Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and airy but unfortunately situated above noisy areas like the function room. The service was efficient and friendly, but some requests took quite a while to be fulfilled. The location was convenient with nearby amenities but suffered from constant noise. The dining experience had its ups and downs with good food but somewhat chaotic service.
The hotel had mixed experiences. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the issue with the disabled room allocation was disappointing. The service was friendly and efficient, with a few hiccups around payment. The location was convenient for exploring Skipton, but some cleanliness issues were noted. The dining was enjoyable, especially in the official dining room. The facilities were overall good, with some minor improvements needed.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying the peaceful rooms with lovely views of the hilly countryside. Putting up a travel cot for my baby was easy, and the spacious, clean room with a view over the canal made my stay very pleasant. However, the room was a bit too warm even with the windows open and radiators off.
My stay at the hotel was lovely, with a comfortable room offering a view of the canal. The cleanliness was impeccable, although the decor felt a bit outdated. The room exceeded my expectations, especially with the patio doors providing easy access to the canal bank. The service was exceptional, with all staff members being courteous and efficient. The location was perfect, offering great views and easy walking access to the town. The dining experience was enjoyable, but a bit lacking in fresh seasonal options. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel overlooks the picturesque Leeds Liverpool Canal and offers spacious rooms equipped with essential amenities like a hairdryer, iron, and tea and coffee facilities. While the rooms could use some light updating, the view of geese, ducks, and narrow boats adds a charming touch. The light switches might be a bit confusing, but the overall room size and supplies make for a comfortable stay.
The hotel offers beautiful views of the canal and hills beyond from the upgraded rooms, despite some issues with room temperature control. The staff are friendly, though some service areas could benefit from improvement. The location is perfect for exploring Skipton and the Dales. Dining provides good options, with some room for enhancement. Overall, a pleasant stay with room for improvement in certain areas.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel, enjoying a lovely view of the hills and farms from my room until late afternoon. The room was well-equipped with a kettle, iron, hairdryer, iron board, and TV. The proximity to the restaurant and toilets was convenient. The staff truly made the experience remarkable though we faced challenges with water supply for a couple of days. The location provided both great views and easy access to town. Dining in the conservatory area overlooking the canal was a pleasant experience. The facilities were satisfactory, though improvements could be made.
