd floor looking over bins etc before the canal. We had to close the curtains as passers by could see right in.

Lovely hotel, within walking distance of Skipton centre , approx 20/30 mins, via the canal tow path or the 66 bus passes the door of the hotel. Friendly staff and the food is very good. Breakfast on this occasion was under hot plates , as the main dining room was under refurbishment, it's always been freshly cooked on our previous visits and hopefully will be again.
The pool and spa are a great bonus!

Overall was a good experience and value for money. I enjoyed my evening meal.
Was disappointed not to have been informed when I phoned to book our meal that the restaurant was closing the day we visited for a refurbishment, and found the attitude of the maitre d' very condescending when I asked why we weren't told.
They had also run out of both real ales they advertised and their local lager
However rest of the staff were friendly and helpful and I would stay again.

The leisure centre had only one padlock for the lockers and only one towel available although there were 2 of us.
We booked our evening meal for 7.30pm but it took 50 minutes for us to be brought our starter. The young ladies in the restaurant were very polite and friendly but the wait for food was too long. The drinks prices were extortionate, almost £8 for a pint and almost £4 for a tonic water.
At breakfast some of the hot food had run out. People had to ask staff to refill these which meant the food already on their plates was going cold.
We stayed here 2 years ago and we were disappointed this time.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The restaurant, there were always 3 people serving but they had to book people in, take money from those leaving who needed to pay, take orders, serve food and clear tables. They all worked hard but customer service was poor. I looked at the online menu before I went down and chose a starter, main and dessert, only to find the menu had changed. My second choice of main, vegetarian burger had gone, despite beef and chicken ones being available. The main I had was good but the soup was poor. I did not stay for dessert. The couple on the next table said, very wise, we have been waiting 10 mins for the dessert menu. Breakfast had lots of choice, but I ordered a veggie sausage and my husband a poached egg, both arrived on the same plate; as the waitress was also dealing with 2 other tables I got myself a plate. There was a wide range of choices and while these were ok, they weren't marvellous e.g poached egg over cooked and cold toast. Despite me telling two members of staff about the menu online, it has still not been changed! One member of staff enquired what had I wanted, when I told her she said, we haven't had that menu for weeks!

A lovely hotel right on the canal just 30 min walk into town. We received a lovely welcome at reception and that continued throughout our visit. We had a fantastic evening meal on our first night and the breakfast was fantastic. I would highly recommend this hotel.

We didn’t use the leisure facility but the pool looked nice and there was a well equipped gym. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel if you can’t manage the 30 min canal walk into town. There is a town was lovely with some great pubs and canal trips. We visited the castle which took about an hour to get round and we also walked to the nearby steam train attraction at Emmsay.

The hotel is in a lovely spot next to the canal, a 20-30 minute walk along the towpath takes you to the centre of town.
The breakfast was lovely hot, plentyful and well cooked.
We had dinner on our first evening as part of the deal, the choices were good and the food lovely.
Its a shame that the bar was fairly empty in the evening probably due to the expensive drinks prices.

Excellent location on the canal. Right by the 66 bus stop which was handy for exploring the area. Food OK, but I was disappointed that we were charged for coffee, despite only having eaten £48 worth of our £60 food allowance. The hotel was nowhere near 50% occupancy, and it would have been nice to have been offered a quiet room overlooking the canal, rather than the busy road. Having said that, it was a lovely spacious room with comfy beds.

All of the advertising promoted the hotel for overlooking the Leeds/ Liverpool canal. Our room on the fourth floor was right above the main road into and out of Skipton. It was very busy road all evening and night. We also overlooked an industrial estate. The evening meal was very poor. I ordered a sirloin steak that was inedible. I complained to the staff in the restaurant and at the reception desk but was just told sorry. ( I have a photograph of the uneaten steak).

It was good to park easily at the hotel which was free.
Breakfast was brilliant, the evening meal was good but the braising steak was a small helping.

Overall we had a good time. Many aspects of the hotel were good, in particular the location, car parking, dining and bar. However, its housekeeping was not good. In particular:
1 we arrived at 4:15pm [check in being from 4pm ] but no room was available for almost 2 hours because the housekeeping had not been done despite check out being at 10 am. We were by no means the only people to experience this.
2 our room was not serviced on the second day of our 2 day stay until 6:50 pm when we were showering and getting changed for dinner and so we told the member of staff not to bother. The room should have been serviced much earlier in the day while we were out.

