"Lovely upgraded room and paid extra for a room with a view over the canal. Deal with travel zoo was excellent and included an evening meal, which was excellent and good portion sizes."

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.

A really good place to spend a couple of days.

The stairways and bedroom carpets need a good clean. Otherwise the room was serviced well.

Our experience at the Skipton Hotel was a positive one. From the lovely calm (in spite of a queue of guests) and welcoming receptionist, through all the staff who engaged with us during our visit. Special mention must go to the chef and all the restaurant team on the Saturday evening, who, in spite of the large party in the Malham Suite, delivered excellent dishes and service for my husbands 70th birthday dinner, in the very nicely renovated Canalside restaurant. We were fortunate to be allocated a canalside view room, which was an added bonus.

Other Comments

Only criticism is that our room was a little dated and tired-looking. Although I hasten to say that it was nice and clean. I understand that the bedrooms are being renovated at the moment, so I hope that if/when we return, we will notice improvements.

The location of the hotel is within 5 minutes drive to the centre of Skipton.

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.

We had a lovely 2 day break away. Booked a canal view room. Rooms are spacious & a comfortable bed. We had an evening meal on the first night plenty of choice & food was excellent. Also a lovely self service breakfast on each morning.

Other Comments

After booking this hotel we read mixed reviews about it and were sceptical about going. Once there we were pleasantly surprised easy check in room ready on arrival. Great location. Would definitely book again.

All the staff, apart from the General Manager, were very professional, friendly.

Other Comments

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.

On arrival at the hotel we experienced great service, room with 2 comfy chairs, a canal view & the same view when dining . The manager was waiting on in the restaurant (we believe his name is James) which was very busy. He was friendly & obliging with a good sense of humour. The food was excellent.

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.
