Staff were very friendly. It’s a great pub, busy with pleasant customers, the beer is good (but all Timothy Taylor’s…in case you don’t like theirs..)
We went out into the town and came back and ate our evening meal in the pub.
There’s a fair bit to do in skipton - we were just there overnight. If you like a local pub, the accommodation and staff, and whole set up is just perfect. The rooms are pretty small, but fine if you’re just sleeping and showering….
Highly recommended if you’re a traveler that likes to stay in pubs…

Staff were fantastic, very welcoming as we arrived slightly earlier than check in time. The gent from the bar explained all the parking facilities and provided us with a token for the barrier for the car park at rear of the pub. He also provided fresh chilled milk for our room. All other staff were professional, polite & friendly.

Parking is an issue, we went to collect a token so we could enter the car park, to find there were no spaces. We were then told to park in a public car park several streets away at a cost. This is not mentioned on the website.
The room was fine, the shower room very small.
The kettle would not fit under the tap in the sink.
The bed was very comfortable.
The evening meal was very bland, little or no seasoning.
The room over looked the street, which was extremely noisy until after 2am. So a very poor night’s sleep.
Breakfast was average. No dairy alternatives available.
Will not stay again.

Lovely hotel

Hotel is a good location in the high street, secure parking at the rear. Our room faced the Main Street which was nicely decorated. It's a very busy pub/hotel sometimes difficult to find a seat. Breakfast on the first day was excellent we both had full English but second day my partner had only ordered scrambled eggs & mushrooms they looked like cheese and strange consistency so never ate them! Liked the idea of small flasks of milk for the room which you could ask at the bar to be refilled kept milk cool!

Room was very small and a very small shower. However it was very quiet even with the window constantly open because of the heat outside.
The bed was very comfy, and the flask of fresh milk for the coffee was a very nice change from the small cartons as you get in most places.
The staff were all very friendly and very helpful.
The breakfast was very good and with a wide choice. However I did notice that some of the yoghurts were actually 3 or 4 days past their use by date. I am sure that this was just an oversight as everything else was very good service and quality.
There was a nice restaurant and bar with several real ales from the local brewery on every evening

The end is a very old building in the center of town. We had no idea that it would be so busy around the Inn. Our room was so hot, and the window couldn’t open very far due to it hitting a downspout pipe. We had two fans running all night and it was a difficult sleep. Also, the bed was very uncomfortable, and the pillows were hard and flat. The breakfast Was good

Birthday visit

A one night birthday trip. Staff are welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. Room comfortable if a little small. Room was very warm but solved by turning off the heat and opening the window. My only recommendation would be for the waiting staff to bring out the required knives for meals. Had soup and a roll with whipped butter but no knife to spread butter, also had steak again no steak knife. Both had to be requested. Small details like this are unimportant but would make things more amazing.

Plenty of choices for breakfast however the cooked breakfast wasn’t that nice and the yogurts were on their use by date .The room was extremely disappointing for a superior plus ! There was excrement inside the toilet , black hairs inside the bath, the extractor fan was full of dirt and dust .The shower heads were filthy and didn’t work properly as was the shower doors . Fully refurbed ?? I’m not sure it has been. Although it was clear it was a dog friendly place I think there should be limits in place as not everyone wants to sit and eat or drink with dogs .Overall we did have a nice time but I think that was down to the staff being so nice and how we made it ourselves .

Great choice of food .And in the heart of the town we enjoyed the market. Skiptons Sheep Day. Afternoon tea on a canal cruise. And a wonder round the shops .
