Lives up to expectations.

In the centre of town so in easy walking distance to shops and attractions. Parking behind the hotel is a little awkward but once you get in there is plenty of space. Breakfast was delicious and served quickly. Rooms have no view but quiet.

Little gem in Skipton

From the moment of arrival in the secure car parking area to the outdoor seating, through to the dining room and busy bar it was all great. All very clean and bright and welcoming. As were the staff, a great little find. Its a bit like the 'Tardis' inside. (Dr Who)
