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)

A beautiful room, which was exceptionally clean.

Fortunate to be able to get a table for friends staying nearby to join us for a fantastic meal!

Actually stayed for 2 nights! Big bonus was secure car parking at the rear of the building a token is required from the bar! Comfortable Room no 7 overlooking main st! It’s a vibrant hotel very busy quality food and nice outdoor seating. Children & Dogs welcome! My breakfast both days was delicious, my partner had an issue with his today he ordered scrambled eggs mushrooms & beans! The scrambled eggs were weird flat tasted of cheese runny he couldn’t eat them, so did mention this to the waitress who to be fair offered to replace them but my decided not too bother !

Excellent as always
Stayed a few times, always excellent. Rooms, food, beer, staff, can’t fault anything. Not cheap, but worth it. Evening meal was excellent, restaurant quality as opposed to pub grub.

Lovely old inn.
Very enjoyable stay. Very friendly staff. Lovely old pub. Warm comfortable room but really quite small and being a very old building not very soundproof.
Great location.

Very enjoyable over night stay - one small issue with a remote that wouldn't work - but other than that very pleasant. Staff were all very helpful and friendly and room was clean, comfortable and nicely furnished.
