The accommodation and staff were exellent. However the hotel only reopened at Easter following refurbishment. The bar has limited opening closing between 5pm and 7pm and food is only served until about 5pm at the present time which means guests have to eat early or find another option for dinner, which is about a 25 minute walk into Skipton.

Rooms are small, but recently refurbished, bright and very clean. Staff are friendly and helpful, but business has recently reopened and there are still processes that need to be sorted out.

None of the above. The hotel was dreadful. No roaring fire...no evening meal/food...no breakfast. I have stayed in better Truck stops.

The limited check in time and nobody to help as I arrived at 1820 meant I had to pay for another hotel for the night. The pub was closed despite it saying it was open on the hotel website.

“Bar only opened five weeks ago”; “kitchen only opened three weeks ago”; “we’re new and never run a hotel before”. WiFi didn’t work, consequently smart TV didn’t either. It was a bit like walking into someone’s front room

Arrived Monday afternoon, member of staff said the chef had done a runner, on the Tuesday another member of staff said the chef had a day off, on the Wednesday another member of staff said the chef had taken an extra day off and offered us tea and coffee and cornflakes foc. The bar closed at 5 so if you wanted an evening meal you had to order early, that is if the chef was in. Sorry i cant give this hotel a rating, and the shower was hopless.

Clean rooms clean towels which smelled lovely clean bed and the bedding smelled lovely. The facilities are fairly new so my stay in new facilities was a nice experience. The pub facilities is nice and small in a sense of local pub. Small outside seating area which is very pleasant overlooking the fields. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again when I venture up to Skipton. Location to Skipton 5 minutes drive probably 25 minute walk.

Right on the doorstep of the Yorkshire Dales sets an idyllic location for this friendly pub/ hotel. Very friendly welcome with exceptional hospitality. The room was clean and of a good size, a very comfortable stay and the staff could not be more helpful. This property is also very pet friendly. Highly recommended
