Disappointing, given previous experience.
Good location and good-size rooms. Breakfast very good. Stayed here several times before. This time the room with a canal-side view had one small window, with a faulty blind. The room had emergency lighting with an excessively bright green light which made a good night's sleep impossible.

I found the hotel to be well situated to the local amenities.
The room was well equipped and clean, the bedding and towels were fresh. The staff at reception were friendly and made booking in/out hassle free.
I would gladly stay here again.

Ideal location for Skipton, or walking the town path.
Public spaces are lovely, our room was a bit tired though.
Noisy in the early hours...not sure what. It sounded like fans going on and off.
Ate at the bar one night which was ok. Breakfast was lovely, eating with a canal view.

Great pool
This is a very convenient hotel close to Skipton with the added bonus of a pool.
Some of the rooms are looking a little tired, but hopefully with the rebranding, the rooms will be upgraded.
Very comfortable - just a little tired.
In high season it’s hard to justify.

Great location ! Not anything else near great !
Stayed for weekend, lady from Leeds on reception lovely, the rest of staff in bar & restaurant failed any customer service satisfaction ! Everything seemed too much trouble & met with an unhelpful attidude when asked to clarify prices meal services. Price of alcohol in bar crazy Stella, vodka & coke £16.40( first & last visit). Fire alarm 8pm on Sunday for 2 minutes then stopped & no reassurance from any staff members to update guests in rooms whether it was real or not? Room was good in size & bed comfortable !

Relaxing few days
Lovely room, friendly staff, excellent breakfast. Let down badly by restaurant and bar service in the evening. Slow and orders placed received wrongly both restaurant and bar.
