Not that it impacted our break at all but the TV reception in the room was very patchy. Other than that, everything was great.

Reviewed Aug 30, 2026Location was excellent as was the value for money. There was 2 parking spaces off the main road but very steep driveway. Room was very nice and good value for money.
They did not do breakfast but Q&A answers said “We are bed and breakfast” not the end of the world as plenty near by places, however I would expect breakfast if a previously answered question said they did. Also there were tea and coffee facilities but no tea. However when I asked there was an apology and we were given 4 tea. Bags and an apology. I received an email stating check in times but no checkout time. We got a knock on the door at 10-40 asking what time where we leaving as checkout was 10am. I told her the email only stated a check in and she should put it in the same email as check in.

Reviewed Aug 12, 2026Location is central. Right next to Tesco petrol station so if you have the windows open ( which you have to ) it’s noisy
Very very hot. I know it’s a heatwave but close the curtains maybe? It was noisy as next to Tesco petrol station. The towels didn’t smell fresh so I just used a hand towel. The bed linen also didn’t smell fresh. I think the duvet and pillows need a proper clean. The bed linen was clean but the actual duvet and pillow - it smelt musty and well used and it put me off so I slept without the duvet on me. Smelt like a teenagers bed if that makes any sense. I messaged the hotel to check in early and no response so I walked up only to find they had gone out so I had to walk back into town and find a co working space to use to have a work meeting. Free toiletries comprised of soap… sink in bathroom gurgled a lot randomly and spiked water up through the plug hole and over the sink which was strange so I put the plug in to try and stop it. No one about to report any of this to. I would not stay there again and certainly not for the £99 it cost me. I stay in a lot of hotels/ b and bs with work and all I want is a clean room and a goods night sleep but this didn’t give me that.

There is limited parking on site. Fortunately, we were able to find one available spot on the main road so that helped. Our room was at the front of the building which meant we could hear the constant flow of traffic but as we were only staying for one night it wasn't a big problem. The shower head over the bath was small. Therefore the water flow wasn't very strong.

Reviewed Oct 15, 2025Great value for money. Warm welcome from the lovely owner, Debbie. Excellent location, five - ten minutes walk from the centre of Skipton and other attractions such as the castle and canal. Plenty of free on-street parking right outside the property. Nice clean, warm, double room on the top floor (stairs not a problem for us but check with the property when booking if you'd struggle). Room had everything we needed for a short stay.
Downside of being so close to town was the location on a busy main road so there was some traffic noise but fairly quiet midnight - 6am so we still slept okay.
