Great hotel but a bit dated.
Restaurant and bar area are great, food fantastic if a little pricey.
Pool could use a refurb and the jacuzzi was closed disappointingly
Great location, great staff.
I went with a superior room which was lovely and spacious but very dated.
Would stay again but wouldn’t pay extra for an upgraded room.
When we arrived we were checked in by a very pleasant lady who made everything clear and simple We entered our room and the room was very spacious and clean after unpacking we headed for the bar which was very nice too and the bar staff were very friendly and polite all in all we had a great overnight stay
As we arrived the reception staff were very helpful. Family room was spacious and clean. Nice location by the canal and a short walk in to the town of Skipton. Evening entertainment was very good and the bar was very nice. If we're ever up there again we'd definitely stay again.
Short stay, lovely room with great view over the canal and fields. Iron was worn out and burnt my shirt! Otherwise ok facilities, bathroom a little tired .

Room needed refurbishment. Bathroom was tired looking & air con didnt work very well/noisy.
Staff were very helpful. Breakfast had normal yoghurt only & no other choices. Bar was very expensive & no air con so was very warm/uncomfortable.

Clean room, lovely staff, nice bar area lovely dining room for breakfast, very good breakfast.
Superb location beside the canal.
Conservatory restaurant overlooking beautiful hillside and the canal and serving full selection of food at moderate price. Lovely evening meal.
Breakfast was excellent.
Relaxing lounge with entertainment very much enjoyed.
Room was very small and in need of an upgrade but we understand this is ongoing. A box of tissues would have been a useful extra. Bed very comfortable and room quiet.
Staff all very hardworking and skilled at their job. A very enjoyable night’s stay.

Lovely breakfast.Staff very pleasant and helpful. Parking difficult.
We are a family of 5 so stayed in the party suite as would otherwise need 2 rooms. It was absolutely superb. So spacious with loads of amenities. Best hotel room we’ve ever had. Staff lovely and location perfect. Fabulous stay
Our 1 night stay was fine ...a very warm night and the hotel had a sepperate electric fan in the room... the a/c was not working at all so this fan was a life saver ! The breakfast was lovely and we used the pool which was also enjoyable but small things like plastic bags to take your wet swim costumes is a simple addition .. overall a nice stay in a hotel that needs an upgrade 😌
