8/10 Good
"We stayed for 3 nights. The Inn is in a great central location, a few steps from the town centre. 5 min walk to the Skipton Castle. 2 min walk to the bus stop where you can get the local bus to take you to various beautiful spots in the Yorkshire Dales, if you are not driving like us. The Inn was very clean. Although our room was very small we had Comfortable bed. The room could use a chair to sit on instead of having to sit on the bed when in the room. The breakfast was good and plentiful. Did miss some freshly baked goods. Overall good. Would stay again in the future."

10/10 Excellent
"Extremely easy to locate the hotel using the postcode given. We arrived in Skipton rather early and parked in the long stay car park round the back which is £8.10 for 9 hours but free from 6pm- 9am. There is free parking on the side road next to the hotel if you're lucky enough to secure a space. We had a lovely walk round Skipton centre - it's full of independent shops selling gifts, coffee, cakes and fish to name but a few. Great to see also lots of little pubs and banks/ building societies still going strong. We were able to check in earlier than 3pm and our room ( number 2) was absolutely perfect for our overnight comfort. Our curry cruise that evening was super but it was surpassed by the amazing full english breakfast at The Railway. We look forward to our next visit to Skipton and another stay in this lovely inn. Thankyou ❤️"