General Manager, James, was very rude. We were early so initially didn't mind waiting. At 3.30pm could see other quests checking in. When I went back to reception was told rooms on 3rd and 4th floors were still being cleaned. At 3.55 went back to reception, this was my first contact with the General Manager, he said he was short staffed (not my problem) and check in wasn't until 4. He called me back to reception at 4.15 and James, a young receptionist, began my check in, I heard the General Manager telling him to change the room to 325. My partner and I got the lift to the 3rd floor but couldn't find the room until we say I sigh saying it was on the 2nd floor. So back in the lift and down a floor, once again after walking the corridors we came across 2 flights of stairs that led to room 325. On entering the room we both looked at each other and said what! The room was very small, the windows were quite small and high up, meaning the canal view wasn't apparent to me. The plastic on the headboard was peeling away, very unsightly. I phoned reception and the General Manager said he would meet us by the lift, so back down all the stairs with all our luggage. When in the lift to the 4th floor I told the manager I was totally disgusted to be allocated this room to which he said "well I didn't check you in and you're not in it now"!!! We then entered room 406 which is the type of room we have had before, except for one stay when we had a superior canal side room, the time now was 4.45, an hour behind all the quests checked into rooms on the 1st and 2nd floor, so much for paying extra to upgrade. As we both have emphysema we were both totally exhausted by this time. Whilst sitting getting our breathing back on track a couple entered the room with the key to room 406! I think the General Managers manner was absolutely appalling and having spoken to a few of the other quests his managerial skills are very questionable.

We booked our Travelzoo deal on 15th March to stay 1 night on 18th June.
We also rang the Skipton Hotel on 15th March and booked dinner in the restaurant for 6.30pm, confirmed a twin room with a canal view (£10 extra to pay at reception on arrival) and requested 2 comfy chairs in our room explaining that I am disabled & my husband suffers arthritis in his back & knees. James on reception (not the manager James) said he had made notes on our booking & it was all sorted.
We’ve stayed at the Skipton Hotel before, last time less than a year ago, everything was fine & we has a lovely time.
4 days before our date of arrival we contacted hotel reception again to confirm our requests:
Dinner booked for 6.30pm in the restaurant, Twin room with Canal view, & 2 comfy chairs in our room.
We spoke to the same James on reception who had the made the notes on our booking made 15th March.
Disappointingly the earliest we could dine was 7.30pm, due to a recent group booking which was for 6.30pm.
Also the canal view couldn’t be guaranteed and there would be 1 desk chair in our room.
We reminded James of the notes he said he had made on our booking.
His solution was to suggest that we dine in the bar “which would be empty by then” …we declined that offer & finally he agreed to sort it out in our favour & send us confirmation.
The day prior to our setting off no confirmation had arrived.
We contacted reception again, this time speaking to Kyra who checked the dinner booking which was still for 7.30. I explained… she apologised & confirmed our requests … she also had no problem amending our dinner booking to 6 pm which was fine with us.
We feel that the lack of communication leading to this inconveniencing is very disappointing & not good policy. It lets down the reputation of a hotel which has so much to offer and deserves to keep its highly recommended status.
However all of the points made below are directed to & for the benefit & attention of the general management of the whole group of hotels.
If they aren’t made aware they can’t fix it.
We feel that someone should ‘have a word’ with the cleaner. We discovered one of the pillows was spilling out it’s contents & was lacking a pillow case.
The glass topped desk hadn’t been cleaned (it was sticky with cup/glass rings stains) also the kettle was 1/2 full of water which is an absolute no no.
The toilet wasn’t properly cleaned & there was fluff & hair in every corner of the bathroom floor.

I am a pensioner and was in room 227. The bathroom was a health and safety hazard. Not even a non-slip mat for the bath/shower. The heat was unbearable and there was no aircon just a noisy fan. When I did get to sleep (after 3.00) I was woken at 6 am by a delivery van under my window with a loud radio and beep on the horn. Breakfast was very good but my evening meal left a lot to be desired. The main course of fishcake was mostly potato with very little fish and the rest of the plate was an enormous portion of fries and salad leaves.

Good value package incl dinner subsidy on first night and breakfast for both mornings. Room small and bathroom much too small. Service generally OK receptionist lady was great. One waitress pulled her face having to go back to the kitchen for cream and then brought cream which was sour, claiming this was the last of the cream. Another, much friendly waitress brought fresh cream and changed the coffee...

Check-in too late at 4pm and check-out too early at 10am. Breakfast is served until 10am...
